ill be choosing best answer!What your best advice [ 10 points ]?
if you want something form a drugstore buy clean and clear continuous control cleanser with the clean and clear advantage oil-free moisturizer. if you have oily skin use both in the morning and at night. if you have combination or dry skin use only at night and apply the moisturizer in the morning. dont use bad makeup! for oily skin use powder. liquid foundation and oily skin just dont work well together. an awesome powder is physicians formula mineral loose powder. it soaks up unwanted oil and helps sensitive and acne prone skin. but the last thing you want to do is put loose powder on dry skin. dry skin needs to be hydrated throughout the day. use physicians formula mineral liquid makeup. it also helps sensitive and acne prone skin. another thing you can do with any kind of skin type is go with all natural cleansers. try zyporex, its all natural and just for acne. it give you a really clean feeling. natural can be the best thing because it doesnt contain harsh chemicals that can irritate your face rather than help.What your best advice [ 10 points ]?
Wear sunscreen everyday! It will prevent wrinkles when you're older.
The Clinique Skin Care line is amazing. They have special products for all skin types and they even have a line especially for acne. I use the acne one, and my skin cleared up within a few days and stays like that if you use their products as directed. It's fairly expensive, but they work awesome.


Hope that helps :D
I have extremely dry skin. I use Dove or Olay bath wash, Olay bath lotion, then either Curel Ultra Healing or Eucerin Intensive Care lotions after every bath. For my feet, elbows an knees I use the equate brand dry skin creme in the white tub, for my face I use the Olay definity line of products. I don't have acne so I don't use anything for it. I don't really have any products that don't recommend.
For acne, anything that has 10% benzol peroxide will dry your pimples wonderfully, but then you are left with dry skin so putting some lotion on at night is a good idea, but don't wear it during the day or your face will appear oily.


If you have pimples under the skin, I suggest using MURAD skin products, it's like Proactiv but It works a lot better.


As for getting your skin to glow, you might want to use some cleanser that really helps get under and prevents pimples, such as Nuetrogena Acne Wash
buy a moisturizer and a foundation with an spf.


always carry a lip balm with you :) benefit do a good one with an spf in it :)





clesnse tone moisturize morning and night always remove ALL your make up (benefit do a good one that doesn't strip your face !)





don't use clean and clear or clearasil they are evil they strip your face and unbalence your skin and make your skin produce even more oil!!
for healthy skin: drink plenty of water as this keeps your skin hydrated and will keep it looking and feeling healthy. Also drink plenty of milk, have no idea what it does bt it does work and keep your skin looking good. It also stops you getting those white marks on your nails.


if you want your skin to glow, again drink plently of water, exfoliate to remove all of your dead skin and allow your new healthy skin to grow. also buy a good moisturiser(proberly one with tanner in) for your skin to make it glow and look sunkissed.


nivea moisturisers i find the best(doesnt really matter which one) but do not buy the dove moisteriser with tanner in cos its rubbish.


also if your going to apply moisturiser with fake tan in, u must exfoliate incase you will end up with streaks. hope this helps.
Well, to start I would say invest in some Clinique! I'm sure a lot of people will tell you this as it is truly fantastic.


You should go into one of the stores and ask them to tell you your skin type (you can even do the test yourself online on their website). When you know what type you are you'll be able to cater for your own specific skin i.e. does it need lots of hydration, oil control, blemish help.


If you don't already, make sure you are cleansing, toning and moisturising day and night. You need a nice facial scrub, whether it is the Clinique step one or a Simple product. I find anything that is specifically aimed at spots (such as Clearasil) usually causes me to break out, even though I have clear, blemish free skin 99% of the time.


The next step is tone which drags out all the impurities which is essential morning and night! Again I 100% recommend Clinique! You can actually see the muck being pulled from your skin.


A few other tips are using a facial SPF every day!! I use a Clinique one which is SPF 40 and also protects against pollution which is imperative!! We often forget just how bad being out and about is for our skin.


I also take care of my eye area by using a cream JUST for my eyes and applying it gently to protect the delicate skin.


It's also fun to do facial masks once a week. You can do it with friends of have it on while you're busy! Masks and treatments are where the 'shine' comes from!


As for acne. Just make sure you really are washing twice a day and always taking your makeup off.


Honestly though, go to a Clinique counter. They will tell you everything you ever need to know!!


Good luck!!!! Hope I helped.
Well it depends on what you're trying to combat. Acne and dry skin are two problems on completely opposite sides of the skin spectrum. In short, if your battling dry skin, exfoliate once every three days and use on oil based moisturizer twice a day. If you problem is with acne, use a face bar (soap) and least once a day, and scruffing lotion to remove dry skin that traps oil and creates pimples.
Okay, I am serious about skincare, so I hope this helps you:





1) Do not wash your face with hot (HOT) water, but with warm water or cooler water. This is especially important to remember when you are cold and get into a lovely hot shower. Don't put your face under the running, HOT water.





2) Wash your face every morning and every evening (before bed). Do not scrub hard, but use your fingernails lightly if you would like. Never scrub your face hard. If you actually take your make-up off each night, it will really help your skin.





3) Use lotion. If your skin is red and oily, it's producing too much oil because it ';thinks'; it is dry. This is from the hot water, too much hard scrubbing, or not enough washing (morning and night). Use lotion no matter what. Go ahead and mix it with water to dilute it, but always use lotion.





4) I recommend Aveeno clear complexion foaming cleanser (in a pump with a green label) or Noxema (stings a little when you use it, but the sensitive formula does not sting at all). These are gentle products that still actually get all of the dirt and make-up off. Follow with lotion (see #3).





5) Try to get jobs somewhere other than a restaurant. This can really wreak havok on your skin. You can work as a lifeguard, in a library or business, at a grocery store, delivering papers, or at the movie theatre. Working at a food restaurant - fast or other - can ruin your skin. I'm not kidding.





6) Don't touch your face. You would be amazed at the amount of germs your hands pick up during the day. Wash your hands frequently and make sure you don't touch your face all day - whether it's to chew your nails, apply make-up (wash your hands first), or lean your chin on during your boring lecture.





I really think that this will help you. If you really have bad acne (white bumps), see a dermatologist about them prescribing ProActive (very expensive - I don't think you even need a prescription) or Retinol (not as expensive, but just as effective on acne). Good luck. p.s. I do not recommend Dove bar soap on the face.
