I love dhc too!!! I found them less than a month ago and I'm obsessed!!!!

 

[glamslam]

Yeah I like DHC too

I figured, after they sent me the 4th catalog with all the samples stuffed in it, I really should order something! I'm so glad I did. It's a great line.

 

[jennyb]

Yeah, I have a problem though. I ordered the deep cleansing oil, then the day I recieved the stuff I decided I wanted more, so I placed another order, basically this happend three separate times!!! I made 4 separate orders, because I'm a cheap a#$ (or at least try to be) (I try to buy only one item, at max 2, and then later on I end up giving in), and I end up spending a lot more on shipping and handling!!! I swear!!! Oh well, at least I love all the stuff. And I received a $10 certificate, so now I'm excited but scared, because I don't want the cycle to continue.

Oh, and by the way, what do you like from dhc???

LOL! Too funny!I must have my Deep Cleansing Oil, if I ever somehow get caught running out, I'll die. I also enjoy the Pure Soap right now, since my skin can be oily in the summer months.

Hello!!

I am changing skinproducts all the time, because I haven`t found any that has helped me dramatically!I got some acne problems after I had my daughter, I guess it`s hormonal, but it is sooo annoying because I have never had acne before.Well...this is what I use right now:

SKINTYPE: Combo/sensitive

CLEANSE:Obagi Nu derm Foam cleanser (Well...I`m not that impressed yet.It dries out the skin around my nose, but is ok for my forhead and chin.My skin might be a bit too sensitive for this one.I was just so egar to try anything.It`t for those with very oily skin i guess)

TONER:Obagi Nu derm (I don`t use it in my nose anymore, but it`s quit good on my acne ares)

SERUM:Este Lauder Idealist Skin Refinisher(because I am an Idealist.He he..)

and at night, Proto Col Silk firming serum

MOISTURISER:Obagi C-exfoliating day lotion(This one I am satisfied with (The only one it seams.LOL)

SUNSCREEN:Obagi Sunguard spf 30

EYE CREAM:I am CONSTANTLY looking for new and better eye creams.It`s a obsession!!(I am 31 with some slightly visible crowfeets)

Right now I use Freeze 24/7 with La Mer eye balm on top.(I know, I`m desperate!!)

Exfoliator:Well I just one from the health shop a while ago.It was ok.I might have to buy some more.I know it is important to remove dead skin regularly.

MASK:I use a Green Clay Mask from my local health shop.I try do do it once a week, but I forget a lot.I also use The Body Shop`s Honey & Oat.I love the smell!!!Mmmmmmmm

Well...I just have to add that I have bought Dermalogica Active moist. and The Microfoliant.You see..I`m constantly on the search!And now I`m going to check out the DHC line you are talking about!I WANT FLAWLESS SKIN!!!!!

What foundation do you use???

Originally Posted by DallasGirl Hi all, This is my first post. I had problem skin for years and still breakout with the use of a lot of products but what FIXED my skin was Paula's Choice.

But I also have probelms depending on which foundation I use.....it seems I breakout to a lot of foundations with sunscreen, the best one I have found that doesn't irritate my skin is NARS oil free. THIS ROUTINE SERIOUSLY FIXED MY SKIN ALONG WITH CHANGING FOUNDATIONS!!! I had been going to a dermatologist that had only made my skin worse!!
If you need more specific names of the face products to find them let me know.......they are not in front of me at the moment.

beauty without cruelty green tea eye gel- i actually use it on my lids only- it lasts a while and unlike most eye gels u get a whole 1oz for like 11$.

 

[maryfitz24]

My current skin care regimen is as follows: (normal skin, t-zone in summer, some breakout)

cleanser- Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser in AM, Prescriptives cleanser for normal skin in PM

toner- I do use one.

moisturizer- Prescriptives all you need (normal skin) in AM/PM, sometimes in PM, I use Serious Skin Care's 2 Vitamin A cream

exfoliator- Clinique's exfoliating scrub

eye cream- I do not buy a separate cream. I use samples from GWP (usually Clinique)

I am sure at some point I will be switching my skin care regimen. It seems like my skin gets used to something and then the products become ineffective. I have been using the Prescriptives for 3 weeks now. So far, so good. My skin has cleared up a great deal.
