Favourite/HG Skincare

Re: Favourite/HG Skincare

I've been lurking around here for a while, but this is my first post... I LOVE skincare just as much as I love my make-up! I'm a die-hard Mario Badescu fan, as it is the ONLY thing that not only has gotten rid of my acne, but also normalized my combo skin. I've strayed a few times, and every time I broke out horribly... so never again will I cross Mario!

CLEANSER: Botanical Facial Gel (Summer) Enzyme Cleansing Gel (Winter)

TONER: Special Cleansing Lotion "C" (Summer) Special Cucumber Lotion (Winter)

MOISTURISER: Healing Cream & The Moisture Magnet SPF17

EYE CREAM: Ceramide Eye Gel (day) Hyaluronic Eye Cream (night)

EXFOLIATOR: Kiwi Facial Scrub or Rolling Cream Peel with AHA

ACNE TREATMENT: Drying Cream (my all time fave product!) but also the Drying Lotion (for full whiteheads) and Buffering Lotion (for cystic pimples and helps with scars)

MASK: Drying Mask (used with buffering lotion) and/or Cucumber Tonic Mask

OTHER: Make-Up Remover Gel (non-oily)

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!!!!!

KRISTINA

KittyM -- I'm late to this forum, but if you like Obagi, try the gentle cleansing gel (I think that's what it's called). Anyway, it's there basic gel cleanser. It cleanses really well and never dried out my skin. My husband (who would before wash his face with anything near by--dial, zest, tide... anything!) insists on it now because he swears it gets rid of blackheads.
Okay, hopefully I figured out this quote feature now...

Tell me about using the Bragg's Apple Cider vinegar as a toner. Do you use it straight or dilute? How is it beneficial? I love that stuff for cooking.
