New skin care regimen...help

[maryfitz24]

I am trying to simplify my regimen even more. I am looking for a gentle cleanser, moisturizer (no spf) and exfoliator/brightener.

My skin is normal/dry, sensitive, and acne prone. Please help! Any recs for the above?

I don't have any recommendations for you, but I hope someone can advise you on which products might be good for you

I have a new HG. I am using Burts Bees (garden carrot line) and im in love!!! I tried the tomato and it made me breakout, but my mother practically begged me to try the carrot line since she has had such incredible luck with it. She gave me the soap and moisturizer (thats all no toner--2 steps) I was scared to use it because what BB did to it before with the tomato soap.

My mother had dry skin and rosacea. She is totally cleared up and her skin is not as dry now, it is like it repaired it.

My skin was oily prone and acne prone. Skin is totally cleared up and better than ever. I even had cystic acne starting a couple days before starting to use this product and that usually takes about a 3-4 weeks for one of those to go away.It has been 8 days since starting this product and the cystic acne is gone and everything is gone it is like a freakin miracle. It is priced well too. The carrot line (the only one I am swearing by) is a little harder to find, might need to go to a health food store because I have not been able to find it in Long's Drugs, Walgreens etc.

Yesterday I went and bought the eye cream-- Royal Jelly so I will see how that is working.

By the way the Garden Carrot line is for mature skin and says it helps with cell regeneration, and I think that just helps the skin all around plus the fact that it is more natural. I am 36 so I am not that old. Talked to a girl in the health food store yesterday and she is in her early 20's and uses the same, so dont get hung up on the mature skin thing.

Cetaphil is a pretty simple but reputable line. their stuff is fragrant free and mild. i like neutrogena's acne products also.

I can't really make a good recommendation, but it looks like you're starting to get some good ones already. Best of luck sweetie!

My regimen is soo simple, I hardley spend any time on it but the results are good.

Your skin dosent need to be overloaded with products..

For a mild cleanser: Cliniques Facial Soap (Mild)

For a moisturiser: (night time as they can be heavy for a quick moisturiser): Pure Jojoba Oil or Emu Oil (both very kind to problem skin)

And for foundation try Mineral Makeup, you will notice a difference in your skin very soon!

For cleanser and moisturizer, Cetaphil is very gentle and effective. As far as exfoliation goes, I have no reccs ATM.

My regimen is also simple but working really well. I use Olay Sensitive Skin Foaming Cleanser, Silkia camellia oil, Green Cream, Epidermx microderm and glycolic acid peels. My skin has improved to the point I don't need foundation any more.

Have you tried burtsbees.com or any health food stores (they are generally cheaper anyway) if you wish I could always get it too you.

You should give the Liz Earle skincare range a try. Her products are top-notch and made entirely from natural ingredients. They are said to be calming, soothing and relieving which sounds like what your skin might be looking for? www.lizearle.com if you'd like to take a look. They do a starter kit which contains cleanser, toner and moisturiser which you could benefit from.

Let me know how it goes PLEASSE! Lee.

Good and natural moisturizer would be Jojoba Oil in Oil form great for acne-proned skin. I heard Emu Oil is pretty good too and it heals inflammation!

I'm presently using Carley's DAytime Lotion which has Jojoba Oil in it but it's njot in oil but lotion form !

I looked into the Liz Earle site and it sounds good but they don't give all the details about what's in their products. I like to know everything up front. I have used the Alkaitis line and though it is very expensive it compares to nothing else. It is all natural all organic and works.

bad cat, you could e-mail them and ask them for the ingredients of the products you are interested in?
