I could never get it to moisturize my skin as well as my petroleum-based moisturizers, but I'm thinking about trying it again on my hair given all the recommendations here!</p> <p>OTOH, I did successfully switch to honey as my cleanser. Surprisingly, it turned out to be even less drying than tepid water. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skincare-tips-and-questions#post-823236 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:01:00 +0000 moira 823236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I make my own toner with tea tree oil, witch hazel and water. It works very well and is quite gentle.<br /> Do not let men use tea tree oil. I forget why, but it is bad for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skincare-tips-and-questions#post-822900 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 00:50:12 +0000 Raisin 822900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I moisturizer with argan oil as well...love it! I use the clarisonic for face washing and exfoliating, with the Josie Maran argan oil face cleanser. It does a great job. I really try to keep my products to a minimum and use as natural as ones I can. I don't want to slather 100s of chemicals into my face and body. Oh and don't forget sunscreen! Necessary chemicals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skincare-tips-and-questions#post-822889 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 00:43:15 +0000 moira 822889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see a lot of young women with acne on the side of their chin and only there. I think they need to wipe down their cell phones with alcohol once in awhile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skincare-tips-and-questions#post-815049 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 05:21:34 +0000 Jenava 815049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a link to the site where I buy my products:</p> <p><a href="http://www.paulaschoice.com/expert-advice/anti-aging/_/exfoliate-for-bright-smooth-and-radiant-skin" rel="nofollow">http://www.paulaschoice.com/ex.....diant-skin</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skincare-tips-and-questions#post-813893 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:00:36 +0000 BlondeAmbition 813893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is BHA or AHA? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skincare-tips-and-questions#post-813364 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 00:04:21 +0000 Jenava 813364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try a BHA or AHA exfoliant if manual exfoliants irritate your skin...</p> <p>My tips<br /> Use 2% Benzoyl Peroxide gel for acne (several brands are available, I've had luck with any that I've tried as long as they are 2% and a gel)</p> <p>Question - has anyone had any experience with Emu Oil? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skincare-tips-and-questions#post-813241 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 22:03:20 +0000 Inge 813241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tips everyone.</p> <p>I have made a scrub at home to exfoliate my body, I wouldn't use this on my face though, much too abrasive for my sensitive skin:<br /> Just mix some olive oil into a small bowl with caster sugar (I have no exact quantities, I just keep adding olive oil until I get the consistency I like), you could add a few drops of your favourite essential oil if you don't like the smell of the olive oil (I don't mind because I shower it right off anyway).</p> <p>FYI: Some people use salt instead of sugar. I tried that once when I was out of sugar... never again: if you have even the tiniest cut it stings like crazy:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skincare-tips-and-questions#post-812645 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:11:47 +0000 Anonymous 812645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, the Argan oil is good for hair and cuticles too. I put a few drops on my palms to apply to the face, then cuticles then run the still slightly oiled palms over my hair to smooth the frizzies.<br /> I think some make sugar scrubs at home for exfoliating. There must be instructions on the web. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skincare-tips-and-questions#post-812633 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 12:26:08 +0000 BlondeAmbition 812633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the tip. I want to exfoliate more often but I'm weary of abrasive skin products. Is there anything I can make at home with natural products that will exfoliate? I've heard that honey works but do I apply it straight on my face?</p> <p>I believe in SPF too. But it has to be built in to my moisturizer, I can't be bothered with applying 2 separate products. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skincare-tips-and-questions#post-811727 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:04:41 +0000 Isabel 811727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure that I have a tip...but I just want to say that there seem to be so many great, affordable products out there now. I have found that it really took me some experimenting before settling with something. It also took me a while to think of "mixing" stuff together, like my sunblock and tinted moisturizer. </p> <p>I think that it really is so personal and takes some time. Though I think that everyone should use subnblock. </p> <p>Joy, I want to start using moisturizing oil in the Winter. I didn't know what to use. I will try the Argan oil. I hear it is great for hair too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skincare-tips-and-questions#post-811705 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:48:46 +0000 Anonymous 811705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't get around to posting on the skin care blog either. I use Argan oil from Whole Foods for a moisturizer and Mary Kay tinted moisterizer instead of a foundation.<br /> Tip: Exfoliate. Exfoliate. Exfoliate. with whatever method works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skincare-tips-and-questions#post-811645 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:46:38 +0000 BlondeAmbition 811645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was a bit late checking in on the skincare blogpost. Maybe we can use this thread as a way to post a personal tip about skincare and to also ask a question.</p> <p>My Tip: Change your pillowcases every couple of days and wash your pillows or use pillow protectors. Pillows are a breeding ground for bacteria!</p> <p>Question: I need a recommendation for a good organic moisturizer and a tinted moisturizer. </p>
