    The best products for you depend on your skin type. For example, do you have dry skin, or is it oily? Is your skin clear, or do you have acne? Look for products that are designed for the type of skin you have (for example, try a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide if you have acne, or a hydrating cleanser if you have dry skin). No matter what, stick to products that are gentle and don’t have a lot of harsh ingredients, like alcohol, perfumes, and dyes.

    Keep your skin clean and prevent clogged pores by washing your face with a gentle facial cleanser twice a day. Moisturize your skin after you wash it so it doesn’t get irritated and dried out. You can also try over-the-counter acne creams, like benzoyl peroxide lotion. If you have pimples, resist the temptation to pop them, since that will just irritate your skin more! If your acne isn’t getting better or if it’s really bothering you, talk to your doctor. They can prescribe stronger medicines that will help.

    Be really careful with serums—some of them have strong ingredients that can be too harsh on your young skin. Instead, stick to gentle cleansers and moisturizers. If you’re not sure whether something is safe to use, ask your doctor or a dermatologist.

    Community Answer
    No, it's not. Face masks should only be applied 1 or 2 times a week. If you use them twice a day, you are guaranteed very dry skin that is unhealthy.
  • Question
    Is it oka to use hand sanitizer on my face?
    Community Answer
    No. The skin on your face is more sensitive, and hand sanitizer usually has a high alcohol content.
  • Question
    Instead of an exfoliating scrub, can I use an exfoliating cloth? We get them in Korea, where it is common to use a cloth that scrubs rather than a gel-like cream.
    Community Answer
    As long as you make sure the cloth is clean and sanitized prior to use, as otherwise they can carry bacteria that will make acne worse.

    Can I use Johnson's baby soap?
    Community Answer
    Yes, it is good to use baby soaps because they are gentle and have lower or no chemicals.They are not harsh on the skin and are smooth and soft to the skin. Soaps made for adults can be rougher and have fragrance and other cosmetic chemicals added that your skin doesn't need and sometimes might react to.

    Community Answer
    I would go with Neutrogena Moisturizer. That has always been my best bet. You can also do a knock off brand like Equate Beauty or Up And Up.
  • Question
    Can you suggest any kind of morning and night moisturizer?
    Community Answer
    I suggest using Simple or Nivea. Clean and Clear or any sort of specialist brand is not a good idea. If you have any allergies, be sure to read the labels carefully.
  • Question
    Does this count for both morning and night routine?
    Community Answer
    If you're asking if you can do it either in the morning or at night, yes, it doesn't matter when you do it. If you're asking if you need to do it twice a day, no, not the entire routine, though it does help to wash your face and apply moisturizer twice a day.
  • Question
    Can I use face cream in morning?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you can use face cream in morning. Using the face cream in the morning will work all day long. How your face will feel all day long depends on which type of cream you use.

    Whiteheads around the lips may be a result of eating greasy food. After eating a food with a lot of oil, rinse around your mouth. To get rid of existing spots, pay attention to the skin in affected areas, and use a reliable spot treatment.

    Pore-cleansing strips are typically too irritating for the skin. Use a salicylic acid to cleanse pores instead!

    Sofia Kopytek

    Vaseline can be used as a moisturizer for dry or sensitive skin, but it can make some people break out. If you do use Vaseline, avoid the eye area, as it can lead to pimple-like bumps called milia.
  • Question

    Nivea's soft cream. It is awesome; it helped with my acne, and I have very oily skin.
  • Question
    What kind of masks do you suggest?
    Ava Tucker
    Community Answer
    It really depends. What type of skin do you have? If your skin is really dry, get a moisturizing mask. The masks usually say what types of skin they are meant for.
  • Question
    How do you remove body hair?
    Ava Tucker
    Community Answer
    Get a razor. (Many people prefer to buy razors in multiple sets, but this causes more plastic waste, so it's up to you.) Use shaving cream or shampoo. Apply a thin layer to your skin, and carefully shave against the grain. Make sure you are pulling the razor, not pushing it. Apply lotion afterward, since shaving removes healthy oils from your skin. If you don’t like this method, you can try waxing.
  • Question
    What is a home remedy for blackheads?
    Ava Tucker
    Community Answer
    Steam (shower steam) can open your pores and unclog them, which causes blackheads to go away. There are many more efficient ways to do this, but this way is an easy, healthy habit.
  • Question
    I’m very busy, and I don’t get home at night until 9 or 9:30. When I do get home, I’m very tired and want to get to bed quickly. What should my skin care routine be that won’t take very long?
    Ava Tucker
    Community Answer
    Wash your face. This can just be some cold water. Do you want to have less dry skin, less acne, a dewy look, or have a more unified color to your face? If your skin is sensitive, avoid unnaturally-scented products and certain gritty products. For dry skin, get a moisturizer. For acne, use a mask while you sleep. (It just covers the acne.) For a unified color, get toner.
  • Question
    What if you spend a lot of time in the sun? Will that damage your face?

    Not if you wear sunscreen. If you don’t wear sunscreen, you can get redness, freckles or blisters. If you care about your face, wear sunscreen.

    What's the best face wash for teenage girls?
    Ava Tucker

    Anything that isn’t artificially scented is great. Many good washes are expensive, but there are also a lot of great cheaper options, too. A good moisturizer is Cetaphil, which is unscented and is recommended by dermatologists.

    Use a high-quality lip balm. If you bite your lips, make a conscious effort to stop. Drinking a lot of water can help, too.
  • Question
    Should I wear sunscreen on a daily basis?
    Ava Tucker
    Community Answer
    If you are exposed to sun on a daily basis, you should. Buying a higher SPF sunscreen can protect your skin, and you may not have to apply it multiple times a day. There are many problems that can arise out of overexposure to UV rays, so sunscreen is a great way to help prevent these problems.
  • Question
    Will simple cleansing products help me care for my skin?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you don't need a lot of fancy skin care products to have a good skin care regime. If you find out what works for you, stick with it. If you have a certain problem with your skin, you can directly search for brands a bit more pricey or with high ratings to attack the problem.
  • Question
