    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 okay to use hand sanitizer on my face?

  • 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.

  • Question
    Can you suggest any kind of morning and night moisturizer?

  • 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.

    You probably have really nice skin! However, I would keep washing it so you don't get any new pimples. Also, be sure not to wear too much makeup, otherwise it could clog your pores and give you pimples/blackheads.

    Community Answer
    Yes, these products are suitable. Just make sure you don't use them too much. Don't use the scrub more than twice a week, and don't use the mask more than three times a week. Don't forget to moisturize your skin after. As a spot treatment, I recommend Tea Tree Oil.

    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.

    What is the best face moisturizer for soft and moist skin?
    Pretty_Butterfly28
    Community Answer
    For soft and moist skin, a moisturizer with humectants and emollients is ideal. Look for products containing hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramides, which help draw moisture to the skin and create a protective barrier. Some popular choices include CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, Dot & Key Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer, or Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream.
  • Question
    What kind of face wash should I use for my brown, oily skin?
    Community Answer
    I have oily skin, too, and recommend Dr. Bronner's pure Castile soap. They have many different types, but definitely recommend either the peppermint or tea tree oil one. It has many useful oils for your skin, and doesn't strip your skin of its natural oils.
