What is your skin type?

I use 'Simple' face wipes because any other brand irritates my eyes and I use Nivea face cream cos it's just right....not too oily but still moisturises my skin. I think it's a question of trial and error as each person's skin is unique. Oh and 'Witch Stick' for clearing up nasty spots! x x x

i tried just about every skincare range but i'm using Clinique's 3 step face care right now and it really works.

I like the Biore range or the Witch Hazel range :smile:
I've tried tons of different ones but Wilkos do a vitamin e cleanser for 75p and that's the first one that's worked for me. Their tea tree face wipes are good too and don't bring me out in blotches which is good. :smile:
The Neutogena range is very good IMO
clean and clear range

body shop body butter is great as is johnsons 24 hr moisturiser.
I use Garnier Skin Naturals. I use the Pure range including the PureA Daily treatment moisturiser which has improved my skin so much.

I've tried about every moisturiser on the market in search of something a little more exciting than Nivea but i keep coming back to it - everything else is too greasy for my skin :-\

Ooh and beauty trick - invest in a tub of Sudocrem if you have spotty skin - its an antiseptic cream - also used for nappy rash :biggrin: but it's amazing..clears up your skin really fast if you apply to problem areas at night

Its best for you skin if you try and stick to one brand from all the products, eg. cleanser, moisturiser, toner etc. I think this is meant to reduce any irritation if your skin is sensitive and can stop it getting blotchy. I use Simple which works really well for my combination skin type. You can choose the product by going by your skin type, so if your skin is greasy - go for a product designed for greasy skin. Use trial and error to find the brand best for your skin. Hope this helps! x

I've been using enzymion from lush. It's really good for me as I have quite oily skin, but it's been a bit too heavy since the weather's been hot! Instead I've been using a witch moisturiser which feels much nicer :smile:
I use clinique 3 step skin care system and a clinique weekly scrub. I think it's really good. At the clinique counter they will ask questions about your skin and then give you the right product for the type of skin you have. You also get little freebies :smile:

Do you just apply it direct to your spots? never thought of using that before

I was told that by a lovely virgin cosmetics consultant at one of those cosmetics parties. If you are unsure about what products suit your skin try going to a cosmetics counter which does skincare too and they will give you great advice. Also remember that your skin type (oily, combination etc) changes and will differ so the products you have been using may not be sutible forever...

Yup just slap it on...i usually forget i've put it on and then go out/open the door to someone and theyre looking at me funny and its only afterwards i realise i had big white patches on my face :redface:
For blemishes, use this Garnier stick thing that is like a tube and you squeeze out gel stuff and you target spots, really effective, some of my spots went away over one night!! I would suggest giving it a go, although I think its quite expensive, I can't remember how much it was... :confused:
