Right now, I am using a face wash reccommended by my mom, but because it is only breaking me out I am going back to Clean & Clear. I only use Clean & Clear once a day (at night) and it keeps my acne at bay, but I always have a few small (really hard to see though) pimples.
So here is what I do:
Nightly Regimen:
-While in the shower get a pinch of baking soda & half a pump of Clean & Clear Oil-Free Foaming Facial Cleanser.
-Scrub lightly for 60 seconds.
-Rinse off and finish shower
-Once out of shower lightly pat face dry
(Because ALL mosturizers break me out, I use Vaseline as a nightly mask)
-Get a small scoop of Vaseline and rub on face
-Finish getting ready for bed and go to sleep
-Wake up with a healthy, glowing face
NOTE:Becasue the Vaseline is oily and I have bangs I put my hair back with a headband every night.
What?! You use Vaseline on your FACE?! How can you stand the oily feeling? Doesn't Vaseline clog your pores?
Yes, you heard right. I put Vaseline on my face. I actually sort of like the oily feeling, it doesn't feel oily or greasy, but more of a soothing, softening feeling. It makes my normally dry and cracking skin soft and supple. Now it is a common misunderstandind that Vaseline blocks moisture. It actually keeps your natural moisture locked in, making your skin softer and smoother than ever! Some people DO happen to break out when they use Vaseline, but for me it works WONDERS! I dare you to try it out for yourself, even if it's only for a night. Now before you send me angry emails about clogged pores, hear me out. Vaseline has been the secret beauty weapon of African-American women for generations. It’s a a make-up remover, skin softerner, and sun burn soother. It can even be used as a smile enhancer (rub a little underneath your upper lip). Ageless beauties like Beverly Johnson and Lena Horne, both of whom could afford to drop big dough on expensive moisturizers, opt for Vaseline to moisturize their dry skin.
Try it out! If it doesn't work well for you, then you'll know. If it does then you may have found your dry skin solution!
WARNING: I am not liable for any problems caused ny this product. I am only tryimg to help those with dry, flaking skin.
