Skin care product caused reaction on cheek...?

it's small, but red and dry. it was a new facial cleanser. i have sensitive skin. the ingredients in the products were salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. the area on my left cheek is small, red, and dry. today is the second day that i stopped using the products. in the mean time, i am putting aveeno ultra calming daily moisturizer on it to make it go away? is this gonna work? has anybody ever had a similar reaction to any face products like this? if so, what did you do or put on it to make it go away. I'm nervous, I just want it to go away. It doesn't itch, it's just red and dry. It was 3 products altogether, cleanser, toner, and than a benzoyl peroxide treatment lotion.

Skin care product caused reaction on cheek...?
Yes, I have. It was a reaction to Retinol in a product. I had red, dry, flaky patches on both of my cheeks, and I tried everything I could find to see if it would help.





The only thing that worked was Aveeno balancing bar soap on my face, and moisturizing with a special lotion - DML. I got it from my dermatologist. You can get it from a drug store, but you'll have to have them order it for you. It's rather expensive, but it is the best lotion ever.





It took about 2 weeks to clear up.
Reply:When you have sensitive skin you have to be careful about the skin products you use, because as you have experienced some ingredients can really do a number on it.

Japanese skin care?

I read in an article about Japanese make-up that Japanese women cleanse their faces with oils rather than soaps and can use up to nine skin care products each morning. I was just wondering if anyone knew what kind of oils they use. What kind of cleasing routine do they have? Japanese women have beautiful skin. I know that it's partly because of their genes but I'm just a little curious. I asked this yesterday but didn't get a lot of feedback.

Skin care product caused reaction on face?
Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid should never be used together. You need to choose one or the other. You may be having a reaction to one specific product or it may be a combination of all of them. Use just one product type at a time. If you want to use a cleanser, toner and acne medication together, choose them from the same product line. They are designed to be used together. I would maybe use a basic non-acne cleaner until the redness and dryness goes away. Try something gentle like Neutrogena or Cetephil. I would also use a moisturizer within the same line for now. Hope this helps.
Reply:I agree with Ms. Flawless. I had many adverse reactions to facial products with harsh chemicals. I went natural in my face products. I've tried Aubrey Organics with I loved, but am trying Burt's Bees now as I wanted a change. I have also discovered that my face is allergic to benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid dries out my face. So the natural products were a perfect match. Try products that are all paraben, fragrance, sodium laureth, and perservative free - these are the best for our sensitive skin. For red/ dry patches dab a cotten ball with organic sweet almond oil (found at health food stores for not that much money) and blot on the area over night. I wouldn't suggest doing that during the day as your face might look oily.

Any suggestions for skin care?

I'm going to a wedding in two weeks and haven't seen these people forever. I want my skin to look it's absolute best. I kind of have oily skin especially on my nose, cheek bones, and forehead. I also have black heads on my nose and cheek bones. I get small pimples every now. Any suggestions to make my skin look good? I have heard about steaming the face to open pours. I would appreciate any advice. Even though it means any recommendations for skin care products or just a at home treatment. Thank you.l

Any suggestions for skin care?
Mary Kay consultant, Dermatologist, that way u aren't getting a rash from some awful remedy from these off the wall people that might suggest put some kind of crap on your skin then u end up in a worse seen it's always best to go with the pro's. on that one yes you can steam the face but you have towash it then put ice cold water back on the skin to close the pours so that dirt and germs don't sneak back and make those ugly blemishish on youre face. also try to eat more fruits, veggies and lots of water, teas, and smoothies put some vitiamins garlic,omega 3. A good diet and vitiamins, exersise, and a good specialist will all help
Reply:TRY THE PROACTIV LINE... especially their refining mask.. if anything,, the mask has been godsent to my entire family..


tip: every other night,, rub light amount over trouble areas and when you wake up,, exfoliate with St.Ives apricot scrub.


let me know if it works, Report It

Reply:Don't smoke, drink, or get too much sun. Over time, these will make your skin look horrible. (Tanning beds count as sun, so you should avoid them.)
Reply:I have always been happy with Mary Kay. I am not a rep, just a satisfied customer. I haven't found anything else that works as well. They also do free makeovers which might also be fun.
Reply:Exfoliate, Cleanser, Sun Screen and drinking water is some of your most common methods.





There's a reason that their the most common ways, they work.


So find a nice brand of all listed above and knock em' out when you step in the door.





Congrats to your friend, and i hope you look fabulous!
Reply:I also have oily skin and my favorite treatment is Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask. It is available here (AZ) at Walgreens.





Clean and Clear makes a powder that is specifically to absorb oil, it is with the acne products and the powder is actually blue. It works well, but only apply it to the oily portions of your skin.





You might also want to try, for the day of the wedding, a mattefier. I used to use one from Origins that worked wonders at keeping my face oil free for hours.
Reply:SK II product is the best and can see the result
Reply:First start drinking 8-10 glasses of water every day! Before you go to bed at night, wash your face with good cleanser for oily skin. Wipe it down with an astringent and moisturize with a product for oily skin. In the morning, give your face a good cleaning and use a face scrubber to lightly scrub the face in thse oily and blackhead areas. Rinse with cool water about ten times and use the moistuizer. On the weekend, apply a mask for oily skin. Use a topical product for those pimples.

Reply:Im sorry to say but acne is usually a hormonal problem, too much of one hormone, nothing bad just an imbalance, thats why the contraceptive pill is usually perscribed. your skin would clear up well %26amp; u could use whatever skin care u wish. also check ur diet too when u have acne, remember with ur skin its not what u put on ur skin it iswhat is in ur skin, the skin is the biggest organ of the body which protects all internal organs, so if ur insides are unbalanced it will show in ur skin.

Products for sensitive skin?

I'm looking for skin care products - specifically, toner, foundation and concealer - that I can use on my face though I have sensitive skin (I have eczema). Please name some widely available brands since I don't have access to most of the brands in the US. If you could provide the pH of the products that would be great too. Thanks.

Products for sensitive skin?
BIOELEMENTS. it's sold world wide. they have a cosmecuticle line that works great for sensitive skin like eczema. it works like a makeup and it's good for your skin.
Reply:Weather its a tonner or make-up ALWAYS go for simple ingredient!


Products with too much ingredient is a big NO.


It confuses the skin espasially sensitive skin.


I'm not saying go for a total cheapey, but try one with just a few simple ingredient, while saving your-self a couple pounds or dollers if you live in the u.s lol.

You can get it from QVC.com or Sephora...

Reply:Ninjaaa, your search is over. The products found at aularale.com/7002 are all for sensitive skin and they ship just about anywhere.
Reply:Mineral makeup is best, it's very natural, has awesome wear-ability, is non-cosmogenic, and is oil free, but please think twice before using Bare Minerals (aka Bare Escentuals)! There products contain bismuth which is NOT a healthy mineral and is NOT good for ultra sensitive skin! It resembles arsenic!!! I used this makeup not knowing this fact and it caused me a very bad allergic reaction!





Bismuth (IPA: [ˈbɪzməθ]) is a chemical element that has the symbol Bi and atomic number 83. This heavy, brittle, white crystalline trivalent poor metal has a pink tinge and chemically resembles arsenic and antimony.





I found this makeup and have been using it for 2 years now! It's wonderful! They have 17 foundation colors (way more then the competitors so one is sure to blend and cover your skin flawlessly!) and 5 different finishing powders, choose the one for you skin type! It really works well!





Plus they offer free shipping to the Continental US!

Ideas for new skin care for over age 40?

I've just used a hodge podge of skin care products over the years. I'm looking to go with a particular line but prefer it not be extremely expensive. I have normal skin, large pores, some wrinkles near eyes, neck and lips but otherwise pretty healthy skin.





Also have blood vessels that stand out over my cheekbones just at the outside corner my eyes. Any ideas on how to cover these up!

Reply:First of all, it's important that you take care of your skin on a daily/weekly basis as follows...





~DAILY/WEEKLY SKINCARE~


-You will need: Cleanser, Toner (or Astringent), Cotton Balls, Moisturizer, Mask (or Masque), Extractor (found at most beauty supply stores), and either a facial steamer or hand towel for steaming.





~Recommended Products (from Neutrogena)*


It's best that you stick with ONE product line formulated for your skin type.





Combination Skin - (2 or more of these conditions: dry, oily, sensitive, breakouts, etc.) Fresh Foaming Cleanser, Alcohol-Free Toner, Oil-Free Moisture for Combination Skin, Deep Clean Gentle Scrub, Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask (for Oily and/or blemish-prone areas) , %26amp; Hydrating Facial Cloth Mask (for Dry areas, www.neutrogena.com/Content_79.asp)





*see this link: http://www.neutrogena.com/face.asp?mainv... click on cleansers, toners, moisturizers, %26amp; treatments to view the products





-Morning and night (before going to bed): cleanse, tone, and moisturize. If you have clogged pores, whiteheads and blackheads, then 2-3 times a week include steaming (in this order: cleanse, tone, steam, tone, moisturize).





-Once a week: cleanse, tone, steam, exfoliate, tone, *extractions, tone, mask, tone, moisturize. *IF NEEDED, for blackheads, pimples, etc, Don't begin doing extractions until you have been following all of the other steps for at least 2 to 3 weeks, so that the steaming will have caused any tough blemishes to begin to soften.





-How to: *


Cleanse -use a small amount and lather with water, apply using circular motions all over face and neck, repeat if you have makeup on


Tone - Squeeze a small amount onto the cottonball and wipe all over face and neck


Steam - for 10-15 minutes, using one of these methods: facial steamer, hold your face 3-5 inches above steaming water, or drape a hot towel over your face (leaving your nostrils and/or mouth exposed)


Exfoliate - follow the same steps as in cleansing, but don't repeat


Extractions - place the hoop (or eye) over the blemish (or blackhead) so that the blemish is in the center of the hoop, apply slight pressure and use rocking and rolling movements all around the blemish (don't use so much pressure that you create indentions or bruises on your skin), if and when the blockage comes out of the pore, wipe away with a cottonball that has been dampened with toner


Mask - apply mask evenly on face and neck, leave for 10-15 minutes, remove by draping a hot towel over your face, then wiping away - if it begins to sting or burn intensely before 10-15 minutes has passed remove and consider using a milder mask


Moisturize - apply a small amount on face an neck and massage until it's absorbed


*In all of these steps, always avoid the eye area.








Vitamins, Minerals, Diet, %26amp; Exercise


Each day, take a multivitamin, drink plenty of water, and try to maintain a fairly healthy diet and exercise routine. Also see this site about vitamins and the skin: http://www.prevention.com/article/0,5778... If you take any of these in addition to your daily multivitamin, be sure not to take more than the recommended dosages.

Obagi Skin care?

Has anyone used Obagi skin care products with Rosacea? How has it helped? Would you recomend it?

Obagi Skin care?
Yes, I love Obagi products. I've used them for 6 years with great results. I also have rosacea and in the beginning it did make the skin more irritated, but the results are well worth it in the long run.





Obagi products increase skin cell renewal cycle, thickens collagen, smooths skin texture, evens skin tone and removes unwanted pigmentation, as well as reducing excess oil and increasing hydration. It leaves your skin looking glowing, smooth and healthy. HTH : )


Skin care order?

in what order are u supposed to appply skin care products ... which one goes first the cleanser the pore refiner the mosterizer .. in what order thanx =]

Skin care order?
Not sure about the pore refiner, but you apply cleanser, toner and moisturizer, I would apply the refiner before the moisturizer (maybe even before your toner). I've always been lead to believe the moisturizer should be the last thing on your face before makeup?!


Cleanser, toner, moisturizer is my daily package.
Reply:dont know how many things you got but it goes like this





cleanser, toner, moisturizer, pore refiner
Reply:their is no such thing as a pore refiner you cant change the size of your pores thats crap. Pore size is genetic.





However you probably mean a toner or a tonic. A pore refiner is just a toner which just gets rid of any extra dirt. You can make your pores less noticeble with a glycolic acid cream.





the order you should do it in is....


cleanse, tone(with a cotton swab wipe away from the center of your face), moisturize.





if your going to exfoliate do that between the cleanse and tone. Rinse your face off good after each step....except the moisturizer.


Then follow with a primer or other make up.
Reply:heres my skin care regimen:





1. I wash my face with Neutragena Rapid Clear fash wash. It is awesome when it comes to keeping blemishes away (ive used it for five years now and its wonderful)...$6 at walmart...


2. Exfoliate only once a week that way it doesnt make your skin red and or blotchy looking. I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub $4 at walmart.


3. Moisturize - i only do this if my skin is dry because my skin is kind of oily so i dont want to over do it too much.


4. Drink tons of water to keep your skin hydrated...and i no longer drink pop and i have seen a BIG difference in my skin and weight since i quit drinking pop.





Good luck!
Reply:Wash - (Facial Scrub to exfoliate just 2-3 times a week) - Toner - Facial Serum - Day or Night Crème - Eye Crème. Good luck!
Reply:Skin care products go on from thinest to thickest. Cleanser, serums, moisturizers. So you would cleanse, moisturizer and then the pore refiner. Just know that a pore refiner is just a product that makes the APPEARANCE of the pore seem smaller by filling them in. You can't change the size of your pores just like you can't get rid of wrinkles and sagging with a skincare cream. Only surgery will take care of that. HTH
Reply:I exfoliate, cleanse, use toner and then moisturizer
Reply:Hello,





1. Cleanser


2. Pore fefiner and toner are just about the same


3. Moisturizer

Reply:Acnezine treatment for your acne should be accompanied by a healthy skin care routine.





Wash the affected area twice a day with mild soap. Use soap such as Dove, or one that contains benzoyl peroxide, such as Oxy-5. Wash as often necessary to keep the area clean. Do not scrub.





Shampoo the hair regularly.





Keep long hair off the face and shoulders and wash it daily.





Avoid shaving as much as possible; while shaving take care to avoid nicking the pimples.





Use a fresh shaving blade to minimize the chance of spreading the infection.





Avoid use of make-up or cosmetics in areas prone to acne. If you have to wear make-up, use only the hypoallergenic or fragrance free kind.





Don't pop, pick, scratch, or squeeze your pimples. This may cause infection and scarring.





You may use an over-the-counter treatment that contain substances such as benzoyl peroxide (gel or cream) or salicyclic acid. Start with the lowest strength and apply once a day about half an hour after washing. Never use more than 5 percent strength without consulting a physician.





Food and Nutrition Recommendations for Acne:Some doctors believe that acne is not a food related problem. Some alternate practitioners use diet as a basis for their treatment of acne. They recommend that acne patients should eat foods high in beta-carotene, such as carrots, pumpkin, cantaloupe and other yellow-orange fruits and vegetables. They should also avoid fatty foods. Acnezine controls the oil secretion in your body to protect your skin from getting acne prone.





Vitamin Therapy for Acne:Nutritionists generally suggest:Chromium supplements - Chromium helps boosts the body's ability to break down glucose.Vitamin A - reduces sebum and keratin production. (Caution: taking mega doses of Vitamin A can cause headaches, fatigue, muscle and joint pain and other side effects. Consult a qualified practitioner before taking mega supplements).Vitamin E - an antioxidant (200 to 400 IU a day).Vitamin B-6 50 mg per day. This vitamin aids in the metabolism of hormones and supports the function of Acnezine as well.





Note: People should not try to medicate themselves or others with any of the methods referred to here without the guidance of a qualified practitioner who is thoroughly familiar with both the remedies and the individual’s medical status. Acnezine is an antioxidant, natural product without any side effect that reduces acne.

Skin Care for Hairless Chinese Crested?

I just got a Hairless Chinese Crested, can you recommend a good line of skin care products for this breed?

Skin Care for Hairless Chinese Crested?
what you need will depend on your dog's skin. Some only need mild shampoos to keep the skin clean, and some have bad skin and need specialized antibacterial shampoo from the vet.





I have several different products that I used on my crested, depending on his skin condition.. if his skin is more broken out, I will use a gentle facial cleanser (like what you'd use for your own face).. if his skin is dry, I use a moisturizing shampoo.





I also use salt and sugar scrubs to exfoliate the skin, mint julep mask when his skin is broken out.





for lotions, I have used emu oil lotion that I got off ebay, and also curel ultra healing, olay quench and eucerin.





There is a lady who has made a skin care line for the crested.. if your crested has fair/decent skin with minor blemishes, I'd highly reccommend it. Email alleyoopsstuff@aol.com

Reply:It can take some trial and error to find out what works best for your CC. Also if its a puppy, it may be going thru that "teenage" breakout stage. A gentle facial cleanser will help.. and most importantly.. DONT PICK! Report It

Reply:What did the breeder recommend? What has your research recommended? What does your vet recommend? I assume you did research on this breed prior to purchasing.
Reply:I use baby oil on my hairless dogs and puppies. You do have to be sure to keep them clean because they get sticky.


Skin Care help?

Lately, I have been breaking out a lot ( mostly before and during my period). Does anybody know any really good skin care products or can share their regime with me. I need to clear up before back to school!

Skin Care help?
The products you are using, are they salycic acid or benzolyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Almost all washes have it. They try finding a face lotion with it in it. Clean and clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face. I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working!


Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salysic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying fo rme! Good luck!
Reply:most women do break out around their period. it has to do w/ hormones, not necessarily your regime. but i do recommend using all natural products to wash %26amp; moisturize with. chemicals which are found in commercial products are not good for the skin especially your face's sensitive skin. i love using burt's bees products!
Reply:Cut back on the sugar, and if you have oily skin use a good facewash, and follow up with an astringent that should do the trick if you do that every morning and night until school starts.
Reply:Wash your face twice a day with cetaphil. It works.
Reply:try to relax and drink plenty of h20 eight glasses a DAY! wah ur face in a acne wash or try clean and clear daily pore cleanser and apply a light moisturizer like ponds( the little jar) get it at any drug store. Good luck.
Reply:ProActiv...I know all the cheesy celebs endorse the product but I tried everything. Prescription antibiotics, everything over the counter, Retin-A, even Accutane. ProActiv was the only thing that cleared up my acne and it was fast--just two weeks and I had clear skin. It may be more expensive than things you can buy at Wal-Mart or a drugstore, but it is really worth it because it truly works!
Reply:proActive alwayz helps but it will not work that fast
Reply:Check out Continuously Clear products by Seriesse! They work on all skin types and combine the best FDA approved medications - Salicylic Acid (cleanser) and Benzoyl Peroxide (daytime treatment) - with natural ingredients known for their soothing and hydrating properties. You can order the products individually, but the best deal is the 5 piece set that includes an oral skin supplement called Clear Skin that helps address the internal stressors that wreak havoc on your skin. Watch the short before and after video diary of a fellow acne sufferer on www.myseriesse.com/sbruck and see what you think. Good-luck.
Reply:Mary Kay has a great product called Velocity. Velocity is for younger skin and is great for helping with breakouts. Having great skin is easy with one product that works like three. It deep cleans your face, tones to refresh and exfoliates. This lightweight moisturizer softens skin while controlling excess oil on the face. It's just right for blemish-prone skin. It also contains a lighter version of the Velocity® fragrance. Velocity is also sold at a lower price than the TimeWise Mary Kay products. You can also get Mary Kay’s Acne Treatment Gel for spot treatment of acne. For the entire Velocity Set with the Acne Treatment Get it cost about $29.00.

I was skeptical because I was not looking for oceans of lotions to work on my face. I don't have time for that kind of aggravation. Too many other skin care treatments just did not work for me. I wanted something that would reduce my pores, lighten the appearance of my dark circles and blemishes, soften the texture of my skin and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles that are age telling. I was pleasantly surprised this product did all of them.


Skin care product caused reaction on face?

it's small, but red and dry. it was a new facial cleanser. i have sensitive skin. the ingredients in the products were salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. the area on my left cheek is small, red, and dry. today is the second day that i stopped using the products. in the mean time, i am putting aveeno ultra calming daily moisturizer on it to make it go away? is this gonna work? has anybody ever had a similar reaction to any face products like this? if so, what did you do or put on it to make it go away. I'm nervous, I just want it to go away. It doesn't itch, it's just red and dry. It was 3 products altogether, cleanser, toner, and than a benzoyl peroxide treatment lotion.

Skin care product caused reaction on face?
Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid should never be used together. You need to choose one or the other. You may be having a reaction to one specific product or it may be a combination of all of them. Use just one product type at a time. If you want to use a cleanser, toner and acne medication together, choose them from the same product line. They are designed to be used together. I would maybe use a basic non-acne cleaner until the redness and dryness goes away. Try something gentle like Neutrogena or Cetephil. I would also use a moisturizer within the same line for now. Hope this helps.
Reply:I agree with Ms. Flawless. I had many adverse reactions to facial products with harsh chemicals. I went natural in my face products. I've tried Aubrey Organics with I loved, but am trying Burt's Bees now as I wanted a change. I have also discovered that my face is allergic to benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid dries out my face. So the natural products were a perfect match. Try products that are all paraben, fragrance, sodium laureth, and perservative free - these are the best for our sensitive skin. For red/ dry patches dab a cotten ball with organic sweet almond oil (found at health food stores for not that much money) and blot on the area over night. I wouldn't suggest doing that during the day as your face might look oily.

Any suggestions for skin care?

I'm going to a wedding in two weeks and haven't seen these people forever. I want my skin to look it's absolute best. I kind of have oily skin especially on my nose, cheek bones, and forehead. I also have black heads on my nose and cheek bones. I get small pimples every now. Any suggestions to make my skin look good? I have heard about steaming the face to open pours. I would appreciate any advice. Even though it means any recommendations for skin care products or just a at home treatment. Thank you.l

Any suggestions for skin care?
Mary Kay consultant, Dermatologist, that way u aren't getting a rash from some awful remedy from these off the wall people that might suggest put some kind of crap on your skin then u end up in a worse seen it's always best to go with the pro's. on that one yes you can steam the face but you have towash it then put ice cold water back on the skin to close the pours so that dirt and germs don't sneak back and make those ugly blemishish on youre face. also try to eat more fruits, veggies and lots of water, teas, and smoothies put some vitiamins garlic,omega 3. A good diet and vitiamins, exersise, and a good specialist will all help
Reply:TRY THE PROACTIV LINE... especially their refining mask.. if anything,, the mask has been godsent to my entire family..


tip: every other night,, rub light amount over trouble areas and when you wake up,, exfoliate with St.Ives apricot scrub.


let me know if it works, Report It

Reply:Don't smoke, drink, or get too much sun. Over time, these will make your skin look horrible. (Tanning beds count as sun, so you should avoid them.)
Reply:I have always been happy with Mary Kay. I am not a rep, just a satisfied customer. I haven't found anything else that works as well. They also do free makeovers which might also be fun.
Reply:Exfoliate, Cleanser, Sun Screen and drinking water is some of your most common methods.





There's a reason that their the most common ways, they work.


So find a nice brand of all listed above and knock em' out when you step in the door.





Congrats to your friend, and i hope you look fabulous!
Reply:I also have oily skin and my favorite treatment is Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask. It is available here (AZ) at Walgreens.





Clean and Clear makes a powder that is specifically to absorb oil, it is with the acne products and the powder is actually blue. It works well, but only apply it to the oily portions of your skin.





You might also want to try, for the day of the wedding, a mattefier. I used to use one from Origins that worked wonders at keeping my face oil free for hours.
Reply:SK II product is the best and can see the result
Reply:First start drinking 8-10 glasses of water every day! Before you go to bed at night, wash your face with good cleanser for oily skin. Wipe it down with an astringent and moisturize with a product for oily skin. In the morning, give your face a good cleaning and use a face scrubber to lightly scrub the face in thse oily and blackhead areas. Rinse with cool water about ten times and use the moistuizer. On the weekend, apply a mask for oily skin. Use a topical product for those pimples.
