Face Cleanser?

Does anyone have any recommendations on a good face cleanser that works the best but does the least damage?

I know each person has different types of skin but basically I have trouble cleaning the pours on my nose and just general cleansing of the rest of my face before I apply after shave and it seals everything up...

Isn't there a group for stuff like this? I tried to find it this morning but to no avail.
I fail at the search function.

thnx.

OK, to make things more interesting;

If you like your face, pimp it and tell what you use if anything to keep it ship shape:


I use regular liquid hand soap, but obviously I wouldn't be asking if it worked very well.

*If any of this sound stupid I blame Russia for making Stolichnaya Vanil

Daily Face Wash

Burt's Bees Tomato Soap is the shit. Too bad I'm out of it and I'm using some crap that made my face break out. Well, it was either that or the fact that I buried my face in a bowl full of Jello shots on Saturday.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleanser. You don't want anything too harsh (which Clearasil is). Honestly, the Aveeno is the best cleanser I have ever, ever used. We do talk about these things in the Makeup - Beauty group. Don't be scared off by its girliness. If you want to hear the Aveeno praises, go to this thread!

It totally is! I agree 100% Yep, pick this up pronto! I use it daily and my face doesn't break out half as bad as it used to.

im using that too!
also skinceauticals simply clean is awsome for oily skin, but is also $28 a pop.

Or was it Friiiiiiday?

Yeah, but thats obvious. I'm looking for those hidden secret things that beautiful people use. The kind of people who you are jealous of their life.

umm

Like Scopitone...

..I think I've said too much *shifty eyes*

also this group has some threads about skincare

dove foaming face wash is the best thing eva

Oooh that sounds good, I use the aveeno bath (oatmeal bath thingy) when I have an allergic reaction (OT: I'm allergic to too much acetaminophen) and get hives on my legs. I had no idea they made other stuff!

I like Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Liquid soap. Leaves your face all icy and clean feeling.

I don't really have oily skin anymore, drinking water and cutting sugar, and greasy food out of my diet did most of that. And not really much acne bacteria on my face either, just hard to clean pores.
Do you find it helps with that general problem?

I can look too close in the mirror and see the dirt in my pores, this is either normal or I have some sort of facial OCD/neurosis

Well, the stuff works. Its about $4.

Next time, I will avoid helping you.

You might be slightly OCD about it. I almost never break out, but i feel like the Tomato soap leaves my face feeling fresher. I can't really explain why though. As far as clean....I've never looked deeply enough into my pores to see if they are dirty.

saint ives apricot cleanser in oil and blackhead contorl formula....works wonders

and i cant spell

Sorry if that sounded snarky or anything on my part.

Paul Mitchel (sp?) tea tree shampoo... sounds kind of weird, but it works DAMNED good. When I was like 16 I had bad acne, tried everything from clearasil to witch hazel, and umpteen different prescription creams and pills and things, until finally a hair stylist recommended I tried it. Acne cleared up within weeks.

Everyone generally thinks I'm nuts when I tell them this, but it worked for me, and I still use it when I can find it.

Ack - the St Ives Apricot Cleanser is really bad for your skin. It literally tears it up. Anything that harsh is basically just giving your face a lot of little cuts, which is really bad. Use something milder for an exfoliant (like something with oatmeal). Trust me, in the long run, your skin will be soooo much happier (and prettier and softer and healthier and...non-cut up).

I walk down to the old folks home and rub my face on those geezers bed sores. Hell, geezer sores cure most everything. I had a callus on the palm of my hand you could shave a baby with, now look at it, its all smooth and soft like a puppies smelly belly.

I use lots of Lush products.
Im super allergic to nearly all skin care products and lush is the only stuff that wont destroy my skin.

Lots of nice things here

We use this stuff and love it - Neutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash 60 Second Mask Scrub

he he he ....... smelly belly
well..... at least it's that awesome fuzzy puppy smell
as for the bedsores.....




I'll just leave that one alone
