We Tried It!

WE TRIED IT: Clean Sweep

 

I’ve been on the search for a post-gym face wash for, approximately, ever. My sensitive skin freaks when anything “anti-acne” hits it...but still likes to break out occasionally. How’s that possible?

A couple weeks ago, I hit up my local Rite Aid and scoped out Pond’s Clean Sweep Cleansing and Make-up Remover Towelettes in the travel pack. They cost less than $3 bucks and I could throw the whole pack into my gym bag. Perfect!

This was one drugstore purchase that didn’t float to the bottom of my beauty bucket (yep, I keep all my potions in a pail in my bathroom). Instead, I threw them in a giant Ziploc and tossed ‘em in my gym bag.

They definitely swipe away that post-workout, “my skin is soo gross” feeling. The instructions say you don’t have to wash after using them, but that seemed a little weird (and my face felt kinda sticky).

I think the towelettes are great for girls who are super-busy, and don’t have a gym locker to hold all their beauty booty!

hey! its kinda hard when you dont go to the same school, but try talking to him on AIM or something. unless you see him on the regular basis, phone or computer is the only way to talk to him! xoxoashley

tlindz23 on 5/7/2008 1:36:52 PM

My skin doesn't have red zits or any bad breakouts, just little skin-colored bumps here and there. I'm pretty lucky. Smile

Tennisgirl93 on 5/7/2008 1:47:44 PM

Yea. I hate the feeling you get when you wash your face and it feels like it broke out even more when you just washed it. I also hate sea breeze astrigents. They make my face feel all sticky. Ugh!

I have tons of blackheads on my nose and by my nose! Do you now how to get rid of them and which cleanser to use? Also how do I keep the blackheads away afterward?
PLEASE ANSWER!!!


 


hey! look at your local drugstore for a cleanser that treats blackheads! always wash your face before you go to bed! xoxoashley

senorapantalones on 5/7/2008 2:16:12 PM

Thank you! I have extremely sensitive skin, too: it's nice to see something that WORKS without turning your face into a little red blob.

I might just check this out...

SarahTheWolfGirl on 5/7/2008 2:20:56 PM

ughhh i hate acne

beautifulbrunetteballerina on 5/7/2008 2:25:56 PM

Well, I use these wipes before bed every day to wip of my makeup, and to clean up my face. I think these are great, they really tackle my mascara, which is usually SUPER HARD to get off. To make the sticky feeling go away, just dry the soapy stuff off your face after you use it.

mistyscooby on 5/7/2008 2:50:19 PM

Mod,
Recently my face has been better, but my bacne has gotten pretty bad. The worst part is that i seem to get these little red spots on my back, even tho the zits are gone. What can i do to get rid of this mess??


 


Hey! try to use the same stuff you put on your face on your back!! also, if you play sports, sports bras trap all that sweat in there, so try to change/shower after sports! xoxoashley

grinningskullz on 5/7/2008 3:04:03 PM

DO NOT use Proactiv! Trust me, I tried it, and it didn't help. It's just really expensive, and doesn't work.

hey, me and my bff like the same guy, we promised that we wouldn't care if he asked only one of us out, and that that person can say yes. if he asks me, how should i tell her?
thanks! xoxxoxoxoxo! Smile <3 ~teardrops on my guitar


 


Hey! that is a hard situation. I think that if you are nervous to tell her if he asks you out, you should really reconsider saying yes to him at all. since you both like him, someone has to lose and you dont want that coming inbetween your friendship. talk to her about it and think about how it would feel if he asked her out and not you. xoxoashley

Hey MOD!!
I was texting this boy in my class I kinda like. He started asking me if I liked a coupla boys in my class. To all of them I said no. Then he commented about an 'item' in our jr. high. (im friends with the girls and the boy is in my class too and best friends with this boy) Then he asked if I was open- i said yes and he said he was too. He asked me what i wanted him to say and i said i don't care- and i promise i won't get mad or anything at what he says. he asked if i liked him. i said that i'd like him a lot more of he didn;t act immature at times. he said, that didnt answer my ?- yes or no. I then said, i guess i do. he didnt respond for a few minutes and i said- i'm guessing that u dont like me-rite? he said no, not really. (its a total he said, i said kinda story!! sorry.!!) I dont see why he would reallyask me this stuff if he didnt have some interest in me...and my friends say that they think he likes me. But he might be olding back because his bff isn;t too fond of me and so on.... what do u think??


 


Hey! i dont know, boys are annoying and sometimes do that! Frown xoxoashley

prettycatholicgirl11 on 5/7/2008 4:28:43 PM

hey the nuetrogena oil free skin cleanser really works well! also don't ever use somethin called acne free (it cums in a bottle usually) cuz it burns your face really easily if it happens to burn your face if u end up trying it then get a washcloth soaked in milk and saturate your face it helps pretty good! alothough if you have severe acne you can try and use it cuz it does help but just pleeeze remember the milk trick if you end up getting burned! it's some powerful stuff baby!!

there's this boy who i know who he is and i had ccd with him last year. i went to elementary school with him, but we didn't talk. i still don't talk to him because im really shy. i want to be friends with him without coming over as weird. what is the first thing i should say? I think coming right out and saying "Hi!" would be too much. i'm not so good with convo starters. How should i talk to him?


 


Talk to him about stuff that he is interested in, a funny movie you saw, or something that you talk about in class -- just general questions that you have in common

sleepalotspot on 5/7/2008 5:15:17 PM

i use biore blemish fighting ice cleanser, biore triple action astrigent, and an overnight acne cream from france (its not available here, i dont think. i got it from the lady who steams my face, zaps zits, and squeezes out blackheads.)


they work pretty good, but my face is rlly oily, so i still break out in my t-zone alot.

i have a really uneven skin tone its all red and splotchy on my nose how can i even it out without makeup? i already use toner.


Wearing a little tinted moisturizer can help because it's not quite as full-cover as foundation, but can help even out your skintone. There are also lots of products out there for red/blotchy skin -- Clinique has a whole Redness line you could check out.

Well I have several pimples on my face and I also have red and oily skin. All the rest of the girl in my grade always have pretty skin and they hardly ever get pimples. I use face wash and use concealer to cover up my pimples but it never work. Now I'm starting to think that I'm not pretty, what should I do??


You may need to find a different facial cleanser that works better with your skin. I have heard a lot of great things about Proactive.
