Find the PERFECT Face Wash and Moisturizer for your Skin

 
Searching for great products to revamp your skin care routine? Let's be honest. It's a jungle out there! How can you be sure the face wash and moisturizer you're using is the BEST stuff for your skin? We've got the 411 on scoring the perf products

If your skin is...OILY

If you're a super shiny sistah, there are some specific things you need to look for when you go skincare shopping. Number one is finding a cleanser and moisturizer that are oil-free. Deep cleansing is also important to really get down into those pores and xinay all that excess oil.
 
Clean & Clear Deep Action Cream Cleanser, $6, drugstore.com

The best moisturizers for you are often a little pricey, but def worth the extra dollars in the long run. Regular moisturizers will leave you feeling even more greasy, so think of it as an investment!
 
Ahava Matifying Moisturizer for Oily Skin, $26, folica.com
 
If your skin is...DRY AND SENSITIVE

Dry and sensitive skin usually go together. To prevent irritating those easily-chapped cheeks, don't use products that are loaded with fragrances or chemicals.
 
Vickery & Clark Facial Cleanser for Dry Skin, $5, cvs.com

It's also ultra important to look for a facial cleanser that not only cleans, but moisturizes. The extra hydration will do your parched skin wonders. Look for ingredients like shea butter or aloe.
 
Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream for Dry Sensitive Skin, $14, walgreens.com

If your skin is...ACNE PRONE

Hear yourself saying "Uh, oh...acne!" every time you look in the mirror? Pimple-prone girlies have to be especially picky when choosing skincare products. The secret ingredient that you need most? Salicylic acid. And, don't forget...deep cleansing products also zap zits.
 
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment, $5, drugstore.com,

Remember – don't go for a product that will over-dry, irritate your skin or clog your pores. Your best bet is to shop around for stuff that's oil-free and water-based.


Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer, $15, target.com

If your skin is...NORMAL or COMBINATION

Is your skin dry in some places and oily in others? You've got combination skin, chica. Or are you somewhere between greasy 'n' dry? If so, you've got normal skin. Combination and normal skinned sistahs have the same care routine.
 
Earth Science Clarifying Facial Wash, $7, iherb.com

Look for a face wash that won't be too harsh on your skin, but will effectively get rid of excess oil. You want something oil-free (so it won't make you greasy) and moisturizing (so you won't get all dried out). For a moisturizer, look for products with vitamins and nutrient. A li'l SPF is always as great bonus!
 
Olay Active Hydrating Cream Original, $7, cvs.com

MOD-Next Friday is my school spring dance. It has a Hollywood/red carpet theme. I am short and very curvy (overweight), I have blue eyes, a round face and long thick brown hair. What makeup should I wear and how should I style my hair? What clothes should I wear? Also I want my crush to come with me but I don't know if he likes me and he also says dances are boring and that he already has a girlfriend, but I want him to come at least so I can flirt with him, but how can I ask him out, like, on a date? Please help!

 

Babe, wear a red dress that hugs your lovely curves. Keep your hair curly and tie some back with a barret and do not flirt with your crush. YOu do not want to be the other woman since it makes you look bad.<3 Sherryn D.

MOD i dont do much with make up or anything in fact i dont wear anymake up for like a week i put on eye liner and everyday people flipped on me omg YOUR wearing makeup!! i mean a few girls said ilooked really pretty n all but i hate when they do that to me my sister freaks out on me too i feel so blan and i want myself to get a new look n all i mean my hair i can never think of doing anythign with that either...any suggestions about both of these?

 

 

 

Hey girlie,

 

 

Any time anyone changes their look ppl notice, so if you want a mini makeover ppl will take notice to it.  With your hair try cutting out a few pics of celebs you think have great cuts and bring them into the salon.  The hairdresser will be able to design a cut that's right for you.  With makeup stick to the basics and keep it neutral.  Try some blush, lip gloss and a little mascara.  You can make a stop by the beauty counter in your local dept store and the sales woman can teach you what colors work for you and how to apply them all for free.

Neutrogena has a new grapefruit scent oil-free acne wash out, and that works really well for breakout prone skin. It makes your face really soft, too!
God Bless,
Megan
