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.
 

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!
 
 
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.
 

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.
 

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.
 

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.



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.
 

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!

Ok so, I have normal skin i think... i'm not super sure how to tell! i just recently started breaking out, and i think its my facewash. I wash it twice a day and put toner and moisturizer on it. i use "biore 4 in 1 facial cleanser" and im afraid its not enough. I want something a little stronger but no neutrogena strong! any suggestions?!
Thx! Smile




Hey! I like St Ives apricot scrub Smile

I have a Neutrogena Wave Duo and I just recently started using it (like a week and a half ago). I never really had much acne before, just an occasional pimple and some blackheads on my chin. But now my face is breaking out all over! I'm pretty sure it's because of my Wave, but I don't know what to do! How can I do some serious skin damage control?
Thanks so much!!




Hey girl, I would stop using the Wave immediately first of all. Sometimes facial products can be far too strong and dry out your skin. As someone who goes to a dermatologist, I'll give you her advice to me: use a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil that will keep your skin clean each morning and night instead of harsher products like Neutrogena's. Since you don't get much acne, I think that's all you need. Sometimes acne products can do more harm than good (case in point: my sister once used some of my acne topical creams my dermatologist prescribed me — they were too powerful and ended up burning her skin, literally! Ouch!)
