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!

How do you tell what your skin type is? Does it have to do with how much acne you have, if so I only have a few pimples and they tend to be around my nose and forehead.

Acne runs in the family. My dad said he had just as much acne as i had when he was my age, which is 13. And I have a LOT of acne. It's mostly around my mouth, in between my eyes and on my forehead. Right now, I probably have about 15 pimples right now. I use the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment. It doesn't work very well. What should I do?




Hey babe,

You might want to try a strong acne medication like Proactiv.

in this article it says all the good products but i am not sure wich one my face has pimples and it part oily part dry so wich one is the good one and that is worth the try and is there an ingredient to make a homemade face cream like tooth paste with soap or something that will do the job for my face
P.S. i think my face cream budget that i can ask my mom for is about $19 dollars




Hey babe,

You can try some homemade scrubs to help keep your skin in good condition (just look around the site for a few good ones) but if you want to get rid of acne you probably want to try a real product. If your face is dry and oily at the same time, I would suggest using one for "normal" skin to split the difference.

Play up your frock. Instead of pairing flats or pumps with that summer dress, try adding some edgy boots or sporty sneakers.
