Nix dry skin with our fave cleansers

Sure, winter weather is good for sipping hot chocolate and readying by the fire, but it’s also full-on dry skin season. We found fab products to scrub up with that’ll keep your skin hydrated. Finally! No more winter flakes, scales or itchiness.

Choose a cream-based facial cleanser that’s formulated for sensitive skin to remove dirt while not over-drying your face. Follow with your fave moistutrizing lotion (with SPF!). Got really dry skin? Try washing with face wash only before bed.
 
 
We’re big fans of a gentle exfoliator, especially ‘cause sometimes salt-based ones can dry ya out. It’ll gently buff off dead skin and leave behind a major amount of moisture.

Harsh truth: showering under scorching water zaps your skin of its natural moisture. The trick? Turn the temp down to something that’s more warm than scalding, and pick a body wash that’s stacked with hydrators, like jojoba and sweet almond oil.

During winter months, avoiding the soap is key. Lotion-inspired body washes are a much better pick. This one has three hydrating butters (mango, cocoa and shea) to leave your skin glowing.

Mod Mod HI Smile so i want to try one of Neutrogena Oil-Free acne products. There is a neutrogena Oil-Free acne cream cleanser salicylic acid acne treatment, Neutrogena Oil-Free acne wash daily scrub, and a neutrogena Oil-Free acne wash cleansing cloths. What one do you think i should try??? Thanks so much! Smile

 

 

Hey girl. I would go for the cream cleanser, scrubs can be harsh on skin and cleansing cloths are very similar to cleasers, but more expense usually.

MOD MOD MOD so in the summer i get super tan and my skin seems to glow, but in the winter i get really pale and my skin seems dull and almost grey! Are there any tricks to make my skin glowing again without using a bunch of makeup or tanners? thanks!

 

Hey girl!  Sometimes skin in the winter looks dull because of dry skin.  Exfoliate once or twice a week, and make sure you use moisturizer!  This article has some other great winter skin tips:  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/01/14/winter-skin-and-hair-tips.aspx.  If you want to add some glow, a little blush is a good way to go.  You could also use bronzer (just dust it on the spots where the sun would hit, like your cheeks, forehead, and nose).  xoxo

I have dry skin that is WWWWAAAAAAAYYYYY red mostly on my nose and I need to know what to cover it with. Tinted moisterizers aren't covering very well so do you have a foundation that you would recommend?
So you know I am 14 and I don't mind investing in my skin so expensive is fine for me.
Thanks so much!
-Sisi




Hey girl, I'd suggest washing your face with a cleanser and moisturizing it (especially that area) after with a gentle moisturizer (try Aveeno or Purpose). From there, use foundation to cover that area and blend it in with the rest of your skin.

What do you think?? 2_-My lips are always soo dry the lip stuff I always use is Nivea - a Kiss of Moisture. It's the stuff I have found that works good. But I havn't tried too many things, do have any suggestions?? Make sure to reply to both comments, 1&2!!!! THANKS!!! --Goldie Smile

 

Hey girl, fab idea!  You should check out this article on "5 Perfect Lip Balms":  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/11/11/five-perfect-lip-balms.aspx.  If you've got a lip product that you heart already, that's great.  But this will give you some others to try if you're interested! Smile

MOD MOD MOD I'm wearing a light pink and black dress to my winter ball. It's in a few weeks. What should I do to prepare my skin so it looks really great? And what kind of makeup should I wear? It can't be too much because I don't ever wear makeup, but i want to that night. Thanks, MOD!

 

Hey girl!  The important thing is to just take care of your skin like always so it looks fab.  Check out this article for tips for a healthy complexion:  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/03/12/healthy-complexion-tips.aspx. As for make-up, if you don't wear it a lot, it's best to keep it simple.  Lip gloss and mascara are easy ways to glam up your look without being too much.  You could also try a natural look that's easy to put together, like this:  http://www.girlslife.com/post/2010/10/10/naturally-pretty-makeup.aspx.  xoxo

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD thanks for the advice, the two people i told one doesnt even go to our school adn the other doesnt talk to the girl that wrote the note... i cant ignore her b/c i have 3 classes with her and she sits near me in all 3. Before this happened, I've been feeling like she didnt like me and kind of expected it but it was really shocking... thanks though

 

Hey girl, thanks for the update.  You definitely don't have to ignore her completely.  In fact, it would probably be best to still be friendly and polite to her at school, just like everyone else.  But if you feel like she's not a true friend, devote your time and energies (like who you hang out with on the weekends or after school) to friends who won't talk behind your back.  xoxo

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD please help... today at lunch, my super close friend left to go to the main office and she told me to watch her stuff. when she left, a paper fell out of her binder. as i picked it up, it said OMG *insert my name here* is so !@#$%^& clingy and sssooo annoying and some other hurtful stuff. i never thought that she would be a person like that b/c she is always super duper nice and funny & she was one of my first friends in hs (we're freshmen), i told my bffs and they couldnt believe it either... what should i do? if i confront her, she would probably think that i took it from her bag/binder or cuss me out/turn others against me... please give me some tips

 

Hey girl, First off, I wouldn't tell any other friends about what you saw.  I know it was probably shocking, but you don't want to make it worse by spreading it around.  I know this has to be such a tough situation, but you have to listen to your heart.  I obviously don't know her and didn't see it myself, so I can't say for sure.  It could be that she was frustrated with someone and just vented it out on paper.  But if you think it's a pattern of her not being a very nice person, then you may want to distance yourself from her.  If you want to keep being friends, you may have to either let it go (untill you find out anything else that makes you concerned), or come clean with her and ask her about it.  She may be mad, but if she's a true friend, hopefully you two will work it out.  xoxo

What colors should I wear with it. Plz respond asap. Oh P.s i have brown eyes and brown hair. idk if that will helpSmile

 

Hey girl!  Ooh, that sounds so cute - I heart bold fashion statements!  It depends on what color they are.  For example, if they have blue or green in them, you could wear a dress or sweater in a matching color.  But you could also wear neutral shades, like black or grey, and let the earrings steal the show.

The greatest moisturizing AND acne cleaner is clean and clear dual action moisturizer!!!! I use it every day and needless to say its my acne time. I started using it when I had a dry spot and it is the best thing I have ever used! I think it is 4-5 dollars... It is oil free, doesnt clog pores, prevents future pimples, and gets rid of pimples that you have now... all you need is a clean face (WITHOUT MAKEUP!) AND the moisturizer! It is great... check it out

I need to be more fit. I'm not exactly the healthiest eater or exerciser. My resolution was to be more healthier
but I never really follow it because every year I have this and it never happens. I need more breakfast, lunches, and snacks and easy exercises. Also I am scared that when I start track I will be a really slow runner. PLEASE HELP!!!!




Hey girlie,

Remind yourself that you have to start off slowly! You might feel intimidated because you aren't on par with everyone else on the team, but you have to work up to being a workout star Smile Use our Workouts and Recipes ideas (under Health + Fitness) to spice up your meals/exercises. And also, one thing that really helps me stay on track is to use a calendar and make a schedule of what times you'll work out. It's tough to stick with it, but stay confident and remember your goal. Getting healthy is the important thing!!

These cleansers are designed for the face, so they really aren't perfect for killing the germs that we pick up on our hands. There are definitely gentle hand soaps that don't dry out your skin though...try going to the drugstore and checking out the selection Smile

another question! actually 2
sorry its long
ok so theres this kid at my school who did a lot of inappropriate things to me last year.like when i wasn't paying attention he'd try and grab my boobs or slap my butt. i've already talked to the guidance conseuler and he hasn't done anything in a while but im afraid of him. hes in 2 of my classes and im constantly in fear. i feel like i have to watch my back around him or he'll do something again...what do i do?
and i think i like this guy and i think he likes me back. hes my lab partner in science and i usually rest my feet on his chair and he usually will touch my leg or something. he talks to me a lot and is really nice to me. do you think he likes me? just wonderin
thanks sooooooooooooooooooo much! sorry its long!




Hey girlie,

It's tough, but you can't let this guy steal your life from you! Since he hasn't done it in a while, try to trust that he won't do it again and remind yourself that you have support in your teachers, guidance counselor, principal, etc. If anything close to what he did before happens again, you know you'll be able to take care of it! Another way to feel more confident around him is to take up a physical hobby, like jogging or kickboxing. I don't mean you should do this so you can "defend" yourself (because starting a physical fight won't solve the problem), but you'll feel strong and confident - not scared! The other guy definitely sounds like he likes ya... just try to flirt a little more and see how he responds to that Smile Good luck!

OK so me and my mom are kinda butting heads. I've been really stressed lately. we had a fight a couple of weeks ago and she mocks the things that I've said. i don't think she thinks i was being serious. and yesterday we were watching football and she was screaming at the TV and i said not rudely mom could you stop screaming? and she exploded she started yelling at me and took my phone and iPod away. everything i do i feel like i get in trouble for. and i always feel like its all on my shoulders. its really stressing me out and i think its affecting my health. i cant fall asleep until really late anymore and i cant focus. im that stressed. im at a loss at what to do. please help!
thanks! Smile




Hey girlie,

The best thing to do is to write a letter to mom about what's been going on. Don't blame her - she probably felt disrespected when she took your iPod/phone away, and she probably doesn't realize that mocking you affects you so bad. She could also have something else going on in her life that you don't know about, making her a little less patient lately. It isn't right, but I'm sure she doesn't realize how you're feeling. So open your heart and write an honest letter about how the fighting makes you feel and how you wish you both could get past that to have a strong, loving relationship again. Tell her you know you aren't always right and you want to be able to handle situations calmly without them always blowing up into big ordeals. She'll appreciate your honesty and I'm sure you can work through it together <3

***MOD I have two questions. I have the Clean & Clear morning burst facial is that the same as the Clean & Clear deep Action Cream Cleanser? Or should I get both? And my other question is that I got a moisturizer with SPF and I use it in the winter time but it makes my skin paler/asher because the sun isn't out as much in winter. Should I still use it everyday or only in the summertime? Thank you.




Hey girl,

You don't need both... one cleanser is plenty! You just have to decide what skin issues you really want to tackle. According to their website, the Morning Burst Facial Cleanser is perf for cleansing and exfoliating. It also reduces shine. The Deep Action Cream Cleanser is all about cleaning deep down into your pores. Both will remove makeup, dirt and oil though!

***MOD I have a friend who I think might have a problem. Whenever we watch a movie, for example we watched the Titanic on Saturday, it sorta becomes her life. That's all she'll talk about for weeks, sometimes even months; she just gets totally obsessed. I think she wishes her life was like the movie. She told me yesterday she wishes the story of Titanic would happen to her. It's starting to totally influence her, and it's been happening for a while with lots of movies, but mainly when their romance ones. It's starting to worry me. What should I do and do you think she needs help?




Hey girlie. Try talking to her about it and making sure she understands that real life is a bit different than what happens in the movies. Tell her that you don't want her to live her life in a fairytale.
