What are some good natural skin care products?
I have acne-prone combination skin and am looking for some new products (face wash, spot treatments, moisturizers, etc.) that will clear up my acne without over-drying my skin. I have some jojoba oil and tea tree oil but I don't know how I am supposed to use them. I am looking for fairly natural topical products, not pills or harsh chemicals. General product suggestions and specific company suggestions are appreciated :)
Nighttime moisturizer for acne prone, large pores, oily/combination skin?
Are there any moisturizers for night time without mineral oil in them? I use Ponds and while it does the job and doesn't break me out, I notice my pores look bigger and congested in the T zone areas and especially on cheeks near the nose. Plus I have blackheads, so I want to help with those too. But I NEED a nighttime moisturizer for after I wash my face, it gets too tight and dry without it.
What sort of moisturizer should I use for my very dry and very sensitive skin?
I was recently prescribed to a Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser and Zania gel to treat my blackheads and slight acne. Both (the cleanser, especially) have been drying out my face IMMENSELY! My dermatologist told me that if my skin starts to dry out, take a break from the wash (peroxide cleanser) for about four days, but continue the use. I have since taken the break, continued the usage, and limited the wash to once a day, whereas whenever else I wash, I just use regular soap. My skin is still very dry to the point of peeling, but also very sensitive. I can't find a really great moisturizer that doesn't hurt, sting, or cause redness when I use it on my very dry skin. I need a moisturizer VERY badly. I have used Aveeno, Cetaphil, and St. Ives moisturizers, and all result in me rushing to the bathroom sink to relieve my face of incredible discomfort.
Does anybody know of a moisturizer that might fit my situation?
What is the best face moisturizer for my skin?
I'm 18 and I have sensitive, dry/flaky skin but some parts of it get oily. I also have blackheads and some acne.

Going to dermatologist next week, best treatment plan for acne?
I've had acne since I was about 11 or 12 years old and now at 23, it's not much better. I've tried over the counter face washes, acne cream, moisturizers, etc. and none of them work. Sometimes my face will be almost clear for a few weeks, then I get 10 zits at once...mostly on my chin and cheeks. I get more around my time of the month, like a lot of women, but I get a new one almost every 1-2 days.
What type of acne medication do you suggest?
How do i take better care of my skin?
I have bad skin face. I have many blackheads and acnes on my face. I use clearasil cleansers and Olay moisturizers. How do i take better care of my skin? Sometimes, i do mask. All doesnt seem helpful.
Best drug store cleanser/acne treatment?
I have moderate acne and it seems like im ALWAYS breaking out! Do you have and good drugstore or organic type store acne cleansers, toners, or moisturizers to recommend? I tried biore blemish fighting ice cleanser and it was pretty good, has anyone tried their whole acne regime? (the cleanser- astringent & scrub) Was it good?
btw i've tried clean&clear and it was terrible and don't recommend proactive, i know, i know, it works i get it but i can't really afford it so stick to inexpensive products please
What is the best OTC acne treatment?
I have acne that ranges from mild to moderate, with huge pores and some mild discoloration from old breakouts. My skin dries out extremely quickly, and all the moisturizers I have tried, including oil free ones, make me break out more. Mineral makeup also causes my skin to break out badly. I have tried numerous products including proactive, clean and clear advantage, and acnefree. Everything seems to work nicely for the first week or so, and then it just seems to stop.
Do you have any suggestions as to what I could try, that is not prescription? Ideally I am looking for a 3 step system similar to proactive or acnefree. I've been looking at brands like Clinique thinking that they might be of better quality, do you have any thing in mind?
Red spots on my legs..?
I've been getting teeny red dots on my thighs, knees, and shin that are flat or sometimes hurt and are a little inflamed. i read in a Seventeen magazine that they're caused from wearing too tight pants, which makes sense because I'm super skinny and I have to wear leggings under my jeans so they fit, and i love my jeans really tight. Natural oils and moisturizers from your skin try to come out of your pores on your legs and they get suffocated under the tightness of the leggings and/or jeans and they cause the red dots.
I know it's easy to just stop wearing tights pants and they'll go away, but I really like wearing tight jeans, they look best on me.
The teeny red dots are small and not really noticable but they're still there and obviously I want them gone.
I've tried Neosporin, acne-spot treatment, and exfoliating with a lufa and body wash in the shower and it helps a little, but they still come.
Besides stopping wearing tight jeans can anyone tell me what I can do?
thankss
