I use a moisturizing gel (aquitanica) every morning and night
I use a loufa cloth every other day and apricot scrub once a week.
After I put my moisturizer on and put my make up on it looks like I'm as dry as a desert! between my eyebrows and my nose esp. are flakey and if I try to srub it off it just gets worse. I like using more natural things on my face and body so if any one has any advise I would love it!Why is my face so flakey even though I moisturize and exfoliate?
it could be eczema. you should go to a dermatologistWhy is my face so flakey even though I moisturize and exfoliate?
I have long suffered the same problem. I found that drinking more water a day and rinsing my face with cold water helped a lot. Too much washing and your oil glands stop working like normal and you get the cracking.
Drink lots of water but it could be the Gel you are using as once its dried it leaves a film on your face which rolls off like skin when you put your make-up on. Try a cream moisturiser for dry skin and wait 5 minutes before putting your make-up on.
Oh and don't use soap on your face as this dries the skin out.
Maybe you're using too many different things on your face too close together.
The same thing used to happen to me, but i used a smoother washcloth to scrub my face and I started using a body butter on my dry spots instead of my usual face cream.
It has more oil so it keeps it moisturized.
See a dermatologist. Not to scare you but some forms of skin cancer appear as flakey skin.
It sounds like all of the different products you're using is drying your skin out. Stop using everything you're using, and go to the store to get a different moisturizing lotion. Then just use that every day, and see if your skin gets better. If it does, then you know the other things were causing a problem. Also try drinking more water, it can really help moisturize your skin.
It's probably because you use too much! Try drinking more water.
The products you're using are probably not Ph correct. The products I use are botanically based and are Ph correct. They are amazing. Let me know if you'd like more information.
Is your water from a the well water
exfoliate less. try once a week. it also may be your makeup.
If you have sensitive skin you may need a gentler cleanser, and a softer object to scrub your face.
Some people like me can't use anything except the most gentle products such as galdermas cetaphil, and my hands to wash my face then pat dry with a clean soft towel.
Also, if you don't drink enough water on a daily basis, your chances of getting dry skin and chapped lips may increase.
Effects of cosmetic residue .
your using WAY too many things thats 1!! and 2 your washing your face too much that drys it out! TRY THIS buy cocoa butter and or shea butter and that all u need!! wash your face only when showering and just use cocoa or shea butter as many times as you want too per day!! if that doesn't work go see a dermatologist cause you mite not just be dry skin.
Perhaps you have Exmas (Spelling) Its just a common skin condition that makes your skin very dry and flakey. A chemist can probably give you something for it.
I always have dry skin. I actually found this pretty cool website that helped me out with it and some other skin questions I have. They also do a live/interactive radio show to answer any questions on skin health in general. Actually, their topic this week is about skin care. Yous should look into it. Hope this helps you!
http://www.skinhealthtoday.com/radioshow鈥?/a>
I have the similar problem only in the winter. I use so much moisturizer it's ridiculous...yet, my skin flakes like crazy. Curious to see the opinions ppl give you cause I need an answer to this question also.
It may be because of how many products you're using...You may be drying your face out. Also, if you use too much moisturizer, that could be a problem as well. Also, sticking to one brand may be a good decision, and only using it for the recommended amount in a day...Hope this helps!
Try one of the moisturizing masks on my profile. Just click my picture and copy the recipes. Either one should help. Both are completely natural and made with stuff you probably have in the house right now..
The alcohols in most creams, lotions, etc dry out your skin. While they appear moisturized for a little while, it's just a coating of petroleum, not actually doing anyting to moisturize the cells.
If you are using acne-control products on your face or the ones taken internally, they stop the ability of your skin to produce oils, so your skin is like the sahara desert.

I have deep cracks in my feet - after exfoliating them they are softer but the cracks end up deepening?
I've been taking better care of my feet for the past 2 weeks and I do see an improvement, but... I feel that when I (extremely or gently)exfoliate them with a pumice or foot buffer the cracks get deeper although my feet get softer.
I am not overweight and have always had troubles with my feet.
What can I do to prevent this? How can I get the cracks to literally heal?I have deep cracks in my feet - after exfoliating them they are softer but the cracks end up deepening?
The first step for at-home treatment is to wash or soak your feet everyday in lukewarm water and a mild soap. You can add a soothing foot product to help condition your feet if you choose. Dr. Scholl鈥檚 and Burt鈥檚 Bees offer great medicated moisturizing products. However, if you鈥檇 rather use items from the kitchen, mixing one cup of honey with a gallon of water and soaking ten to fifteen minutes can drastically improve the moisture in the skin. Honey is also a natural antiseptic and is a safe cure for cracked or bleeding skin. Be careful not to use the pumice stone too vigorously on your cracked feet as it may make them worse.
Second, you鈥檒l need to dry your feet well. Pay close attention to the skin in between the toes. If this area is not dried properly it can create a breeding ground for bacteria and lead to infection. Pat the feet and do not rub harshly or you can cause more damage!
Next, apply a foot cream, lotion or foot ointment. There are many lotions available offering moisturizers such as Vitamin E, shea butter, aloe and more. These are often helpful for dry, but not severely dry skin. Podiatrists and diabetic specialists often recommend a foot cream such as O鈥橩eeffe鈥檚 working feet cream. This cream is not greasy, hypoallergenic, has no odor and contains no oil or alcohol. It helps replenish the skin with glycerin and protect the skin with paraffin. These ingredients help to sooth, hydrate and repair the skin tissue of the feet.
Also wear socks!I have deep cracks in my feet - after exfoliating them they are softer but the cracks end up deepening?
Here is a simple nighttime solution that may work for you and its very inexpensive. Buy a large jar of Vaseline petroleum jelly. Buy a thick pair of white exercise socks, they can be the short ones with no cuff, just something to cover the foot. Wash feet with a good deodorant soap, rinse and dry thoroughly then apply the Vaseline in a generous layer all over the bottoms and between toes and especially on the ball and heels of the feet. Put on the socks and go to bed. When you get up, and remove the socks, you will notice that your feet feel much better, in time the cracks will heal, as you continue to gently exfoliate the rough calloused skin on the bottoms.

Omg i PILLED off a SCAB and now i have PINK skin where the scab was should i moisturize,air dry, or exfoliates?
i made a stupid mistake. i start college monday i dont know if i can where a hat i know it wont be healed by monday but what should i do to help the pink skin/scab moisturize,exfoliates,neosporine or air dry?!?Omg i PILLED off a SCAB and now i have PINK skin where the scab was should i moisturize,air dry, or exfoliates?
Just leave it. There's nothing wrong with it, that's natural. It's healed, the skin is just new.Omg i PILLED off a SCAB and now i have PINK skin where the scab was should i moisturize,air dry, or exfoliates?
Your sore is pretty well healed. Don't exfoliate! It's pink because it's new, tender skin with no protective older skin over it. In a few days it will look less pink. Mostly leave it be. Neosporine or moisturizer won't hurt. You can evaluate whether you think either is necessary.

What kind of exfoliating soap/lotion is good for getting rid of tans?
I don't think you can get rid of a tan, but maybe you can try some kind of powder or make up.
I heard people with severe acne aren't supposed to exfoliate, is it true or just BS?
I heard that exfoliating will cut up your acne and actually inflame it and make it worse.
I thought it was best to exfoliate at least twice a week to remove all the layers of dead skin that build up.
I have extremely severe acne and am currently on antibiotics, topical treatments, and next month I will be going on the pill. Don't give me crap about my antibiotics or topical treatments because whenever I ask a question people just give me crap about it. I am not asking for your opinion on my choice of treatments, I am asking you if I should exfoliate or not.
I have been exfoliating with proactive gentle formula with 2% salicylic acid but am returning it because it hasn't been working and am buying the St. Ives scrub for acne prone skin.
Yeah so....
To exfoliate or not to exfolilate?I heard people with severe acne aren't supposed to exfoliate, is it true or just BS?
I'm not 100 per cent sure, but my opinion is that it is ok to do so, as long as you are really gentle and don't scrub too hard, otherwise it would aggravate the acne. Also, I would probably do it no more than twice per week.
You should try roacutane, that's what I used as a teenager, and I didn't see another pimple for many years.I heard people with severe acne aren't supposed to exfoliate, is it true or just BS?
I don't think exfoliation will worsen your acne, but it may leave ';ice pick'; scars in the future and these may be difficult to treat. This is from my experience especially with guys with severe acne who picks their acne. Ice pick scars would require dermabrasion procedures, which are expensive.
NO, DO NOT DO IT ! it may leave permanent scars. %26amp; cause infection, then you will have a bigger problem , just do what you are doing. GOOD LUCKds browser

relax, and take 1-2 showers a day, 1 morning and night, RELAX
too much wamr water or hot water or applying with too much for exxagerated amounts can be bad for you + make u itchy and grow more acne and etc. (including too much streesss and brainwork casuess even mroe)
i mean come on, wwat the...
gees for a guy thats soo...wrongWhat is the correct way to wash your skin and exfoliate it?
Sounds like you're doing pretty good, do a gentle massage, don't rub in the cleanser hard. ANd just skip the hot towel part. After you rinse alot, just pat dry gently with a clean towel. If you have any spots, just put on a tiny dab of Olay zit cream (at night) and if any parts are very dry, use a light moisturizer only on the dry parts. (Morn and nite) If you feel some parts are oily, you can use Olay astringent or toner on just the oily parts. morn and nite.
I don't think your way sounds ';wrong,'; especially not if it's working for you. I've recently discovered though that an exfoliating cloth really is a miracle worker. I use it instead of my hands to rub in my cleanser, and I'm really seeing a dramatic difference for the first time in my life. I've always had really terrible skin, and even prescriptions didn't do much for me, but so far, adding this in addition to my normal Proactiv and Thermaclear routine has given me the best results I've ever had.
ive heard before (and this works for me) that you are supposed to rub in circles. wash ur face in the morning and ant night, and in the shower.

A good exfoliating wash for pimple prone skin?
Even where I don't have pimples, my skin is a bit rumpy bumpy. I want to make it soft. Is an exfoliant the way to go? And can you recommend one?
Cheers =]A good exfoliating wash for pimple prone skin?
My skin is acne-prone too!
I use St. Ives Blackhead and Blemish Control Exfoliating Cleanser and it is the BEST!!!!!!!!!
It doesn't leave your skin dry, it leaves it clean and fresh and glowing.
It's about $4 at any drugstore and I wash my face twice a day. Morning and night.
The bottle has lasted me 3 months already cause' a little goes a long way.
I HIGHLY recommend this.A good exfoliating wash for pimple prone skin?
I use this stuff you can pretty mucch get at any store, it's an apricot based scrub. I use it everyday and it makes my skin soft and I don't break out near as much. I also use a toner and Moisturize only once a day since I have oily skin already. I use the toner and moisturizer from bath and body works. :)
What the skin needs is a product that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into pimples. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those ugly pimples.
Before trying any treatment, I suggest you read this informational source that listed the most effective acne treatments available:
http://www.17acnetreatments.com
P.S. I also know someone who used to suffer from severe acne for 14 YEARS and finally got rid of it completely. She's sharing her story at her site:

Maybe you could learn from her inspirational story

Good luck.

How often should i use a mask and exfoliate?
Hey, i was wondering something. I have sensitive, acne prone skin. I use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser every morning and night, and a moisturizer. Ive been exfoliating with neutrogena acne stress control power clear scrub twice a week (wed. and sun.). Ive been using this routine now for about a month and its been working good. The scrub really helps me not break out. Anyway, ive recently purchased queen helene mint julep masque after seeing and hearing all of these wonderful stuff about it, so i gave in a bought it for $4 at walgreens. In the back of the tube it doesn't say how often this masque should be used, and i was wondering if you could help me figure out a good routine on how often i should use this masque and exfoliate. i would really appreciate it. TY!!How often should i use a mask and exfoliate?
you need to exfoliate just 1 a week no more is unnecessary also if you do it often you can damage your skin.
also use the mask 1 a week or 1 every 2 weeks depends on your skin
if you have sensitive skin or dry skin every 2 weeks is enought.
if your skin is oily you can use it once a week .How often should i use a mask and exfoliate?
It sounds like you have a good skin care regimen! You can exfoliate twice a week, but once a week is also okay if you have more sensitive skin. Masks are good once a week as well, in fact, you can skip cleanser on the day of mask + exfoliation. Just don't forget to moisturize after cleansing/exfoliating/mask!
Use the mask about once a week. I would keep exfoliating twice a week, because that seems to work well for you. Don't do masks to frequently, though, because you don't want to strip your skin of its natural oils.

My sunburnt face is peeling! should i exfoliate?
my face got sunburnt on saturday and sunday but now all the sun burn redness is gone but my face is peeling. i have never gottent this bad of a burn on my face so idk what to do! should i exfoliate the peeling skin away? i use st ives apricot scrub. but im afraid if i exfoliate it will just irritate my skin more. also school is starting in 3 weeks and i want my face to be back to normal again before school starts! help me!!!!!My sunburnt face is peeling! should i exfoliate?
Definitely don't exfoliate that will irritate your skin
and like the others said its best to use the aloe gel morning
and night...
in the future when you get burnt make sure you put lotion on
the burnt areas at least twice a day to keep it moisturized and you'll never peel trust me I've been burnt so many times and I never peel because I always moisturize.
Good Luck! :)My sunburnt face is peeling! should i exfoliate?
I would put on some aloe at least twice a day once when you wake up and then when you go to bed. you can also put it on when you start feeling it heating up.
Don't exfoliate. That will irritate your skin more.
Go to Walgreens and get some aloe gel to put on your face. And just keep moisturizing with lotion.
It'll be fine after a week or so.
if u do do it very gently coz if u just go at it with st ives u could make it worse. i would very gently with a face cloth just rub gently in circular motions and let all the dead stuff come off naturally

if u do do it very gently coz if u just go at it with st ives u could make it worse. i would very gently with a face cloth just rub gently in circular motions and let all the dead stuff come off naturally
How do i make my own exfoliating facial scrub?
Two words: Sugar and lemon. Get a little tray and blend those to things and then immediately apply to your face or desired place to exfoliate. It leave a nice texture. Try to do it every three days or every other day. Hope it help! Good luck :] How do i make my own exfoliating facial scrub?
Mix sugar with honey until you make a pasta... you can add some milk... and then put it in your face and massage ... that will take away the daed cells and leave you with a pretty, soft face ;)

Is it okay to steam, mask, steam exfoliate, moisturize?
I have a big dance coming up tomorrow at 6PM, and I have two large pimples, one on my forehead, and one by my lip. the rest are little.
What I did was I steamed my face, and than I masked it for an hour, and I steamed again and exfoliated than moisturized. is that okay?
if not, what should I do again tomorrow? ALSO, when I steamed my face, I added 3 drops of Tea Tree Oil to clean my face.Is it okay to steam, mask, steam exfoliate, moisturize?
That's great! You're taking care of your face, which a lot of people fail to do. The steaming opens up your pores, which allows the mask to work better. Just be careful with the exfoliating to not get to the pimples, because if you exfoliate them, your pimple may tear and bleed or something, and it will take a lot longer to heal.
Hope I helped! Have fun at the prom!Is it okay to steam, mask, steam exfoliate, moisturize?
its probly not like you do that everday right ?
i do that to my face like once a week .
so you should be fine .
did you do it to Just those 2 zits
or your whole face ?
cuz, that might be much for your face.
anyways what you could do
it soak a cloth in Hot water, %26amp; keep putting it
over your face or just keep putting in on one of the zits
then do it to the other, keep soaking the cloth
%26amp; putting it back on the 2 zits .
repeat that as many times as you want .
it's almost like steaming your face :P
it makes you're skin look nice
after your done all doing that rince your face
with COld cold water, to Tighten those pores.
%26amp; if the zits are red from the hot cloth
it will make that go away too .
you can do this in the morning before you leave .
You should leave your face alone for tonight,you have done enough, maybe too much. After all you did to your face it may break out worse. Anytime you cleanse, steam, exfoliate it brings out impurities in your skin. Be prepared to deal with pimples if they appear. Zinc cream is good to use as a base for makeup, you can get it at a health food store. Good luck, hope for the best.
yes..its fine..why wouldnt it be?

What are your favourite beauty products (especially exfoliate scrubs and bath soaps)?
hey ladies.
im working on a project for beauty products aimed at women and i would like to know what you as a woman like.
first of all what is your all time favorite cosmetic product? brand? (as in nivea, j%26amp;j, opal etc).... the one you cant live without....why?
secondly, do you prefer to use natural products that have good results but take time, or are you more likely to use a product that has quick results (these are mainly chemical based)
lastly, are you willing to try something new?
if you have anything else that you would like to tell me about the products that you use... feel free
thanks...
What are your favourite beauty products (especially exfoliate scrubs and bath soaps)?
I always opt for natural. I often make my own scrubs with essential oils and sugar or salt. I am always open to try new things but I always research to make sure it has not been animal tested. I cannot name one specific product that I cannot live without but I am a fan of many of Burt's Bees products as well as Dr. Bronners Magic Soap. And I also like a nice, natural fragrance (lavender, vanilla, etc...) as opposed to anything ';perfumy.';What are your favourite beauty products (especially exfoliate scrubs and bath soaps)?
I definitely go for natural product... I live in the philippines and i use Ilog Maria's shower gel ,their honey shampoo and facial mask.
I also love Body shop's product...
I can not live without Olive oil (the one you use in the kitchen)... its the best conditioning you can give your hair and your skin...
Cann't say if iam willing to try somothing new... maybe if it has been used already by a friend and it is highly recommended.... dont want to risk getting skin allergies..
What's the best way to exfoliate my skin?
After some research about my skin, I'm pretty positive that I need to take care of my skin by exfoliating dead skin cells that aren't shedding properly. This is for my face AND my body.
The only problem is, it seems like there are so many ways it can be done, and I don't know what's most effective. The only info I can get from google searches are websites devoted to products, and of course each one says that THEY'RE the best at exfoliating.
So from your experience what is necessary and what is not?
1) a rougher-than-normal scrubbing device
2) a body scrub with slightly-abrasive beads or bits
3) a soap with Salicylic Acid
4) a facial mask
It seems like if I used a really rough scrubber along with a soap with bits, it might damage my skin, and I wouldn't be able to really use it on my face. Do I have to get all of them and just see what works? Is there anything you've heard doesn't matter when it comes to exfoliating?
Thanks for your help everyone!What's the best way to exfoliate my skin?
okay, i definitely recommend Biore exfoliating face wash with bead scrubbers... it works i promise you!!!! :) :) and also, use a natural face mask every now and again. but biore is excellent cuz it gets all of your dead skin cells off your faceWhat's the best way to exfoliate my skin?
i am OBSESSED with exfoliation... so ive tried every product out there..
for your face i 1000000% urge you to by ';St.Ives apricot scrub'; its the best thing in the world... its coarse enough yet its so moisturizing and leaves your skin glowing.
as for your body, believe it or not... just exfoliating gloves and normal shower gel will do the trick.. but what i love is what i made...
all you need is
honey.. how ever much you want
raw sugar
* that will make a basic scrub.. and boy does your skin feel so great after.
you can add...
ginger slices
orange peel
lemon peel. ect
just mix it all together and but it in a jar and leave it in the shower. .( you can also use it on your face.)
anything you like its all good for your skin.... and its awesome.. trust me
never ever use a rough scrub on your face! it will have the opposite effect of what you're trying to achieve. it will cause pimples and premature aging. use a mild scrub on your face, such as oats, fruit seeds, almond meals/or clays. a body scrub may be a bit rougher, with sugar or coarse salt in it, even coffee grings work great at toning legs. In my experience the BEST exfoliating method for your body is through 'dry brushing' this is done through using a cloth (such as agate, sisal, loofah http://fromnaturewithlove.com/scrubs/thu鈥?/a>
this makes your skin (and whole body) so soft and healthy and clear.

Any free and homemade ways to exfoliate or homemade tan on feet I'm a boy and have 48 hrs to solve this?
I have swimming on Monday and my legs look orange tanisha from the sun and my feet r white. How do I either exfoliate with homemade stuff without losing my tan, or how do I make my feet tan using homemade things, preferably waterproof. I have 48 hrs ty!!!!Any free and homemade ways to exfoliate or homemade tan on feet I'm a boy and have 48 hrs to solve this?
Forget a homemade sunless tanner: it would be a disaster. Even the ones you buy don't look all that good, odds are you'd turn yourself orange and wouldn't be able to wash it off-- that would be much worse than white feet.
If the tan on your legs is sunless and you want to tone it down with exfoliation, first use a rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer to remove the excess. Then you can use about any gritty substance around the house to scrub a little deeper-- corn meal, cream of wheat type cereal, even course salt. Just be very careful not to over-scrub and leave yourself raw.
Unless the tan on your legs looks really bad, don't worry about it: since most people are afraid to go barefoot these days, tan legs and white feet are pretty common.
