I’m thinking about trying Mac Studio fix powder foundation?
And i was wondering what good skin care products and routine i should use because i’ve heard MAC can cause skin problems…?
I have eczema, and normal skin.

I was thinking about Clear Essence or Black Opal.I have so many spots from bursting pimples on my face.Which is a better skin care line to clear my skin?please answer honestly.

i’m like tan and i used ambi’s clear fade and it pretty much even out ur skin but it smells really bad, i’m not black though, but i’m sure ambi will work cuz when i was watching bet i like saw its commercial like millions of times and all the women who were in it were black and their skin looked really good.

Hey there. I have blackheads on my nose and chin and can’t seem to find a product to successfully remove them. Please suggest your favorites that cheap and ideal for sensitive skin. Thanks!

same problem for me… my nose is covered with them but thankfully they look a lot like freckles and their small… I use Cetaphil facial wash and then put Mary Kay acne treatment gel on my breakouts and where my blackheads are… it makes them not as noticeable…. Neutrogenia has this amazing cleanser/mask that i use when my breakouts get REALLY bad… it like cleans ever pore….
Always wash your face with warm water… it opens the pores and washes dirt and stuff off of your face. After you rinse all the cleanser off, then switch your faucet to cold water as far as it can go and rinse your face with that… it makes them really small…

I’ve been using this moisturizer for a couple of months and it like clogs my pours and you can sometimes see it! I just an out of it and don’t plan on getting anymore but i have pretty dry skin. Is there any natural remedies or something else to help my dry skin???

You can get a way better moisturizer. But a very good home remedy is also to rub your face with almond oil or olive oil every night before going to sleep. Yes, It may seem bad but it works!

I have oily skin. I don’t have severe acne or anything but I do have some scars and I do breakout sometimes.
So I want to try a new foundation and I’m on the search for the best drugstore foundation for my skin type.

My skin tone all over my body is just uneven and ugly, how can I get healthy looking skin on my face and body?

Vitamin E may be a good start.

I often suffer from spots and am wondering what your face and body skin care routine is, daily/weekly. I only really use moisturiser on my body every once in a while after bathing and only use face wipes on my face before I go to bed and when I wake up. I have never ue anything else and have never exfoliated or anything else except used nivea moisturiser. What are your routines.
Thanks x

It is very important to wash and moisturise your skin (face and body) every day – it’s just good basic care. It doesn’t have to be expensive! You can be as cheap as you like, as long as you choose products that suit your skin type.

I am a black female in need of some facial skin care help. I just regular soap and water to wash my face, but its not cutting it. I have some dark spots and discoloration that I would like to get rid of. I would like to use a product for the discoloration and a face wash and face lotion that is simple to use every day. Does anyone have any suggestion?

Never use soap on your face! I use the Oil Free Acne Cleanser with Microclear Technology by Neutrogena. It’s in an Orange bottle. Make sure it says "With Microclear Technology" on it. And always moisturize your skin if it feels tight. I use the Soft Day Moisturizer with SPF 15 by Clean and Clear. Cleanse your face twice a day, once in the morning when you wake up and once at night before you go to bed.

my skin is really itchy right now from the dryness of winter and such, but my skin is also very sensitive to a lot of products. whats something i can use to help the itchy dryness without bothering my skin more?

Winter is really hard on our skin. As the skin gets more dry its gets more sensitive to products, so it becomes a vicious circle.

Having a lot of trouble with dry skin on and around my nipples. They become puckered and rough, leading to pain and itchiness. Regular moisturizers dont seem to work. PLease help.

There is something called Lanisol that woman use when they are breastfeeding, (if your a male you might find that offensive, couldnt tell by your name) but dont be im serious when i was breastfeeding this stuff was a miracle worker. You can buy it at drug stores even stores like target or walmart. They usually come in a purple tube. It really helps.
good luck

I have really oily skin which is acne prone. I do use ProActiv. I currently wear bare minerals, but it makes me look cakey and super oily. Colorstay has good coverage but breaks me out. Does anyone know what foundation and powder will be good to use?

I have super oily skin too. I use "Workout Makeup" foundation by Clinique. And when it gets really bad, like in the summer, my favorite secret trick is to apply solid deodorant to my face.

Vitamins that contribute to healthy skin ? Foods that are good for the skin?

I’ve heard all these things about skin care routines (clean, tone, moisturize) but I’m not sure what I should use. I have very sensitive skin and very natural products work best. My skin does not get very oily or have a lot of acne, so I don’t need anything extreme. Ideas? Thanks!

I recently switched from a cleanser which only contained .5% sacilyc acid to another cleanser which contained 2%. I also started to use an exfoliating scrub every morning. I don’t have acne-prone skin, I only get the usual pimples now an then, but now I’m breaking out very badly. Is it because my skin is too sensitive and reacted to the harsh chemicals? If so, if I switch back to my old cleanser, how long until my skin recovers?

Yes, sensitive skin will break out and rash from just about everything and anything you could ever think of.

I have been lack of sleep for AGES, my skin is so ugly, pale, pastey, and white. and unbalanced skin tone , pale white and red etc. black under the eyes, puffiness. ETC. How many GOOD night sleeps will it take to get that healthy glow back. Please.
I’d assume 1 week or maybe 2 weeks.

Well sleep isn’t the only factor in healthy skin. The other huge factors are your diet, how much excersize you get, etc.

I need skin care advice as iv started to get a lot spots and now ive aslo got scarring. Its quite depressing as im now in my thirties and never got them before this. Im considering a medium chemical peel for the scarring but obviously I need someone who specialises in black skin or it could just make matters worse. Any help, advice, recommendation would be most welcome as this is getting me down and making me anti social.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, but try to stay positive while you search for treatment. You should get a referral from your primary doc to a dermatologist. I’m not sure there’s any reason to get one that specializes in black skin (do they even have those?).
