Well i have black heads on my nose and mostly normal skin with the occasional pimple obviously. I also have bags under my eyes which aren’t dark but I inherited them from my mum apparently, I get a good 8 hours of sleep a day :)

So what products or what ingredients in the products should I look for?

Well congrats on having normal skin (everyone wants that)! I loveeee to buy stuff for my skin, and I’m around that age, so I think this might help:

Start off with a gentle daily cleanser to use twice a day (once in the morning, once at nighttime). I like using natural/organic cleansers. And avoid soap bars for your face, they’re usually too harsh.

But for your blackheads, try getting a scrub, I recommend St Ives. Fresh Skin scrub. I use it on my black head on my nose and on my cheeks, and they’re gone in one use. I swear by it.

Also, pick up a good moisturizing cream, not to thick though. And if you’re out in the sun alot, try getting a sunscreen..preferably one that has sun-protection above 30 (the sun proctetion number should be big, and bold on the bottle)

And for your eyes, you shouldn’t worry about them (everyone has them), but if you get self conscious about them, try getting a concealer that has a yellow-y tint to cancel out the purpleness.

Oh and for pimples, don’t really worry if you get them once in a while, but I would just cover it up with a concealer.

But when you pick up a product, avoid anything that says ’sulfates’ because sulfate dries out your skin, and look for ones that say non-comedogenic, so they won’t clog pores.

Hope this helps!!

However he says it makes his skin really sensitive and sore and his razor always cuts him. He uses an electric but dunno the brand.

Is there perhaps an after-shave cream or something that could help or a better razor? I saw a commercial for Nivea for Men but I myself don’t use creams or lotions so I have no idea how to go about this.

I suggest he buys Gillette Fusion Power its the best and never makes cuts.And the shaving cream Gillette goes great with the razor and the razor its on batteries too.I hope i helped.

I know Dachshunds are known for dry skin because I have 2 others but this one is extremely dry. What are some of the best remedies for dry skin in dogs? Thanks!
I have heard about giving them Salmon where would I find Salmon oil?

I have just bought Salmon Oil for my dogs from www.fish4dogs.com.
500 ml bottle cost £9 in the UK. If you are outside the UK there may be shipping costs involved.

You only need to put 1 teasponful on the dog’s food once per day.

My Vet also recommended Evening Primrose Oil for dry skin in one of my Goldens when she was a puppy and it was very effective. The dry skin cleared up within 3 weeks.

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 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 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.

Any suggestions? Good/bad experiences with certain drugstore foundations?
I would like for those who have oily/acne-prone skin types to respond so that I could relate to them.

Thanks
PS: Any other foundations than Revlon Colourstay please..cause I’ve already tried that one.

L’oreal Matte Mouse is an amazing drugstore foundation for your skin type (: Flawless coverage and matte finish (great for oily skin) and lasts for a long time.
Dont buy ANY collection 2000 foundations they are a complete waste of money, illuminate dry flakes on my skin (and i have verrrrry oily skin) and last a few hours or less.
Also I really dont recommend rimmel lasting finish its awful, lasts no more than a hour or two and cover nothing! And doesnt help my oilyness at all!
I also tried l’oreal true match and it sucked, like melted off my face and it illuminated all my oilyness!
Hope I helped and good luck finding the right foundation!
I know you said drugstore, but I just wanted to quickly add that if your prepared to invest in a highend foundation clinique has some AMAZING foundations for your skintype. Trust me (:
