Interesing (link?) not that I read women's magazine/blogs often, but it seems everyone I pick up lists that st ives stuff the best budget whatever.

What about epsom salt and olive oil?
I just read a big article about how great salt is for your skin.

I agree with the guys who say keep it simple and stay away from the abrasive and irritating stuff. Use a gentle antibacterial bar a couple times a day, some salicylic acid, and a light moisturizer (none of these have to be high end brands, either) and eat well, and that should help.

Instead of using a face scrub daily, opt for one of those 2 in 1 deep cleaning face washes that small rounded particles in them. This is what I use in the evening to deep cleanse my face. I used to use a astringent but found out that a deep cleansing wash to be better and less drying.

Try mixing some baking soda with your favorite face wash. It's cheap, and a lot gentler than the St. Ives.

I put a little baking soda in my clinque face wash once a week, works great at removing dead skin and gives my face a very clean feeling, cant scrub you face like your washing a pot, I just add it and wash as normal.
