The skin on my face is dry and I put lotion on after shaving and at night I am now washing my face and applying more moisturizer.

Is there some sort of mask I can use or some deep moisturizer I can use once a week or so for more effect?

Thanks.

Moisturizing is a daily process. Skinactives is a good site to help you on this. http://www.skinactives.com/

what are you using to wash your face? you probably need a less harsh soap. and you may need a heavier moisturizer.

An Pimple cure home remedy can be made from products that are readily available in our kitchens.Face Masks should be considered by everyone for an overall skincare treatmet. Facial masks serve to cleanse the skin and treat problems.Dry chamomile flowers and milfoil flowers put into the bowl and fill with a glass of boiling water.

I try to only wash my face once a day using cetaphil before I shave. I then put on aftershave/moisterizer after I shave. Sometimes I wash my face at night before I go to bed with cetaphil and then use cetaphil moisterizer, though most of the time I do not wash my face again at night. Is it bad to not wash my face at night? Does that clog pores and cause problems?

Thanks.

Skip the aftershave and problem is solved. I've never used it myself.

Everyone is always surprised that I exfoliate after I shave. Then my favorite facial cream(rosa arctica at the moment).

I am not a skin expert but I will play one for 2 minutes while I type this. Or at least give you my experience.


Shaving exposes your face to bacteria and also puts a clean cut across the hair at the follicle. Either one or both can agitate the follicle and cause inflammation.

The idea behind aftershave is to sterilize the area and kill the bacteria and also close up the pores. Also dries your skin. While alcohol can remove moisture very quickly from your face it cannot be replaced fast by using moisturizer. Moisturizer needs time to work. Lets not forget that by closing up and tightening the pores you have also tightened the hair follicle. Sounds like irritation city.

So what I am suggesting is just a way that I have got a close shave and not leave my face dry or get any inflammation. Exfoliating will remove any contaminants and also open the hair follicle so the hair is not causing irritation.


If anyone disagrees or I explained anything wrong I would love to hear what you have to say on the subject. This is just what I have found works best for me.

I'd encourage you to try Tend Skin on your face after shaving rather than exfoliating.

good facial products solve all your face problems, whether it be dryness, redness, or irritation due to shaving.

don't be hesitant to buy the more expensive stuff because usually you get what you pay for!

I think this thought is really important and impressive. There are several types of masked products are available for different types of your skin for various condition. I think facial makes is really very healthy and effective for skin because it can improve tone, texture and overall appearance of the skin. In my opinion you may also try it.

I have no much idea about it but in my some knowledge, There are so many energy pills are in the market for every different combinations that contain steroids. I think Some of the best energy supplements come from weeds such as Ginkgo biloba and sepsis.
