Washing your face when...?

Question

does washing your face twice a day make your skin dry and breakout if i use regular soap? because i only wash my face in the morning, because if i wash it too much it will dry it out and make it breakout. so what is a cleanser for me. my skin is sensitive...i can use anything but regular soap and i may breakout.

Answer 1

no it doesn't

Answer 2

soap tends to dry the skin. Instead, use a milky cleanser.

If you really want to use the right stuff for your face, go to skinid.com or to clinique.com, both have areas where you answer questions about your skin type and it shows you what you need.

Also, switching a lot may not be good. Your skin needs time to adjust, especially if you have a little bit of problem skin. But if you really want to stick with soap, I agree that once a day is fine for your dry skin and try using Dove soap. It's sensitive and may get your face on the right track.

the reason your face breaks out if you wash too often is because you're stripping your face of its natural oils and bacteria which helps to keep your skin clean. if you use a ph ballanced moisturizer it should help. i use all Arbonne products, i LOVE their Intelligence Not So Basic face wash line. it includes a face wash, mask, balancing toner, eye cream, and face moisturizer. you could just use the wash and moisturizer, but obviously it's formulated to work all together.

Arbonne also sells a Personalizer, it's a green compact that helps reduce redness, absorb oils, and keep your makeup in place. it's a GREAT product that i would highly reccomend.

most makeups are made with mineral oil (which seals off the skin and doesn't allow it to breathe) and animal by-products... animal parts are boiled in a large vat and the stuff that floats to the surface is skimmed off and added to your cosmetics! gross! arbonne doesn't use either mineral oil OR animal products, so it is MUCH better for your skin. it doesn't use chemicals either! it's all natural and BENEFICIAL! which means that it won't cause your face to break out, and it adds minerals to your skin actually improving it over time.

if you don't use makeup, but want to get glowing skin... durring the summer i just use a bronzing powder. it works great! it makes all my skin look tanned and lightly dusted, so it doesn't look naked, but doesn't FEEL like makeup. then i throw on some eye liner and eye shadow and i'm done.

check out my website for more arbonne products! i really hope you find something you're looking for: http://home.comcast.net/~chrisandlisa/si...

Washing your face twice a day is essential for good skin care.  Your face accumulates dirt during the day so it is essential to cleanse your face.  At night, your skin, well, let's just say you wake up with drool on your face.  However, the system you use could do more harm than good.  Use a good skin care product that includes cleanser, toner and moisturizer.  This will enhance the look of your skin not make it look worse.
