What does your skin care regimen consist of?

Question

Being g*y, I think we take better care of our skin than our straight counterparts do. What do you use?

For years I've used Neutrogena cleanser (either the Deep Clean or the Pore Refining Cleaner). Recently I purchased a cheaper cleanser -- St. Ives Apricot Scrub Renew & Firm. I like it okay, though I miss my Neutrogena.

Then during the day I use Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Deep Wrinkle cream with SPF 20.

At night I use Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Nightly Renewal Cream, though I'm thinking of changing to the nighttime version of the Deep Wrinkle after this tube is empty.

Any thoughts? Anything better at combating wrinkles that I could be using? I have no wrinkles yet and I avoid the sun like the plague (the sun will AGE YOU like nothing else), but I'm open to suggestions! :-)

Answer 1

... think you r the best

Answer 2

why do it yourself? go to a Turkish bath every day and have it all taken care of for you

Answer 3

Just to start of 20 minutes of sunlight a day before noon is recommended to achieve a healthy amount of vitamin D being produced.

My skin care regime is I use a pH balanced soap all over (pH 6) to prevent dry skin. Then since I am a teenager I use Clearasil three way action (cleanser, toner and moisturizer) on my face and where ever I am experiencing acne at that time.

Then I use an SPF 30+ (I'm in Australia, kinda essential all year round) on all parts of my body that are going to be exposed to the sun.

Answer 5

My skin routine is really intense, it would take me forever to type out, and I don’t think anyone would really care to read it, anyway.

Answer 6

I usually wash my face with facial soap and then sometimes if it's really oily or if there are white head I'd use my green tea scrub...it's light and easy on the skin and doesn't make your skin squeak.

Guys who care about their skin...that's hot. I barely know any guys who care about their skin, it's nice to know men even take pride in caring for their skin, soft clear skin is nice to touch and if guys want that on a girl they should maintain their own too.

Answer 7

I shower, with regular soap. Nothing special.

Then, I apply some of the $1 bottle of astringent I bought to my face, neck and shoulders. (I have oily skin, so it works.)

Lastly, I put on a non-oil based self-tanning moisturizer. (I'm white.)

Oh, and I have a bottle of Retin-A I use to touch up spots where acne gets bad. Drys it up fast!

Answer 8

I try to use more natural cleansers for my skin and organic moisturizers. Chemicals aren't good for you.

Answer 9

skin care regimen... well, lets see I wash my face with soap and water. sometimes i will use a make up remover and very rarely will i use anything for acne. I avoid the sun as much as possible. and i only use sunscreen when i go to the beach or th pool- which is infrequently. the saddest part is I have no acne, my pores are fine, and I think that you have proven to care way more about your skin then I. Kudos for you. You must have lovely skin. :D
