ladies: makeup removal

[CRMSNTiDEGRL717]

Hey all! I was curious for everyones methods of taking off their makeup and washing their face. I do the following:
1. ponds cold cream to take off my makeup
2. phisoderm acne wash to keep breakouts at bay
3. and a toner of some sort for afterwards

[veruca76]

Clearsil's Stay Clear - love that stuff! Followed by a little Cetaphil to get the eye makeup off.

[CRMSNTiDEGRL717]

ive never tried cetaphil, but ive heard lots about it. does it take eye makeup off well?? the main reason i use cold cream is b/c it takes eyestuff off so well, but it leaves my face oily feeling. so how does it work?

[Siobhan]

I use:

1)St Ives Apricot Scrub to remove makeup
2)Oil of Olay toner
3)Revlon or Almay eye make-up remover
4)mosturize with Clinique's differently hydrating lotion (think that's the name - too lazy to run up to my bathroom and check )

[KillarneyRose]

1. Remove eye makeup with Clinique rinse- off eye makeup solvent
2. Prescriptives Vibrant Facial Scrub
3. Prescriptives All Clean Fresh Foaming
Cleanser
4. Prescriptives All You Need Moisturizer
for Normal/Oily skin
5. Prescriptives Uplift Firming Eye Cream

I alternate cleansers...

Cetaphil N/O (yeah, it's good stuff!)
or
Neutrogena Foaming
or
Clean n Clear (the one with the microscrubbers)

Before washing my face, I take off my eyeliner or mascara with Nivea's eye makeup remover.

I don't tone or do anythign else to my face after that, b/c I am a firm believer that using more products only aggravates my skin. My skin looks its best when I don't use too many products or touch it constantly. Drinking lots of H2O and eating a balanced diet helps a lot, too.

I use Nutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash, followed by their oil-controlling astringent.

In the mornings, I use Almay's Milk moisturizer with sunscreen.

I figure I should be good to my skin now and be sure to wear lots of sunscreen to keep it looking young

Doesn't soap and water still work?? (sorry to sound plaintive)

Hey Amycat!!!

I have nearly the same routine!!! I usually use a cetaphil moisturizer though. Also, I use the Acne Solution Night Treatment gel, at night, instead of a moisturizer. It keeps me from breaking out.

Hey Clinique Users...

FYI They're not toners. They're actually liquid exfoliators. So, make sure to use them on a completely cleansed skin so it can do it's job.
Just so you know.

i like the make-up remover from bath and body works, its really good. I also use the oxy pads they are good also

[dzrose93]

I use Purpose soap from Johnson & Johnson. My dermatologist recommended it when I was in high school, and I've used it ever since. Best thing about it is that you can buy it in the grocery store and it's only about $3 for a bar that lasts months! I also use Clinique's eye makeup remover if I wear eyeshadow (which is rare).

[CRMSNTiDEGRL717]

Local sororities---- have u ever tried neutrogena's hair line. ive been wanting to try it, but im scared to stray from my routine

[KillarneyRose]

Hey CRIMSONTiDEGIRL, I've tried the Neutrogena Clean balancing shampoo for normal hair and the replenishing conditioner for dry, damaged hair. They work really well, especially the conditioner.

Shopgirl-- Could you tell me a little more about the Clinique liquid exfoliator you mentioned earlier in the thread? That sounds like something I'd be interested in. Thanks much!
