Neurotic Males Guide to Skincare

Advantages: Works, Looks Nice, Great Results
Disadvantages: Expensive, Uses Some Controversial Ingredients

...Since the time I was born I have had very dry skin; as a child I used Hydrocortisone cream which only ever soothed the itching and flaking for a while and then caused the dryness to flare up again, with the added bonus of making my skin hyper sensitive. It wasn't until I became an image obsessed, self absorbed, love hungry teenager that it actually began to bother me (turning up to high school with dry skin peeling off your face is not the ticket to popularity, apparently). Along with super dryness I also managed to get the few spots, which eventually turned into more than a few spots... So being a thoroughly neurotic male I took my money to the nearest Beatties, looked for the cosmetic station with the prettiest assistant and got a free 'Clinique consultation'.... and I have been using their products ever since. The 3 step skincare...

HOW TO GET COMPLETELY FREE EXPENSIVE SKINCARE PRODUCTS

Advantages: Costs nothing
Disadvantages: None

...We are all in a recession, trying to tighten our belts and spend less, meanwhile we are desperately seeking to maintain good skincare without spending a fortune ! This is the ONLY way I know of obtaining completely free, luxury skincare to ´tide you over´or to try before you splash out a fortune on the full size products. I discovered this secret in the 80´s, and whenever I am short of cash, I am unashamed to say that I still use this method. From the retailers point of view, it costs them nothing and has on two occassions ended in me buying the full sizes as I was so impressed with the samples. If you go to any of the large department stores, i.e. Debenhams, Boots, House of Fraser in the U.K. a lot of the prestige brands i.e. YSL, Chanel, Lancome, Juvena etc., - the list is endless. Try some of the testers, enquire about...

Skincare for brown beauties

Advantages: It is effective
Disadvantages: It is costly

...caused by hyperpigmentation will normalise by themselves over time, as new skin cells surface. But many women want a faster solution to fade marks or a product that will prevent them as much as possible. Decleor's Aroma White range is ideal for this. The main ingredient in the cream is Mulberry extract and natural plant derivatives. The cream has a rich consistency which is deeply moisturising but completely absorbed into dry skin types. The cream gives a firm cover from the sun, having SPF 15, and it protects the skin from rough environmental conditions. After around three weeks, dark patches begin to fade and skin tone improves. The cream is quite expensive, so it is better used for treatment rather than for continued use. Once the pigment has normalised, further pigment problems can be prevented by following a careful skincare regime...

Skin care routine.

Advantages: Quick and easy.
Disadvantages: Don`t last as long as cleanser.

...I try to follow a good skin care routine and cleanse, tone and moisturise every morning. I did this for a short while in the evening aswell. It is suprising how much dirt you remove from your face in the evening than the morning, obvious really, but there still seems to be less in the morning, even if you haven`t cleansed the previous evening. Where does it all go? Absorbed into your skin I suppose, which is one of the reasons I guess why cleansing is recommended twice a day. Anyway, I did for a while but my enthusiasm soon waned, which is why I bought the Tesco Skin Wisdom wipes. About the wipes. * * * * * * * * * * * * The wipes are only available in Tesco and contain 25 wipes in each pack. They are 3 in 1 cleansing wipes, that is they cleanse, tone and remove eye make up. There is a resealable plastic strip...

Review of Tesco Skin Wisdom Cleansing Wipes

The ultimate skincare product!

Advantages: It works!
Disadvantages: Price for some

...I used to work as a beauty therapist and have taken many training courses in a wide variety of skincare ranges but i have never found a product that does, for my skin, what this product does! I haven't used this product for over a year now and i can really tell. Normally i have combination skin and suffer regularly from outbreaks of spots and blackheads. After using this product for just 2 weeks i noticed a marked improvement in my skins' texture, appearance and complexion. Consistency: This light, water based lotion uses a Glycolic acid compound to provide daily skin renewal for amazingly healthy skin! This is one of the only products i have worked with that actually reverses the signs of aging and sun damage by continuously renewing (glycolic acid) the skins surface. How it works: The best way for me to describe how this...

Pamper Yourself...

Advantages: Feels luxurious to use
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive compared to high street brands

...The Dermalogica skin care range consists of far more products than I could ever write about in one opionion, therefore, in this opinion I'll tell you a bit about those products I have tried, and a little bit about what other products are available... Firstly a bit about Dermalogica itself... Dermalogica is an American company, based in Los Angeles. It was founded in 1986 by Jane and Raymond Wurwand, who also founded The International Dermal Institute.
