Toners and harsh cleansers always worsened my problems. I finally learned to stop drying out my face, damaging the skin cells and causing the pores to produce more sebum and more blockages. |
I use Burts Bees Orange Essence face cleaner - Orange & Olive oil combo
I occasionally use a scrub - either Burts Citus Facial Scrub, or St Ives Apricot
Never a toner
Once a month Dr. Hauschka clay mask to remove impurities...
I used to be an Estherderm FREAK, facials, etc. trying to get my skin in good shape. I don't recall where... but I read somethere that super cleansing removes too much oil, therefore your glands over produce oil to recover, exaserbating (sp?) the problem and creating all kinds of breakouts. If you cleanse
with oil you don't deplete the oils in your skin so your glands don't feel the
need to produce more oil... then you achieve balance...... oooooooommmmmm ....LOL.... at least it worked for me
