I use a St. Ives Make-Up Remover and Facial Cleanser that removes eye make-up, takes care of clogged pores and doesn't burn eyes. I picked it up in a pinch a while back at the grocery store(!) and have used in ever since in place of those more expensive ones because it works. And it's the only one I've found that doesn't burn my eyes.

I used to use St Ives Apricot scrub. It cleared my pores well and when I used it I always got compliments on my skin. But more and more makeup artists have told me not to use it. Too harsh.

yorkietalkjilly 07-28-2013 03:38 AM

I can't use the SI apricot scrub - it just scalds my skin. But the make-up remover, facial cleanser is so mild yet really cleans up my whiteheads. And does away with eye make up without burning my eyes OR being oily. I hate the oily junk.

Other sites say surgical steel only, other sites say titanium is much better and more expensive than surgical steel. Do you have if it makes a difference?

Good question! I don't know for sure bc I've heard it both ways too. The one I got from Amazon I've had for over a year, and I can say it hasn't broken down or degraded at all in quality, if that helps. It's still just as effective as when I bought it. That's a really great question though, wish we had an answer.

Leave it to women to get the bright idea to rub needles all over their face. Dang it, now I want one.

They say to disinfect it with alcohol after use.

Oh yay! Let us know how it goes!!

ok... I keep coming back to this thread!!!!!!

I have been using Mary kay for many years.. but the past couple of years I started using products that have DMAE. Dmae firms the skin (being closer to 60 every year that is important) I found it at drugestore.com..very inexpensive. I also watch dr. oz and it has been recommended to use DMAE, Vit C, Vit A...so I do.

Last Christmas I got a clairsonic and I just LOVE it. It has improved the texture of my skin.

I have fairly good skin for my age...which is a amazing concidering I am a child of the 70 and have lots of sun burns and hours in the sun.

so now... I am going to willing buy s device and prick my skin with needles. yea baby!!!

From: http://www.new-spa.us/faqmicroneedle

Stainless steel needles are made of medical grade SUS-304 steel (the same grade of steel used for manufacturing of hypodermic needles). The thickness of the wire, used for the needles is 0.20mm in diameter. Titanium needles are made of medical grade SUS-304 steel covered with titanium vapor - the composition widely used in implant surgery. It makes the steel stronger but at the same time the wire becomes thicker up to 0.30mm. The punctures made by titanium needles are larger and more visible.

The span life of titanium needles is 6 month VS 3 months for stainless steel.

Could you do pics like before and then weekly after?

The Clarisonic Mia is all you really need. It's the cheapest too. The key is finding the brush head that's the right fit for your skin type. I think there's a quiz you can take on their website. I buy my brush heads from eBay. They're a lot cheaper. You will LOVE it!!

LOL, well maybe, but I'm way to private to put pics all over the internet. I will say though that one of the ads on Amazon shows how it worked on fine lines around the mouth and upper lip. That's what I'm looking for, minimizing lines, and plumping up via collagen.

After too many years of sun in Arizona and Maui, I'm paying the price. I had FX laser on my face last fall, which was effective but very expensive and painful. So when I see reviews of people who have also had expensive invasive derm treatments say that this lil microneedle derm roller gives similar results, I am all in.

Hey, remember this similar thread 2 years ago?

http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/off...care-club.html

Lots of good info was shared. I got the Olay brush, and think it really helps, although I am inconsistent in using it.

It is only around $30, so much cheaper than the Clarisonic, and I wonder if anyone has used both and can give reviews.

I am going to offer another endorsement for the Clarsonic Mia!!! Love it, I use it a couple of times a weeks along with Philosophy Purity cleanser and have wonderful results.

I love the Clarisonic Mia - it's a bit smaller...and honestly, I wouldn't want anything bigger than it is. I LOVE my Mia :)!

Yup! I get my brush heads on ebay too. I get the Sensitive brush even though my skin really isn't that sensitive. Sometimes I get a little dry if I use the regular brush bc I do use my Mia every day.

YES, I love that thread :)! JenCar98 also did a fabulous skin thread too, didn't she? The one where we all talking about at-home peels (glycolic, lactic, TCA)?

Thanks for the tip about brushes, much cheaper on ebay!

Now I need a tutorial on the skin peels, how do you decide what's best for your skin, and do the really make your skin peel?

I've had the Olay brush for a while, I decided to try the Clairsonic to see if it spins faster. I'll let you know if the Clairsonic is significantly better. I do like the Olay brush, and for the price, you can't lose.

I wonder what they'd say about microneedling??? Lol!

I bought two, but I'm not sure I'm going to try it yet, lol. It works the same way as a wound, lol, all the science that goes on in your skin to heal the wound happens when you use the roller on your face! Point being it makes your skin cells grow and shed faster, and with weekly or biweekly wounding, the collagen builds up fast!

I know right?!

So this microneedling and Clairsonic stuff, does it actually work for clearing pores or just for reducing lines? I don't really need to reduce lines but I do have clogged pores.

If all you have is clogged pores, I would think you would want to try salicylic acid and perhaps the Clairisonic. The salicylic acid comes in many forms including different washes, but it suppose to be great for unclogging pores. Also, a temporary measure to make your pores look 1000% better try Revitalift Miracle Blur by L'Oreal, it really is an amazing product.

Carmeow 07-29-2013 08:41 PM

I had really oily skin as a teenager and now iny early 20s my face is sadly sensitive to everything I ever try. I cannot use the clarisonic, products targeted to sensitive skin give me a rash, Anything exfliating makes my face actually bloody and raw. .ugh!

I am a huge huge fan of Lush Cosmetics, they are Canada based and all their products are made with natural ingredients, lots of them vegan. I use a cleanser with calamine, lavender, honey, and a bunch if other skin soothing ingredients. It still makes my face burn when I use it but I haven't found anything better. I have huge pores from back when I had lots of blackheads but they are unclogged now, just remain huge and I have so much redness and irritation :( Anything under the sun you can think of will burn my face.

Anyone know of a simple, limited ingredient cleanser with no exfoliation beads, no harsh chemicals, perfumes, dyes, etc? I've tried Chanel, drugstore, Laura Mercier, Bioderma, Purity...like everything!

Oh gawd, I love skin care / derm stuff! It's so interesting. What I really like now though (vs years ago), is that we now have evidence-based proof about certain products that we all should be using (ie Retinol, CE Ferulic etc)...so it takes out a lot of the guesswork and the marketing hoopla by companies pushing worthless products.

I have it too. I tried it for the sample facewash it came with and then bought another bottle of the facewash, did it for that bottle too... never really saw a difference and stopped using it. I wonder if I kept with it what it would be. Its still in my shower. LOL
