Facial Hygiene & You!

[Caiti]

Yeah, I'd guess that it would be easier to find amongst organic products. I'll keep my eyes opened, the salon I work at gets a lot of catalogs for different hair products, I'll let you know if I see something. Good luck

Did you order the sample pack from Geo or the actual Coral Food? The sample pack is like 6 bucks and comes with both coral and sandalwood food (Each sample lasts about a month), bunch of shave creams, and colognes in a nifty bag. Hellva deal. If you bought the actual CSF you'll have enough for the better part of a year even if you shave daily.

I ordered the 200ml bottle off amazon. I had a gift card so I got that and some nifty tea tree shampoo

I'll have to look at that sampler. May get it just cause. I just ordered colognes too, but I love having a good variety.

I can't remember the name of the website, badger something, but it's a website/forums dedicated to only shaving that I found last night while bored at work. So many people say going with a safety razor is better, but I don't think I have patience for that. I did learn that I think it's my pre-shave habits that may be causing me to still get some neck razor burn.

A lot of people posted they didn't think Trumpers is all that, but this is probably coming from guys spending hundreds on this stuff. A lot of people did say it did wonders for their skin too. Even with the gift card it hurt to spend the $34 on it. I'm glad to hear it will last a year though.

I use Clean and Clear blackhead control. and Olay complete facial moisturiser for sensitive skin. Never had a pimple problem.

I made the mistake of using my husband's St Ives Apricot scrub for oily skin..and that made my face really dry at first... then by the end of the day, it was super oily. ew

I used to get acne right under my cheeks quite a bit, until I realized one of my habits was cheek biting in the exact spot I would get acne. I stopped that, used the Aveeno moisturizer and wash face 2x a day and my face has cleared right up as well.

coincidentally -- I was biting my cheek (bad habit) as I read this...never knew!

tl;dr all 4 pages If it hasn't been mentioned already, drinking your 8 glasses of 8oz. of water has been shown to reduce acne. Keeps the skin nice and moisturized, plus you're helping the rest of your body at the same time.

Thoughts on baking soda for facial cleansing? I've been doing this for a while, just a couple times a week. I just make a paste between the baking soda and some water and exfoliate my face. Seems to work great.
