Zone Exfoliating Cleanser

T-zone help ? !?


I have really nice, smooth skin that rarely breaks out except for my t-zone ! It's like every other part of my face is perfect except in between my eyebrows, around my nose and my chin ! It is kind of annoying because it seems as though I can never get rid of the little pimples in these areas and when I do it's not long before more show up.. They aren't horrible looking or anything and with a little cover-up I don't think anyone would say anything but it's just the fact that I know they're there..
I just switched to a new cleanser called Nutri-Pure by Garnier and it has vitamin B5, E and Green LEaf Extract..It's supposed to be good for your face but it just works like everything else I've tried..I use a natural aloe-gel for a moisturizer that is supposed to be good for your face as well and I exfoliate 1-2 times a week .

Should I go for a product with sylic acid ? I don't want it to dry my skin out though..Any suggestions?
Thanks !

Alrighty, you have a condition called combination/acne-prone skin. Since the oil glands around your t-zone are going in over-drive, you definetly need cleansers that will work harder in controlling them than what you are already using. Therefore, yes, salicylic acid is one of the chemicals you should look for in cleansers.
Here is a detailed skin regime I have made out for you:

1) Wash face with cleanser. You've probably already tried this, but give it a try one more time: Neutrogena Oilfree Acnewash. It is mild, gentle, yet effective in removing oil, dirt and impurities. It contains beta-hydroxy acids, with 2% salicylic acne medication to target and prevent those unsightly blemishes.
2) Wipe face with toner. Toners remove extra residue, offer more acne fighting salicyclic acid and tighten up your pores. I like Noxema Triple Clean Astrigent. Do not rinse off.
3) Apply a moisturizer. Even if you have the most oiliest complexions, you need this. The more moisture you zap from your skin, the more your oil glands try to compensate for the loss by creating more oils, and therefore more pimples. Therefore, use an oilfree moisturizer such as Olay Total Effects Acne Blemish lotion - this is ultra light, effective, and even matifies your skin.
4) Lastly, apply a thin coat of benzoyl peroxide on your pimples and any areas that are susceptible to breakouts. This means the area between your eyebrows, around nose, and chin - even if there arent any pimples at the moment, benzoyl peroxide is a good way of preventing them. I like Clean and Clear Persagel; it contains 5% b.p. medication.
***Do this twice a day: morning and night***
****By the way, do not worry about drying out your face. Salicylic acid is gentle and will not strip skin of moisture. If it is too harsh for your skin, look for formulas with lower concentrations such as 1% of 0.5% salicylic acid.
If you want all natural acne medication, another althernative is tea tree oil.
Good luck

Night Skin Care Routine



What are the best exfoliating cleansers, toners and moisturisers?


I'm trying to get into a regular skincare routine and am wondering which brand is the best, L'oreal, Garnier, etc.
I used to use L'oreal Pure Zone which was REALLY effective but now i can't find the full 3 products in any shops in the UK. Does anybody know where i can find Pure Zone or which other brands might be good.
I have quite dry, sensitive skin and i just want a clear, smooth complexion with minimal imperfections. PLEASE HELP! Thank you x

I think Olay is good, I have a firming lotion from them that is very good and then there's Olay Quench, it's a moisturizer.
