When I hit 21 , my sensitive combination skin developed acne, not fun.As a cleanser I use African black soap, my toner is plain witch hazel and moisturizer from Lush called vanishing cream. In the morning Ill I do is layer over a sunscreen at least 30 SPF.This regimen cleared my skin and even my complexion. My skin hates mechanical exfoliators so I use OLay's night peel twice a week I’m 25 and didn’t really develop a skincare regimen til I turned 21 since I never had any skin problems{ well if having eczema doesn’t count}.

I think you could really change the name of it to Grown Woman OR Man's skin regimen. lol.. Lord knows the fellas like myself need it too. I need to try the grapefruit, etc. toner that you mentioned and maybe a moisturizer. I don't have a set regimen. :-( This is a great article, Afrobella!

I have never had problem skin and people always give me compliments and ask what I clean and moisturize with, but I have no secrets. I use Philosophy's Purity Made Simple and only add their moisturizer in winter and that's it. But do I ever shine up in warmer months! It's crazy. I don't use foundations or anything but if that will calm things down... I'm all for it. My friends say I should leave it alone, it looks dewy. I do not agree. Looking like I've been slaving over a hot stove all day is not the look I'm going after. Does anyone know of a product that will lessen the shine of skin in warmer weather?

Fri, 27 May 2011 02:08:51 +0000 http://www.afrobella.com/?p=5928#comment-1163974 Loved this article. I've always been into taking care of my skin since my early teens (i am now 24) so its not something I've had to transition into doing. I've just changed up my products a bit. For me, my routine is simple and consists of 4 main steps. 1. Cleanse (i simply use liquid black soap/ or Peppermint castille soap) 2. Tone (i use either Clinique's Clarifying Lotion/ my mixture of Sea Breeze- the sensitive skin one & lemon juice. 3. Moisturize (i have a few in my collection but the one i mainly use it Olays' total effects with cooling hydration) 4. Exfoliate ( i use the spin brush from the Olay Pro X line- a great inexpensive alternative to the Clarisonic) Honorable mention: Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mud Mask (this i use a few times a week to cut down on the oil and tighten up my pores) and that's it. For me it's also important that the products i use have longevity so that way i won't have to worry much about them discontinuing something that works for me. I also make sure to get in a lot of good ole H2O :) makes me feel great and makes a huge difference in my skin tone and texture Loved this article.

If you can't afford to kick out $200 for it, try the Olay Pro-x cleansing system, its only $30. You cannot beat that, and it's AMAZING!!!

It def also helps to use organic/natural ingredients, for example , honey, brown sugar & olive oil combined in a jar can be used as an exfoliate & natural shea /cocoa butter can be a winter/summer moisturizer ! As long as you stick to products that are pure or sans chemical, your face would react accordingly & also always use sunblock/sunscreen during the winter/summer !
