Facial wash, toner, moisturizer, scrub and mask? Do you actually know how to use

Hi hotsummer...
I have never fell into the traps of all those skin products. I keep my face clean and clear just by washing with regular soap. I haven't had the acne problem(knock on wood) and give the thanks to soap. I know one thing that I have found that is good for the skin. Nothng more than vitamin E. It is really good for the skin,hair, and even the heart. I take vitamin E daily. I also drink a lot of water.. This is how my skin reacts to these. I would say that everyone's skin reacts in different ways. Great discussion..Continue to have a nice day..

In my finishing school I have learned the basic of facial and was quite diligent in following it during my early days but it seems I have done away with it and only use cleanser and toner now. My face has not tested the full set of facial for a long time now.

I put make-up on everyday because of my eye bags. Therefore, I have to clean my face with a facial cleanser everyday. I use the cleansing lotion as it is quicker to get the make-up off. I just rinse it with water afterwards and moisturize it. Once in a while (1x a month or less, depending on whether I remember it), I use a mask to remove the impurities. I have an acceptable skin but I agree, the best thing is to keep it clean and hydrated. Hope this helps.

Hi Hotsummer,

There are plenty of Cosmetics brand available in the market. The only brand I am using currently is Clinique.

I have been using this brand since my college time till now I am still using this brand. Never think of changing to other brand as it suit my skin and protect my skin well.

I have bought from facial wash,toner,moisturizer,mask and scrub.

I only will use the Clinique Facial Wash when I put some make-up. Or else for daily use, I will use other local brand to wash my face (Hazeline).
After wash my face with facial wash, I will clean my face with toner(do it everyday using a cotton balls). Then apply some moisturizer.

For face scrub,it is not advisable to use it everyday. I only used it once a week and for the face mask, I do it twice a month.

I have an oily skin, so I am very concerned about cosmetic products that I am using. Better stick to ONE brand that suit your face well rather than keep trying other brands.

I uses facial wash rinsing my face every morning and before going to bed. Then, I put astringent or toner. Then,apply after that with moisturizing cream. it greatly helps in keeping my skin soft to the touch and feel. It retards aging and gives me a good complexion. it is my everyday ritual.

i have exfoliating soap, it's brilliant, it's just like a normal bar of soap but it had hohoba beads in it and it smells lovely, i can use it on my face aswell as my body and it leaves the skin feeling so soft and supple, i also use oil of ulay cream after i have exfoliated, it give the skin that extra glow, i have been blessed with good skin in my life, i have never suffered with spots as a kid or a teen, my skin is still unblemished but i do try and take cae of it as much as possible...it's not always going to stay young looking, i am not far off being 50, well 4 years off actually, but i want to keep it as young looking as i can before i get old.

There was a time when I did all that stuff. It didn't make my skin any better in fact I think it iritated it, and my pores were more clogged. All I do now is wash my face and put moisturizer on it. I also always put moisturizer on it after I shower, while my face is still warm and wet. Once in a while in the winter if my skin is feeling extremely dry I will do a moisturizing mask, but I only do that 2 or 3 times during the winter time.

I don't know if I am the best person to ask this question but one thing is for sure that I don't know how to use them and in fact I have not yet used them in my life. LOL!

I sometimes use the facial wash, scrub, toner and moisturizer. I don't do it every day because sometimes I just don't feel like it. A lot of the application depends on the brand, some are daily, some are different times of the day, some are every other day... What I use is daily, but I alternate it with a different wash so I don't always do the same thing every day. My skin is ok - it's not flawless but it's not a mess either...

I never use mask or scrub on my face. What I do follow is the traditional, cleaning, toning and moisturizing. It had been advised to follow that system when cleaning your face. Yes, admittedly, I do feel quite lazy having to follow it almost every night. But then, your looks would really depend on your own work, on how you take care of yourself.
