well... for my mother, she uses natural products, using cotton wool and cleaning it with milk then wash with vinegar and rinse with water using a face towel. she has been doing that for years and her skin is still flawless even at the age of 50+...wow!!! for me, i have very oily face. i have tried my mom's method but it does not work on me, can anyone give me some tips please? or maybe i will go for a facial first before doing my mother's way.

well, bath foam works for me. Soaping while during bath, then soap the face as well before rinsing off. Doesn't matter what brand the shower foam is. As long as when I bath, I just wash my face together with the rest of me and then rinse off. That simple. Hmm... washing with milk and vinegar eh? That is something new. Maybe can try to see how it feels. Heh heh...

Hmm... if washing with soap is acidic, then how come washing with milk and vinegar is not? Using sea salts? Wahh... rich girl siah. Ahgong can only afford body foam. You are still a student. Why do you need such expensive stuff to cleanse your face? I remember when I was student, my face skin is like really nice. Simple maintenances will do. NO need for expensive treatment of stuff to put on to make it better. Youth is your gift right now. Why corrupt youthful skin on the face with expensive washing agents?

Vinegar huh? Cool. Vinegar has many uses and this one is new to me, these generation looks for many alternate expensive ways to look beautiful, looking back with our old folks they look just great using natural methods ! I could recall my grandmother using coco milk for her hair and aloe vera. I couldnt recommend you one, but I think you should see a dermatologist who is in the official position to state the real condition of your skin. Still the best way of staying beautiful is living life at its fullest.

This is the first time I heard about washing the face with vinegar. This is how you have to wash your face. 1. Choose a cleanser that is formulated for your skin type. 2. If your hair is long, pull back from face with a pony tail holder. 3. Carefully wash your hands. 4. Splash your face with warm water. 5. Work cleanser into a lather, then gently massage into your skin using a circular motion with fingertips. Don't forget hairline and neck. 6. Remove cleanser by splashing neck and face with warm water. 7. Dampen a cotten ball in toner or Witch Hazel. 8. Skim over neck and face to remove any trace of cleanser that you might have missed. 9. Apply your favourite moisturizer by tapping your fingers over the skin. Do not drag skin while applying. If you can wash your face like this, you will not need to go for facials often. Do not try to use what others are using as everyone does not have the same skin type. This is the correct method of washing your face. try for sometime and let me know.
