I've been using a lot of products for my beauty regimen lately. I can't seem to stop changing products each time. I've tried Olay, Garnier, Maxipeel, Neutrogena and recently Pond's. People say that beauty products, especially whitening and anti-aging are used by people to make themselves look and feel good.
How about you? What beauty products are you using and why are you using them?

I see :) Maybe you're using products that are comedogenic (not good for oily skin). Sometimes it depends on the sensitivity of your skin :)
Poor friend... he got blamed :)) But it's okay... just let it heal :)

OK I will tell you the reason: When ever I used products out on a Market now, It all make my face more worse! You know what I mean? Like for example, I used facial wash.. After three to four days! OMG a lot of pimples are knocking on my face.
One time My friend invited me to a Facial Wash Session, he tells me that it will surely make my face free of pimples and black/white heads. After 3 sessions? Ive been in my friend house just to blamed him for what happen.
I used a lot of this product. but nothing happen really.....hehehe

Hello, Pierrella. Don't use too much chemicals on your face instead have a complete rest, eat more vegetables and drink plenty of water. Chemicals only improve your epidermis, it's superficial. Better use those natural way than spending hundreds of bucks a month. I know people who have beautiful skins and haven't used anything on their face or to their body. Want to know their secret? They love to eat steamed vegetables and regularly drink tea. Tea, helps flushing toxins. Their skin is like a baby and they look young. If you want to apply something on your face you should ask your dermatologist. Regular visit to derma house will also help your skin glow(regular facial).

Well, yeah! I don't visit my dermatologist regularly even i was scheduled for follow up check up.
It really depends on the mood. I only visit her if i suffer a skin problem.
Teas, are okay. That's why Chinese, Koreans and Japanese have good skin. Your welcome.

I used to go to a derma but I stopped. hehe! I just didn't have the time anymore.
Yeah, actually I've been thinking of drinking tea every morning. Maybe I should do that :)
Thanks for the advice, too :)

Actually, simonlee, people who naturally have good skin also have it down to their genes. For example, did you know that Koreans have less sweat glands compared to people down here in the Philippines? Have you also considered their climate? And have you also considered some of the population
I agree with having a balanced diet, drinking tea (which contain antioxidants), going to derma and having a regular facial (not 1 week before or during your menses, please, or you're prone to have bruises on your face because of the blackhead and whitehead removal) but some manufactured products DO work. Plus, your so-called "chemicals" also improve the dermis if absorbed well enough--- depending on the nature or the mechanism of action of the product, really. In any case, some products are worth it. Organic products are nice but only if they work. There's a reason why beauty editors' top picks aren't just filled with organic products.

if you like to really make your skin white placenta soap and gluthatione lotion are the best match for it and you can have the fairy skin in just one month. This is proven true. I have five friend who are using this soap and lotion and they got the fair skin they wanted, even if they exposed their skin on the sun. And the good thing, you can buy that products in reasonable prizes. It is very affordable. that I got to thinking that you can achieve the skin you want even for cheaper prize. Thanks to whom who invented that soap and lotion. However, i haven't experience using Maxipeel, and Neutrogena is expensive based on my budget. Ponds, i am still using the toner. Olay total effects is really good too, but expensive.

Yes, I've heard about the placenta soap but I haven't tried it yet. My mom has this Olay regenerist deep hydration cream. I really love it. Though it's not available here in the Philippines. We even asked our family friend in Sacramento to buy it for us. lol

I have exceptionally sensitive skin. I would love to have the money that I've spent on products that I've used once or twice, found out that I was allergic to and simply threw them away. What I'm doing now is making my own. I found at site that provided recipes for cleansers, toners, moisturizers and facial masks. My skin seems to be doing very well with them. The only problem is that most of them have to be refrigerated so I can't use them when I travel.

Wow, so you make your own beauty products? That's really cool! There are a lot of organic products here in the Philippines but I don't like the consistency of lotions. The texture is different. Maybe it's because I prefer thick ones like body butter or something :)

Hi friend,
I´m not a regular user of any beauty product. I get gifts of all sorts of creams for hair, face, hands and body. Once in a while I remember ands Iput some. I have a hand cream by my computer. I don´t remember why I brought it here. But when I read your post, I put some cream on my hands. It smells nice! But still I forget. I only wear lip gloss when I go out, specially in winter instead of lip balm because I don´t generally like those strawberry or mint tastes they have now. I am afraid that I don´t believe much in those products. I think a good way to stop ageeing too much is discovering something to do. Laughing is another good product. Just think of somrthing sad and touch you face: you´ll see that the skin in your face "falls".
I try love as much as posible as my best beauty product.
Take care!

I don't use hand creams that often, too. I just use them when I see them, which is very seldom. lol.
Same here, I just put on lip gloss except when I'm attending special occasions. Those are the only moments I put on powder and blush :)
I agree that laughing is a good product. Very true :)

i dont have beauty regimen specially t night like most woman do. i hate to put cream or whatever in my face as i feel it sticky in my face and it will stick to my pillow. its like messy. though what i did, instead of spending money to those beauty product i rather want to save the money and go t dermatologist for my deep facial once a month and use just ordinary soap and water everyday.
