face cleansing?

What do you use to cleanse your face with? I know a lady that never used any type of soap on her face and she had a beautiful complexion, I think she used ponds coldcream,

I would like to try something new, but I am so accustomed to using soap that I think my face would feel dirty if I didn't use it, but I am open to any new ideas. Thank you

    What ever you do dont use soap on your FACE!!! It drys it out and makes it go all yucky. Invest in a real good face cleansing product. Have a look at products from a well known brand such as Ponds, Nutrogena, Garnier just to name a few.

    I used to have the same problem as you have right now. I still get zits every now and then but not as much as before. When I'm out, I always bring with me some oil blotters, I go for the brand Gatsby, my second choice is Clean and Clear. This is just to wipe off the oil on my face. Before going to bed, I wash my face with Cetaphil, then I apply Ziaja Cucumber Cleansing Milk and wipe off the excess dirt and make up. After that, I apply a Clindamycin toner. I do the same thing in the morning but I skip on the cleansing milk but dab on sunblock on my face. For the nose, I used to purchase some Pore strips to remove the blackheads and whiteheads, but this should only be done once or twice a week. Preferably with long intervals. I know its difficult to have oily skin, ask a doctor about it. Cleansing is just one step to improve the skin condition. The grease increases the chances for getting zits. My dermatalogist suggested that I drink a vitamin with high Vitamin A IU. It lessened the oiliness on my skin, same goes with the pimples.

    To cleanse your pores, try this:

    Take some brown sugar, honey, and milk. Add them till it is a thick paste, NOT runny. Apply it to your face, rub it in gentley. Be careful not to rub too hard. Wash it off, your face will look and feel cleaner!

    There are four basic skin types: dry,normal,combintion and oily. Each type has its own characteristics and requires specific scientificaly formulated skin care products. For a healthy-looking skin never use soap. I am a beauty consultant.

    Ponds clogs up the pores. I dont recommend using plain soap. Its comedogenic (clogs the pores). Biore products are awesome. I love their acne fighting cleansing cloths. the kind that are prewetted and dont require water. theyre awesome!

    I use oil of olay face cleanser with microbeads. It's like a moisturizing cream and my face never gets dry from using it.

    I use neutrogena, it cleared up my skin within a week and left my face soft instead of dry

    Well, I wash my face with anything that dont' have oil in it. Oil brings pimples to my face. There is Dove that don't have oil but some Doves have oil in it.
