OT: Your Beautiful Face

What do you use on your face? I did Mary Kay for like 3 or 4 years, when I worked full time, and then for a long time I used Avon products. But these days I use Oil of Olay products I buy from Wal-Mart. The thing I realized is it really isn't the product but consistency of having a daily face plan. I pretty much use the basic 5 step program of cleanse, scrub, astrigent, moisturize and face foundation. I do not do the scrub but every 3 days. My skin is pretty nice now, but when I was in middle school and highschool, early adulthood it was terrible. My grandmother had the softest, beautiful, complexion. You would never of guessed her age by her complexion. I think I have that complexion too. My Grandma was a Noxema girl, for everything. Hey have any of you had any Botox inj? What did you think of them.

No Botox for me and I am super simple. Cetaphil soap and lotion. The most I put on my face is powder. I do make up the eyes.

I wont do botox. I have used things in the past for my face but my skin is so sensitive that all the products i have tried dont work. I have to be careful what soaps I use too. Sometimes it is the soap sometimes it is the perfume or both. Right now I am using oil of olay for dry skin with shea butter. But i have to be careful because my skin dries out really bad. And with some products (not Oilof Olay though)I break out. I think it depends on the person's skin. wish I had one of those facial humidifier type machines like they had when i was in beauty school..that was awesome!!

I use Arbonne acne and Lanacane for dry patches. I have terrible sensitive, combination skin so can't use creams, soaps, most makeup, etc. I use, in moderation, L'Oreal skin peeling treatment, Avon antiage spot treatment. I'd love to get lasering done on my eyes and for skin lightening but wouldn't do the botox.

I love Arbonne products. They're so dang expensive though. I have a moisturizer that I bought at Victoria's Secret, but it's not something I would buy again. I've also used Mary Kay's Timewise. That stuff was pretty good.

I use Noxema too! Love the stuff and how it makes my skin tingle. I follow it with witch hazel as a toner. I use shea butter lotion on the dry spots but I have combination skin and my forehead is oily so I skip it.

I use proactiv for daily cleansing routine. If I wear make-up, I only use Clinique. I never had acne as a teenager but seem to get it now. I will never get Botox or plastic surgery of any kind. Too many risks!!!

So far it looks like Oil of Olay for most of us, what about the rest of you?

I use anything cheap that has sunblock in it. I think the key ingredient is SUNBLOCK - (at least in this country) also not smoking!

Ps, My 70 year old Mom had botox done for her 50th high school reunion. I was amazed at how it erased the lines around her mouth. I think she said it lasts for a few months. It's definately out of my budget!

When I was very young..about 18..my future sister in law shared her bauty secret with me.. use OIL OF OLAY morning and night.. and I did so RELIGIOUSLY..I use the one now that is unscented and has the sunscreen and vitamins in it..
Well II do think that it worked..in my orfile I ahv erecent pics from this summer..dont think I look 60 but who knows..what 60 looks like anymore

would never do any surgery or shots even if I could afford them..the botox doesnt last and when you do it it sort of freezes your face..my Best friend did it.. so weird..I will just stick with the oil of olay and the face GOD gave me..
Hugs Micki

The best I used if facial products is BeautiControl.com . I don't sell them but I have spent some money and this stuff gives you the results. I stop a woman in Target she was so pretty and asked what she uses. I originally thought she had a good surgeon. Being a little forward sorry for that I wanted the name she said it was bueatiControl I said I am encourage because I started using them 2 years ago and now I know I am on the right track. Sorry to be a plug but I am not selling now if you want candles we can talk. HaHa www.littlebirdcandles.com

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
