Best Face Wash

[Smoking Ganja]

NEVER EVER EVER PUT SOAP ON YOUR FACE. Soap strips your face of good oil as well as bad oil. That's what causes irritation and some breakouts. Here is the combination that works for me. Not sure if you are a guy or a girl but when I decided I was going to fix my face I wanted to find products that were made with men in mind and this is what I came up with.

Every day: Neutrogena Oil-Control Foaming Cleanser from their Rapid Clear line. I use this every day in the shower and maybe at night if I'm going out or before bed if my face looks greasy--Basically whenever you want to wash your face. It does a good job at not over-drying you.

Twice a week: Neutrogena Deep Clean Gentle Scrub (w/microbeads). On non-consecutive days before the oil-control cleanser. It just removes crap from deep in your pores, eliminating blackheads and the problems they can cause. Also removes dead skin. Be gentle, no need to "scrub". Use before shaving for a closer, better shave.

As needed: Gillette Complete Skincare Moisturizer. After the oil-control cleanser. Probably twice a week I use this, usually just before bed, to help my skin retain it's moisture. I don't see a need to use it every day. You can "feel" when your skin is dry.

Problem areas: Clearasil Ultra (Benzoyl Peroxide) twice a day, after oil-control cleanser. This stuff works like magic. I can always tell a difference after the first day.

If you do one thing, eliminate soap and buy the cleanser I mentioned. It's great for a guys face IMHO.

when i went to the dermatologist they told me to just wash with dove soap rather than using all those lotions and that dove works the best

but yea like everyone is saying go to the dermatologist they know skin much better than you do and they also know whats right for your skin specifically

dare i say metro? hehe j/k dude but thats pretty intense

LOL. Yeah I know how it sounds. It's not like I want to be pretty though. I was just fed up at this place under my mouth that would regularly break out so I decided to do something about it. I also do it because I smoke a good bit (of pot) and the smoke alone takes a big toll on your skin. I just don't want to look like a leather boot by the time I'm 40.

but yea, i think i know exactly what you are talking about with that spot mouth thing, thats the only spot ill ever break out in, i usually just use soap and it gets a little dry, id try your methods but im too cheap for skin care products.
