how NOT to overdry your skin
ok, so i have sensitive/tempermental, oily/combo (easily dried out) skin that is, as a result, acne prone. i use Fresh Farmacy and i love it, although it is drying and makes my face feel tight (i expected this though). it's started to become WAY more oily too, and i'm pretty sure it's because of the over-drying from FF. i really like FF though, as it's treated any spots i had earlier AMAZINGLY. i have tried Coal Face, and it was even more overdrying for me. i have tried Vanishing Cream, and it started to break me out a little. i tried Cupcake- that gave me an IMMENSE break out (that i'm still recovering from). my routine:
pm: wash with FF, tone with BoFA or TTW, non-LUSH Burts Bees moisturizer.
am: rinse in the shower, tone with TTW, non-LUSH Burts Bees moisturizer.
that's the background information. i've heard of people using Sweet Japanese Girl for not only blackheads, but acne prone skin in general. if you guys know of anything that can either be better or if you know of anything i can use in conjunction with FF, i would love to know it. i was also interested in Babyface or Ultrabland, and alternating one of these with FF every other day. also, i would love to hear of any moisturizer recommendations. my moisturizer is so-so and nothing to write home about. all in all, i'd love to hear some recommendations in moisturizer, routine changes, toner, cleanser, even face masks. i'm open to anything! i scoured all of the tags, but didn't get any solid direction to anything other than what i've tried already. thanks in advance! :)
