Do you wear a lot of make up?

[heartbeats_hurt]

No not at all. In fact I haven't worn any make up in the past 2 weeks.

I wouldn't use babyface then. I wear some makeup and I only use BF to take off eye makeup, I used it all over and it clogged my pores really badly!

I think angels on bare skin would work well for you!

[heartbeats_hurt]

Ah ok. That sucks that it broke you out. Most cleansers leave my face feeling tight and dry which is why I thought UB or babyface would be a good option. I guess I should stick to Cetaphil. I hope AOBS works out for me.

are you steaming your face before hand?

[heartbeats_hurt]

No, I have not steamed my face before hand. I had no idea you were supposed to. I hate putting hot water on my face because it dries my out. If I do steam my face I usually put the towel in the boiled water and steam only over my nose because I have a lot of black heads.
Thanks!

Try coal face on your blackheads!

[heartbeats_hurt]

I will! Right now I'm using Mandelic Acid from Garden Of Wisdom and I'm going to see how that works out first.

the 'greasy film' makes me think that maybe you used too much and didn't get it all off. when i use ultra bland, i never have a greasy feeling after. however, i don't think that would explain being bumpy directly after.
i'm no help.

[heartbeats_hurt]

Yeah, the first time I definitely used way too much. This morning I used a lighter hand and it wasn't as greasy but I still got the bumps.

Your icon is sexy though and that's all that matters.

You might be sensitive to the peanut oil. I don't have a peanut allergy per se, but when I used Ultra Bland it gave me this horrible rash-type thing. I tried it a few times to ensure I was using it properly, but no dice. It's just my face that I have an issue using it on, though, so I have been using the rest on the tattoos on my arm. I'm not sure what it's supposed to do, but people say it's a good idea and at least the product is getting used.

I think it's the peanut oil too. I don't have an allergy to peanut either but my skin is super sensitive.I think I might even have a rash on my chin.Did you use any other cleansers from Lush?

Tea tree water is really good in my experience.

After reading reviews that would be way too harsh for my skin. I love Eau Roma! Now let's make a sandwich.

I find UltraBland way too greasy also, so for now I'm using up the pot I bought by mixing it with a bit of Ocean Salt when I use it (which is maybe a few times a week). Mixing it might help?
