hye park lover.. who on earth is that guy in your avatar???

Ahhh isn't he so pretty? He's called Gaspar Dietrich. He's got a thread on here. It isn't very extensive, but what the hell, it's better than nothing

For the scrub, I recommend Origin's "Never a Dull Moment"..it's worked wonders for me...
Plus I like to add on a sheet mask like SKII's treatment mask...it peps my skin up tons.

is this the one?

[Hye Park Lover]

has anyone tried the "never a dull moment" cleanser? If so, is it good?

 

[Golden_butterfly]

Does anyone have any ( safe ) advice on how to treat ' bumpy ' areas?
Such as tiny ' bumps ' on the forehead ?

##

What kind of bumps are they? (The hard ones, or the raised white lumpy pores?)

 

[Golden_butterfly]

^ I don't think they are pores, they are very tiny ' skin coloured ' bumps which are even more visible when I wear liquid foundation than when I'm without any make up
I thought using a primer would help to get a ' smooth ' look, but that didn't help either!

oh yeah.. those are called cysts.. hate those.. i get them too sometimes, when trying out a new product which my skin dislikes for me, the trick to getting rid of them is a good natural toner at night, such as Aubrey Organics Vegecol for sensitve skin (aubrey-organics.com) OR diluted apple cider vinegar (w/ water)<<< works like a charm

 

[Golden_butterfly]

^ Thanks amorousluna !
Definately going to try that out. My skin looks quiet well besides those, so when I say I want to smooth my skin out they laugh at me and thinks I'm exagurating cause appearently ' they don't show '. But once in a while even I feel like wearing some foundation without having to worry about tiny bumps

amorousluna, when you said dilute in another post did you mean 3 parts water and 1 part apple cid. vin. or 1 part water and 3 parts apple cid. vin? I was a bit confused. how often should i use it once a day or twice?

The Never A Dull Moment cleanser seriousely brightens your face, I loved it. It makes an imidiete difference. However, I did run out quickly! But I would reccomend it.

Thanks for that I couldn't wait for a reply so I just went and bought it yesterday (and lobbed myself a free sample of the face scrub as well ) I used them together yesterday, and seriously, the difference is noticible Although I would say the result of the face scrub is more obvious than the face wash, but that could just be because it's supposed to be exfoliating and not just cleansing ....

Hye Park Lover where did you buy yours from, i'm not which places that shop the origins range?

 

[Hye Park Lover]

^ I got mine from the origins counter in Debenhams The house of fraser website lied to me and I ended up trekking through the mall for ages and finally managed to find it in Debenhams

Anyone got a recommendation for a good hydrating moisturiser that'll make my face look fresh?

 

[SaturatedSaturn]

hye park lover.. i have two really great ones to recommend! i suppose you'll have to decide which is most apt for you skin type

1) quince day cream, by dr. hauscka- the texture is supposedly thick (according to some people.. i personally don't think its thick at all!).. but IMO its very very light, clean, pure.. yet highly effective! my skin soaks it right in... immediately! it leaves a wonderful glow that doesn't look greasy.. it just makes it look like your skin is really glowing from the inside out!the ingredients are really pure, and the scent is fresh!

2) 'Almay Milk Plus' is a fabulous lotion which is much more convenient. its oil free, non-comodegenic, hypo-allergenic, fragrance free and designed for even the most sensitive skin types- but it has something that other sensitive lotions dont- its relaly powerful and specifically designed to make your skin super radiant! when i first started using it, my skin looked like a light bulb- and not in a greasy way, either! i used it for about a year... before my skin seemd to become immune to it, and stopped soaking it up :-/ it was a staple before that, and my own little find.. which noone had yet caught on to. i turned many of my friends on to it though.. i couldnt not share its magic i highly recommend it and you can find it at drugstores that carry almay products! its only around 11 dollars..

Amorousluna do you know something that can minimize redness?
I think my skin is really sensitive, it gets red-ish so easily

Do'h! they sound wonderful but don't think you can get them in the UK! damn, I'm so moving to New York now

 

[SaturatedSaturn]

golden_butterfly.. so does mine. the past couple of nights i've been using the apple cider vinegar... 1 part acv and 2 parts water (i realize this is better than one half acv and 1 half water)... i've used it in the past, as well, but never for over a few days. surprisingly, its the complete opposite of irritating.. at least for my skin! the improvements are noticeably different.. my skin's irritation patches of slight redness are definately decreasing, my skin is totally totally glowing, and it seems to be very very healthy. im not sure if acv works as a toner everynight, but it certainly works as a pick me up every once in a while. im going to continue to use it every night now, since it really has been the best toner i've ever used other than that, you really should find a face lotion that works to help w/ that, cause their supposed to soothe your skin- if your moisturizer can't do that, perhaps you aren't using the apt type for your skin! hate to say it again, but natural products really are soothing.. especially for sensitive skin types, which can easily get off balance

hye park lover you don't have EITHER in the UK??? drugstore.com sells the Almay Milk Plus, and both Sephora.com and drhauschka.com sell the products.. if you're up for ordering? i suppose you'd like to get a sample first? you sure you dont have drugstores and dr. hauscka stores? haha.. makeupalley.com and healthboards.com have some really great product reviews, too.
