Model skin & body care tips / products

[cold_sun]

^True but at least if you use natural products you mostly know what excatly it is in them that isnt good for your skind and dont have to make a wild guess out of the 3000 ingredients in the store-bought products Every products have their pros and cons I guess

I'm a model so I guess I can share my skin tips in here,
I use cetaphil for daily face washing or cucumber make-up wipes after a late night shoot
when im too tired to wash my make-up off proply :-/
I use Clarins scrub once a week, and on occasion 'extract' blemishes and close with ela bache estringent (gods gift)
Oh and for moisturising 'Simple' face moisturiser

[Vanilla_Lush]

[LetThemEatCake]

I wouldnt use sea salt or sugar on my face, but that's just me.

dont use sea salt
experts say the best is to mix some oatmeal flakes with honey.
i do it once a week and it is REALLY great. makes your skin baby-bum soft.

oh, and about the lemon. DON'T do it if your skin is dry. that's my tip. I have sensitive skin but it's not dry, so when i rub it in my face it just hurts a bit and turns red, but thats ok, what would you expect of an acid? after a while it stops and i wash it off, my skin glows.

PONY RYDER: What products do you prefer?
ALI MICHAEL: I love Origins products. I use the Checks and Balances face-wash and A Perfect World moisturizer and eye cream. I have really sensitive skin but I've used this stuff for years and I love it. I also occasionally use a face-mask made only of azuki beans, rice bran and soybeans ground together. For body, I use a natural exfoliating scrub from Sabon in NYC in the shower and moisturize every day with organic avocado oil and a shea butter cream. I also have a total obsession with lip balm.

OMG love this thread~

 

[cold_sun]

I was thinking, I got like very very sensitive skin with quite a few occassional breakouts and enlarged pores, so my dermatologist gave me this series of very natural products, free of any chemical or artificial ingredients (the brand is called 'Rosel heim', but I think its only available in Germany). They obviously do not harm my skin, dry it out or anything for that matter but at the same time, it doesnt really do anything against my breaktouts. Im using the product for like 3 months now, but my skin hasnt really improved. She also said that anything like peelings or cremes/lotions/wash gels with acid, even the tiniest amount, 'destroy' your upper skin layers and make your skin condition even worse.
But I was wondering, I mean like 9 out of 10 models say in interviews that they do use peelings, and they obviously have the perfect skin.
From your experiences, would you say that I should stick to those products (and the dermatologist) or go for smth sensitive, but also smth that actually is against breakouts, large pores etc. ?! TIA

 

[Vanilla_Lush]

thanks for the advice on not using lemon and sea salt on my face!
i'll try the oatmeal and honey tip.

 

[madchenlieben]

i think you should switch your dermatologist, cold_sun, haha i'm jut being honest, it's good to change your doctor once in a while, until you find the one that really helps you. IMO.
And a homemade recipe to tighten your pores is to pour a beaten egg white and leave it to dry. it's great.

STEPHANIE CARTA: I am lucky to be blessed with good genes. When you come across the right people to give you the right personal tips along the way it’s awesome.

The one model who suggests the yellow Clinique lotion, its called Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, and it comes in a glass jar, thats tiny and its a horrible lotion, no one should use it. Full of mineral oil, which is the cheapest oil there is, very comedogenic and not hypo-allergenic.

Clinique have some other moisturizers that are better, like their new Redness line, dont know the exact names, but at last they've stopped pushing that nasty DDML on people!!

^It did do wonders on my feet though. No kidding.
