[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The less product, the better.

You're stripping protective oils off your face, which will make your face dry and need lotions and creams. The cosmetic industry brainwashes women to believe they need skincare routines with tons of products, but really, if you don't hurt your skin in the first place, you don't need most products.

Obviously, there are exceptions and skincare has to adjust depending on your skin type, age and seasonally-variable climate.[/quote]

The oils are not protective, they are buildup. Per the logic of your post we should never shower.

Best to use a soap everyday, with a washcloth to scrub off dead skin, and then moisturize ans protect from elements with a non comedegenic moisturizer.[/quote]
I have dry skin and rosacea. If I did that, my face would be inflamed, covered with broken blood vessels, and flaking. No mechanical exfoliating or soap for me.

I cleanse with honey. If I’m wearing a heavy mineral sunscreen I use a Korean oil first and follow with honey. Moisturize with Fresh products and exfoliate with something from the Ordinary (the one that is red). In the winter I often don’t need to cleanse in the morning and just use water.

Different people have different needs. Few people will have a good result from scrubbing their face with soap and a washcloth- that’s going to wreck the moisture barrier. But I’m sure it works for someone. [/quote]

This is pp who suggested washcloth, any dryness/flakiness/redness may be due to dermatitis, a fungal growth on skin (same as we can get on scalp)--a few days of ketoconazole clears it right up. The condition usually shows up in the middle bottom of the forehead above and between the eyebrows and the face right next to both sides of the nose and the crease.

The condition also shows us as lighter colored skin patches but I am AA so can see this easily but not sure how this manifest on our white sisters.[/quote]
