Skin care
I was chatting with one of my cousins and we somehow landed on the topic of facial care. I think he’s tried or knows a lot of products out there. He’s using a high end brand that I’ve never heard of. I told him I just use soap, some cream to exfoliate and an ordinary drug store moisturizer. As someone once said “I use the same soap for my ass and for my face.” I thought I heard him scream when I typed that in. He then surprised me when he said he has regular facials.
Good golly… I’m so behind the times. So what do you guys do for skin care?

lol funny quote… i think facial creams make A LOT of difference. however, i’m not as committed to it as a lot of gay people are.
realistically, i always use a cleanser (matte) whenever i shower, i don’t use toner and i go straight to either matte moisturiser or sunscreen moisturiser in the morning. at night, i use the same cleanser and then put on night cream. every week, i will use an exfoliating cleanser.
that’s all i do. john does a whole heap more.
The quote is so funny! I am very careless when it comes to skin care- I just use the regular stuff.
i use shiseido face wash. i’ve tried other mid-end brands and they weren’t as effective. drugstore brands were not effective at all. moisturizers, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to matter for me.
Kiehl’s face wash, La Mer or Lancome Primodial or some kind of moisturizer with sunblock
I use the same body wash for everything. I do use aloe cream on my face after showering and/or shaving.
We didn’t get into the top 10, boo. But i’m still happy though. I’m posting our entry for a limited time.
As for skin products, it’s all about the Johnson & Johnson Fizzling Oxygenating Cleanser. It uses oxygen that bubbles on contact when exposed to AIR!!! Lifts out dirt, removes dark bags under eyes, and clears out excess oils. Temporary minimizes acne scaring for a day by lifting up skine. Use with the regular Aveeno moisturizer when face is wet. Don’t buy the complementary moisturizer as it irritated my skin and I had an allergic reaction to it i think, but the moisturizer is the bestest. And it’s cheap compared to special care products. I’ve been recommending it to friends and family. Too bad they only sell it online rather than at stores now. ooh, and this says it has Coralline, a red algae on the coast of France, which is said to increase oxygen absorption. No wonder why it works so well.

two soaps, one for each end, lol. maybe time to try facial, mmm,
I am just like you
and everyone compliments on my skin
I never realized I have great skin until I was surrounded by gay men
I have the same bad habit of using soap on my face. Tawn finally convinced me to at least use some neutragena facial wash. I do use a drugstore moisturizer (Boots Pharmacy) with SPF 15 or 20 on a daily basis. Used to use Nivea for Men but Boots is cheaper and less heavy on my face. Tawn also finally convinced me to moisturize at night so I use some Biotherm moisturizer.
I’m still inclined to think it is a bit of a waste of money, but I guess I moisturize my hands and legs when they’re dry so why not my face?
@Wangium - LOL!
Haha~that’s a funny quote, I hope that’s the only common ground between the face and ass. I use Kiehl’s facial wash because some of their products do not contain a whole lot of soap and artificial colours, and will not dry up your skin after use. Follow up with a splash of facial toner to moisturize, and do a mud mask once a week maybe?
“I use the same soap for my ass and for my face.” LOL that was hilarious!!!
I don’t have much acne and just use Clearasil and I love it~! For some reason everything else causes my face to turn red. Then just use regular Johnson and Johnson moisturizing lotion.
skin care products? according to my late mom who ran a beauty/facial shop it really depends on individual and it’s a life time work, all skin care products cannot revert the time. therefore if you have started to take care of your skin in late 20s, hopefully you can keep it tat way until the end.., anyway Been using different brands all these years some products I like: Ultima II ProCollagen, La Mar Face Serum, and eye cream, currently I fall in love with SK-II Products specially the essence. and 2 basic I have never changed, Cetaphil to cleanse and whatever brand sunblock – must be at least SPF 15 and PA++
i don’t use the same soap for my ass and for my face, but i don’t go for the high end stuff. nor have i had a facial before. isn’t it the same as using facial scrub at home?
I bought lots of facial products, but I am just lazy to use them. They all sit in the fridge and the bathroom. I am now getting more and more luxury bath products as well.
You’re Asian…you don’t need to worry. You’re going to look as good as you look now in 30 years…so why spend a lot of money? LOL
