Question:

What is the best skin care product?For dry pinpuly, ichy skin.?


Answers:

If your skin is dry and itchy, you probably need to figure out why. Often the usual active ingredients in skin care products - benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid - can cause irritation and make your skin dry, uncomfortable and even break out worse! Try using a soothing facial cleanser without either of these products, possibly something by Dove or St. Ives, for about a week or two until your skin has had time to recover from irritation. It won't help your pimples disappear immediately, but if your skin is comfortable it can make the breakouts less extreme in the future. Use a moisturizer every morning and evening when you wash your face. After the dryness is gone, start back up with a new medicated product and use it maybe once a day or so until your face has time to get used to it, then gradually use it more often (or a higher concentration of the medication -- for instance, I used to use a 2% salicylic acid cleanser but I now use a .5% (half percent) salicylic acid cleanser).

I know this is kind of discouraging, but I am 20 years old and still have very sensitive, irritable skin. The best thing I ever did for it was to take birth control pills... it has worked miracles on my face!
