Facial scrub, wash, whatever

[jackxtwist]

I am not really into putting something on my face. So my questions are:

1. Do you use facial scrub/wash? If so, what brands?
2. How often? Do you like cycle it?
3. Do you combine it with any other ritual or pamahid?
4. And most importantly, what are the results?

TIA!

1. I usually buy Nivea for Men products. As to which one I regularly use, wala. Madalas kasi nakakalimutan kong gamitin. A tube would usually last me more than four months. Minsan yung whitening, minsan, oil control, minsan scrub. Depende sa kung anong madampot ko.
2. At least twice a day ata dapat. Pero dahil tamad ako, like ngayon, mga two months nang ubos pero di ko pa rin binubuksan yung bago. Naghoard kase ako nung summer sale. Pag scrub naman, mga once a day lang kasi masakit sa mukha.
3. Nope. Depende pala kay misis pag trip nya kong iexperiment sa mga NAPAKADAMI niyang facial products.
4. So far pogi pa rin naman sabi ng nanay ko. Haha. Siguro the fact that I don't see any major changes is why I am not really into using these religiously. Ginagamit ko lang whenever I feel like it.

You are very welcome. Sana marami kang napulot na aral sa sagot ko haha

so i went to sm supermarket and checked the facial stuff aisle.

grabe. nahilo ako. eto yung mga products na nakita ko
1. facial foam
2. facial scrub
3. facial serum
4. facial mask
5. facial cleanser

don't tell me lahat yan ilalagay sa mukha sa isang routine?

[mangkulas03]

just white soap (dove) everyday is okay. pang linis.

then twice a week, face mask from lush or kiehls (depende sa mood) or yung nabibili sa mumuso or watsons (pwede na yun). to close pores and prevent break-outs.

scrub - minsan lang. pag wala available, pweds yung coffee grounds. or brown sugar.

and don't forget to moisturize.

Hondomeeee!

For me, they're all sabon. Hahaha. As long as nagbubula at natatanggal ang mantika ko sa mukha, ok na ako. Sabi nga nila kelangan daw imoisturize kaso antamad ko.

Naalala ko pala, there are two more facial products that I like and will probably be buying again once my year-old supplies are gone: shaving cream and aftershave lotion. Currently using a Gillette shaving cream and a Clinique Happy Aftershave Lotion (bigay lang). Will probably get a different brand of shaving cream pero yung lotion, soooobrang okay neto. Hahaha. Wala yung mahapdi after mag-ahit ng balbas at bigote.

^I wouldn't really consider shaving cream at after balm as facial products. lel but yeah I have Gillette shaving cream (yung green) but I have been using coconut oil pang shave. swabe.

But going back to topic. I emailed Ponds and Olay to  help me with my problem.

Hi Ponds!

I am a 27-year old male with dark complexion and I rarely use skin products on my face. I am interested to know if you can help me create a skin care routine. My face is relatively oily with very few pimples. I am mostly concerned with getting my face less oily  as well as cleaning it because I commute to work everyday.

Your response will be highly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jack


Here are their responses:

Dear Mr. Twist,

Thank you for reaching out to us. For your knowledge, oily skin has large pores and is usually oily in the nose, forehead and chin. Usually it has blackheads and pimples. Aside from regular exercise and proper nutrition, you can also use skin products that are allergic to your skin's needs. You can try some of the following Unilever products for oily skin: Master Oil Control Max, Pond's Acne Clear White, Pond's Clear Solution Facial Foam, Eskinol Oil Control, Eskinol Refreshing Facial Cleanser. Read the information contained in product labels for more information on its use and effect. And to make your skin more beneficial, it's also a good idea to use it.

Warm regards,
The Unilever Consumer Engagement Centre

Hi Jack,

I am glad you  reached out to us in finding the right Olay products for your skin needs. I will definitely assist you in making a personalized skin care regimen that will help you achieve the best results.

So I can assess you with the right product regimen, hope you can take time in answering below additional questions from Olay:

•What's your average time for sun exposure in a week?
•What skin product/s are you currently using? (e.g. Cleanser, Serum, Moisturizers, Cream, Mask)
•How quickly do you want to see results after using Olay products?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hey you can also use body care products from Nyassa Bath and Body. The soaps are natural and after using them,i don't use scrubs and other things on my face anymore.

Facial cleanser and face-brush, I use it two times a day. Morning and Night (before retiring to bed)
Facial Toner. I pat my face with a little amount of facial toner after cleaning. Two times a day din. This is to balance the PH level of my skin.
Facial Serum. Maganda yung may Vitamin C and E. I apply it after applying facial toner.
Moisturizer. The finishing touch. this is to keep the moisture and prevent fine lines or wrinkles.
Sa morning, apply sunscreen after moisturizing.

Facial Scrub. I use it to exfoliate dead skin cells. I do it two times  week. Do it when washing your face.
Face mask. Maganda yung may collagen and essential vitamins. I do it three times a week after applying facial serum. This is to lock the essential minerals to keep wrinkles at bay. Anti aging na din. Sometimes ibinababad ko over night.

Facial serums are like skin vitamins applied topically... Tho i make sure I have enough vitamin intake, mas maganda daw na sabayan ng topical application. I use Serumdipity by madre labs.
