I use the Neutrogena Wave. I like it and I only use it for about a minute or two. I can feel the difference when I rinse my skin. It feel smooth and not so rough. Love it. I use it in the morning. It doesn't irrate my skin like normal scrubs. I have sensitive skin and can't use many products on my face or it will burn. The product on the past didn't irrate my skin and I was satisfied with the product.
Even with me forgetting to wash my makeup off, I rarely have an acne problem. Usually, if I break out at all, it's only around the time dear old Aunt Flo should arrive.
I was at our local Sams Club this weekend and they had people there doing makeovers with this new mineral makeup they were selling. One of their claims is that you can sleep in it and it won't break out your face. I told my husband that next time I go, I want them to do my makeup just to see how it looks. I love mineral makeup and it would be nice to be able to buy it locally!
Oh no way could I go to bed with makeup on! It's horrible for your skin! I would wake up with a major breakout if I did. Not thinking this is such a great idea for anybody, you know? Not if you want clear skin! :-\
There is no way I could go to bed with makeup on. It would be all over my pillows and sheets too. I am always wiggling in the bed lol.
When my brother and I were in high school he would get dressed, make his bed and go to sleep on top of the covers. He would get up in the morning and eat, brush his teeth, wash his face and out the door. He said it gave him 30 extra minutes of sleep LOL.
A lady I know has the opposite system. I have never seen or heard of anyone else doing what she does. She cleanses her face and puts all of her makeup on at night. Then goes to bed. When she gets up in the morning, it is all still perfectly in place. I move around so much at night that I couldn't even consider doing it her way. But she has never had an acne problem.
Uhoh, I'm horrible at remembering to take my makeup off! Usually by the time I get my kiddos all in bed, Im just happy to fall into bed myself! I think I'll put a sticky note on the bathroom mirror to help me remember to wash it off!
I have to admit, I have a line of items I tend to use. A cream face wash for the morning, with a light daily moisturizer, and then in the evening, a pore-cleansing wash with toner. I don't tend to use moisturizer at night, wanting to give my skin a chance to breathe while I sleep. And in the shower, I usually do an exfoliating wash since I'm going through so many rituals in there anyways!
I do a 3 step routine in the morning and at night. I have a gentle cleanser I use to wash my face, and then after my skin is completely dried I use the toner, which about 5 minutes later I will follow up with a moisturizer. I too have to get my makeup off at the end of the day, it does feel more refreshing and clean. About twice a month I will do a facial scrub, just to get rid of any dead skin which can cause to plug your pores and make them break out.
I use a 3-in-1 cleanser; it has the toner right in it. I then make sure to moisturize. I think I have the weirdest skin; I get very oily but I still feel like my skin is dry. I am not sure that I can even explain it well, does anyone else ever feel that way?
I wash my face before I go to bed every night. It's the healthy thing to do for your skin but it also feels good too! Sometimes I use a mask, usually at the end of a long week, to really get in there deep and get a good clean in. That's really refreshing and relaxing! Just don't use soap, whatever you do! It's so drying and then you have a whole other set of problems. I learned that the hard way!
