What is the best department store brand of foundation for oily skin?
I'm not interested in drug store brands (Cover Girl, Mabelline, etc), nor mineral makeup. I've tried MAC Studio Fix (worked okay, but I want to see if there's a better option) and never had much luck with Clinique or Clarins. Anyone have experience with Shiseido, Bobbi Brown, Prescriptives, or the like?|||I'd recommend a dermatologist because theres only so much foundations out there that are good for the skin. But dermatologists can find a preface-lotion that you apply before putting any foundation on that helps take care of the oily skin. Might be pricey so if you can't afford it, I suggest Bare Minerals, I love it! good luck. xx|||Try Chanel Double Perfection. It can be applied wet and dry and provides full coverage. Also, if you have oily skin it is best that you apply a primer first prior to applying your makeup that way it will last longer and the primer will protect your skin and serve as a barrier between the makeup and your pores.|||Mary kay is the best for oily or dry skin. I became a consultant for that reason the products work great.|||Yay! you've asked the right person! I sell both Mary Kay and Avon. Mary Kay makes a wonderful liquid foundation for oily skin. It stays matte all day long! My fav for BOTH oily and dry skin is the new mineral foundation. It sits on top of your skin, giving you that gorgeous poreless look. Stay away from the products that you're not able to return if you hate it. Suddenly you find that you've just spent anywhere from 15 to 50 bucks on make up and you hate. Drop me an email and I will help you with anything I can. I can do a really cool customer profile for you on my MK website and after I ask you a few questions it will give you all the make up they recommend they use. It's really fun! Most brands are going to mineral makeup now. When you use it you'll know why. When you email me I'll tell you the products I use on my face and what some of my customers use, what they like and what they don't like. sarahblanco06@yahoo.com|||i use: clinique superbalanced makeup (liquid) and then studio fix powder over it for extra coverage. occasionally blot powder throughout the day.
Can you use a cleansing milk with the clarisonic?
Im planning on buying the clarisonic and im not sure what type of cleanser to use with it. Im currently using the clarins cleansing milk at night and would prefer to keep using it, but can i use that with the clarisonic?|||yes
What brand is better for acne prone skin? Clarins or Clinique? Other suggestions?
Bare Essentials is a brand of makeup that is made from all natural elements. I tried it once and I was hooked. They say that it is so okay for your skin that you can sleep in it. I barely get pimples anymore.

As for makeup, use mineral make up|||I prefer Chanel DOUBLE PERFECTION FLUIDE foundation - my ultra-sensitive skin has never broken out with it.|||1 word...Almay.|||use a soap called Clearasel its sold in Wal-Mart in the cosmetics department it cleared my acne up be sure and use the one with the blue label the green label is a moisturizing lotion|||Clinique, definately.|||I have Huge pores ( I see them with my own bare eyes), oily shine that practically looks like sweat, and break out. Plus, what pores I do not see, they are clogged and have squeezed the clogged stuff out jsut to clear them out because nothing else works. But if you want clear skin stop using foundation for about a week until you cleanse your body from the inside out: cut greasy food. Just blotting pizza to remove excess grease can make a difference. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER! for a week drink a gallon of water (or lemon water for flavor) with sliced cucumbers (and/or fresh tomatoes). Try this first before you use products. Just simply wash with a gentle cleanser morning and night. Try to take care of the problem inside before you deal with the problem outside. You will see a difference|||Forget liquid. Go with Bare Minerals (Bare Essentials). It's the best stuff out there. It's actually GOOD for your skin!! Check out the website the person above me put on their answer. It seems pricier than regular makeup, but it lasts so much longer because you use so little that it ends up being cheaper in the long run.|||Bare minerals/bare essentuls is the perfect makeup for any skin. It is all natural. Many stores sell it now, they can help you put it on properly. If you buy the starter kit, some come with a video or DVD. It lasts a SUPER long time.
The foundation lasts me about a year. My skin is so much better.|||merryl norman make-up. yardly soap for your face, oil of olay oil free moisturizer, and a benziol peroxide acne medicine like "ON_THE_SPOT" from nutrogena for the really persistant spots.

How do I shave my face without getting a rash?
I am sick of coming out in a rash a day or two after shaving. I usually don鈥檛 bother with shaving because of it. I generally just have permanent stubble which I trim close with clippers.
Whenever I try to shave (wet shave or dry electric) I look great for a day then during the second day I start to get spotty and by the third day I have an awful painful rash which itches and hurts.
I have tried all the expensive shaving products from Clinique to Clarins.
Someone help! I cant go through life with stubble, my girlfriend is getting stubble rash!|||Look for a product called ultra shave - follow the instructions and your skin will clear up. Sounds like you might have a slight fungal infection. This natural formulation contains a bactericide. You'll have smooth soft skin within a few days.|||Make sure you don't shave with a dull razor. But I would suggest try shaving in the opposite direction than you have been shaving. My boyfriend gets a rash when he shaves with upward strokes, but no with downward ones. Also, try taking your time, and make sure you are shaving at the right angle to only require one stroke versus two or three, because the more a razor goes over the same spot, the more irritated the skin Will become. Good luck!!|||I used to break out when I used a razor. I learned that I had to presoak my beard thoroughly before shaving to get the desired results. What I do takes a little time, but it does work, and I have avoided rashes for years now. I shave in the shower. I take my shower as usual making sure to keep my face good and wet rubbing the warm water in every chance I get. I have a mirror in the shower to facilitate accuracy. I use the shaving gel which gets more moisture to my beard and I rub the gel in thoroughly. Then I make sure the razor is sharp (two shaves per blade is about it for me). I use the Gillette Trac III which seems to work really well - they also make disposables that are good. I shave very slowly to make sure that I am not abrading my face. This has worked for years to help me avoid shaving rash.|||put a hot flanal on ur face for a min to open the pores and after shaving spash ur face with cold water to close the pores. also use sensative shaving gel and after ur done put sensative aftershave cream on or sodo crem i find is good.|||For the extremist versions of stubble rash might be best to do some proper research but I struggle with stubble rash so I can over a few suggestions to help reduce it, though it doesn't totally get rid of it:
Never wash with soap anytime before shaving, this dries your skin and is the worse thing you can do. Try washing with soap afterwards.
However, soaking your face with just water beforehand is very good, especially say a shower, as you're in the water for quite a while. Remember though not to use soap!
Don't put aftershave on your skin, put it on your collar or lower down underneath your neck at least.
I know it can be a pain when trying to look smart or whatever but I only shave every other day, and hardly at all over weekends unless I'm going somewhere special. Those few days rest can help.
That's about it from me!|||My man has the same trouble...if he uses a razor he comes out in bumps after a couple of days...If you don't mind spending a few extra 拢's each week I strongly advise you go to the barbers, they will do it with a cut throat razor. The finish will be loads better, you won't get the rash and what's more...your girlfriend will no longer have to suffer with stubble rash :-)|||Have you tried putting on nivea for men.|||Shave after a shower, use some proper shaving soap and use a super sharp single blade razor. All these can be purchased here : http://www.mankind.co.uk/ProductDetails.鈥?/a>
a bit expensive but the blades are sooooo cheap, it will pay for itself in a short while, and you can afford to keep the blades sharp. The razor is adjustable so you can match it to your skin and hiar type. Best thing I bought in a long time.
spend a few mins and read the reviews!!!|||There is a moisturiser on the market called; simple that sorted me out.|||#1 is right! I swear by this stuff--and I'm a girl, but I used to break out like crazy when I shaved my legs. It didn't matter what expensive razor or shave gel I tried. I finally googled "the best shave gel" and found this King of Shaves---well, it worked!!! I have not had even a tiny bit of irritation since. Try it! I promise you will love it! (oh, and a little goes a long way so it will last you a while)|||try using baby powder =]
apply it on and then shave. then wash it off.|||I use "King of shaves" gel ,it works great and its soothing.|||i use talcum powder on my face and shave dry. it helps with the shaving and also makes your face cool down.|||my guess is....your allergic to something that's in the shaving cream. try using basic soap and water...then apply after shave and use some after shave lotion

Clinique or Clarins moisturiser?
I cant decide between Clinique dramatically different moisturiser or Clarins multi active day moisturiser? I have normal/oily skin|||if you had to choose between the 2 DEFINITELY go the Clarins. Clinique are designed to compliment their face wash and toner and they strip your skin of all the good oils in an attempt to "wash it clean". Then your skin overproduces oil thus creating "the pimple". being a beauty therapist and make up artist i've seen many girls anihilate their skin by using product that hasn't moved with the times.
If you're willing to diversify, try dermalogica, guinot, or biotherm. their products are simple, in the same price bracket as clinique and clarins but are more effective.|||i have been using clinique's three step system for 6 months now, havent had a breakout since. my skin is combination dry-flakey/oily and very sensitive. go with clinique and do it at bonus gift time! :)|||i use clinique moisture surge and that is fantastic. its like a gel and its so nice and makes your skin feel fantastic.
but also, like that other girl said, you should try dermalogica... that stuff is F A N T A S T I C|||Clinique all the way!!!

Do clarins test on animals?
i dont like to use anything that tests on animals or uses animal tested ingredients! its so hard to find makeup. i usually go to the body shop and the health food shop.

Clinique is also nice and a little less pricey.

What is the best day and night cream?
I want to buy day and night cream but I don't know what is the best kind of cream in the market. I did a search and I found that a lot of girls like using clarins and clinique. Some of them don't prefer to use Clarins and they claim that it's not the best. If Clarins isn't the best which cream do you think is the best.
I just wanna something prevent the lines and wrinkles and make my skin shine and healthy.|||There isn't a "best", it's just what works for each person. Neutrogena is a great brand.
