Thread: Skin Health Maintenance

I have used a Chinese facial cream for about 3 years. I went online to re-order and found out that it has been banned in my country as it is laden with Mercury! (man, I've been exposed to it!)

I've tried Estee Lauder creams, but I'm allergic to them, so I resorted to using extra virgin coconut oil as facial cream. I exfoliate once a week with an apricot anti - acne scrub it has salicylic acid. This works for me... I don't use make up everyday, btw...

It sounds like you may have some skin pigmentation issues, you may want to try M2 (formerly known as MaMa), which helps to exfoliate the skin and help speed up cell , turnover. They have 2 types, 12% and 20% strength, depending on your skin sensitivity.

As far as cleansers go, only use it if you have to remove makeup, since it will only dry out your skin, try something very basic like Purpose cleanser which is soap free, it can be found at any drug store. I personally really like and Use La roche posay effeclar foaming gel, its soap free, ph balanced and perfect for acne prone skin. I have very sensitive, combination skin and this is one of the few that doesent dry out or break me out.
