I've noticed my skin hasn't been looking the best lately.. I'm starting to break out a little with little bumps. I must admit, I'm not at all consistent with taking care of my skin. I only start up my masks, cleansing and toning when I notice my skin isn't looking the greatest. And then I slowly stop when its looking really good. Since my favorite skincare products (from Avon) were discontinued, I have no idea what I should buy in terms of a good pore minimizing cleanser. Right now, I'm using Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque (I have a big tub of this that I've been using for a long, long time) and I always use Witch Hazel as a toner and then I have a few Estee Lauder moisturizers that I received from GWP's that I apply to my face. So I'm missing a cleanser. The other night, I used the Mint Julep Masque and Queen Helene's Oatmeal 'n honey natural facial scrub (to exfoliate) and afterward my skin was feeling so soft. The next day (yesterday) my skin looked so much better. I totally forgot how much I LOVE the mint julep masque. I also have Queen Helene's Grape Seed Extract Peel Off Masque, which is kinda fun. It dries to like liquid latex and you feel it off to reveal younger and refreshed skin. I can't tell if it works wonders, but you can feel the alcohol on your face with it, so you can kind of feel something going on with your face. I feel like anything helps. It definitely does make your face feel very cool and refreshed. I want to try all of Queen Helene's facial products, they seem really good. I also want to try the Aspirin mask, which has wonderful reviews. Just chop up a few Aspirin tablets, mix a bit of water with a bit of honey (you don't need the honey, but it helps stick.. and honey is good for your skin) apply it to your face, let it dry and rinse. I'm hopefully going to buy a small bottle, maybe at the local dollar store today. What are your favorite skincare products!? Cleansers, masks, etc?
