Perfect skin?

How can I get perfect skin ? I have sensitive fair skin and ive been using dial anti-bacterial soap and its been working but I'm starting to break out again.... Any ideas?
Perfect skin?
It depends on your definition of perfect skin. If you're talking about magazine ads perfect, then forget it because those models are airbrushed. To get the best skin you can, though, make sure to use a face cleanser. Use a creamy one if you have dry skin, and a gel or foam kind if you have oily skin. I recommend the Neutrogena line of cleansers which you can get at any drug or grocery store. Be sure to moisturize daily and since you have fair skin use sunscreen daily before you go out to prevent damage from the sun.
Perfect skin?
Don't use a bar of soap on your face- not a good idea.
Reply:It's probably not what you want to hear but healthy diet and lots of water, at least 2 litres a day!!!
Reply:if ur still not happy with those over the counter products, see a dermatologist. they can perscribe u mild stuff that will stop breakouts, altho u'll still get zits sometimes.
Reply:The best answer is to try different ones and mix up your combo. I find myself changing mine every few months. I have had the best luck with Neutrogea though. I know they make a line for sensitive skin.
Reply:Get a good toner and when you get breakouts, use a maske once or twice a week. And make sure to wash your face daily with an acne fighting soap, not bar soap.
Reply:first of all


there's no such thing as perfect skin


but lots and lots of water


and no fatty foods


dove is very nice on your skin


it's not too strong of a soap
Reply:Dial is bad for your face. Try Neutrogena clear bar for face. Use the sensetive bar.
Reply:Drink water!





Its not the cure all for everything, but it definitely helps. Everytime you eat anything that is junk food, drink a glass of water at the same time
Reply:1. Don't overdo cosmeceuticals. With more and more beauty potions containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), salicylic acids, antioxidants, and retinoids, mixing a cleanser from one line with a scrub or daytime moisturizer from another, then a night cream from yet another, can lead to over-exfoliation and irritation, says Deborah S. Sarnoff, M.D., associate clinical professor of dermatology at the New York University School of Medicine, in New York City. This can add up to a real problem, especially for women with olive and darker complexions, who are more prone to discoloration when their skin is irritated. To play it really safe, stick with one line of products which are formulated to work together. If you use any prescription products, such as Renova, ask your dermatologist to advise you on how to combine prescription treatments with over-the-counter cosmeceutical products.





2. Shake your booty. Twenty to 30 minutes of any aerobic exercise will give you a glow. Exercise increases blood flow, which brings more nutrients to the skin, says Sarnoff. But beware -- the buildup of oil and perspiration can result in sweatband acne, folliculitis, and prickly heat. The solution: Shower as soon as possible after working out.





3. Don't get intimate with the phone. Constant rubbing on the mouthpiece may lead to rashes around the chin and mouth, says Alexa Boer Kimball, M.D., M.P.H., assistant professor of dermatology at Stanford University Medical Center, in Palo Alto. Hold the phone away from those areas when talking, and clean it often with a mild soapy solution or rubbing alcohol.





4. Check your birthday suit for spots. Any sudden or suspicious-looking bump, mole, or other growth is reason to see a dermatologist. But as skin-cancer rates rise, having a full body check by a professional is crucial -- especially for those of us in the baby-oil-and-iodine, pre-sunscreen generation. "People in a high-risk group -- having a personal or family history of skin cancer, a lot of moles, fair skin, and/or light eyes or hair -- may need regular checkups starting in their teens, and probably no later than age 35," says Randall K. Roenigk, M.D., professor and chairman of the department of dermatology at the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota. Even if you're not in a high-risk group, the American Cancer Society recommends that between the ages of 20 and 40, people have a cancer-related checkup, including a skin exam, every three to four years. Once you hit your 40s, begin having a cancer-related checkup, including a skin exam, every year. You should also be doing monthly self-exams to keep an eye out for changes and growths. (For step-by-step instructions on how to do a head-to-toe self-exam, call the American Cancer Society at 800-227-2345; ask for a free copy of their brochure, "What You Should Know About Melanoma." Or visit www.cancer.org.)
Reply:you buildup dead skin cells on your skin especially with a bar soap which is a bit drying for the face and body.. exfoliate once a week with st. ives apricot scrub to get rid of these pore-clogging dull skin layers and clear your skin.
