HELLO EVERYONE!

Wow, I havn't been on this forum for ages! Been way too busy.. hope I havn't neglected my skin. Sad

Anyway, could anyone recommend me products for

1. Removing dark undereye circles 0.0
2. Banishing post acne red marks
3. Using as masks - one to hydrate and another to draw out impurities (am currently using dermalogica, they are alright, but I just want to know if there are any WOW ones out there)

I'm guessing my skin type is dehydrated yet oily, i know, the worse of both worlds Sad

.
I'm VERY sensitive to new products. Eg: Skinceuticals Serum 10 and decleor ylang ylang oil can even break me out! So, i'm hoping for something natural yet great.

I need advice too! I'm a girl, and I play soccer under the most vengeful heat. I'm guessing that if I don't take care of my skin right, I'll start withering up before 30. Is it sufficient to use an spf 15 sunscreen with Jane Iredale Powder (which has spf too) over it? Or should I use a stronger sunblock? Which is best? Please let me know! THANK YOU!

I love EDS, its good to be back Wink

Hi Tynkerbell, welcome back, I don't know about you skin being neglected but I bet your credit card has Laughing

I know mine starts to smoke when I'm on here!!!!!

First of all yes I would use a high factor sunscreen when your playing football (the most exercise I get is typing!!!! Embarassed

) La Roche Posay and Avene are good ones. I'd advise the strongest factor you can find.
A goood mask is Dr Hauschka Rejuvenating Face Mask, this can be used as a moisturiser too and will help in clearinf the post acne marks.
I would advise you to try a tester of it first as you have sensitive skin - there is a tester kit for oily skin which contains a sample of the mask and you can also try the other wonderful products such as the cleansing cream:

Alternatively I find mixing Grapeseend oil with some Lavender essential oil works well as a mask, drawing out impurities and treating blemishes.
Zinc supplements will also help heal scars quicker.
Hope this helps and I'm sure there will be lots of other posts on this thread Very Happy

for banishing those post acne marks, Dr. H Rejuvenating mask should help

I love Thalgo Moisture Quenching Mask. It is a light cream texture and it smells really really great. I think it smells like how ocean would smell like.

For dark circles many other ladies here like PTR eye-creeam with Vitamin K.

Dr. H Rejuvenating mask can help with post acne marks. MD Formulation Illuminating Serum helps too.

Wildcat, is PTR Phytomer? I have dark eye circles nowadays b/c of lack of sleep due to baby and am in dire need of a good eye cream for circles. I currently use Decleor's Vitraoma but I don't think it's doing anything for my circles.

Thanks,
Anna

PTR stands for Peter Thomas Ruth, Essentialdayspa carries the line also.
You can do a search on their vit-k eye cream, I think there are previous reviews on this product. I also remember Mabsy using it for dark circles.

Thanks Wildcat. Man, it is sure pricey! $100 for .5 oz! Hmm...maybe I should invest in a good concelor instead. Know of any that will not accentuate my fine lines?

Hello hayleights_mom,
I don't use concealer underneath my eyes so I don't know much. I heard good reviews on Laura Mercier and bobbie browns have good concealers.
