Call it "moist" or soft, but spring's around the corner, a nigga tryin to get right for the ladies :D

Recently, Ive found that my face has been unusually weary & dull looking, and lacks the vibrance that was once there before.
clogged pores, fine wrinkles,uneven tones, etc :smh:


For those with experience, which procedure did you go for? and what OTC products do you use to maintain your face?

What are some pros & cons you've experienced?

Facials. I first got one in Nordstroms the company Jack Black was giving them out. I was hooked after that.

I say use natural stuff. I don't like a lot of chemicals within my personal grooming products.


Remember grown men do what they want.

Facials, massages are worth their weight in gold.

Get whatever you need done to make yourself look and feel better. Forget what women want do it for you. Do You go to work for women so they can see your lifestyle? NO

I got a facial a few years ago. I worked in a kitchen when I was in college and the grease clogged my pores. That shit helped a lot.

Good looking! shit ainnt cheap though :smh:

and according to the reviews, it dries out your face. Not a good thing, since my skin's naturally dry. I'm trying to make it softer, not drier :confused:
 
Can anyone recommend any good mud mask on the market? Preferably one i can use overnight that doesnt dry you out
 
Cheap and inexpensive scrub: St Ives Medicated or Apricot scrubs. Great for exfoliation of the face.

I use the Proactive mask overnight about once a week and use pure shea butter for moisturizing year round.... Good luck with your search, I wont be responding any further in this thread. HAN made it slightly weird...:hmm:

Clinique has a product that I'm trying it...dark spot corrector...for uneven tones and blemishes and tighter looking skin...shit is expensive @ $73 for 1.7 oz...claims to be stronger or as strong as prescription shit so we'll see...just started using it a couple days ago...2 weeks for early results...12 weeks for full results

next time you go to the dr you should pick up the prescription stuff... over there you can get it no script for like 15 bucks. I always pick up two tubes of the retin A when i travel to an island.

I used to use retin A back when my face was really bad...I don't think it worked well for me...my shit isn't too bad now...but drinking hard lack of sleep is leading to stress which causes the few breakouts that I have
