I want better skin!

tUrRrRa · 05-21-2007, 12:21 AM

Lately my skin just looks so blah. It isn't very oily or dry, mostly regular and sometimes I break out on my forehead. However, it just looks dull and I look tired because of it. Sometimes it looks a little bit pinkish (which I don't think looks good on me, especially in pictures) so I HAVE to wear foundation and powder to help with that. Without bronzer and blush I just look dead and so tired. I just wish I could have more of a natural glow to my face! I have used masks and exfoliate, but maybe I just need new skincare or something else?

If any of you have any tips for fresh, glowing skin let me know! I don't want anything too expensive since I'm a college student, but of course if it's one item that works really good it's worth it!

try a product with AHA in it. it should help take away the dullness and even out your skin tone.

Thanks, I'll have to try that since I haven't before. Are there any AHA products that you recommend? I'm almost done with my moisturizer that I currently use so I definitely want to try out a new one and maybe a facial scrub.

I havent used this before (although Im thinking of trying) but I hear a lot of people like Alpha Hydrox products. I use their foaming facewash (which doesnt have any AHA's in it) but there an "AHA souffle" that a lot of people like. That on I think you can even find at like Walgreens. Thats the only product I ever see anymore in the store, otherwise you'd have to order it.

Drink lots of water, and get more sleep if possible - I always look better when I do that. Also There are lots of moisturizers out there with fine "sparkles" in them- they help a lot. There usually listed as "glowing" or "brightener".
Some people I know swear by the oil of olay vitamins but they are a little pricey.
