Cleaning face with alcohol, yay or nay??

[acosta2]

I heard that cleaning your face with alcohol can leave scars, but I also heard it cleanses it really well.

I have yet to actually try it since I just use Noxzema and regular soap, but I was curious if it really works?

It will dry your skin out. It's too harsh for the skin on your face.

It will if you do it too much in one day. Once a day = Ok.

 

[bhpbadboi]

I heard Astringent is alittle better on the skin!

Using "regular" soap on your face is a bad move as is using alcohol on your face. Chances are if you can buy it in a chain store it's not goodfor your face either (Noxzema).

Even once a day is not okay. It is much too harsh for your face.

Try a toner such as the Clinique clarifying lotion:

It is much less harsh on your face as they have different formulas for different skin types, but still cleans very well.

try witch hazel

 

[gordon gartrelle]

That instantly removes the natural oils and moisture from your skin (which is important in order to keep it healthy) and practically burns off your epidermisand also affects the layer right below (dermis). It's in no way good for you. Not even once a day. For small areas it may not be as harmful, but youshouldn't be cleaning large parts of your skin with alcohol.

Yeah try witch hazel. It's an astringent which contains some alcohol but it doesn't dry out your skin.

Yup yup...Use face-wash in the shower, then when u get out of the shower apply Witch Hazel on a cotton-ball and apply to your face and neck...

My face is as smoooooth as milk

 

[rasmekpeace]

try a bottle of 151, it will leave a deep burn but it's better than a chemical peel, or better yet, try Everclear.

everyone here is really not answering the question...

it depends on you...

some people respond really well to alcohol on there face in relation to getting rid of acne...

it depends on your skin...

for me alcohol works really well...

 

[mw2889]

I use clean & clear in the shower and OXY cleansing pads after to keep my baby-face.

salicylc acid (sp)

if you can get it in a clear gel thats perfect...

sometimes the face washes aren't as affective...

 

[ii2cky]

try tooth paste

 

[throwbacksinsf]

Just use the Proactiv kit. Works for me and preserves my sexy.

I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Try witch hazel with a good cleanser. The thing is your pores are open, and you need to foucus on closing them and cleansing them. Cold water is good for thattoo.
