Skin Care Questions and Answers About Cucumber Cleansing Lotion
|
 |
I am a repeat Mario Badescu customer, and I currently use the Enzyme Cleanser, Glycolic Cleanser twice a week, Cucumber Cleansing Lotion and AHA and Ceramide Moisturizer. I have had problem skin in the past that is now under control due to prescriptions and your products. The only problem I have left is that I use Retin A 5 times a week and now that the weather is colder, sensitive areas of my skin sill dry out very easily. I will sometimes wake up w/very flaky skin, and no matter how much moisturizer I use, it remains flaky for a day or two. Can you recommend a moisturizer that I can either wear at night w/my prescription product, or a day time moisturizer that might help the flakiness without being problematic for my oily T-zone?...Read Response

Based on the information that you have provided regarding your skin type, I would recommend that you use the Seaweed Night Cream as on oil-free moisturizer before bedtime. Then as a daytime choice you may consider the Aloe Moisturizer (SPF-15). It is an oil-free moisturizer that helps to soothe sensitive, dry skin without clogging pores. I would also suggest the Herbal Hydrating Serum. It is an oil-free hydrating gel that can be applied on top of your moisturizer for an extra hydrating boost of moisture. This change should help reduce the dry, flakiness you are experiencing. If however, you still feel dry after adding these products, I would recommend changing your toner from the Cucumber Cleansing Lotion to the Seaweed Cleansing Lotion for the winter season. It is an alcohol free, witch hazel based toner that will remove oil and impurities without drying the skin.

| I am 30 years old and have very oily skin. I use oil-free products and after an hour or two at work my face is oily all over. My skin is prone to breakouts at times. Could you please let me know what products of yours may work; as in a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, mask, and etc.?...Read Response

Our customized regimens consist of specific products meant to help your various skin concerns. Being that you have oily skin, it is important to select a regimen that will help to control excess oil while it prevents breakouts. The Botanical Facial Gel is deep cleansing and refreshing for oily skin. Alpha-Hydroxy based formula help prevent build-up that can cause blackheads and pimples. Oily skin will be refreshed and deeply cleansed with the Cucumber Cleansing Lotion containing 4% Alcohol and soothing Cucumber Extract. It removes pore clogging residue and disinfects skins surface for thoroughly clean skin. Follow with the Control Moisturizer For Oily Skin to keep skin well hydrated and soothed. Contains Balsam Peru to help calm skin and reduce redness. If your skin is constantly oily and shining all day, you should use a clay based mask such as the Special Mask For Oily Skin to absorb and control excess oil output. For dull, congested skin, use the Glycolic Foaming Cleanser 2-3 times a week instead of the Botanical Facial Gel. Glycolic Acid helps to break down dead skin build-up from skins surface, reduce minor discoloration and leave skin radiant and smooth. The Drying Lotion is the perfect overnight spot treatment for surfaced whiteheads.
