Title: Skin Care Tips For Asians
Post by: Anonymous on November 11, 2012, 04:42:31 PM
1. Drink lots of water! Doesn't necessary have to be 8 cups, it really depends on your own body size. Just drink enough that you never feel thirsty, because once you start feeling thirsty, you're already dehydrated, and that means your skin is suffering too!

 

2. Sleeping early helps, but in today's society, that's not always possible. Rather, just get good quality sleep whenever you can. That reduces the chances of outbreak and of course eye bags and dark circles.

 

3. Exercise - when you sweat, it also helps rid of toxins in your body, but remember to wash your face thoroughly afterwards!

 

4. Don't touch your face with your hands all the time and wash your hands as soon as you get home.

Take a multivitamin and vitamin C on a daily basis..



It reduces breakouts and heals acne scars a lot faster.

My face generates a lot of oil. Have to cleanse every morning and night. At the same time it's really dry. Have to use moisturizer like a girl. I have tried many anti-oil or oil absorbing lotion, matte gel, or oil control moisturizers. None of them really worked well. Have been using Garnier's shine control lotion. Clinique had a really good oil control hydrator, but it was discontinued. Then I started using the one for girls, but that was discontinued as well. End of the world for me. Having oily face is so depressing. How could a girl ever kiss me.

Vancouver Guy try this routine for oily skin.



1) Use a gentle cleanser when you use a harsh cleanser it begets oily skin.

 

2) Find a cleanser that has these ingredients benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or beta-hydroxy acid

 

3) Make sure you use a toner. (oil-free)

 

4) Give yourself a facial once a week. You don't have to go to a salon for this. Just apply a clay mask, apply, sit and wash off

 Then soak a rag in hot water and place it over your skin and let the steam seap through your skin.

 

5) Lastly, use a moisturizer, don't think because you have oily skin you don't need it so use a good one.

 

A positive aspect of having oily skin is that it ages slower than others because of the extra sebum it produces.

Something else you can try is Dead Sea Salt shower gel/cream or a similar product. It's not cheap, but I heard the results are good.

Himalayan sea salt is also good :) good in your diet also.  



http://www.livestrong.com/article/26690-health-benefits-himalayan-salt/

"Acne



Himalayan salt aids in certain disorders of the skin such as acne. It works by drawing out toxins. The toxins that are in the body as well as under the skin can be one of the causes of skin disorders such as acne. Himalayan salt can be purchased in the form of a bar and can be used to wash the face. It can also be dissolved in water and used as a face wash. There are also recipes available online and at health food stores for making facial scrubs that can also assist in the treatment of acne."

It's good stuff, likely better for you than dead sea salt with the good minerals in it.

Taste pretty good also :) I have a large bag of it.

Hi Blue, the Dead Sea Salts I used are topical lotions only. They are not to be taken orally.



My husband gave me some for Christmas in 2010 and I liked it.



Though it's not as magnificent as the sales people say it is..



My daily routine is more effective for healthy skin.

Lol, VancouverGuy



Applying lotion right after you step out of the shower seals in the moisture that your skin has just absorbed..



Since hands are often the first indicators of aging, invest in a heavy moisturizer to keep in your bag, car, and office.

Tomato is good for acne ;-) it has lots of Vitamin A, and C, as well as antioxidants.

blend some up daily for about a week, and spread on your face for an hour a day, it should clear it up.

Just rinse it off with warm water, and pat dry.

How about some unrefined extra virgin olive oil for dry skin, and eczema :-)

After showering rub some in to lock in moisture, it has vitamin E also.

The ancient Romans used to use it .

i have a little chuckle at this thread because, having dated many asians and married one i have to say they have the most beautiful skin of any females i have met....not sure how or why you would improve on that...i guess maintenance is part of it (she loves the saunas, massages and beauty places (hair, nails, skin))...but unnecessary....my wife and i are the same age and she looks 30.....lucky me

I have seen some with skin that looks like fine porcelain, very beautiful, and others with darker skin that's so nice also, but still some need help, as do we all.

I think diet helps them a lot, maybe staying away from the bad fats like in a lot of red meats.



Shen Li, a lot of White woman care a lot about their skin, but have been brainwashed into believing mack-up adds, and Cowsmopolitan magazine.

All that stuff they use is poison, and not to mention the sun worshiping ones.

I have to say my mom looks younger than most her age, but she don't use all that stuff on her face, and sun bathe till shes rawhide.

Me I look a little old, but I did used to have outdoor jobs a lot. I still look young for my age though.



I can see where Acne would make your feel that way, would me also.

I have very dry skin myself so that makes me feel very self-conscious

That's because we care more about our appearance than frumpy old white women. I would be embarrassed to leave the house the way too many of them do.

lol no kidding......i lived in Seoul for 8 years and traveled all over asia.....and i can say i don't remember ever seeing a woman wearing a pair of dirty sweatpants with some disgusting slogan(like Juicy)  on them at any time..it just would not happen...asian women have more pride and self respect for themselves than NA women...hair, nails ,makeup,clothes, jewellery, lexus and then out the door ......very sexy

Thanks Blue and here's another natural way treatment for acne prone skin.



Recipe: Light Moisturizer for Oily and Acne-Prone Skin

½ cup 100% pure aloe vera gel

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

12 drops of lavender essential oil

5 drops of rosemary essential oil

3 drops of tea tree essential oil



Stir aloe vera gel and olive oil together.



Add essential oils drop by drop and gently stir into mixture.



Pour the mixture into a bottle with a squeeze-style dispenser cap and keep tightly closed.



Gently shake before each use since separation may occur.

That is an excellent suggestion Blue.



I saw this online, but I don't know anyone who has tried it.



Sugar and Oil Scrub Recipe

Ingredients

-1 Cup Grapeseed oil (This was my preference, you could use any light oil of your preference as a 'base' oil for your mixture.)

-2 Cups of White Sugar (I used regular white granulated sugar, you can use any sugar you like. Except for confection sugars, as they will just dissolve in the oil

-20 Drops of Essential Oils. (Use as many drops of each as you like. This number is simply what I used, but you may have a lower potency of oil and would like to use more or less.)

-Air tight Jar(s)



I poured ¾ of a cup of grapeseed oil into a mixing bowl and added about 30 drops of coconut oil, 4 table spoons of fresh pineapple juice and 2 pinches of ginger powder. I mixed the oils together and then mixed the full 2 cups of sugar into the oils. I kept the other ¼ cup of grapeseed oil on the side from the beginning. After mixing the sugar and oils together, it should be slightly mouldable and there should be a bit of loose oil in the mixture. If there is not enough oil in it simply add some of your grapeseed oil you set on the side. Similarly, if there is not enough sugar, add some more sugar.



Take the clean jar(s) you have chosen, pour half of your grapeseed oil that is left over into the bottom of the jar, then add the sugar scrub into the jar and you can pour the rest of the grapeseed oil on top. This extra oil will ensure that any sugar that did not soak up enough oil during your mix get's it. ?



This sugar scrub along with some lifestyle changes I suggested made a HUGE improvement in the eczema for my friend that I made it for. She is just happy she doesn't have to worry about if she could be disrupting her blood pressure while treating her eczema.

Hello Leopardsocks, when I had my blog I focused on health and beauty advice for women, but much of it also applies for men.



You live in Australia, so are you using sunscreen with a UV minimum of 30?



Are you moisturizing? Dryness exaggerates signs of aging in the face and the body and moisturizer will help.



Six to eight cups of water a day will help keep your skin hydrated, giving skin better tone and a more youthful looking appearance.

I just tried the honey & oat 3 in 1 scrub mask from the body shop. The mask made my skin feel so good, so relaxed. I left it on for about half an hour while I watched tonight's long Shaytards vlog. My face feels so moisturized and smooth. Like omg you know.

I have actually tried that sugar, and oil, but no essential oils, it didn't work on my skin at all.  

I have really bad dry skin so likely I needed something more.

Maybe to live in a tropical paradise someplace :)

Been using coconut oil on a spot for a few months now, helps a little. It's real good for conditioning your hair if it's dry.

Australians dont use sunscreen so much. Because we cover up. Too many have died of skin cancer, so we avoid harsh sun.



I use Clinique M Lotion!!!!



I drink 6 to 8 DRINKS a day... 8-)

Four minutes of rubbing oil all over the face, followed by two minutes of foaming cleanser, and rinsing with four minutes of water..



Cleansing with oil before using face wash is known as double cleansing..



Taiwanese model Lin Chi-ling believes strongly in face massaging..



Moisturize down to the neck, apply from the center of the face in upward motions, patting it rather than rubbing it will help it absorb..



Warm up the moisturizer in your hands before application to encourage absorption..



Dehydration is the enemy...facial mists are extremely popular to keep skin moisturized throughout the day.
