pamperme Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I have made one from Aloe gel, tea tree oil and distilled water..used it for several weeks...until I broke down and spent $45 on Proactive..I have oily/acne skin even in my 30's and just got fed up and splurged on it.I have also make the clay maskes which seem to reduce the look of pours but drys out the skin alot..they had a recipe on the WSP site..I followed it to a T and it STANK like vomit... I chose not to use the rest of it and pitch it..but I am sure if you search around on the net you can find a better recipe for a mask that you would leave on..let dry and rinse off.

MsDammit Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I use plain ol' witch hazel. Before I go to bed I just wash my face with soap and water, then wipe on some witch hazel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristinesShower Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I used Proactiv for about 2 years and I loved it - I did, but I got tired of using it...bored I guess lolWell, I tried some of the facial stuff at www.ablutions-spa.com and I can definitely say that her microderm abrasion stuff is JUST LIKE Proactiv, but actually it is alot gentler. I didn't have to use alot of moisturizer like I did with Proactiv and it made me feel better when I read her ingredients as opposed to Proactivs.I know she has a facial kit on her site that is worth every penny & I've successfully switched over to it and love every one of her products.

Saltbox Pantry Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I like to use Neutrogena Pore refining cleanser in the morning and in the evenings. I also use Neutrogena's oil free day moisturizer. At night I use a vitamin A night cream. I know eventually I will have to seek out another option as I get older, but for now it seems to work with my skin type which similar to yours.SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
