@RiceARonia are you talking about the enzymatic one or the glycolic acid? If you're talking about the enzymatic one, I'd use that once and then maybe a few days later, the physical cloth. So in one week, I'd exfolite twice in two different ways. But to be honest, this particular enzymatic one doesn't really play a huge part. I could do without it.
Can you do a tutorial on how to physically exfoliate your skin with a wash cloth? I'm really interested but I would like to know the right way to do it.
@khansaaab I don't really do anything special actually. I just use cleanser on the cloth and then go around in circles on the face. Just don't overdo it. Just do it enough to get two circles in each area you're going around. Then rinse.
i want to try bb creams too...i tried lohashill but i didnt like it, I found there was no coverage to it and it made my face sweat so it might have been clogging my pores...do you know of any cruelty free bb cream brands?
@CreeWoman26 I haven't looked into many brands. It's difficult since they're not North American. But I am pretty confident that Amore Pacific brands should be (IOPE, Laneige) and Etude House. Perhaps Tony Moly. This isn't from my own research, but Anna (used to be colorlover18) checked into it. So I can't be 100% sure but am fairly confident that they are.
@melissainthecity No I haven't. Some rave about it, some think the rave is overhyped. I will never try it because they've recently been acquired by the company Coty, who uses animal testing.
@27vampyr grooming one will do. I have really bushy eyebrows and i was thinking about plucking them but i dont want t over trim them. and thanks for replying!
what's in your homemade toner? that 100% pure product sounds interesting! have you tried apple cider vinegar to fight acne? it really helps me..I also think its important to detox the body, which I'm doing with kombucha. ACV did the same thing when I drank it, but it was hard for me to drink it because it was strong and kind of burned. Kombucha does the same thing supposedly, so I will keep my fingers crossed.
@veggiebeauty I have a video up on what I made in my toner but i've tweaked it since then. It's green tea steeped in rice water. I added 15 drops of tea tre oil, 10 drops of lavender oil and 10 drops of grapefruit oil. I keep it in the fridge to preserve it. I've never tried the apple cider, perhaps I'll give it a go. I def really want to get off the benzoyl peroxide. It's so bad for the body. What is kombucha?
I don't like the wipes either...its more wasteful too. I really like using dr. bronners as my cetaphil substitute. Its very gentle and full of natural ingredients. I also do a precleanse with olive oil to get all the makeup off first. that's good you don't get milia around your eyes. As a sub for that neutrogena, there are lots of vegan bar soaps on etsy and cupertino has some nice ones too.
@veggiebeauty I use dr. bronners as a body wash and love it! I have it in lavender. I think the castille soap is super drying though for my face. I noticed some neat glycerine bars at my grocery store for pretty cheap and it was from a local cruelty-free brand. I'll definitely be picking it up when I run out of my neutrogena one. I ordered a Avalon Organics cleasing milk to replace the cetaphil so I'll be doing a review on it soon :)
what is your toner made of?

I know you said you exfoliate once a week. Do you do a physical exfoliant one week & then use a chemical the next...how do you alternate them?
