• Answer:

  *******************FOR FACE AND BODY**************** First of all you need to shower more. Make sure you do everything first while showering, then at the end shave. This will give your legs more time for the poors to open. DO NOT USE FLOWERS. You know those plastic things that look like flowers that people use to scrub their skin. It sounds like you have senstive skin, so don't use them. Wash cloths and flowers, in time will save all that dirt and oil, so don't use'm. The best thing to do is wash with your hands. It's very important to exfoliate. The best thing you can do is buy Oil- Free Acne Stress Control. Power-Cream Body Wash. Don't let the word cream scare you, because it's the strongest acne wash I've ever used, it's green, has very tiny sand particles, and is more like a gel texture than a cream. This is very powerfull stuff so if you find it to drying, buy the Oil Free acne wash pink grapfruit scrub value size, the one with the small white sand in it, not the Body Clear Body wash pink grapefruit (Which is the large size like the other body washes), cuz this only has the small gel like beads and those will not exfoliate. Do not buy the brown/tanish color of body scrub either, theirs something wrong with that soap even though it does have sand in it, do not buy the brown. Do not buy any other sand exfoliaters either because they could be too abrassive. You need to use the 2 neutrogena brands I mentioned above with the small white sand particles. After a while of using these and showering, not taking baths, ALOT, because you would just be scrubbing in dirt from the bath water. If you like to shave in the bath fill up a HOT bath, take a shower.Then get in the bath and shave. The best thing to shave with is barbasol original in the red can. Not Barbasol in the green or yellow cans which have aloe and skin conditioners, because they can be irratating on sensitive skin. And make sure you are buying a new venus razor every week, because an old razor could cause rash and bumps. Also when it comes to shaving your thighs use nothing but water, your skin is more sensitive on your thighs, so lightly shave them with water, your hair on your calves is coarse so you need to use shaving cream for this. Also if you get acne on your face use the pink grapefruit scrub, even if you dont have acne or break out every once in a while. You need to exfoliate your face atleast twice a week. If your acne is really bad go for the green stuff for a week to really kill the acne. Then as your skin gets smoother switch to the grapefruit. The good thing is when using this stuff you don't need much a little more than a pea size portion is good enough. Second lightly scrub your face for about 15-20 seconds untill its good and foamy. Just like it says on you shampoo bottle rinse and repeat follow these same guidlines when washing your face. You really don't need to do this for shampoo because natural oil is good for your hair, so washing once is effective. But you do need to do this for your face, because most of us have oily faces/T-zones. Do not scrub to hard the first time because you will be scrubbing dirt and oil in. Then wash and condition your hair. ( put your hair into a bun while it's dry) and dont get it wet through out the whole shower ( my hair is very long so if I get it wet and put it up its a pain in the neck. ) It's much easier to shower when your hair is up and dry. Then shampoo AND CONDITION your hair. Then using a small amount of grapefruit or acne stress control wash your face again, and now you can start scrubbing. Rinse, then rinse your hair again, to make sure all the bubbles are out. Also I recommend buying a light weight form of conditioner, because conditioner with too much moisturizers will get on your face and can cause you to break out. As long as you blow dry your hair half way and not all the way, it wont cause a lot of damage. Hope this helps!
