With so many self cleaning products on
the market, it's hard to know which ones to pick. In my experience,
even going with a product that has good reviews doesn't mean it will
work for you. I have tried several shampoos, body washes, and face
wash cleansers over the years and I thought I would share my thoughts
and recommendations on them here.
I have been a fan of Suave for a long
time, mainly because their products are reasonably priced. I was
using Suave Daily Clarifying shampoo for a long time, but eventually
decided to upgrade to the premium 2 in 1 professionals brand.
Overall I have been very pleased with this product. It has a nice
scent and texture and you can get it just about anywhere for about
$2-3 depending on the size. I have used Suave 2 in 1 for head to toe
wash including hair, face and body. Overall it works pretty well.
My face gets very oily throughout the
day and I do have trouble with blemishes and clogged pores. I wash
my face daily and blot it to get the oil off throughout the day.
Still, my skin tends to get peely after I wash it. Because of this I
thought I would try Suave - Humectant Moisture.
I thought this would help my skin be
less dry, but it doesn't seem to make that big of a difference. I
know this is shampoo and not face wash, but I thought I would try it
anyway. It is cheap like most Suave products which I like. The
negative about this one is that the smell is not good. I would
describe it as a cough medicine type smell which is not pleasant. I
probably would not buy it again because of this.
Face Wash:
As I mentioned before I have oily skin
so I have a lot of trouble keeping it clean and nice looking. I have
done research on many face wash products and have tried a couple
including Cetaphil and St, Ives.
I tried this after reading a lot of
good reviews about it. Although this one is not specifically for
oily skin, many people said it was better than the one for oily skin,
so I thought I would try it. In the store it is very expensive
compared to what I am used to. I paid about $8 for the small bottle
of Cetaphil cleanser. So I tried it for a few days and so far I
don't really like it. It does not lather and makes your face very
grippy when you put it on, so it's hard to actually spread it on your
face. After you rinse it off, your face still feels oily again which
is odd. The scent is ok, kind of bland. I think is has helped my
skin be less dry compared to the Suave shampoo, but considering the
high cost, I probably wouldn't buy it again.
This facial cleanser by St. Ives is
supposed to help with blemishes and blackheads. It got good reviews
so I gave it a try. Immediately you will notice the texture which
feels like lotion mixed with sand. Maybe the roughness is supposed
to help exfoliate your skin, but personally I don't like washing my
face with sand. It gets all over you and it is hard to get off. The
smell of the product is ok, kind of fruity. As far as cleaning the
face, again just ok, nothing special. My main problem with this
product as mentioned before is the grainy texture. I would not
recommend it.

other shampoos or face wash products, leave a comment below.
