I knew someone that used to work for Clinique and told me to never use their skincare range. Apparently they're very harsh and they used them to wipe down surfaces and stuff :/
^ Really? When I first started using it, it did dry out my skin a lil but after a few weeks my natural oils came back and my pimples had cleared. Nothing else really works on me so I have to use it...maybe its harsh for some people but it works well on me
cleanser: Body Shop's tea tree oil face wash
toner: Clinique's clarifying lotion 4 for very oily skin, from their 3 step system.
moisturiser: I have very oily skin so I skip this one out, but I do use Loreal's UV perfect sunblock which is specifically for Asian markets and sometimes Body Shop's aloe vera day and night cream
i dont use any cleansers as such
just my face wash
besan a few times
orange peel scrub once in a while
and ONLY when i get zits i use toner clean n clear one :)
still i have a poor skin these days with all the disgusting marks lol

Raania, u still need to keep well moisturised even though u have an oily skin. I have oily skin too but I use Clinique's which is oil free, so it feels very lightwight and doesnt get greasy at all.

Mashallah, u dont need to do much to ur skin! Once ur rid of the marks ur sorted! :)
MissChievious are you talking about clinique’s DDML? it comes in a lotion as well as gel for dry skin. I do have a sample tube of it, its kinda ok and doesn’t have great reviews on the net. However, laura mercier’s flawless skin cream is sooo good but it costs something like a $100
Cleanser - Cetaphil (the CVS or Walgreens equivalent 'cause it's cheaper and has the same ingredients)
Toner - Witch Hazel
Moisturizer - whatever's on sale that isn't too heavy. Often, I'll use Olive Oil or pluck a leaf off my aloe plant and smear the juice on my face. Both the oil and the aloe vera juice are excellent moisturizers. That's for night time though. After cleaning in the mornings, I'll slap on something with an SPF of 15 or 30 (depending on whether or not I'm going out). Again, the brand doesn't make too much difference so long as the cream isn't too heavy. My skin isn't overly sensitive.
Clinique do 2 types of that moisturiser, the lotion is for dry skin and the gel is for oilier skins. I use the anti-blemish one though so I wouldn’t be able to comment on DDML :S
And we seem to have a lot of besan fans here...how is that used then? :)
I use besan once a day too and it is amazing. Simply mix besan, a little bit of haldi and lemon or rosewater and apply it on the face. Wait for it to dry and then scrub it of. Make sure u moisturise afterwards though beacause it dries our ur skin and can cause breakouts if u don't moisturise!
