Does the clinique skin care products work / help to get clear skin?
What are the ingredients? Many beauty products on the market have harmful chemicals in them; do your favorite beauty products contain any of these things?: * Mineral Oil, Paraffin & Petrolatum – Petroleum products coat the skin like plastic, clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins, which in turn accumulate and can lead to dermatological issues, like slowing cellular development, which can cause you to show earlier signs of aging. Suspected cause of cancer & Disruptive of hormonal activity. * PARABENS – Such as methyl- propyl- butyl- & ethyl- parabens: Widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic industry (including moisturizers). An estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products contain parabens. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities – mimicking estrogen – and interfere with the body’s endocrine system. * Phenol carbolic acid – Found in many lotions and skin creams. Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma
In general, my skin is pretty clear. I use clinique toner and moisturizer. I’m not a big fan of their face soap because it feels like I’m not actually using anything. I only use their toner because my mom got it for me for christmas but their moisturizer is AMAZING. I recommend using an oil free face wash. Neutrogena is good. And any brand toner, I wouldn’t waste your money on expensive clinique toner. But its definitely worth the money to get the dramatically different moisturizer. Of course your best bet is always to see a doctor or a dermatologist because they know skin better than I do. You can also go to www.skinid.com/neutrogena and they’ll give you a personalized skin care regimen. Hope this helps!
