| Author | Topic: Face wash soap? |
| Anonymous 09-12-2002 09:53 PM | DEAR MRS WAI, CAN YOU RECOMMEND A GOOD FACIAL SOAP/CLEANSER? RIGHT NOW I AM USING PURPOSE FACIAL SOAP. IT LEAVES MY FACE PRETTY DRY. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT NEUTROGENA SKIN CLEARING TARGETED ACNE TREATMENT FOR MEN? IS THERE A CERTAIN SOAP TO USE OR NOT TO USE? THANKS. |
| riverdown 09-12-2002 10:00 PM | I guess its better to used cucumber extract as wai advise to me ......and later used a walnut oil to moisturize your skin though Im not using a walnut oil cause I have an oily skin already no need to moisturise. I've been using cucumber extract as may facial wash for 5 4 days now I have'nt got any acne/pimple though it darkened my skin a little I guess that is cause by the natural oil produced by my skin(by the way the oilyness of my skin was minimize).....I also used neutrogena products like acne treatment they have I breakout every now and then...... |

| Anonymous 09-15-2002 01:53 PM | MRS. WAI, I FOUND A WEBSITE (NORASNATURALS.NET) THAT SELLS PURE ROSEWATER HYDRATING MIST. WOULD THIS BE A GOOD CLEANSER TO PURCHASE? I MEAN JUST SPRAYING A MIST OF ROSEWATER ON MY FACE WILL CLEANSE IT? THANKS. |
| Anonymous 09-15-2002 02:04 PM | OR WOULD SOME ROSEWATER GLYCERINE SOAP BE OKAY? |
| Wai 09-15-2002 03:12 PM | quote:And then you need a piece cotton wool / cloth to remove the rosewater and dirt from your face. quote:What are the exact contents of this soap? |
| Anonymous 09-16-2002 06:24 AM | MRS. WAI, I AM NOT TO SURE ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF THE ROSEWATER SOAP. I GUESS JUST ROSEWATER AND GLYCERINE, BUT TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE ILL GO WITH THE HYDRATING MIST. HOWEVER IF THE MIST IS USED WHERE DOES THE BOTLLED WATER COME INTO PLAY WHEN CLEANING MY FACE? YOU SAID WITH THE HYDRATING MIST I JUST SPRAY AND THEN WIPE OFF WITH SOME COTTON. WOULD I THEN RINSE WITH THE BOTTLED WATER OR VICE/VERSA? OR WOULD I USE THE WATER AT ALL? THANKS |
| Wai 09-16-2002 01:56 PM | quote:The 'mist' is just a more expensive replacement of the water... quote:You would first need to clean your face with rosewater or cucumber juice, and THEN use bottled water or 'the mist' to rinse off your face. (rosewater or cucumber juice, and then water or mist) |
| MoonRaeven 09-17-2002 08:34 AM | Does cleansing with rosewater or cucumber juice remove makeup? I am so frustrated right now....my face was clearing up really well and then whammo...explosion..only on the one side of my face. It is always near the cheekbones and jawline. I'm afraid that because I wash my face so often that I am making it worse. any suggestions? |
| Wai 09-17-2002 10:31 AM | quote:No, for that you need a makeup remover. But make sure to protect the skin against dehydration afterwards, by applying a drop of oil(walnut oil for example) to a somewhat moist skin. quote:did you consume any munch food lately? quote:that is possible indeed. Washing your face to often will dehydrate it, which may stimulate the skin to produce more sebum, to protect the skin against dehydration. The more sebum, the easier the sebum gets stuck in the sebum canals. You should maximally wash your face twice a day. (a simple rinse in the morning, and removing your make up in the evening) |
| Anonymous 09-17-2002 07:15 PM | Miss Wai, Regarding rosewater, is this a type of juice or extract? The item I found on the internet was a ROSEWATER HYDRATING MIST, I cannot seem to find a rosewater juice anywhere. I checked bath and body works and they didnt have it. However if just using the ROSEWATER HYDRATING MIST is okay I will go with that. Now with this ROSEWATER HYDRATING MIST, I would just spray it on and wipe it off, and thats that right? I would then not need to worry about using the mineral water when I clean my face right? I know I already asked you this question but I was kind of confused in your response. Just something I wanted to clear up. Thanks |
| Wai 09-21-2002 10:49 AM | quote:Extract. quote:Exactly; only after cleansing your face with cucumber juice, you need to rinse that off with water. BTW: if you say "mineral water", it means water HIGH in minerals, while you need water LOW in minerals; low-mineral water. |
| Anonymous 09-29-2002 10:52 AM | To anyone that would know: How could I get cucumber juice? What is the easiest way to juice a cucumber? Is it the same as juicing oranges? Please help Thanks |
| Wai 09-30-2002 02:33 PM | You need a blender/mixer or a juice extractor. If you have neither one, then you better buy a juice extractor, so that you can also make nice (non-acne causing) juices. Simply peel the cucumber and blend it in the mixer, or extract the juice by using the juice extractor. |
