My wife puts some green scrub on my face when we're in the jacuzzi together. Don't ask me what it is.

they help because they ususlly will put a masque on your face that will be made of clay that will draw out the bacteria out of your pores. they do work, but you have to be consisitant in getting them.

you can do the same thing at home for much less though.

He prolly has dirt in the pores making the pores stand out. A good face mask should take care of that. I had lots of black spots on my nose and used one of those nose cleaning strips and my nose felt smooth and looked clean afterwards. Same concept except for the entire face.

I am surprised at the lack of posts telling the OP that only the worst kind of homosexual sissy boy would get a facial and the lack of kneejerk metro responses extolling the virtues of hetero skin care...

See a dermatologist, I did, made a BIG difference in the amount of zits I get. They recommended the following (which I use twice daily, except the Benzyl Peroxide, which I only use at night)
1. Prescription of Diffren (benzyl peroxide based).
2. MD Forte: Facial Cleanser II - MUCH better for your face than using bar soap; bar soap strips off a lot of "the good oils" that you need.
3. MD Forte: Facial Masque (twice a week)
4. MD Forte Facial Cream (in the morning)
5. Skin Rejuvenation Lotion II (at night)
6. Neutragena 30spf Skin Lotion (twice a day)

All the MD Forte stuff is Glycholic Acid based. It works well for me. I also use the Acne Spot Treatment by Murad, to help get rid of zits that are on my face. A facial scrub will also give your skin a nice glow, in addition to removing some of the dead skin that might be clogging your pores. It'll also help get rid of possible ingrown hairs, decreasing the chance of cutting yourself while shaving.

To help (partially) get rid of wrinkles, DDF makes a wrinkle cream that I've been using the last 3 weeks - it costs $80, but it's worth it. You can get samples of this and other facial products at stores like Sephora.

Try to wash your face twice a day using a Cleanser (such as in the shower). And replace your pillowcase weekly to prevent bacteria from collecting on your pillowcase (and your face). Try to avoid touching your face so you don't get pore-clogging bacteria on it.

Ok now that seems a little overboard and a bit gay.

Not really. It helps keep your skin looking good overall. Also, this was what was recommended to me by a Dermatologist to help with acne/zit control. For particuarly oily skin, it takes a lot more work to keep good skin vs. other types. Chemical peels use EXTREMELY high levels of glycolic acid, so using GA based products are useful in keeping dead skin/bad oils and crap stuck in your skin.

If you want the bare minimum to keep your skin in good condition: Benzyl peroxide, facial wash, facial moisturizer, (all twice a day), maybe a facial masque one of twice a week. Keeping your skin free of pimples and such requires daily maintenance to PREVENT them in the first place. I have probably 100 acne scars all over my face, I do this to help prevent even more popping up. I use a spot treatment gel as an emergency fix for pimples that pop up, the longer its around the more likely it is to get accidently popped and leave yet another scar.
