I agree also--unless the lotion specifically says on the label that it's noncomedogenic, it'll clog your pores.
I got a facial on Friday afternoon & she really read me the riot act b/c of my pores--said I needed to do more than just wash my face w/soap & water when I got home from work, first I had to use makeup remover & be sure all the makeup was removed, & then wash w/soap & water. Funny b/c I always wash my face until the water runs clear, apparently that's not enough.
Also she said to exfoliate once a week, which I tend to avoid b/c I'm trying to prevent my skin from drying & I always thought this was for people w/oily skin. She said exfoliating gets rid of the dead skin & helps new skin regenerate, so it actually helps keep skin from drying out.
<sigh> The older I get, the more complicated, time comsuming & expensive my skin care gets.
