on 9/8/2006 I have dry skin, but still get spots every now and then. The problem is gone since I use this method. First, I use steam (or go to a steam room) to open the poses on my face, use normal face cleaning products (do not use scrub because the stuff in it will stay in the poses!) to clean my face and wash with cold water afterward. Then I detox my face with mud. Wash it. Now the skin is baby soft, but dry. So the next step is a honey and lemon mask to gain moisture. Wash it off and put on a water based face lotion.
