Help answer the question about skin care tips
I need facial stuff and skin care tips?I'd ask in Skin/Body, but no one will answer, since I never answer there.
So, I started school a few weeks ago, and my skin has really turned bad because I've been so stressed out and I haven't had time or energy to do any good skin care, and I need some major face stuff and stuff for skin in general. Help, anyone?
I just need a small list of some cleansers, masks, scrubs, toners, and moisterizers/lotions for sensitive skin. I've heard that the St. Ives stuff works well. Your opinion? I don't need a huge list. Also, what are some good skin care tips that don't involve too much.
Thank you. 
Wow. I got a lot more answers then I thought I would. Thanks everyone!!!

I usually use Neutrogena Oil Free it prevents and treats any acne without drying out your skin. Then an SPF 15 moisturizer such as Neutrogena Combination skin or OIL of OLAY ( I know) with SPF15. I would also put on a mask such as MINT or CLAY to tighten your skin and close any big pores you might have. Sensitive skin cream for shaving and you're set.
first start with washing your face more often, pimples are created from the oils in your skin. washing atleast twice a day will greatly reduce the outbreaks. Another way is to use an astringent on your face, you can use pure rubbing alcohol but not all skin types can handle it, if you need a gentler one try using 1 part witch hazel and 3 part water to make your own which is alot cheaper than buying clean and clear from the drug store but still the same effect.
An easy way to cover up and outbreak is to use eye drops on your pimple. Use the drops that are meant to reduce redness, I am not sure why this works but I read it in a magazine and have been doing it since. It only lasts for a few hours so you will have to do it atleast 3 times a day, but it makes them not noticable long enough to go on a date or whatever.
And I do not know of anyone using anti-inflammatory cream on pimples, so I cannot help you there!
-take omega-3 vitamins i just get the gummy kinds
.
wash your face with warm water and rinse with cold water (closes pores)
-only wash your face twice a day and never skip no matter how tired you are
-drink warm water with lemon in it for a bright clear complexion
-get flaxseed chips from trader joes or some health food store
-take vitamins again i take gummy vitamins cuz i throw up regular vitamins (yuck)
-drink chamomile tea
-dont cake your face with makeup
-drink half your body weight of ounces of water a day (i.e. if you weigh 120 pounds drink at least 60 ounces of water a day)
-clean your pillow case a couple times a week to get rid of the bacteria
-when you sleep tie your hair out of your face
-moisturize EVERY day with at least spf 15 in it i like aveeno cuz i have sensitive skin
-dont touch your face at all dont even rest your head on your hands while your sitting too much bacteria
-eat yogurt daily
-keep hair clean (make sure its not a grease ball) it will get all over your face
-to get rid of puffy eyes/dark bags in the morning wet a wash cloth with really cold water and lay over your eyes for 10 mins. you will look completely fresh and awake
- avoid anything with caffeine in it (dries out skin)
-exfoliate gently once a week
-wash your face in the shower the sink has hard water which promotes irritation. the shower uses softer water
-use a mask whenever you want for your specific skin type (dry skin-honey and milk oily-tomato sauce or lime juice acne prone- papaya juice or cucumber juice)
I agree with mukunda. Most skin care products are damaging to your skin. Not all are, but the well known ones are often quite nasty. Unfortunately the skin care industry is unregulated and there are ingredients in skin care products that you wouldn't want to know about. Some are known to cause cancer.
Here's some more interesting reading about that:

Many beauty products on the market have harmful chemicals in them; do your favorite beauty products contain any of these things?:
* Mineral Oil, Paraffin, and Petrolatum
I'd definitely suggest bringing along a toner ! Since they're made to deeply cleanse your pores (of dirt and oil), hydrate your skin, and remove dead skin cells, it would be PERFECT for you to use a few times a day to keep your skin clean &refreshed. Plus, this is one of the easiest products ever to use if you don't have much time because all you need to carry with it is a few cottonballs and you're set. :]

well you could start by using a face wash daily. moisturize your face daily…. and use sunblock.. a good sunblock is important. then twice a week go for a facial for men… they will cleanse your face with cleansing milk and scrub it…. u could try natural products like basil and aloe vera…
why dont you try a mask to pull some of the oils in your face out and like the other girl said try not to touch your face a lot…
i went to the doc for mine because i had the same thing and he prescribed me Benzaclin…im not sure if they still make it but after a year of using it i dont get pimples any more (well maybe just 1 or 2 around that time of the month)
St. Ives really does work.
Neutrogena, I believe? has an oil-free moisturizer. The "top" of mine is orange, if that helps.
I don't use much apart from those two.
EDIT: Clean & Clear products are a hit or miss, or at least to me.
One of their products is great when my face is really oily, but otherwise, it's too harsh & removes too much.
The only one I trust no matter what is the pimple cream thing. I can't think of the name. It comes in a small tube & is usually about 5 bucks.
You didn't name this, but oil strips/oil-blotting strips, which I believe are by Clean & Clear too, are great for during the schoolday. It removes excess oil without smudging anything.
