? about Queen Helene's [queen helene] [dries]

I did this and used it a few times, but it really dries my face to the point where it makes the red and start flaking. Has anyone else this problem?

Reply:Update on the mint julep mask since my last post:

I am really beginning to like this product. I have been getting good results using it every two or three days. I leave it on for about l5 min. and then wash it off. At first, my skin resisted it, but after about the third time, the irritating effects disappeared. I like the way it tightens my pores and I think it does help eliminate breakouts. A few blackheads have come out after using this, but my pores have been plugged for so long it will take months of intensive efforts to get them all to surface and stop filling up again. I think the jojoba oil is helping all this along too, and helps balance the ph of my skin, despite some additional oil.

I also have a nice rosy glow to my skin now. The glow is more in my cheeks and not just red all over and blotchy. I actually look much better without makeup now.

Reply:I have an oily nose by everywhere else on my face is dry. And yep, I used the Mint Julep mask… but I guess I can continue to use it just as a spot treatment.

Thanks!

Reply:Which Queen Helene's product line did you buy? In Sally Beauty Supply, I saw another type of scrub/cleanser, but went with the Mint Julep. If you have dry skin, I wouldn't recommend that you use the Mint Julep, as it is made to dry out pimples. I love my Queen Helene's.. it's probably just not for your skin type. Take a look at their Cocoa butter cleanser. (I think that's what it was?) Maybe that will be better for you..

Reply:My skin is oily, so drying it out wasn't the problem. I did have redness and swelling however. I'm almost afraid to try it again. I think I may have been allergic to it.
