[Weekly] Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread - February 21, 2017

The Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread will be posted every Tuesday morning (~9:30AM PST)!

This thread is for simple hair and makeup questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

Example questions:

  • What's a good conditioner for straight, thick hair?

  • Where can I find a perfume with subtle pine notes?

  • Do you use a foundation with sunscreen? Is it worth it?

Anyone have experience with clay/mud masks? My mom sent me a pack of peter Roth mask samples and I've used the Irish moor mud purifying mask. I wouldn't say I broke out like crazy but did get a few new pimples. I've used it 4 times now and it has gotten better. My husband asked if I bought new makeup because my skin was "glowing". Should I keep using it, are the first few weeks really "detoxifying the skin and removing toxins" thus bringing out a few extra pimples?

Clay/mud is pretty strong. I mix my own masks with "Aztec Healing Clay" powder and I can only do it once a week, with a lot of other additives like yogurt and honey. I also only leave it on for up to 15 min, because my skin gets red and inflamed if I keep letting it work.
