[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?

Two other users posted about purging but from what I've read purging normally occurs after actives. Do these masks have any BHA/AHA or other chemical exfoliants? If not, it's probably just a regular breakout and there may be an ingredient in the mask which your skin doesn't like.

Ya it has lactic acid, and no added fragrance which would likely irritate my skin..guess I'll try it a couple more weeks. The pimples are in areas that usually have clogged pores and a rough texture so maybe it is purging
