I have really stubborn acne and was wondering what kind of fash wash you grils would suggest. As well as the best shampoo or hair treatment for healthy hair. I've always just used what was cheepest to buy.

Re: Hair and Skin
I love pantene products....they are a bit more expensive but I purchase them at Costco or BJ's and get larger containers for less money. They leave my long thick hair looking healthy and beautiful.
Hope this helps.

For hair, I recommend Nioxin, it works to have stronger healthy hair. It's a little pricey but after 2-3 months, you will notice a difference.
I also had to take a prescription for my acne at one point. I was having trouble right around my jaw line because it was just awful right there no matter how much I made sure to get make-up off and all that. The dermatologist told me that a lot of younger women often have trouble breaking out there because of something to do with hormones. So the dermatologist put me on something called Spironalactone (I think that's how its spelled) which was actually developed to be a blood-pressure medication but when they did the drug trials they figured out all it did was clear up acne. I'm of course not saying "go to the doctor and get this", I'm just saying that there are other options than taking antibiotics (because I took those before as well, and they didn't help me).
For hair: I try to use leave-in conditioner when I can. A lot of brands make a spray that you put on when it's damp. I usually don't do that if it's in the mornings though because my hair gets dirty easily, so I typically only do that if I shower at night and will be showering again the AM. Another trick I learned from my hair stylist: before you go to bed at night, take regular conditioner, put it all in your (dry) hair, put on a shower cap, and sleep with it in. It's kind of funky sleeping with a shower cap on, but it really does help! I don't do it a lot though because it takes more to do that than just when you shower since your hair isn't wet. But I've found that even the cheap brands of conditioner work just as well as the expensive ones as far as this trick is concerned.
I also buy those oil treatments that you can get at places like walmart, target, etc. The 'name brand' is the V05 Hot Oil treatment, but a lot of places will have generic ones that are cheaper.

As for hair care, I am a biolage girl all the way.
For skin: I use the Clinique Acne system in the morning (All 3 steps), and then at night I use the St. Ives "Invigorate/Fresh Skin" line (I used witch hazel as my "toner" at night). I stay pretty clear this way without getting totally dried out (Which, using the full Clinique Acne system twice a day consistently will most likely dry you out after a few days)
For hair: I recently started using the sulfate-free Loreal Ever Strong line, the "damage repair" formula (Available pretty much everywhere that sells shampoo: green tubes, purple caps). I seriously saw an improvement after just 2 days of using it. If you color your hair regularly there's a formula for that, too (Which, if you color regularly, you really should be using some sort of shampoo designed for color care, anyway).
I would also highly recommend hopping on over to the Wedding Beauty board, there's quite a few ladies over there that can probably help you out there, too.
