The playa poses a few challenges to taking care of your skin:

1 - Maintaining the pH balance of your acid mantle

Believe it or not, the skin on your face is slightly acidic (pH of about 5.5). This helps protect your skin from acne-causing bacteria. However, playa dust is alkali and can throw your pH off kilter. You know that "squeaky clean" feeling you get after washing with some soaps? Unfortunately that's your acid mantle being washed away by alkali detergents which leaves your skin more sensitive to all sorts of nasty stuff (bacteria, fungus, pollutants, etc). Thus all the stuff you hear about using a "gentle cleanser" for washing your face. This actually means a pH neutral cleanser.

2 - Keeping your skin from getting too dry


Another aspect of protecting your acid mantle is to make sure it isn't too dry (meaning too little oil or water). The structure of your skin's acid mantle contains fatty lipids which help form this protective barrier. Dry it out and your skin is again vulnerable. For those who say their skin clears up on the playa, I'm guessing these folks may have oily skin so the dry atmosphere may help them balance shit out. Since you are already on a topical solution, I think you'd be especially sensitive to dry skin issues.

3 - Protecting your skin from the sun

Sun damage is real, m'kay? The sun's rays slow down the production of new skins cells. Age also slows down this process. You know how little kids rarely get scars? That's because their skin "heals faster" vs. adults, meaning their skin cells regenerate faster. If you are trying to heal acne or some sort of scratch, use sunscreen! You'll be amazed how much faster your skin starts to look better.



So, what should you do on the playa? I recommend cleaning your face using a cotton pad and a mild organic toner twice a day. The toner removes the playa dust, adds some skin-loving vitamins, and helps the skin from getting dried out. You also need to use sunscreen (ideally a physical formula) so it stays on a good chunk of the day.


TL:DR -- clean your face with a cotton pad and a mild toner 2X a day and use sunscreen.

I'm also oily and live in the desert so I get easily dehydrated skin, so this is reflective of those issues as well.

AM:

Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Foaming Cleanser Be sure you buy the foaming formula! The other one they offer in the same packaging isn't alcohol free! i make sure to foam it up in my hands before applying it to lessen irritation. I use this (not a water rinse like many do) in the morning for a reason you'll see in my PM routine.

Argan Oil for moisturizer until I get Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

Benefit Dream Screen Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 45

Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++
This is a great find because a good heap of Asian BB creams that work well with oily skin or are mattefying have alcohols in them.

PM:

Same Cleanser

(If I'm removing makeup I use Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner in order to make sure my face is totally clean. I wouldn't recommend this method to remove makeup if you're dry, this isn't necessarily drying, but OCM much more hydrating for those with dry skin.)

Stridex Maximum Strength (Red) pads This does have menthol in it, if you have dry skin, I wouldn't reccommend it personally, though some have no issues with it. I use this every other night.

I've got my St. Ives Exfoliating Pads coming in from Amazon this week and I can't wait to try them! I'll use them on the nights I don't use my Stridex pads. These are a Lactic Acid based AHA product.

I may eventually get neem oil as a spot treatment to use in this step but my skin's been pretty okay without it, though I bet it would help. I've also got hydrocolloid bandages coming in on my Amazon order, so I can't wait to try those!

And finally I dampen my face, apply Vaseline or Aquaphor
The difference in the 2 is negligible for me, both are occulsives so they do require some moisture already (the water) in order to keep things moist. Because it stays on most of my face, I need to use a cleanser in the AM to get it all off.

Hope this is enough (and actually relevant) for you! Good luck on the product search, it's a bitch sometimes!

(Also if you don't like/can't use chemical sunscreens, I'd recommend the 2 I use Alba Botanica fragrance free mineral broad spectrum spf 30 [Slight white cast that fades] for my face and Banana Boat Kids Tear-Free Sting-Free Lotion Sunscreens SPF 50 [Also has slight fading white cast] for my body.)

I use Banana Boat Kid's Tear Free Sunscreen http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001ET78E2/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_R2bptb1HQ127N .... Can someone tell me if it's bad to use this on your face? I see other people making fancier sunscreen recommendations, and that's making me wonder if I'm doing it terribly wrong. Now granted, I don't use this when I'm doing a full face if makeup or anything. This is for when I'm going to be outside and hot and sweaty and need to make sure I don't burn. I do put makeup on over it usually though.... Help a pale girl out plz

I use Banana Boat for kids, it's SPF 50 and broad spectrum. I think it's part physical so it leaves a slight white cast but I'm pretty pale so I don't notice it.

I would recommend the following:

Avoid skin-clogging makeup as much as possible (bronzer, concealer, primer, etc.). I don't use any of this - no BB creams, no CC creams, no foundation, nothing. Keep the skin unclogged, is the goal. Use something that has salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to wash your face, 1-2 times a day (morning and night) because that will actually kill the acne-causing bacteria. Then use non-comedogenic face moisturizer - I like Clinique's Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief and use either Etude House Sunprise Mild Airy Finish Sun Milk SPF50+ or Banana Boat Kids spf 50 (it's a physical sunscreen not got a lot of oily sunblock ingredients). You have to moisturize and gotta make sure you protect your skin from wrinkles and cancer!

After showering, I put Thayer's Witch Hazel (the rose petal kind but I don't think it matters which "flavor" you choose) on. Just a thin layer applied with a cotton ball. It's essentially another cleaner. Then I wait for it to dry and add the same Clinique moisturizer and then, to get rid of pigmentation, you will need a cream with retinol to stimulate growth of new and fresher skin cells. I recommend using it at night, before you apply the moisturizer so it will penetrate the skin. I use Alpha SkinCare Deep Wrinkle Repair from Ulta.

Be gentle with your skin - don't wash it too hard and pat it dry and use warm water, not too cold or hot. Once a week, make a gelatin pore cleaning mask (recipe here but there's a billion out there you can use) and use a clay mask as well to drain your pores of oil after you've yanked any gross globs out.

This is going to take time, of course. And make sure that your pillows you sleep on are clean (wash pillowcase once a week) and that you don't let your hair brush against your face (oils can get on your skin and clog it).

I've done this for 12 years and that's how I've kept my skin essentially completely blemish free (occasional pimples, small, once every few months?)

The goal is to keep skin clean and moisturize it just enough. It's not very complex, to be honest. I don't ever listen to anecdotal crap about why some products work better than others. I look at the ingredients list and then read studies to see why it might work. Sure, if you're just looking for moisturizing, fine, rely on anecdotal stuff and weak evidence, but for things where you really want to see results like less wrinkles or fewer pimples, ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and retinol are very important.

*ETA: when applying ANYTHING to your face, make sure you wash your hands first!!! No point to use these wonderful products if the tool applying them is dirty. And then it gets the product as well as your face dirty. Clean hands, clean towels to dry your hands and face! Wash the towels a minimum of once a week. Don't have to use a lot of soap to launder the towels - bc that can be irritating - but needs to be clean.
