Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

Will tanning help get rid of sensitive skin? I need to know how to get rid of my sensitive white skin.

Answer
Sun tanning will actually make sensitive skin worse. UV-B burns the epidermis whereas UV-A penetrates into the dermis and breaks out collagen and elastin fibers, which makes you look older than you are. Both increases the risk of skin cancer!!!

The ONLY safe way to tan is with a self-tanner, but even that does not get rid of sensitive skin.

If you are born with sensitive skin, then you cannot get rid of it, but you can surely control it. If you developed sensitive skin for whatever reason such as bad skin care regimen and bad lifestyle habits, then there is a way to treat it and get your skin back to its "normal" level. Regardless of skin tone, sensitive skin is universal to all skin colors. The same goes with age.

Sensitive skin is a result of an impaired skin barrier because allergens and irritants are able to penetrate into the skin and cause inflammation. Therefore, in order to treat your (chronic) condition, you must use products that can replenish the damaged and missing skin barrier components (cholesterol, ceramide, hyaluronic acid, glycosaminoglycans, etc) that strengthens it and enable it to retains moisture better. Another important tip is to use products that are concentrated with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents to keep flare-ups under control.

Now that I have given you the gist of your skin problem, you need to understand that you select products based on solely on skin type. If you are unsure of you complete skin type, take the questionnaire developed by clinical researcher, world-renown board-certified dermatologist, and author of The Skin Type Solutions, Dr. Leslie Baumann. Register first then take the quiz; afterwards, you can visit the specified forum that is tailored to your unique skin type for product recommendations and discussions.

Or, you can visit Beautypedia - a large-scale of product reviews written and managed by Paula Begoun (The Cosmetic Cop) and her team. Generally, the reviews are accurate.

Ladies: do you think men actually care that we live in a patriarchal society?

You seem to care that all things are equal. You denounce the idea of a matriarchy on the basis that it doesn't promote equality (good show)- but do you actually think that men care that there's been thousands of years of patriarchy? Do they care about whether or not you have equality? Why have women primarily had to do all the fighting for their rights while men have sat back, done next to nothing to right wrongs, and basically just complained about losing their male privilege?

Answer
Of course they care. They care because they don`t want that privilege wittled away. Add in white privilege and of course they don`t want that wittled away either. The best way to keep the status quo is to denounce the existence of either in the first place. Of course this is why we often get the question here at GWS (it is still called GWS here in Canada btw LOL) ``As a white male, please tell me what privileges do I have in today`s society?`` My question is, if this privilege apparently doesn`t exist fellas, then why are you so inquisitive as to why it is being slowly erroded? How can something be erroded if it does not exist?

EDIT: "MZT-- I took this list from an article on white privilege: here are some of your privileges and mine too as I `pass` for white--I am VERY aware of these privileges because my family members DO NOT have these advantages:

1. I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.
2. If I should need to move, I can be pretty sure of renting or purchasing housing in an area, which I can afford and in which I would want to live.
3. I can be pretty sure that my neighbors in such a location will be neutral or pleasant to me.
4. I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.
5. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely
represented.
6. When I am told about our national heritage or about âcivilization,â I am shown that people of my
color made it what it is.
7. I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the existence of their
race.
8. If I want to, I can be pretty sure of finding a publisher for this piece on white privilege.
9. I can go into a music shop and count on finding the music of my race represented, into a supermarket
and find the staple foods which fit with my cultural traditions, into a hairdresserâs shop and find someone who can cut my hair.
10. Whether I use checks, credit cards or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the
appearance of my financial reliability.
11. I can arrange to protect my children most of the time from people who might not like them.
12. I can swear, or dress in second hand clothes, or not answer letters, without having people attribute these choices to the bad morals, the poverty, or the illiteracy of my race.
13. I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my race on trial.
14. I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race.
15. I am never asked to speak for all the people of my racial group.
16. I can remain oblivious of the language and customs of persons of color who constitute the worldâs
majority without feeling in my culture any penalty for such oblivion.
17. I can criticize our government and talk about how much I fear its policies and behavior without being seen as a cultural outsider.
18. I can be pretty sure that if I ask to talk to âthe person in charge,â I will be facing a person of my race.
19. If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I havenât been singled out because of my race.
20. I can easily buy posters, post-cards, picture books, greeting cards, dolls, toys, and childrenâs
magazines featuring people of my race.
21. I can go home from most meetings of organizations I belong to feeling somewhat tied in, rather than isolated, out-of-place, outnumbered, unheard, held at a distance, or feared.
22. I can take a job with an affirmative action employer without having coworkers on the job suspect that I got it because of race.
23. I can choose public accommodation without fearing that people of my race cannot get in or will be mistreated in the place I have chosen.
24. I can be sure that if I need legal or medical help my race will not work against me.
25. If my day, week or year is going badly, I need not ask of each negative episode or situation whether it has racial overtones.
26. I can choose blemish cover or bandages in âfleshâ color and have them more or less match my skin.
