What's the minimum amount of time hair dye can be left in and still work?

I want to dye my hair quickly. I don't care if the color doesn't stay in as well as the usual 30-45 minutes usually does. Is 5 minutes okay? Less than that?
It's manic panic hair dye, not box hair dye.
Answer
ALWAYS follow direction on the box. Call the 1-800# found on the box of dye or email them, (to find #, go online & search the brand if you don't have the box) they're the hair color experts they can advice you best. Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.
Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.
Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.

London, Feb 20, 2013 I've been saying that since 2009.
Hair dyes, which include home hair colouring kits and those used at pricey salons, are linked to deadly cancer-causing chemicals, warn scientists. In 2009 the Mail revealed that women who used hair dyes more than nine times a year had a 60% greater risk of contracting blood cancer.
A year later the European Commission banned 36 hair dyes which put long-term users at risk of bladder cancer. < < < <â¨

The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Halloweâen party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11
The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. Itâs made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. Itâs well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time. Skin specialist Najjia Ashraf reveals that there are barely any dyes that donât contain this toxin; even the ones who claim they donât, are not being honest. âBig brands often escape the blame by suggesting they are ammonia-free. However, ammonia and PPD are two very different things and PPD is present in nearly every dye because it is what gives off the colour,â she explains.

The British woman who went into coma after a reaction to hair dye has died after a year. Updated 11-25-12. The woman suffered a heart failure, struggled for breath and became unconsciousness.

What is the big deal about sulfates in beauty products?
Daisy
I have heard a lot about how they are bad for your skin - what do they do?
does anyone want to be more specific?
Answer
I'd be more concerned about parabens and pthalates if I were you. Parabens are not allowed in cosmetics in Europe for a reason - some research has shown that they are found in tumor cells.
I don't put anything on my skin that is a petroleum product; oils made from nuts & vegetables (olives, almonds) are better.
I use products from L'Occitane because they are made in France and can't use these possible cance causing ingredients.
Some quotes:
"In January 2003 the European Union banned the use
of these chemicals. By September 2004, all cosmetics and personal care products sold in the member states of the European Union will have to be free of substances considered CMR I and CMR II (carcinogens, mutagens, or reproductive toxins). "
"Among the banned petroleum byproducts are parabens, used for preserving products. Recent research has linked parabens to breast cancer, and a number of natural personal care companies have already phased them out of most or all of their formulations."

How do i keep my nails white?
Labels:
skin care 1950s
CoconutYum
My nails grow quite fast and when they are long i love them. Then after a day they turn yellow and they chip. How can I make them whiter and stronger?
Answer
Step 1
Instead of spending $20 to $40 for a manicure every 1-2 weeks, you can absolutely take care of your hands yourself. Healthy fingernails start with good habits...especially when you are at home taking care of your everyday responsibilities.
Here's how to start.
Every morning, after you brush your teeth, apply hand lotion before you even make your coffee or the kids' breakfast and lunch!
Step 2
Rub the hand lotion into your cuticles.
Step 3
Before washing dishes or cleaning the floor, etc., apply more hand lotion and then put on rubber gloves. It may sound 1950s but it absolutely will benefit your skin and fingernails. The chemicals used for cleaning will damage your skin and fingernails, so a good pair of rubber gloves will prevent that, and rubber gloves last for years.
Step 4
Always avoid putting your hands in very hot water....this also damages the hands' delicate skin and fingernails.
Step 5
Gently file your nails in one direction from left to right, each day after your shower or bath, when your nails are softest. By filing in one direction, avoiding the see-saw, back and forth motion, you will put less strain on the base of your fingernails.
Step 6
File away any snags that might form on your fingernails. These can lead to breakage.
Step 7
Keep a bottle of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails clear strengthener in your car...Then, when you are sitting in traffic or waiting for your children to come out of school, etc., apply one quick coat to your nails. This way, you won't have the strong fumes in your home, and you can remember to apply it every day! If you apply one coat each day, you most likely will never have to remove any coats due to chipping. This will enable you to avoid the use of acetone nail polish removers, which are drying to the fingernails and unhealthy for the cuticles.
Step 8
After just one week, you will most likely notice how nicely your fingernails are growing, and how the color of the nail tip is looking whiter. This means your fingernails are beginning to thrive!
Step 9
About once per week, trim your nails with the clippers after your shower or bath, and apply hand lotion and rub it in the cuticle areas.
Step 10
Always, always avoid artificial nails of all styles. These essentially weaken the natural fingernail because they cover it, preventing it from breathing and receiving sunlight. Mold can develop under the artificial nail, and when the nail tip is removed, the natural fingernail is tissue-thin and generally yellow and weak. This condition is painful AND unattractive. With properly cared-for natural nails, most people will think your nails are professionally maintained!
Step 11
Remember the hand lotion every morning is key! This method will only cost you about $6 per month for the lotion and nail coating! Compare this with the expense of weekly or bi-weekly manicures, plus the hassle of driving there and waiting for your turn! You'll be so glad you cut the cost, and your nails will look healthy and strong as a result.
I spent a lot of time on this. I hope i helped! =) Take care.

How to decide to come out or not?
Bi Tech
I'm a Native American and have been raised that homosexuality is not a good thing. I told my mother once and she told me not to tell anyone else. That they wouldn't understand. Normally I don't care what others think, but I care what my family thinks. And everyone one of them don't agree with it. So do I give up my family to be who I am. They are all I have. How have things gone for you all?
Answer
In traditional Native American society, the "two-spirited" person was one who was highly prized. But maybe not in all N.A. societies. Sounds a bit like your family has been influenced by Christian churches, if I had to guess I'd say Catholic.
Here's my story. Raised in a largely secular family in the 1950s and 60s. Knew I was gay from a very early age, although didn't have the words for it. Knew also that I had to keep it a secret. I did that for more than 50 years. Even got married and had kids. But always felt like a fake even though I had some success in life. Finally couldn't take it any more and came out in my 50s. Surprise surprise, the family accepted me. Now, almost 15 years later, I'm happy to be really me.
My friend, if your family won't accept you, you'll find others who will. They will become your family. Possibly the most important thing in life is to be YOU. But I think that your family, at least your parents, especially your mother, will come around. I'd say from experience that it is worth the gamble. But I'm not you. You have to feel comfortable in your own skin.
Good luck.

Like you, I was curious if any sites out there were really giving away free stuff without any strings attached and were actually legit. I found a couple of cool sites that do give away free stuff that you may also want to check out. The first one is: http://womans-health.net/woman-freebies.htm This site is loaded with free useful information on womenâs health, but it also gives away freebies such as cleaning and bath and beauty supplies. There are also links to free stuff and coupons for babies and 2000 free stuff. So you might want to check that site out for freebies.
I found free business cards and a free fax number on this site: http://www.debit-card-guide.com/free-stuff-and-deals.htm There is also other free stuff links for gift certificates and shopping card offers. There are numerous links on both sites that offer free stuff, it may just take a bit of time browsing through all the offers!
You may also check your local Wal-Mart or their website because they are known to give away new items and products. Hope that helps!

How much does it cost to go to the Emergency Room for an ankle sprain?
Labels:
skin care center
DocOnTheRu
If you have been to the ER or an Urgent Care center for an ankle sprain or other similar injury, what was the final bill with the doctor fees, x-rays, emergency room charges, braces, crutches, etc?
I have heard of some pretty ridiculous charges from the ER, and I am wondering how outrageous the costs really are.
Patients also often ask me this question and I am wondering what people's experience is with the bills they receive from the emergency room. What was your TOTAL Emergency Room bill?
Thanks!
Answer
How about some stitches?
ER, total bill before insurance $1500ish
Urgent care- TOTAL for office visit, stitches, prescription, tetanus shot. $65.
We try to avoid the ER like the plague. In the first case, we were just grossed out because he had an avulsed flap of skin that kept waving around in the breeze. Sadly, the Urgent Care place was closed.

lines all over my face?
sw3etpinay
I have really soft skin, but when I look in the mirror, near my nose I have weird whisker lines.
As I look closer, I see creases of lines ALL OVER my face.
Is there something that will help me recover my skin and soft, yet with no remains?
I ALSO have a hangnail that is almost going to pull out, any safe way to pull it out safely?
Answer
Not knowing your age I am not sure but proper hydration helps. Hydrate from the inside and outside. Our body is made of mostly water and our vital organs need to get served first. Our skin gets served last. You need to keep constantly replenished with water to feed your cells and keep them plump. Think of a grape as it dehydrates it becomes a wrinkled raisin. Some say it takes us drinking 1/2 our body weight in ounces of water daily and consistently for our bodies to be properly hydrated. If you aren't crazy about drinking water or forget. Put a pitcher of water in the fridge in front of the other drinks so you'll be more likely to grab it and make it look more appealing by adding some sliced cucumbers or lemons to the pitcher.
You will also need to hydrate from the outside since our skin is constantly being dehydrated by exposure to our environment. Try to use a good quality facial cleanser(that won't strip your skin and make it feel tight and dehydrated) and moisturizer. It is usually worth it to invest in good quality skin care. You only have one face and you can't really cover it with clothing like we can with the rest of our body. Better quality products usually have a smaller molecular structure and can penetrate deeper into the skin and you can use less of them and get better results. Choosing more natural ones are best so that you are not exposing your skin to unknown free radicals, carcinogens or toxins that can cause wrinkles or worse. So they don't need to be the most expensive products but usually the bargain basement stuff is not the way to go. Go for natural and good quality. Some good choices would be Yonka or some Aveda (not their gel cleanser-- too drying) Or try a health food store and look in their beauty section. But your moisturizer on a toned or damp face to help draw in the moisture. Locking in moisture with a tiny bit of coconut oil is great and beneficial to the skin even cancer fighting. I like to before I go to bed at night take a small scoop of vitamin C powder with a drop of liquid cal-mag and a couple of drops of coconut oil and cover my face with the mixture before bed. Vitamin C is a great collagen builder as well as an anti-inflammatory and the coconut oil helps fight free radicals, which are known to cause pre mature aging. No matter you age it is never too early to start on a good skin care regimen.

Any black women with long (bra strap length or longer) RELAXED hair?
Labels:
beauty health questionnaire
beauty health questionnaire image
$Saditty K
Just curious. Is it possible to have chemically straightened hair that's long. My hair is natural, and on the norm I keep it in its curly state (and it falls over my shoulder blades). Maybe once or twice a month a have my hair blow dried straight and my hair falls about waist-length. No I'm not mixed.
I have this perception that chemicals damage your hair regardless of how well taken care of your hair is. ie it doesn't matter how "professional" your stylist is ect... using chemically straightening your hair is detrimental to your hair. I would love to hear from hair experts or people who're living proof that my "perm/relaxer perceptions" are extra wrong. LOL!
Thanks in advance.
PS: I'm not knocking ANYONE who gets perms/relaxers (Heck some days I get tired of fighting my natural hair. Lol!) Just all the women I know who get perms have hair no longer than shoulder length. Just seems like a lot of effort for no results.
PROVE ME WRONG! L :-)
Answer
"I have this perception that chemicals damage your hair regardless "
You're 100% correct there! Your hair is unique, and many women who uses heat & chemicals = hair worst enemies, have problem growing their hair as long and as healthy as yours.
Hair-straightening products are allowed to contain small concentrations of formaldehyde (0.2 percent). But several hair-straightening solutions have been found to contain well above the allowable limit. For example, one popular hair-straightening product that advertised itself as âformaldehyde-freeâ actually contained 6.8 percent to 11.8 percent formaldehyde.
Another example: Fourteen women, including two from North Texas and one from Houston, are suing Unilever, the maker of a product they claim caused permanent damage to their hair.
"It transforms frizzy, unmanageable hair into hair that's sleeker and easier to style," said the commercial for the Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion 30-Day Smoothing Kit, which is no longer being sold
When she began looking online for more information about the product, she said she found some people who said it worked, but more who said it damaged their hair.
She discovered a Facebook page devoted to angry consumers, and there are multiple postings on YouTube. I've been warning people about relaxers since 2009 and people are giving me thumbs down!
BTW: A variety of hair-straightening products used in professional salons can expose both hairdressers and their customers to formaldehyde. The results show that three professional hair-smoothing treatments labeled "formaldehyde free" can produce the cancer-causing chemical at concentrations above the occupational exposure limits set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. They tested four products: Coppola Keratin Complex Blonde Formula, Global Keratin Juvexin Optimized Functional Keratin, La Brasiliana Escluso Keratin Treatment with Collagen, and Brazilian Blowout Acai Professional Smoothing Solution. While ChemRisk tested four popular brands of hair straighteners, THERE ARE HUNDREDS on the market. Nov. 11-11
By contrast, beauty salon owners and stylists generally lack a scientific background and don't have a keen awareness of the danger of working with products that contain formaldehyde, experts say.
Watch: Good Hair a documentary by Chris Rock 2009 on BET or HBO. According to Tyra Banks, 80% of the black population are part of the billion dollar hair industry. Clips on youtube videos, also.
Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.
The hair of many black women is very fragile and studies have demonstrated that normal brushing and combing the hair can result in breakage. Brushing your hair 100-times a day is a no-no for your hair. Only comb and brush your hair to style it. Also avoid rubber bands or other implements that can physically cut into and break the hair shaft.

increase the risk of developing an irreversible form of scarring hair loss, according to a new study in the Archives of Dermatology.
Seen predominately in African-American women, this type of hair loss, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, centers on the vertex (crown) of the scalp and spreads peripherally.
âAny style that causes too much tension and traction on the hair, such as braiding with artificial hair weaved in, can possibly lead to scarring hair loss,â says study author Angela Kyei, MD, a dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.
In the study, 326 African-American women answered questionnaires about their hair-grooming methods, health status, and other demographic information. Dermatologists then performed a scalp examination to grade hair loss.
Nearly 60% of the women showed signs of advanced central hair loss with scarring. The women were also more likely to have type 2 diabetes and bacterial scalp infections, and sport hair styles associated with traction, including braids and weaves, the study showed.
âBut hair loss is permanent, meaning that we can inject steroids or creams but it won't bring your hair back, so itâs very important to seek help with dermatologists early on,â she says.

symmetrical your face, is this true?
rockybould
Is it true if I were to relax my neck muscles, relax my jaw and let it hang but have my mouth closed with my tongue resting at the bottom of my mouth and my eyes fixed forward in a stare that in about 2 to 3 months my face could get more symmetrical? And by chewing more often on the side of my face with the smaller jaw muscle help too?
If that's not true can you help me out with some advice?
And is it true that if I eat healthier and drink water it will help as well?
Answer
Symmetry equals sex
Starting at conception, the human body develops by neatly splitting cells. If every division were to go perfectly, the result would be a baby whose left and right sides are mirror images. But nature doesn't work that way. Genetic mutations and environmental pressures skew symmetry, and the results have lifelong implications.
Studies revealed that men who were more symmetrical started having sex three to four years earlier and had more sex partners than their asymmetrical counterparts.
Good symmetry shows that an individual has the genetic goods to survive development, is healthy, and is a good and fertile choice for mating.
It makes sense to use symmetry variation in mate choice. If you choose a perfectly symmetrical partner and reproduce with them, your offspring will have a better chance of being symmetric and able to deal with perturbations.
The beauty of symmetry
Can your looks be measured by a mathematical ratio? Studies show that "beautiful" people actually are just "more proportional" people
Everyone knows the adage "Don't judge a book by its cover." But we can't help it; we do just that, day in and day out, consciously and subconsciously. We rate others on the basis of their appearance and compare our own looks with the enhanced images of beautiful women and handsome men in movies and magazines and on TV and billboards
Widespread studies confirm that beauty is simply balance: The more symmetrical a face, the more appealing it appears. The concept applies to bodies, too. Physical symmetry is subconsciously perceived as a reflection of a person's youth, fertility, health and strength. And although bilateral (left-right) symmetry might not be a bona fide health certificate these days, it has been a marker of good health and genes throughout human evolution.
Not everyone seeking symmetry goes under the knife Creating symmetry is all about using light, dark and reflection.essential points of light on the face by mixing Vaseline with eye shadow and foundation. Light can soften the face, give it dimension and make it look more moist. If you want to take 10 years off your age, try a foundation with shimmer or just put a light-reflective cream on your crow's-feet.
The results showed that facial symmetry in men, but not women, was linked to the effects of ageing on mental processes.
Examples of men with a high degree of facial symmetry include the actors George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Jude Law
Questionnaires revealed that men who were more symmetrical started having sex three to four years earlier and had more sex partners than their asymmetrical counterparts.
Men with symmetrial faces are less likely to lose their intelligence and memory in later life, according to researchers.
Facial symmetry, the researchers argued, may indicate a man has experienced fewer genetic and environmental disturbances such as diseases, toxins, malnutrition or genetic mutations during his development
The team was unable to find comparable results in women.
One explanation suggested by the researchers was that DNA has a different effect on ageing among women. Another theory was that mental decline is delayed in women because, on average, they live longer
We have found that someone's face can send out a wealth of signals about what they are like. We have also found a remarkable consistency in peopleâs preferences for faces
A person's health might be reflected in their facial symmetry. Symmetry reflects the ability to grow straight despite all of life's challenges, including infection and stress. Symmetrical faces are good all round: they are considered beautiful, they have betterlooking skin, and symmetrical people even smell nicer

How to set up a narrow tank for bearded dragon?
Labels:

skin care for 60 and older image
Maddy
So i have a 60 gallon with a happy year old bearded dragon. He has a little house to hide in and a stack of long slate like bricks for his basking spot and his food and large water dish. It is a fish tank, so it is really narrow, only 13 inches wide. Its 4ft long and 19 1/2 inches high. I dont like the set up i have now and have a really hard time trying to decorate and change it because nothing fits because it so narrow. If you have a cage set ups for narrow tanks or some pics that would be amazing. Happy new year!
Answer
Hi Maddy,
I have wooden & glass vivs. They both retain heat well. My glass viv stays at 102-104F. My wooden viv stays @ 102F. I use a digital thermometer to check the heat & cool temps. Put the temp probe exactly where your Dragon tends to bask the most, & at the highest point. Leave it there for at least 45 minutes, to get an accurate reading. I bought mine from Wal-Mart, in the hardware section. It is called Accurite, & costs @ 15.00. It works great.
I have had Plexiglass, glass, & wooden viv's. My Beardies have never had chest infections or skin conditions. Beardies must have white light. I use a Repti-Sun 10.0 tube lite, and 2 household bulbs in the same fixture. Each of my vivs are set up the same way. I do not use heat mats. This light set-up has worked successfully for me, for years. If your house, or your BD's viv, does not drop below 65F, they will be fine. However, IF they do, a CHE is needed. Che's (Ceramic Heat Emitters) emits only heat, no light. You can buy a 100w CHE if you need to. A specific fixture is needed for a CHE. It is called a "Wire Fixture". Check out www.drsfosterandsmith.com for a good price on CHE's & wire fixtures.
I agree with Varanama about not limiting feeders to just 1 insect type, & about the Roaches. I use Dubia & Discoid Roaches. They offer more protein, and are safer than crickets. Both do not climb, and cannot escape. All other Roaches can climb (plastic & glass), & will escape. Especially, Lobster roaches, & Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches.
Waxworms are loaded with nothing but fat. Beardies have been known to stop eating other feeders, wanting only waxworms. They are highly addictive to BD's. Their nick-name is Dragon Crack/Dragon Candy, because of the fat content. They are so tasty, BD's have been known, in SOME cases, to starve themselves rather than eat other feeders. I've never fed my Dragons any Waxworms. As long as your Dragon has a suitable diet, i.e. greens, veggies, live insects, he/she will be fine.
Please do Not confuse ANY Mealworms with Superworms. They are NOT the same. Mealworms are NOT recommended for Bearded Dragons. They are KNOWN to cause impaction. Impaction can lead to a sick Dragon needing Vet care and meds, or to a dead Dragon. I do not use them.
Earthworms are not recommended for Bearded Dragons. To learn more about this topic, check out www.beardeddragon.org
The only beetles that I feed to my Dragons are Darkling Beetles. This is what Super Worms will turn into. Check out www.mulberryfarms.com to see what they look like.
Silkworms: Be aware, you need to wear latex gloves with Silkies. They are extremely sensitive to cross-contamination. I learned this first hand, the hard way. I didn't know about their sensitivity. I didn't know to wear latex gloves. When I picked up a Silkie, I accidentally touched other Silkies. One by one, they died. I lost the whole colony due to cross-contamination. They are sensitive to any surface, such as your hand.. Friends of mine who use Silkies as feeders, and who do so successfully, wear gloves. I wish I had known this back then.
I use the same supplements. The only difference is, I use the Calcium WITH D3.
Your Bearded Dragon will be an adult at 18 months of age. At this time, if your Dragon is healthy, giving Calcium 3 days, and Vitamins 2 days a week, is fine. It is possibible to over-do it with supplements. Your Dragon is still growing and developing. The supplements are especially needed.
When Bearded Dragons started to be popular pets, @ 20 years ago, there wasn't much information known about them. There was mis-information about diet, lighting, and environments, etc. There were not many people working specifically in the field of Bearded Dragons.
That has changed. Today, more is known about Bearded Dragons, than ever before. Back then, if your Dragon had AdenoVirus, your Dragon died from AdenoVirus. Today, due to new knowledge, Dragons can be saved from this disease.
I hope this helps you. Take care. Happy New Year, Every beardie! : - D

Silkworms: Be aware, you need to wear latex gloves with Silkies. They are extremely sensitive to cross-contamination. I learned this first hand, the hard way. I didn't know about their sensitivity. I didn't know to wear latex gloves. When I picked up a Silkie, I accidentally touched other Silkies. One by one, they died. I lost the whole colony due to cross-contamination. They are sensitive to any surface, such as your hand.. Friends of mine who use Silkies as feeders, and who do so successfully, wear gloves. I wish I had known this back then.
I use the same supplements. The only difference is, I use the Calcium WITH D3.
Your Bearded Dragon will be an adult at 18 months of age. At this time, if your Dragon is healthy, giving Calcium 3 days, and Vitamins 2 days a week, is fine. It is possibible to over-do it with supplements. Your Dragon is still growing and developing. The supplements are especially needed.
When Bearded Dragons started to be popular pets, @ 20 years ago, there wasn't much information known about them. There was mis-information about diet, lighting, and environments, etc. There were not many people working specifically in the field of Bearded Dragons.
That has changed. Today, more is known about Bearded Dragons, than ever before. Back then, if your Dragon had AdenoVirus, your Dragon died from AdenoVirus. Today, due to new knowledge, Dragons can be saved from this disease.
I hope this helps you. Take care. Happy New Year, Every beardie! : - D

What products should I use for an oily forehead?
Allison
My forehead is very oily and I clean it every morning and night with some acne wash from Care One. It's not that great or anything and it hasn't been working so I was wondering what I should buy that would make my forehead less oily and have it stay that way? Nothing that's too expensive either :)
Thanks so much!
Answer
Blot it down with a tissue or a Kleenex. The main idea is to keep your forehead dry & oil-free.
The less products you use, the better for your skin. Use Bath wash like Suave Bath & Body Gel, use a washcloth. Treat your face like the rest of your body, take a shower everyday or wash your face everyday.
The secret is keeping your face clean and oil-free. I also don't use liquid on my face for anything, and very little moisturizer, not even a dime size. Since my face is not dry.
Acne medication could worsen what ever allergies you have, so instead of trying out one product after another, you're actually spreading it around. Example: ProActiv contains a known carcinogen, at a percentage known to promote skin cancer.
Smoking has been shown to make acne worse since it dimities the delivery of oxygen to the skin and robs it of nutrients, thereby inhibiting cars from healing. Not enough reason to quit? Smoke depletes moisture, making skin lose its luster and look wrinkly.
The beauty industry is a billion dollar business, they know acne is everyone's problem, but instead of saying soap is drying for you, they have to invent an acne product that can worsen the skin as MANY TEENAGERS have experienced during hormonal change, but as you get older those are completely a waste of time & money!
Good skin also comes from your good genes. Increase your fresh fruits & vegetables 3-5 servings per day.

Can I use skin care products made for men on my face?

susan15022
I am asking because at a recent trip to the drugstore, I noticed that the men's skin care lines are cheaper than the women's, and yet the ingredient lists read about the same. Can you recommend any products?
Answer
Mary Kay cosmetics have products for men. Velocity would be a good start. Most of the products that are listed, men can use. Even the shave gels that we have, men can use.
Skin is skin and just because it looks like a woman magazine doesn't mean it's all for women. :)

What was the skincare regimen that the seventeen magazine prom issue 2011 had in it?
Lincoln M
I am signed up for the magazine but i didnt get the issue! :( i need the skin care routine they had there. does anyone know where i can find it online? cus the website didnt have it. I would also greatly appreciate if u could type the whole thing down here....if you have time on your hands. Thanks!!!! :)
Answer
You have to go out and buy the Seventeen magazine prom 2011 issue, because they don't send it to subscribers, I hope this is what you were looking for:
week 1:
*Begin a regimen- wash with a gentle cleanser morning and night, then follow with an oil free moisturizer. Keep this up everyday! try: purpose gentle cleansing wash, $6, drugstores
*Prevent Zits: If you are acne prone, apply a 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide treatment all over your face every night. It will help prevent new zits from popping up.
*Clear up Bacne: Use a body wash with salicylic acid to exfoliate and clean out bacteria in the pores on your back and chest without overdrying your skin. try: Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash Pink Grapefruit, $7, drugstores
week 2:
*Get an allover Glow: Twice a week, replace your body wash with a grainy scrub to slough off dull skin from shoulders to toes
*Moisturize like crazy: Apply a rich body lotion every night before bed. Focus on rough spots like ankles, knees, elbows, and to get them perfectly soft by prom. try: Mark Self Sanctuary Lemon Sugar Body Butter, $8, meetmark.com
*Exfoliate right: Save the tough grains for your body and be gentle with our face. Two times a week, use a cleanser that contians glycolic and salicylic acids to shed dry, dead cells faster (so they don't clog your pores). try: Murad AHA/BHA exfoliating cleanser, $35, Sephora stores
*Eat even more skin healthy foods: Vitamin E and beta-carotene give you dewy, hydrated skin from the inside out. So add lots of broccoli, apricots, and potatoes to your diet-they're loaded with nutrients.
week 3:
*draw out gunk: A clay mask acts like a vacuum to bring dirt and oil to your skin's surface so you can rinse it away. Apply the mask just once three weeks before prom to give your skin time to flush out any bacteria after you've used it. try: Freeman feeling beautiful Mint and Lemon facial clay, $4, drugstores
*Cut back on caffeine: coffee, soda, and energy drinks can dehydrate you and make skin look dull, limit to one per day.
*Prep nails: Heal rough cuticles by massaging the skin around your nails with a softening cuticle cream. try: Thymes essential cuticle cream, $10, thymes.com
*Shower fast: Limit it to 15 minutes. Hot water strips skin of its hydrating oils.
Week 4:
*Brighten up: Steam up your bathroom with a hot shower, then apply a moisturizing mask. The steam opens up your pores, so you get an extra-deep facial.
*Get smooth: Do waxing or plucking four days before prom so your skin has time to recover from any redness or irritation.
*Bronze your bod: Apply a self-tanner three days before prom (a day after you've waxed, so you won't cause blotches). Since most self tanners take a full day to develop, this gives you enough time to fix any mistakes or fill in any missed sopts. try: L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Salon Airbrush Self-Tanning Mist, $11, drugstores
*Shave carefully: Use a razor with gel bars-it lathers while protecting your skin from razor burn. try: Venus Spa Breeze 2-in-2 Razor, $11, drugstores
OMG! What to do if you get a zit... 2 weeks til prom: Apply a mask that contains sulfur to clear up the zit and any other potentially clogged pores
*1 week before: A salicylic acid spot treatment will zap it in time if you dot it on every morning and night
*3 days before: To kill bacteria fast, apply a 10% benzoyl peroxide treatment every four hours
*1 day before: Sleep with a sulfur spot treatment on to bring redness and swelling down
*the day of: Don't pick at it! Instead, go to seventeen.com/prom for tips on hiding it like a seasoned pro

What salon in westerly or charlstown RI will put in hair extensions?
Labels:

Bekka
I recently bough hair extensions from sallys beauty supplie, and the store does not put in the extensions for you. I cant do them myself since they are fusion extensions. Are there any salons around (besides fantastic sams) that will put the hair extensions in for me, as well as color them to exactly match the hair color that i have. Thanks :)
Answer
Go to YELP or Craigslist and read reviews or post on their message boards there from your city.
We live in OREGON.
do not recommend them, specially if you've got thin or thinning hair, trying to grow hair or Afri-Amer. They will only make your hair thinner or hair falls.
May 22, 2011: Model and businesswoman Katie Price, who was formerly topless model Jordan, is demanding compensation from a top Los Angeles hair salon after she spent $17,000 on hair colourings and extensions that she claims were botched, leaving her hair so damaged it began falling out.
"Hair extensions can cause some damage to your real hair," says Placid Braganza, a design artiste. "Since they are attached using thermal heat, knotting, braiding or gluing, they can hamper hair roots or even break, split or burn hair strands if not done carefully," he adds.
Published 8-10-12: Even supermodels have bad hair days, but from the looks of this recent photo, Naomi Campbell appears to be dealing with something far worse.
A photo of the 42-year-old beauty vacationing in Ibiza earlier this week shows what appears to be a receding hairline.
Florida hair surgeon Dr. Alan Bauman, who has not treated Campbell, said the former supermodel appears to be suffering from traction alopecia â hair loss due to extensions.
âExtensions, weaves, anything artificial hanging on hair â no matter whether you attach it with glue, special magnets, tape â itâs going to cause damage over time,â Bauman told ABCNews.com. âAnd unless you give your hair a break from those extensions, it wonât rebound.â
READ: Health Hazards of Hair Extensions - ABC news. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/WomensHealth/health-hazards-hair-extensions/story?id=18411026
Bonding: Bonding or gluing is a temporary weaving method and usually involves longer hair wefts.
Plus points: This method is quick to do.
Red flags: Hair extensions attached by this method do not last too long.
Clip-on hair extensions give you a change of look without damaging your natural hair. "They are easy and quick to apply; usually taking five to seven minutes," says beauty expert, Sylvia Chen. "Moreover, in case you're not very comfortable, you can immediately pull them out," she adds.
Red flags: These clip-on hair extensions need to be removed before you go to bed. You cannot sleep or swim with these. So you may not want to opt for them if you're planning to wear them on a daily basis; you'd have to follow the routine of attaching them every morning and removing them before sleeping. Moreover, they may also lead to hair breakage while removing the clips; some even tend to tangle and fall apart after a few days.
Traction alopecia is hair loss that occurs as a result of continuous pulling of the hair. Pulling may occur from hairstyles such as tight cornrows, plaits or braids with or without extensions, weaves, ponytails or even hair rollers or curlers. Natural hairstyles can also lead to traction alopecia as well. Long heavy locks and tightly coiled twists can lead to traction alopecia. The hair loss associated with traction alopecia typically occurs at the frontal hairline, at the temples or the area of the scalp above the ears. It may also occur at the posterior hairline.
Randee Bank also had problems after using hair extensions. "I still have bald spots. The hair has not grown back," said Bank.

So for a long time I wanted hair extensions. After a lot of research, I decided to get hairdreams hair extensions. I have blonde curly hair that is just past shoulder length, and when I went for my consultation a few days ago I asked if I should get curly extensions. The woman said that she didn't think so, but she could perm them before I got them, but she didn't think she would need to.
I got them put in yesterday, and they straightened my hair to put them in. This morning I wet all my hair and the extension hair, because I wanted to see how it would look curly. Long story short, I have straight extensions bonded into my curly hair. I really don't like the way it looks, I tried scrunching it, I tried everything I possibly could without using heat on my hair, because my hair is really damaged and I don't like using heat on it.
I want the extensions taken out. I really don't like the way they look, I should've thought about it more before jumping right in to getting them put in. Do you think I would be able to get my money back? They were really expensive and I feel like I just wasted my money.

What makes a person physically attractive?
C.K
If personality remained the same and was not taken into account.
What makes a person physically attractive?
I read somewhere that it had to do somewhat with facial features and structures, is it true?
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there is still obviously a form of "universal beauty" and "ugliness" no matter what race or culture.
Answer
According to science-
highly symmetrical features, which indicate that a person was not seriously ill during their early life
"regular" features, which are fairly normal for the culture are seen as "pretty" whereas different striking features are considered gorgeous depending on the culture
healthy, youthful skin with little to no scarring
Healthy hair and nails
Vivid colored hair and eyes
In women
Low amounts of body hair
Long eyelashes
A waist to hip ratio of around 0.7
Darker limbal rings (the ring around the colored part of your eye), which indicate youth
Large, wide-set eyes
Small noses and jawlines
Long hair
In men
Prominent cheekbones
V shaped figures with broad shoulders and small waists
Strong jaws and browlines
Long faces
Muscular, but not overdeveloped
Good news- most of this relates to subconscious signs of health and fertility. For example, men prefer younger mates because women over a certain age may be infertile or show signs of birth defects. Height and weight are not on the chart, except as it applies to proportion. Most of those things are cultural, and they can vary a lot from person to person.

How can I be more chic, feminine and stylish?
Labels:
skin care tumblr
bbcake
Basically more feminine but not pink glitter girly(if you get what I mean) I want to have class and poise and dress like that also. Suggestions on what type of clothes to wear? How my hair and makeup should be? What kind of perfume and shoes I should buy? Assesories? Etc. I just need advice, thanks
Answer
{Clothes}
Figure out what your style is, then shop accordingly for that style. Look around on fashion sites, magazines, and even Google Images to get an idea of what you like. Which trends do you like? Which celeb's style do you admire? What kind of clothes do you like when you see other girls wear it in school? Get inspiration from everywhere.
When I first wanted to create my own style, I knew that I liked edgy, kind of rocker-ish clothes. Stuff like leather jackets, plaid shirts, fishnets, and combat boots is what I loved. I love the style of people like Taylor Momsen. I also went on a lot of street fashion blogs and got ideas from those. All of these I used to fit into what I liked and created a style all of my own. :)
Here's a good article to get you started with creating your style. I always suggest it because it's straight-to-the-point, and it's basically like what I did:
http://www.collegefashion.net/fashion-tips/5-tips-to-help-you-develop-your-own-personal-style/
Here's some stores I recommend. You briefly mentioned to wanting to dress more chic and feminine. Well, these stores can have what you're looking for. :)
http://www.forever21.com/
http://www.hm.com/
http://www.topshop.com/
http://www.modcloth.com/
And if you want to look at some fashion sites:
http://www.chictopia.com/
http://www.lookbook.nu/
Magazines I recommend would be Seventeen (if you're young), Marie Claire, Vogue, and Nylon (if you have a more eclectic style).
{Hair}
Really, it is personal choice what you do with it. Me, I'm not really a hair person. I just leave my hair down. I try to keep it in good shape, condition it, and what not.
If you're not like me, try new hairstyles like waterfall braids, halo braids, messy buns, top knot buns, sock buns, and side ponytails. You can get a lot of inspiration for hairstyles on sites like Pinterest. Sometimes they have how-tos for complicated hair styles as well.
If you wanna, check out my Pinterest hair board. Yeah, it's ironic. I don't care much for hair, but I love people with interesting hair lol.
http://pinterest.com/kattailmagic/hair/
Don't limit yourself to my board, though. Search around on Pinterest, Google images, Tumblr, etc.
{Makeup}
Keep it natural. Some mascara, a little eyeliner, and nude lip looks fresh and great! Of course, if you want to go wild, that's your choice as well.
Again, search around on Pinterest, Google images, and Tumblr. Lots of good makeup ideas on those sites.
I have a Pinterest board for makeup as well. Check it out, if you like. But again, don't limit yourself to just my board. Pinterest is awesome. Go crazy there, and look around. :)
http://pinterest.com/kattailmagic/makeup/
{Perfume, shoes, accessories, etc. etc. etc.}
This is all YOUR personal choice. For example, I personally prefer a sweet, candy or fruity-smelling perfume over a flowery one. I like scents that smell like vanilla, citrus, cotton candy, and coconut. Go to a perfume shop and test a few scents out and see what you like. You can get stuff at Bath and Body Works, Victoria's Secret, or Macy's.
Shoes, same. Choose what you like. If you have a beachy girl style, go for the laid-back shoes, like TOMs, flip flops, and Sperrys. If you have a girly girl style, flip flops, ballet flats and wedges. If you have an edgy style, go for Doc Martens and Converse. It all goes back to what style/trends you like, and who inspires your style.
Accessories, same thing. Personal choice. Go to Forever 21 if you want to get some cheap.
And lastly, most important, be yourself and be confident in your skin. That's a big part on how people will see you. Love who you are, and others will see it and admire you. Want to wear something you don't see too often on other people? Wear it! Don't be afraid to stand out. Also, take care of yourself. Eat right, get plenty of sleep, drink plenty of water, exercise, take care of your skin (exfoliate and moisturize)... All of that good stuff will benefit you in the long run and keep you looking your best. Sit up straight, and walk with your shoulders back. Don't slouch! It makes you look tired and lacking confidence.
That's all of the tips I have. I sincerely hope this helps you out a lot! :D
Sorry that it is looooong lol. Just wanted to be thorough. :]
{Clothes}
Figure out what your style is, then shop accordingly for that style. Look around on fashion sites, magazines, and even Google Images to get an idea of what you like. Which trends do you like? Which celeb's style do you admire? What kind of clothes do you like when you see other girls wear it in school? Get inspiration from everywhere.
When I first wanted to create my own style, I knew that I liked edgy, kind of rocker-ish clothes. Stuff like leather jackets, plaid shirts, fishnets, and combat boots is what I loved. I love the style of people like Taylor Momsen. I also went on a lot of street fashion blogs and got ideas from those. All of these I used to fit into what I liked and created a style all of my own. :)
Here's a good article to get you started with creating your style. I always suggest it because it's straight-to-the-point, and it's basically like what I did:
http://www.collegefashion.net/fashion-tips/5-tips-to-help-you-develop-your-own-personal-style/
Here's some stores I recommend. You briefly mentioned to wanting to dress more chic and feminine. Well, these stores can have what you're looking for. :)
http://www.forever21.com/
http://www.hm.com/
http://www.topshop.com/
http://www.modcloth.com/
And if you want to look at some fashion sites:
http://www.chictopia.com/
http://www.lookbook.nu/
Magazines I recommend would be Seventeen (if you're young), Marie Claire, Vogue, and Nylon (if you have a more eclectic style).
{Hair}
Really, it is personal choice what you do with it. Me, I'm not really a hair person. I just leave my hair down. I try to keep it in good shape, condition it, and what not.
If you're not like me, try new hairstyles like waterfall braids, halo braids, messy buns, top knot buns, sock buns, and side ponytails. You can get a lot of inspiration for hairstyles on sites like Pinterest. Sometimes they have how-tos for complicated hair styles as well.
If you wanna, check out my Pinterest hair board. Yeah, it's ironic. I don't care much for hair, but I love people with interesting hair lol.
http://pinterest.com/kattailmagic/hair/
Don't limit yourself to my board, though. Search around on Pinterest, Google images, Tumblr, etc.
{Makeup}
Keep it natural. Some mascara, a little eyeliner, and nude lip looks fresh and great! Of course, if you want to go wild, that's your choice as well.
Again, search around on Pinterest, Google images, and Tumblr. Lots of good makeup ideas on those sites.
I have a Pinterest board for makeup as well. Check it out, if you like. But again, don't limit yourself to just my board. Pinterest is awesome. Go crazy there, and look around. :)
http://pinterest.com/kattailmagic/makeup/
{Perfume, shoes, accessories, etc. etc. etc.}
This is all YOUR personal choice. For example, I personally prefer a sweet, candy or fruity-smelling perfume over a flowery one. I like scents that smell like vanilla, citrus, cotton candy, and coconut. Go to a perfume shop and test a few scents out and see what you like. You can get stuff at Bath and Body Works, Victoria's Secret, or Macy's.
Shoes, same. Choose what you like. If you have a beachy girl style, go for the laid-back shoes, like TOMs, flip flops, and Sperrys. If you have a girly girl style, flip flops, ballet flats and wedges. If you have an edgy style, go for Doc Martens and Converse. It all goes back to what style/trends you like, and who inspires your style.
Accessories, same thing. Personal choice. Go to Forever 21 if you want to get some cheap.
And lastly, most important, be yourself and be confident in your skin. That's a big part on how people will see you. Love who you are, and others will see it and admire you. Want to wear something you don't see too often on other people? Wear it! Don't be afraid to stand out. Also, take care of yourself.

What Clairol Natural Instincts hair color should I use to achieve natural Asian hair color again?
Frozen M
I have lightened hair from bleaching a year ago and would like to dye my hair back to its original color again. I usually use L'oreal but took interest in the Clairol's Natural Instincts line. I originally planned on buying Natural Instincts Ebony Mocha/Brown-Black but read from reviews that the color was actually darker than what is shown on the box. So, I chickened out because I didn't want my hair turning too dark or black. I have a similar hair color to this celebrity:
http://d1i45kki000yqu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/iu-tumblr.png
What other color from the Natural Instincts line would you recommend to achieve the hair color in the photo? or...What other ammonia-free/semi-permanent color and brand would you recommend?
Thank you in advance!
Answer
Going back to its original color just takes you longer to get there, if you add another layer of hair dye on your hair.
Celebrity wears two-tone hair dye all the time, trying to grow out their dye. They call that the ombre style.
Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.
Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.
Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.

London, Feb 20, 2013 I've been saying that since 2009.
Hair dyes, which include home hair colouring kits and those used at pricey salons, are linked to deadly cancer-causing chemicals, warn scientists. In 2009 the Mail revealed that women who used hair dyes more than nine times a year had a 60% greater risk of contracting blood cancer.
A year later the European Commission banned 22 hair dyes which put long-term users at risk of bladder cancer. < < < <â¨
Google: Teen 'feared she would die' after reaction to hair dye
The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Halloweâen party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11
The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. Itâs made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. Itâs well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time.
Skin specialist Najjia Ashraf reveals that there are barely any dyes that donât contain this toxin; even the ones who claim they donât, are not being honest. âBig brands often escape the blame by suggesting they are ammonia-free. However, ammonia and PPD are two very different things and PPD is present in nearly every dye because it is what gives off the colour,â she explains.
Google: A 38-year old mother left in a coma after using hair dye. SHE DYED HER HAIR MANY TIMES BEFORE, USING THE SAME BRAND. The British woman who went into coma after a reaction to hair dye has died after a year. Updated 11-25-12. The woman suffered a heart failure, struggled for breath and became unconsciousness. Her family blamed paraphenylenediamine, a chemical found in hair colour. Her family has now called for paraphenylenediamine to be banned from home dye kits. In 2000, a 38-year-old Indian-origin woman from Birmingham, Narinder Devi, died after an allergic reaction to hair dye.

What are close to all natural hair and skin care that can be bought?
Labels:
beauty and health usa
Miss.Neash
why do natural hair product have 2 be bought on the internet and not in the usa. like at a reqular store
what are some name of shampoo that has natural ingredients that can be bought at CVS, Gaint?
Answer
When looking for natural hair products you have to be careful because most big stores carry products that say they are natural and there might be natural ingredients like vitamins and minerals but they will also have other non natural ingredients. This is because most shampoo products at CVS or Walgreens are mass produced and sold everywhere (quantity not quality). All natural products are not mass produced and sold at the same volume and in order to make the marketing feasible they cater to people like yourself looking especially for all natural products. So for all natural products you could try a natural products store or a specialty health and beauty store. Ex. origins.com or carolsdaughter.com

Can the double standard in America be politically justified?
Q. Where in the Constitution does it say minorities have more rights then whites? Im speaking on terms of organizations like the NAACP, The NEw Black Panther Party, and The United Negro College Fund. As well as black organizations started by Van Jones and others alike him.
How is this legal in the USA? Why are whites not allowed to create organizations like these?

Answer
Could you IMAGINE the outrage is there was an "all white version" of BET (black entertainment television)? Oh my goodness, it would be awful. What about if we had an all white beauty pageant?
Al Sharpton would be on every channel.
I don't think we SHOULD have a white version of BET, but I don't believe in the double standards either. Affirmative action, at it's best.
I just really wish people would start opening their minds, and when *thinking* of something ask the question...how would *I* feel if tables were turned? How would I truly feel if one name was inserted in place of the other (ie...Bush instead of Obama....what would a liberal say if Bush was trying to pass this monstrosity of a health care bill...what would liberals say if Bush has nominated a KKK member to a czar position, like Van Jones the black panther) That's what I try to do to decide whether something is "right" or not.
And for the record, I'm native american. You don't see me crying racism all the time. I'll make my own luck in this world, and I don't need special organizations to do it for me, tyvm.
if ANYONE should be screaming about stuff going on in this country, it should be the native americans.
Speaking of which, I hope all of you for the government health care fairs better than we do under the native american healthcare act. I suggest you take a trip to a local native community and see how it's run under the government.....you won't be impressed.

Where to find a user manual for a 'bc-11d' beauty health massage chair?
Chris
I am visiting my parents house and they have a massage chair. Model Number: bc-11d
Its brand is beauty health. I searched online and I am having trouble finding any kind of manual. Does anyone know where to find a manual or know how to operate one? They have a lot of questions of which I can not answer.
Answer
If search engines and manufacturer websites are of no help then ask a manual search agency (like http://manualfox.com ) - They do a great job.
The service is not for free, but often worthy - you only pay if they find what you are asking for.

has anyone ever had a reaction to serious skin care sold on HSN?
Labels:
skin care vitamins
darktwosug
I had a reaction including swelling when using all varieties of serious skin care glycolic vitamin c etc. Has this happened to anyone else. I told my derma. he said it might be the preservatives they use.
Answer
Hi
There are a number of ingredients in mass market skin care products that can cause irritations, Some of these chemicals were developed for industrial use; propylene glycol adds body and a smooth texture to products such as shampoo, but began life as industrial antifreeze; sodium lauryl sulphate is a foaming agent that started out as, and is still used as an engine degreaser. Other chemicals that can cause problems include parabens, petrochemicals, artificial colours and preservatives. Unfortunately these are very common in skin care products.
So I suggest you replace your current skin care products with ones that are more natural. Look for products that:
â¢are Certified Organic
â¢have natural products in their ingredients lists
â¢contain do not contain petrochemicals, parabens, or sulphates.
â¢use natural preservatives like tea tree oil, or a combination of various essential oils that have antimicrobial activity (eg lavender, lemon, rose, rosemary, sage, sandalwood), grape seed extract or honey.
Avoid products that:
â¢have the word âorganicâ or ânaturalâ in their brand name but donât have organic certification.
â¢have lots of chemical sounding names in the ingredients list
I hope this helps
Cheers Sonya

How hard is it to find a Career in Aesthetics in Columbus, Ohio?
Labels:
skin care laser
Starr
I am currently a LMT and in school for nursing. I will begin classes in March for Aesthetics. Eventually I would like to work in the medical end of skin care or a spa that offers laser treatments, chemical peels and so on. For now though I would like to know what I am up against as far as job placement in just Aesthetics and how competetive my long term goal is.
Answer
I have been in the professional spa products business for over 10 years. During that time, I've seen a lot of spas open and close and a lot of estheticians move from spa to spa.
It's a hard living and not very stable. Get in with a good spa such as Mario's International in OH. Learn a lot and don't fall into the temptation to start your own spa - they have a high failure rate.
Oh, and take a business class at the local adult school.
Good luck.

What skin products should I be using?
Zoe
I have normal to dry skin with pores that get clogged very easily. Also I have very large pores. I would like a very good skin care system that I can do day/night. Is it time to go high end? What are the best products to use.
I do not have any acne what so ever just white heads here and there.
Answer
High end or over the counter works, but less products you use, the better for your skin in the long run. It is a billion dollar business, less product poisoning, no matter who made them or how much you spend or how often you use them.
In the beauty industry, there is no industry-agreed meaning for terms like 'organic' or 'natural'. Unlike the food industry, these terms are not regulated for cosmetics which means companies can use these terms pretty freely
Don't believe the hype: "For skin care products, 'organic is not enough,. Some organic products are fabulous, and some are not." ~ Dr. Lisa Chipps , M.D. specializes in removing skin cancer & repairing the resultant wound (laser therapy whiz) in Rodeo Drive.
"Organic skin care products are trendy, but that does not mean nonorganic ones are dangerous," Wendy E. Roberts, M.D. past president of the Women's Dermatologic Society.

Any kind of facial wash, you're leaving something toxic behind, it's not a matter of convenience, it's a billion dollar business that can do more harm than good to your acne. And sometimes we feel entirely virtuous about our skin-care regimen because it's full of SPF-- all year round!-- and cleansers and such. But the truth is, we may not realize that we're overdoing (or underdoing) something that can lead to the very thing we're trying to avoid: dryness, breakouts, accelerated aging, New York dermatologist Dr. Jeannette Graf. (been giving this same advice for decades, but she's proof enough!).
Take a shower everyday, use washcloth to exfoliate and bath & body wash. Hydrogen peroxide does wonders for acne. Visit their website for more tips & other uses. ONLY $1.
Acne medication could worsen what ever allergies you have, so instead of trying out one product after another, you're actually spreading it around.
The less products you use, the better for your skin. Use a bath & body wash like Suave, Irish Spring, Dove Body & Face wash in the shower, use a washcloth. Treat your face like the rest of your body, take a shower everyday or wash your face everyday.
The secret is keeping your face clean and oil-free. I also don't use liquid on my face for anything, and very little moisturizer, not even a dime size. Since my face is not dry. Good skin also comes from your good genes. Increase your fresh fruits & vegetables 3-5 servings per day. And programmed your mind to do this day after day, for the rest of your life.
The beauty industry is a billion dollar business, they know acne is everyone's problem, but instead of saying soap is drying for you, they have to invent an acne product that can worsen the skin as MANY TEENAGERS have experienced during hormonal change, but as you get older those are completely a waste of time & money!
Sometimes just the oil on your face from make up and lotions, even from your hair can travel to your face causing acne to come out. Others, from stress, hormones & diet or foods.
Google: FIVE FOODS TO EAT FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN
All the vitamins & minerals you need for good skin care comes from all the healthy foods you eat from Mother Nature.
If acne's a problem, your pillowcases may be part of the cause. "They collect skin oil, dead skin cells, bacteria, and excess night creams," says David Bank, a professional Dermatology @ Columbia University/New York-Presbyterian Hospital. "But if nothing changed by 6 week the product will never work for you. Time to move on."
