How is mineral makeup especially helpful for people undergoing chemotherapy?
Labels:
skin care zinc oxide
wishfulthi
Is it b/c their skin is more sensitive after the treatments? Do the minerals help heal the skin?
Any particularly good brands?
Answer
First off, my mother has small cell carcinoma and has finished her rounds of chemo and radiation. DO NOT USE drugstore brands mineral makeup. The reason for this is because they are NOT all natural and they contain harmful chemicals that have been known and are still being tested for causing cancers. I am also sure you have heard about a conection between parabean preservatives and cancer, well BARE ESCENTUALS -LIES! They are NOT all natural. They DO use parabean preservatives in their mineral veils and skin care products and it is not good for your skin. They also use Bismuth oxychloride which is a CHEAP mineral that can cause irritation aggravation and rash. My mother uses faerie organic minerals. http://www.faerieorganic.com they are the best. They are NATURAL! No preservatives AT ALL! No cheap fillers (cornstarch, talc etc) They are good for your skin. They are more high end then bare escentuals as they use an expensive mineral called Boron Nitride that is anti-bacterial and skin perfecting and soothing. They also have anti inflammatory properties due to the zinc oxide. She loves them and knowing they are adamant about being natural makes us all feel good (especially since she is getting compliments about her skin, even while going through chemo). You have to read the reviews on their site. She also uses their skincare as it is ALL natural and organic. They have a sample kit of their makeup for free (you just pay shipping-like $5.99) Please check it out, I highly recommend this brand for cancer patients! ~

How do i get my skin to be more clearer?
anonymous
I dont have any pimples but my skin isnt as clear as i want it to be? What should i do to help?
Answer
Water and tea are useful because they help the skin release toxins and to lessen acne.
Drink plenty of water on a daily basis. This helps to sustain your skinâs suppleness, and it is also necessary for helping your body to get rid of toxic in the form of sweat. Thatâs why Jogging and other work out are important to skin care. They increase blood circulation and bring more oxygen to tissues and also let you sweat. The recommendation is to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and to do a daily work out to flush out toxins that has bacteria which are harmful to the skin. These ways are not only excellent for your health and skin; they are also cheap ways to getting rid of acne forever.
Eating fresh fruit and vegetables build up the bodyâs protection system against bacteria and helps quicker healing of acne. Vitamin C is responsible for the skins general function and its capability to repair itself and to produce and keep collagen. Fruits and vegetables are very good sources of Vitamin C and A. Adding fruits and vegetables with high substance of vitamin C and A to your daily diet is a good way to let acne cure naturally.
Melaleuca oil is at this time one of the best home acne remedies. Melaleuca oil is applied topically as an anti-infective agent. The use of melaleuca oil is fast gaining popularity in the world because of its ability to treat and fight skin blemishes as well as curing acne in your skin. As one of the leading home acne remedies it has been a better alternative to a number of over the counter drugs in the market today. Melaleuca oil has been shown effective for bacterial infections as acne.
Zinc is an essential requirement for a healthy body as it helps cells reproduce. It is widely recognized that lack of zinc can contribute to acne. The recommended dietary allowance of zinc from puberty on is 11mg for males and 8mg for females, with higher amounts recommended during pregnancy. Zinc seals and protects the skin. Zinc oxide has been used for generations to relieve itching. Zinc sulfate is effective in treating some cases of acne.
Lessen the use of cosmetics as much as possible. These block pores. If you must put on makeup, make sure that you are using products for sensitive skin. Splash your face with cold water before applying, and make sure you wash all the makeup away before going to bed.
**Also try toothpaste, it works like a charm!!!
And do not wash your face 5 times a day, or its gonna get REALLY dry!

Are there any good skin care products out there for someone with dry and sensitive skin?
sade211
I've always came across skin care products that were either or but never both....
Answer
Facials are what we do for skin maintenance atleast once a every 3months. For regular hygiene do steam regularly. Don't poke or extract your blackheads harshly like there is no tomorrow. i do believe that we have the same, oily to combination skin type, especially around our T-Zone. It is interesting for people to think that avoiding creams can help solve oily skin. But its wrong. You just have to find the right-based cream. Cream and Water-based works best for skin like ours. Veer away from oil based creams during day time, you can use them during the night.
You can best help your skin if you do the 3-step facial regimen: wash, tone and moisturize. Washing helps remove dust that accumulated on the surface of the skin, toning provides additional cleaning as well as it preps the skin by removing dead skin cells that can just block healthy cells' absorption of the third step, the moisturizer.
The key is to be able to find the right product to help you with your problem. I can suggest the brand: Mario Badescu. They have a line of products that really is good for our type of skin, I personally recommend the Enzyme Cleansing Wash, Cucumber Toner and the best HONEY MOISTURIZER. If you use these products, they don't have the same ''stretched-dry-skin" that other products leave. This is often the misconception of people, that dryness and no oil means clean skin. What Mario Badescu does is gently and effectively clean it. Plus they're natural.
For additional cleaning and maintenance on acne, try their DRYING LOTION pink stuff that you put on your pimples which dries it, it stings but the stingy signals that it works. ACNE GEL, which serves as your drying lotion maintenance during day time. To Remove black marks that are left by acne, use their GLYCOLIC WASH and BUFFER LOTION. Check out their line of products online. I dont work for them, its just that they really work and i would like to share it with you.
Kudos to a healthier skin.

How much does professional child day care cost in the Los Angeles area for a 2 month old newborn?
Labels:
skin care professionals
I am 29 weeks pregnant and I won't be getting maternity leave because I have my own business doing massage & skin care, so once my son is born, I can only afford to MAYBE take 1-2 months off of work altogether. I need to find him some decent child care, some one trust worthy and professional. My mother-in-law can take care of him maybe 1-2 days a week, but I do not want to depend on that...
Answer
Maybe you can incorporate your new bundle into the business after a month or so you will feel a lil better and i dunno if your business is at home or elsewhere but you could do a few here and there and have a bassinet by and later they make these fences in a circle and the baby can play inside without being hurt. I dunno about child care. These days its really yourself you can trust and sometimes you cant even rely on that! LOL!! I have 2 kids and i stay at home. My mother in law would keep them forever if she had her way. I would take things slow and consider getting an assistant. Someone who you trust to care for you and the baby. She can watch out the baby while you do a rub down and she can fill in if baby gets too fussy. I hope you figure it all out and remember if it weren'tnt for that baby you wouldn't have any drive, Well you will see waht i mean after you have it!

What is the best skin care regimen for normal skin?
MauiShaveI
I need a good, 3 step skin care regimen without Salicylic Acid. Help!
Answer
Hello,
I'm confused by your question. You use the word normal skin and salicylic acid at the same time. I'm going to guess you used something for acne that contained salicylic acid and it didn't work well for you.
I would like to know what your skin is like. Do you have any issues? i.e. Dull looking, brown spots, red/irritated, crepey looking skin, crows feet, fine lines, deep lines, or large pores. We're so conditioned to talk about our skin in terms of oily or dry or normal that we lose sight of the issues that bother us.
Feel free to expand upon your question more, so I can give you a precise answer or try the Free skin tool listed in the reference source below. Most people have something they don't like about their skin, so let's start with that.

Feel free to expand upon your question more, so I can give you a precise answer or try the Free skin tool listed in the reference source below. Most people have something they don't like about their skin, so let's start with that.

I have terrible dry skin on my hands and legs ,pink acne scars on my cheeks and an oily forhead.I'm going home for christmas and am goin to wear a beautiful dress that looks great on my skin tone.I just want my skin to glow.I have access to freshly made carrot and orange juices only (no vegetable juice) everyday. Will this help? Also how many glasses a day should I consume.Also whatelse can I do ?
Answer
I am not sure there are any quick fixes for your skin, but there are items that can help in time with both your dry and oily skin areas and with the scars as well. Foremost of all is to incorporate a healthy diet and lifestyle and make sure that you are getting plenty of all the essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients needed for optimum health - and drink plenty of good,clean water. A great all around nutritional product is IntraMAX, which contains 415 essential nutrients. We take it around here and swear by it. Another good one is Dr. Mercola's Whole Food Multivitamin Plus.
The biotin suggestion is an excellent one. Good supplements for the skin include hyaluronic acid and silica.
Carrot and orange juice are both good choices. Here is some informaton about important juices and other suggestions for you regarding skin health:
Pomegranate - The hundreds of ruby-colored seeds inside pomegranates were once thought to symbolize fertility, and given the fruit's proven powers as a strong antioxidant, it has given birth to a huge number of products, including designer juice and high-end skin-care creams. The pomegranate's power comes from ellagic acid, a type of polyphenol, which is an antioxidant found in red wine and green tea. Antioxidants seek out and neutralize cell-damaging free radicals that come from the environment (pollution, UV rays) and from the body's natural aging process. Ellagic acid has been shown in some studies to neutralize free radicals more effectively than the other polyphenols found in green tea and red wine. It's also more stable in skin-care products than some other antioxidants, like vitamin C, which can lose potency when exposed to light and air.
Grapefruit - Until the 19th century, grapefruit was grown purely as an ornamental fruit. Rarely eaten, it was known only for its looks - an interesting harbinger of its modern-day promise to improve ours. A 2005 study by the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, in Chicago, showed that the scent of grapefruit on women made them seem an average of six years younger to men. Grapefruit's main use in skin care, however, is as a citric acid. Like any alpha hydroxy acid, citric acid loosens the bonds between skin cells, allowing dead ones to fall away, revealing smoother, more radiant skin.
Other benefical juices:
* Blackberry juice. The top vitamins for the skin are vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, B12, C and E. Blackberries have all six, including abundant A, C, and E.
* Dark skinned grapes (juice the seeds and all) contain resveratrol, an important compound for anti-aging as well as plenty of vitamin C and ther good vitamins and nutrients.
* Acai - Though terribly over-hyped with some online products and MLM weight-loss schemes, acai is indeed a super healthy juice loaded with anti-oxidants and nutrients that have many benefits, including benefits for the skin.
* Oranges - Besides being loaded with Vitamin C and Vitamin A, a compound found in oranges and other citrus fruits may prevent sun-related damage when applied directly to the skin before sun exposure, say researchers at the Arizona Cancer Center and may have some similar benefits when consumed directly.
* Blueberries are considered to be among the top three healthiest juices, along with pomegranate and acai.
* Raspberries, Dark Cherries, Apple and Strawberry are all very healthy juices loaded with good vitamins and nutrients for the skin and overall health.
* Though not a fruit, carrots and carrot juice are absolutely loaded with vitamin A, which is an essential nutrient in maintaining not only healthy skin, but strong teeth and bones.
Some other skin care suggestions:
* Mushroom - The extract of several Japanese mushrooms has been shown to reduce inflammation, which can affect collagen in the skin and contribute to changes associated with aging, such as the appearance of fine lines. Reducing that inflammation keeps skin cells vital and functioning and also suppresses irritation so that other active ingredients, like antioxidants, can do their jobs. Shiitake mushrooms have multifaceted benefits for the skin. They contain antioxidants that block proteins known to cause cell breakdown; they provide chemical exfoliation; and they also contain kojic acid, which has a lightening effect on age spots and discoloration, making skin appear brighter over time.
* Pumpkin - Despite its prevalence in favorite sweets, such as pies and muffins, pumpkin is quite acidic. And the enzymes in pumpkin act like salicylic acids, chemical exfoliants that encourage skin cells to turn over more rapidly. Pumpkin is also a carotenoid, a derivative of vitamin A, which is indicated by its orange color, and that makes it an antioxidant in addition to having exfoliating properties. Pumpkin seeds are a good source of zinc and have been used as a natural remedy for acne. Studies show that zinc has an effect similar to that of the common antibiotic tetra

Answer
beautiful skin = dewy, even-complexed,youthful, and slightly tanned
first find a great acne cleanser such as Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Micro clear (google). For your body use an Acne soap bar from Clear Essence (google) which is a Black skin care line.
2nd- exfoliate you can use simple sugar, and oatmeal mix or you can buy wonderful scrubs. Or skip this and buy disposable scrubbing pads for the whole body (only $5 at a drugstore)
3rd- mix a good night cream (doesn't have to be expensive CVS generic brand is perfect) and your favorite skin oil and rub along your face and entire body. Use a separate eye serum( Eye blossom by be.fine) Get your feet good too and slip on moisture socks for sleeping.
4th- wake up apply a SPF15-30 for winter SPF40-70 during summer.
Added tips- Try to use a nutrient rich face mask once a week, and a facial peel once a month
Drink daily reccomended water ( i love Whole foods huge bottle water 36 fl oz), take a multivitamin, eat nuts, leafy greens, and fish

Is it okay to use conditioning treatment twice a week?
Labels:

Aryeah
I am planning on alternately using the Conditioning Treatment Wax and Extra Shine Treatment Wax interchangeably.
Additional info:
I have thick but recently relaxed Asian black hair. I will be applying bubble hair dye on it in a few days. Thanks in advance!
Answer
I'm Asian, and I don't use treatment on my hair.
Washing less often, builds the natural oil your hair needs, to get them smoother, shinier, silkier, softer. Man-made products are just temporary, until you wash them again, and at the same time washing off the natural oil your hair NEEDS. Hair products just absorb on your hair if they're dry, like a sponge.
Jessica Simpson have figured it out, she said she wash her hair every week. She used to abuse her hair, then start selling hair extensions because her hair starting falling from all the chemicals, but she woke up and found out how to keep her hair healthy AGAIN.
The hair industry is a billion dollar business, they sell products that cleans & condition the hair. They also sell products that damage and causes hair loss. They also DO NOT give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss due to 'abuse'. Mechanical, chemical, or thermal styling. Hair straighteners and relaxers top the hair products pose the greatest risks. Hair relaxers, related products marketed heavily to African-American women, are dangerous because they may contain powerful chemicals such as lye, a toxic substance also used in drain cleaners.
The ONLY thing you should be doing to your relaxed hair is:
Shampoo & condition the hair as usual, every 4-7 days, but continue to trim off the damaged hair, allowing new growth to take over. Use GENTLE shampoo. Applying a small drop amount of oil to wet hair can also act as a leave-in conditioner and provides excellent conditioning in preparation for the next shampooing.
As long as you continue to 'abuse' your hair, your hair will not improve. Hair straighteners are known as hair relaxers, keratin treatments and hair-smoothing products. They work by breaking and reforming the chemical bonds in keratin, which is the main protein that gives shape to each hair.

Past users of the product have complained of sore throat, skin irritation, headaches, chest pain and rashes, among other symptoms. That may have something to do with the fact that the levels of formaldehyde found in the product rival those typically used in funeral embalming. Thatâs a lot of formaldehyde.
Reps for the company swear itâs all a misunderstanding. And the product labels itself âno formaldehydeâ and âformaldehyde free.â The company has until September 12 to get its affairs in order, or risk having its product seized by the FDA. âWe have been tested countless times by OSHA,â the companyâs CEO Mike Brady told NPR. âAnd we have never exceeded a safety standard ever.â Right now, they are fighting with the FDA, but will continue to give what customers want,. Buyer beware!
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.
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.
Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.

What is the best brand of shampoo and conditioner to use for African American kinky hair?
Labels:
beauty and health forum
casey
Now I have very unmanageable hair, and it drives me crazy! I swear every brand that I use only makes my hair more complicated. Another thing is that my hair is very dry and it seems that no matter how much I moisturize it, it is still dry. I really don't know what to do much anymore, and the salon is too expensive, I'm about to be going to college so I can't afford to be going to the salon every week to manage my hair. I want to learn how to manage my hair on my own.
Answer
I'm assuming you're natural. Many naturals end up doing their own hair because they find that many beauticians they encounter do not know how to properly handle natural hair, plus it saves a lot of money.
Of course, the only way to find the right products for your hair is to experiment. My advice is to buy your products from a place that offers a return policy or money back guarantee, like Walgreen's, so if you use it and it doesn't work then you can return it and get your money back, and buy something else.
I'm not sure what you mean by unmanageable. If you mean your hair is hard to comb through, then, yeah, that happens with hair that's wavy, curly, and extremely curly/coily/kinky. If you mean hair that won't lie down then that's just the nature of how afro-textured hair grows. None of these things are really problems because it's all in how you handle them. If you mean hair that constantly forms knots then you can visit some natural hair care forums to see how other people deal with them. So, I don't know what you mean by "unmanageable hair."
Since your hair is naturally dry then its best to use sulfate-free shampoos. Sulfates are common in shampoos and this ingredient dries out the hair. It's best to switch to natural or organic shampoos and conditioners because they contain fewer harsh ingredients compared to regular shampoos/conditioners. Yes to Carrots and Giovanni are two of many organic hair care lines. You can buy organic/natural hair care lines at many places, including health foods stores and some Walgreen's.
Also, are you sealing in your moisture with a natural oil, like olive oil? It might be easier to keep your hair moisturized longer because of the hot summer weather. I put coconut oil in my hair every night before bed and rinse it in the morning and give my hair lots of moisture and keeps it healthy. I also do a moisturizing deep conditioner 1-2 times a week to keep it moisturized; I use Neutrogena Triple Moisture Recovery Hair Mask and this is great for infusing moisture into my very dry hair.
Right now, I use a product called Wen cleansing conditioner. This is a conditioner that gets my hair clean like shampoo would and it's also a deep conditioner and leave-in all in one. Its pretty expensive, but its a good alternative to using shampoo, and it won't dry out your hair, which is why I love it. With consistent use it will help your hair retain moisture better over time. Another thing you can do to retain moisture is to baggy overnight. I use natural oils like coconut, jojoba, or olive oils when I baggy. Just buy a conditioning cap, oil your hair at night, put on the plastic baggy and put your regular sleeping cap/scarf over it, and take it off in the morning. Your hair will be soggy or wet, but after a while you'll notice that you're hair is retaining moisture better. You can also use other products, like moisturizers, to baggy with; oils works best for my hair, but everyone's hair is different. It took me 2 weeks of baggying every night to get over extreme dryness from 13 years of relaxing.
Also, raw Shea and Cocoa butters are great moisturizers for your skin and hair. When I use them I find that I can go a few days without moisturizing. You can find them at health foods stores and shea butter can also be found in ethnic shops like African and Jamaican. I'm talking raw, so you can't find them in regular beauty supply stores. Also, with the oils, you can mix them with your other hair products for a better effect; I've mixed jojoba and olive oil with all my hair products for an extra moisturizing effect. Also, curl activator in cream form will work to keep your hair moisturized. I used Hawaiian Silky last summer and it was great for my hair, and I don't remember my hair getting dry. If you use a curl activator then you don't have to seal with an oil. The only thing a curl activator will do is define your natural curls/coils (unless you're 4b with no curl pattern) and moisturize your hair, nothing more. Other hair care brands you can try that I've heard great reviews about: Carol's Daughter and Mixed Chicks, but there are many, many more specifically designed for extremely curly or kinky hair.
Good luck.

How to find the right makeup?
Labels:

Q. My skin is sometimes oily but only on my nose, chin and right over my eyebrows, it's not dry.
I have some dark spots/ scars that I want to cover and I want matte flawless skin.
I'm half asian and half european so my skin is very white but I like to use self tan sometimes because I don't wear any other makeup than powder and eyebrow liner. But I want to stop using self tanner, and use normal makeup instead.
It looks like I have no makeup on at all. You know like dark circles under eyes, scars or red marks on face.
What makeup should I look for?
Concealer?, foundation etc.. what type etc.
THANK YOU :)

What makeup should I look for?
Concealer?, foundation etc.. what type etc.
THANK YOU :)
Answer
First, WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF MAKEUP! I would consider myself highly knowledgeable in the world of makeup so I hope I can help!
First, it sounds like you have oily to combination skin, which is very common. One of the BEST foundations out there for you is the Revlon Colorstay in the Oily/Combination skin formula. It does have a lot of shades as well so that would work with your fair skin.
http://www.revlon.com/Revlon-Home/Products/Face/Foundation/ColorStay-Makeup-with-SoftFlex-for-Combination-Oily-Skin.aspx
Also, BB Creams (Beauty Balm Cream, it's sort of like foundation and skincare in one!) work really well on fair and oily skin. It may be difficult finding one that fits your exact skin tone, but my favorite is the Skin 79 BB Cream! I adore this!
http://www.amazon.com/SKIN79-Super-Beblesh-Triple-Function/dp/B0020ZEA40
For concealer, I would recommend something that's going to give you the best coverage. I would recommend getting a concealer palette (it has many different shades and a correcter). I have heard amazing things about one from Sonia Kashuk (you can get it from Target). I personally have yet to try it, so I can't give a guaranteed result.

For under your eyes, I would recommend doing something brightening to remove the darkness. The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind is AMAZING!
http://www.target.com/p/maybelline-instant-age-rewind-light-concealer-2-oz/-/A-13521051#prodSlot=medium_1_4
For powder, I would recommend a translucent powder, which means it's very light or white (as in it doesn't show the "color" of the powder on your face). I have yet to find one that I really like, so I'm not going to recommend anything for that.
For blush, I would recommend something pink or peachy, to give your skin some color and a radiant glow.
http://www.target.com/p/milani-baked-blush/-/A-13785644#prodSlot=medium_1_10&term=milani
For eyes, I would keep it simple and maybe use a brown eyeliner and mascara. This will make you look more polished, but still natural.

Mascara - www.target.com/p/maybelline-volum-express-the-falsies-flared-mascara-very-black/-/A-13521384#prodSlot=medium_1_6
For lips, simple is always best! Maybelline Baby Lips are amazing! They are tinted lip balms, which means that while hydrating your lips, they give a tint of color! I would recommend starting with clear and then working your way to brighter colors!
I hope you find use in this!
Good luck!

Make up tips for oily skin?
Rebekah
I have really oily skin and my make up doesn't last but for 45 minutes. Are there any tips or products that I can use to make my make up last? If so that would be great!
Answer
You need a good skincare routine, primer (mac sucks but will provide great option), oil free foundation and setting powder. I also have EXTREMELY oily skin that used to get oily every half hour before I developed a few routines. This is one of my routines that keeps me matte the entire day no matter how hot/humid and keeps my makeup on looking fresh as if it's just been applied:
Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean cleanser morning and night.
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant every morning.
Witch hazel as toner morning and night.
1-2 nights a week jurlique or decleor purifying masks. Alba Botanica deep sea facial mask is a good option too though.
Desert Essence thoroughly clean oil control lotion as moisturizer in the morning (perfect under makeup), pure jojoba oil from jason natural as moiturizer at night after cleansing. Even oily skin needs to be moisturized. Not moisturizing it can actually make it oilier. These are the ideal options as they balance skin and trick skin into producing less oil. They moisturize appropriately, not make you greasy.
In the morning after oil control lotion absorbs apply thin layer of PLAIN milk of magnesia to the entire face with makeup sponge and allow it to dry. After it dries smooth out white spots and they will disappear. Next apply Skindinavia No More shine. These combined together = the greatest matifying primer, a miracle for oily skin.
Next you can apply any foundation/tinted moisturizer/bbcream/mineral veil etc as long as it is OIL-FREE with a matte finish. I personally don't like heavy coverage because that can feel sweaty.
I love using revlon mineral mousse or bourjois matte minerals from drugstore, skin79 hot pink triple function bb cream or baviphat magic girls magic bb cream spf 30 for bb cream, or bella pierre, lumiere cosmetics veena velvet, lily lolo, fairie organics, joppa full or soft coverage, monave liquid matte minerals, alima pure satin matte, afterglow cosmetics organic mineral, jane iredale liquid or powder, amazing cosmetics velvet etc for mineral foundation. Only full coverage foundation that I find feels lightweight and looks natural are any yaby, illuminaire matte, prescriptives flawless skin + virtual matte, their mineral foundations and virtual skin are also nice.
Again these are just my suggestions, try anything oil free just avoid mac because their primers/foundations/concealers/powders do nothing for oily skin. They make it worse and break it out. Also avoid loreal, covergirl, maybelline as they do nothing for oily control and break you out, also tested on animals!!!
If you need concealer apply it first if wearing mineral powder foundation, second if wearing liquid/mousse etc...
Set everything with Jurlique Citrus Silk finishing powder, Lumiere Cosmetics Veena Veil, Hard Candy Welcome Matte or LA Minerals oil control. Best finishing powders for oily skin that I've ever tried.
Now apply skindinavia no more shine again. This routine will keep your face matte all day as promised. It works for me and everyone I've recommend it to who tried it.
If you wear eye makeup, try urban decay primer potion then apply powder eyeshadow, waterproof eyeliner, waterproof mascara. For bronzer/blush if you wear, again stick to powder.
Good luck!

What is the minimum thickness of skin required for Wikipedians who are not sysops?
Labels:
skin care quotes
Nancy
I'm talking in the practical sense, not the theoretical sense. You can quote all the Wikipedia policies and guidelines you want, but when you factor in selective enforcement and use of the policies against the victims they supposedly protect, a very different picture emerges.
Answer
You need a very thick skin, or in the alternative to not care what happens to your contributions. Since they have no problem slandering celebrities, it is no big deal to them to slander regular people, to make all sorts of absurd accusations.
Also, you have to understand that they don't care about your credentials, because even if they were able to confirm them they wouldn't care. So if you bother to add content to a topic you're an expert in, don't let it bother you when it all gets reverted for no good reason at all.

What are good love quotes to use for Lolita?
Sierra
I have to write a thematic analysis about the book Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov and I need some quotes about love,obsession,youth, or innocence that relate to the story and the theme.
Answer
I have little left in myself -- I must have you. The world may laugh -- may call me absurd, selfish -- but it does not signify. My very soul demands you: it will be satisfied, or it will take deadly vengeance on its frame.â
â Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
He did not care if she was heartless, vicious and vulgar, stupid and grasping, he loved her. He would rather have misery with one than happiness with the other.â
â W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage
âI would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.â
â Margaret Atwood
Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you.
Seal my ears, I'll go on hearing you.
And without feet I can make my way to you,
without a mouth I can swear your name.
Break off my arms, I'll take hold of you
with my heart as with a hand.
Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat.
And if you consume my brain with fire,
I'll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.â
â Rainer Maria Rilke
âI want her to melt into me, like butter on toast. I want to absorb her and walk around for the rest of my days with her encased in my skin.
â Sara Gruen, Water for Elephants
âI desire to be with you. I miss you. I feel lonely when I can't see you. I am obsessed with you, fascinated by you, infatuated with you. I hunger for your taste, your smell, the feel of your soul touching mine.â
â Jack Llawayllynn, Indulgence
What could have made her peaceful with a mind
That nobleness made simple as a fire,
With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind
That is not natural in an age like this
Being high and solitary and most stern?
Why, what could she have done, being what she is?
Was there another Troy for her to burn?â
â W.B. Yeats, The Collected Poems
I don't possess these thoughts I have --- they possess me. I don't possess these feelings I have --- They obsess me.â
â Ashly Lorenzana
If you ever looked at me once with what I know is in you, I would be your slave.â
â Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
I must get my soul back from you; I am killing my flesh without it.â
â Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

What are some of the customs, meals, jobs, and other aspects of daily life for a citizen of ancient Pompeii?
Labels:
beauty and health exhibition
beauty and health exhibition image
Q.
Answer
Daily life in ancient Pompeii.----------------Archaeological excavations of Pompeii represent an exceptional source of information about daily life in Pompei and in Roman Empire under the rule of Emperor Tito. Historians wrote about daily life in Roman times, a routine that was not different from the one of our grandparents. Life was made of simple actions and it was actually far from our âstressfulâ life.
HORA PRIMA DIURNA (4.27-5.42): Since there was no electricity, people had to live according to the ârhythmsâ of the sun. They got up very early in the morning to start their work. Only a few houses had water so most citizens had to go to take water at public fountains. Water was very important, this is why it was used with great parsimony. For their personal care and to wash themselves, Romans went to thermal baths. For breakfast, they ate bread and cheese, maybe with vegetable or anything left. Barberâs shops opened at sunrise: these shops were also a place to chat and relax.
HORA SECUNDA (5.42-6.58): Everyone was at work, from noble merchants to slaves. Shops were open, markets were ready, farmers were in the fields. Everyone was performing his/her personal job.
HORA QUARTA (8.13-9.29): streets were crowded, market was full of life, sellers sold and citizens bought what they needed. In the forum people walked, talked, discussed about problems of the town.
HORA SEPTIMA (12.00-13.15): this was the moment for relax. Sometimes rich noblemen offered to the town an exhibition of gladiators and so people went to the amphitheatre. This was a very cruel and violent show: we could not appreciate it today. Some people consider the gladiators and their performances like the football matches of today. Fans fought as they do today. After a terrible fight between fans from Pompeii and fans from Nocera that provoked several deaths, the shows with gladiators were prohibited for several years. Nero restored them to satisfy a request by Poppea, who came from Pompeii. This is also the perfect moment for a break made of bread, cake, fish, fruits, etc.
HORA OCTAVA (13.15-14.31): this is the moment of thermal baths. They were cheap and also slaves can use them. This was the best way to allow people to wash themselves also relaxing or having fun in a period in which only a few houses were provided with water. Average life expectancy during Roman age was 35 years, more than the previous and the following period. Romans could not know that the most important discovery for human health was hygiene.
Today we cannot understand why they passed from hot water to cold water. But thermal baths do not have to be considered as modern beauty farms. They were also the place for business and politics. People also exercised in these facilities: âmens sana in corpore sanoâ.
HORA DECIMA (15.46-17.20): a short time before sunset, Romans had dinner eating olives and eggs and if they could afford it, also fish, meat, cakes. They did not have many possibilities of entertainment. Streets were not a safe place. So they went to bed early.

What is the bulgarian culture like in general?
Answer
For thirteen centuries, Bulgaria - the cradle of Slav culture, the land of Orpheus and Spartacus has given the world men of great achievements, mysterious Thracian treasures and burial tombs, magnificent frescos and many brilliant examples of ancient applied arts.
Bulgarian festivals and customs date back to ancient times when men tried to appease the natural elements and trembled before their power. Full of beauty, gaiety, mystical voices, fiery dances and brightly colored costumes - Bulgarian folklore has to be seen, felt and experienced!
Fire dancing is the most ancient mysterious ritual - barefooted dancers performing on burning embers. This religious and mystical ritual for expelling illness, for health and fruitfulness is one that must be seen to believe it.
The Festival of Roses is a lovely festival celebrated in the Rose Valley near the town of Kazanluk (at the foot of the Balkan Range) on the first weekend of June every year. The festival is a pageant of beauty in the unique Rose Valley. In the run-up of the event, a Queen Rose beauty contest is held in several rounds. Artists, actors, circus performers, writers and singers flock to Kazanluk at the start of June. The Bulgarian oleaginous rose yields 70 percent of the world's attar of roses used by every perfume company as an essential component of its products.
The history tells that in the Thracian provinces of the Roman Empire, the Thracians grew 12 varieties of roses, one of them known as the "Thracian Rose".
In the 1270, during the crusades, Count de Gruye brought the Damascus rose from Syria to the valley of Kazanlak where conditions proved excellent. Experts claim that Bulgarian roses and rose oil owe their unique properties to the local climate and the generous soil. The temperatures in February, when roses bud, are ideal. The blossoms are picked in May and June, when high humidity is very important. So is the cinnamon-forest soil in the area and, last but not least, the remarkable skills of the Bulgarian rose-oil producers.
Kukeri Carnival held in the region of Dupnitsa and Pernik is a splendid festival of brightly colored masks and costumes which marks the beginning of the spring. Every participant makes his own multi-coloured personal mask, covered with beads, ribbons and woollen tassels. The heavy swaying of the main mummer is meant to represent wheat heavy with grain, and the bells tied around the waist are intended to drive away the evil spirits and the sickness.
The Bulgarian voices are called to be mystery. Experts are still trying to explain the incredible range of the Bulgarian voice and the variety of songs. Its unique sound was universally acknowledged by the fact that the popular Rhodope song "Izlel e Delyu hiadutin" sung by the talented singer Valya Balkanska was recorded on a gold record and was sent as a message to outer space on the American spaceship Voyager in 1977. The world is discovering it again and again at major folklore and song contests in Italy, France, England and Ireland from which the Bulgarian music and dance ensembles invariably walk off with the first prizes.
The folk festivals "Pirin Sings" and Rozhen Sings are the best-known Bulgarian folklore festivals. Last year alone, some 150,000 visitors from Bulgaria and abroad came together to witness the show by the 4,000 performers on each festival. They came not only to see these inspiring events, but also to learn about the curious world of Bulgarian folklore traditions.
Applied crafts have gradually emerged from the narrow frame work of strictly domestic life to become an art which breeds art: Bulgarian embroidery with its intricate geometrical figures, Bulgarian rugs and carpets with their vibrant colours, exquisitely painted Bulgarian ceramics, finely ornamented Bulgarian fretwork and superbly fashioned Bulgarian jewellery.
The Samovodene Market in Veliko Turnovo, the Permanent National Exhibition of Folk Art in Oreshak near Troyan and the Etura architectural and ethnographic complex near Gabrovo are all original museums of the revived beauty of Bulgarian handicrafts. You are bound to find your own particular memento from Bulgaria here - a small carved wooden wine vessel, a Troyan pottery set, a fleecy Rhodope rug, an original piece of silver jewellery, a finely embroidered silk blouse or a colourful carpet.

You are bound to find your own particular memento from Bulgaria here - a small carved wooden wine vessel, a Troyan pottery set, a fleecy Rhodope rug, an original piece of silver jewellery, a finely embroidered silk blouse or a colourful carpet.

Miranda Ro
I have really oily skin and I have no idea what to do about it. My skin is oily but I'm not acne prone, my skin is clear but it's just really oily. Does anyone have a good skin care routine for oily skin? What are some good products that will help? I will consider some expensive products if they are amazing but does anyone have products that are good that come from drugstores or something not very expensive but still good? Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Is it bad to have a skin care routine at 13?
Megan
I asked a question asking if i had a good skin care routine and a lot of people say that i shouldnt use all these chemicals on my skin or even care about my skin at 13.
I just use cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer and acne medication from the dermatologist for my back/chest acne.
it would be gross not to wash my face at all.
i also use spf 35 during the day
is that ok?
Answer
It's AWESOME to develop good skin care routines at a young age. I am VERY impressed that you use an SPF. Since sun is the number one cause of age spots and early wrinkles, you are very smart. Not all chemicals are bad for us! Some of them protect us and maintain us. As you get into your 20s, 30s and beyond, your skin care routine will changes but it's an excellent habit. And when you get older and you have amazing skin, people will say "I wish I took care of myself when I was younger." You go, girl! :-)

What order should I put my Olay Pro-X Skin care on?
Labels:
skin care lab
sing_your_
I recently bought the Olay Pro-X skin care (all 6) and I was just wondering if there was a certain order you were supposed to put the treatment(s) on?
Answer
The directions are under the directions tab on here:
http://www.drugstore.com/qxp208245_333181_sespider/olay_professional/pro_x_anti_aging_starter_protocol.htm
What are the ingredients?
Many beauty products on the market have harmful chemicals in them; do your favorite beauty products contain any of these things?:
* Mineral Oil, Paraffin & Petrolatum â Petroleum products coat the skin like plastic, clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins, which in turn accumulate and can lead to dermatological issues, like slowing cellular development, which can cause you to show earlier signs of aging. Suspected cause of cancer & Disruptive of hormonal activity.
* PARABENS â Such as methyl- propyl- butyl- & ethyl- parabens: Widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic industry (including moisturizers). An estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products contain parabens. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities â mimicking estrogen â and interfere with the bodyâs endocrine system.
* Phenol carbolic acid â Found in many lotions and skin creams. Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma and even death from respiratory failure.
* Propylene glycol â Used as a moisturizer in cosmetics and as a carrier in fragrance oils. Shown to cause dermatitis, kidney or liver abnormalities, may inhibit skin cell growth, and is a skin irritant and sensitizer.
* Acrylamide â Found in many hand and face creams. Linked to mammary tumors in lab research.
* Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) â Found in car washes, engine degreasers, garage floor cleaners⦠and in over 90% of personal care products! SLS breaks down the skinâs moisture barrier, easily penetrates the skin, and allows other chemicals to easily penetrate. Combined with other chemicals, SLS becomes a ânitrosamineâ, a potent class of carcinogen. It can also cause hair loss. SLES is sometimes disguised with the labeling âcomes from coconutâ or âcoconut-derived" - and is found in many popular body washes and toothpastes!
* Toluene â Poison! Danger! Harmful or fatal if swallowed! Harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Made from petroleum or coal tar, and found in most synthetic fragrances. Chronic exposure linked to anemia, lowered blood cell count, liver or kidney damage, and may affect a developing fetus. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) contains toluene. Other names may include benzoic and benzyl.
* WAXES â Such as Paraffin, Candelilla Wax, Carnuba Wax: Waxes are widely used in cleansing creams, eye creams, and moisturizers. Waxes clog pores, creating blackheads and whiteheads. They also smother the skin, which over time creates an enlarged pore problem.
* Lanolin â A yellow, semi-solid, fatty secretion from sheepâs wool is widely used in skin and beauty care products. It can cause an allergic reaction in some people, as well as enlarged pores.
* Acetone â Used in nail polish and nail polish removers, this colorless, volatile liquid is often used in astringents, fresheners, or clarifying lotions. It is extremely toxic and will dehydrate the skin, while speeding up the aging process.
* ALCOHOLS â Such as Isopropyl Alcohol, SD Alcohol 40, Ethyl Alcohol: Alcohols dissolve the bodyâs natural moisturizers and strip the skin of its protection, leaving it vulnerable to infection. Alcohols destroy skinâs pH balance, and since they absorb water, they speed up wrinkling.
* FD&C â When this abbreviation precedes the name of a color, it means that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has certified it as safe for use in drugs and cosmetics, but not food. D&C colors are usually synthetic, coal tar colors. Theyâre toxic and should be avoided when at all possible.
* Dioxane â Found in compounds known as PEG, Polysorbates, Laureth, ethoxylated alcohols. Common in a wide range of personal care products. The compounds are usually contaminated with high concentrations of highly volatile 1,4-dioxane, easily absorbed through the skin. Dioxaneâs carcinogenicity was first reported in 1965 and later confirmed in studies including one from the National Cancer Institute in 1978. Nasal passages and liver are the most vulnerable. Dioxane is easily removed during the manufacturing process by âvacuum strippingâ. Warning: It is a synthetic derivative of coconut. Watch for hidden language on labels, such as âcomes from coconutâ.
IF SO, you should throw them away IMMEDIATELY and Tell ALL your friends and family!!! (Extra-virgin olive and/or coconut oils are great alternative moisturizers, and they contain natural sunscreens, until you find something else without these toxins) Hope this helps!!! Good luck!!!!!

Is there an actual all natural substitute for emulsifying wax?
thea_babee
I make natural skin care products and wanted to find an all natural (as opposed to made from natural) substitute for emulsifying wax. Is there one out there?
Answer
There is only one truly undisputed natural emulsifier. It is a beeswax/borax combination and it takes some lab time to figure out the percentages.
Too much borax and you get grit in your lotion and/or cream. Too much beeswax and you get this glob that is only good for your notes on what not to do.

Labels:

muffin
I heard they are only in sunday papers, but I don't use sunday papers. Is there a good online place where I can easily get the coupons, but does the stores accept print coupons? I heard that certain places will double the coupon face value, but how do I know which company do that? Which companies usually do that? I don't eat much processed food, so maybe coupon wouldn't help me much?
Answer
There are places where you can print out grocery coupons and more from your computer. A friend just recently told me about it...He has printed out over $600 in grocery coupons this last month (March 09).
You can save money with National and Local companies, too!

Could anyone here envision electing politicians with a more humanistic viewpoint?
Gnosisques
By humanistic I mean a view which defines all humans as important, where knowledge and adventure is a greater motivation than wealth and power. Where all people are guaranteed food and shelter; where honesty and integrity replace lies and deception. Where beauty and art is more important than muscles and testosterone.
What say you? None of us are going to get out of this alive and I was just thinking we would all be better off if we worked together?
JR: A small minority of the population is against a peaceful society, about 0.5%. Now we know which percentage you are. Those fighting against society are the true evil people and it is not even one percentage of the population, why should we let them rule?
Answer
It is hard to be Humanistic when 536 Politicians have CONTROL over 310,000,000 Americans.
That is why the founders set up Strong State Government....to put control and power as close to the people as Possible.
That MUCH Power in So Few Hands breeds CORRUPTION and Dishonesty.
Here is my FIX to the Problem:
"All of our Socioeconomical Problems are Caused by 536 Elite, Privileged, Professional, Permanent, Political RULING Class Members in Washington DC, that have TOO Much Control and Power, in which Corruption is the Currency that is RUNNING and RUINING our Countryâ¦.
Contact YOUR Local Media outlets, Government Representatives, Federal, State and LOCAL and DEMAND these 5 SIMPLE STEPS to Fix the TRUE CAUSE to all of our problems:
1) Require States to Pay the Salary, Retirement, Travel and Living Expenses, and Staffing Needs of their own US Senators and Representatives in the House. (They could not set their own pay and benefits that way and be Beholden to those that Elected them, not Washington, DC Special Interests)
2) Legislators can NEVER vote to "Exempt" themselves from any Law they Pass. For Example, healthcare and Insider Trading (both of which they exempted members of Congress from having to comply)
3) Same Term Limits as the President. If you sit out a Term and Run again and your Constituency wants you back you can do 2 more Terms, then sit again. It will Stop Politicians from Making it a Career Choice, rather than Public Service.
4) Turn over Control and Funding of the Dept. of Ed, EPA, Dept of Commerce, Health and Social Services, Land Management, Parks, etc, Back to the States to Operate as they deem appropriate for their Respective States. IF Congress did not have CONTROL of Purse Strings, they would not be such a BIG, Corrupt Target for Lobbyists and Contributors.
5) Lastly, Citizens and Corporations can ONLY donate to the Campaign of Individuals that Represent the District in which you LIVE and/or Work. Why should Liberal Unions in New York be Giving Millions of Dollars to a Democratic Senator for Alaska? ONLY one Reason and it's NOT Honorable.
These simple fixes would change our whole way of "Operating." It would inspire Leadership Rather than Control. It would save $100's of Billions of $$$ in pet projects and Destroyed Wealth during elections. And eliminate the "necessity" to bribe Congress with Lobbyists to get anything done. Gridlock would not be an issue, because they would not be thinking about their own personal future, rather, doing what is required to help the most Americans."

Labels:
skin care guru youtube
sweetstraw
I watch a lot, I mean A LOT. Of beauty gurus already, but I just wanted to know more out there or what you think is the best?
Answer
I love
Diamondsandheels14- she puts up a new video every single day and is VERY knowledgable about the products she uses. she gives honest opinions and does a multitude of videos like makeup, fashion, and skin care, as well as lifestyle.
Juicystar07- not my favorite but i do watch her videos. She mostly uses high end products which are far out of my budget though...also, she doesn't seem to be doing that many beauty videos as of late, but she has become very successful lately.
Macbarbie07- I just started watching her videos and she seems really sweet. she uses a multitude of products ranging from drugstore makeup to high end stuff. she really cares about her viewers which i like and gives honest opinions.
Cutepolish- the best nail guru on the web! she has the PRETTIEST nail art designs and makes them look soooo easy! she is truly talented
Meganheartsmakeup- she's a young guru but also seems really sweet. She has a long way to go but she is also just starting out. She also works in partnership with seventeen magazine.
Missglamorazzi- A very nice guru who is very honest on camera. She is comfortable in her own skin and is just an overall beautiful person.
Krazyrayray- She is a 14 year old girl and she looks really sweet. She uses mostly drugstore products but does have some high end. She obviously loves what she does and is doing GREAT for being so young.
For hair videos i follow-----
Cutegirlhairstyles- I LOVE THEM! its a mother who does her four daughters' hair in beautiful braids and twists! it's a whole family effort as the dad films, kids are the test dummies (if you will), and the mom is the braider. They are a lovely family and have adopted two kids.
Lilithedarkofthemoon- she is a stunning woman (from russia i believe...) and she also does beautiful braids that are more for older girls (teens and older)
hair4myprincess- a mother daughter duo! the mother does really intricate braids usually based from princesses or movies or shows but they are lovely styles that are perfect for young girls!
good luck!

Any tips on how to look pretty for most of the time, like YouTube beauty gurus?
Q. Have you seen YouTube beauty gurus in Twitpics and everything? Even if they're joking around, they look gorgeous. And I know that they wear makeup, and they do their hear and everything, and there's also the camera (but they usually have super good quality cameras so I don't think it hides much), but still!
Any tips?
Any tips?
Answer
Take good care of your skin, drink plenty of water, you know the drill. ;) You'll notice that a lot of the gurus work out, eat healthy, have dermatologists, and/or have some sort of unique diet (such as vegetarianism). Now, I'm not saying become a vegetarian or only eat organic foods, but take care of your body. It will pay you back. :)
Oh, and don't wear makeup often. If you must wear makeup, wear light makeup. The gurus put on full makeup for fun, they don't rely on it for everyday use (or so I assume). If they did, their skin would look far worse.
