Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

I thought this would be the most absurd movie, but I loved it. I laughed, I cried,,,,, I found myself wishing that I lived in such a caring community as Lars. Any other opinions about the movie? Loved it/hated it?

Answer
Thumbs up.

I agree with you. A very strange premise, and it does occasionally veer off the path, but it works often enough to make its point. Ryan Gosling is *great*. Ultimately, the fact that I'm still not certain if the town was supposed to be expressing "Christian charity" or simply "playing along" is a good thing. Anyway, very definitely worth an evening, particularly if you are one of those who complains about the lack of "positive, uplifting" stories. Even the hardest cynic will find something to smile at.

The tomatometer 80% is perhaps slightly high, but only slightly. It might be right on the nose too.

Here's a review that I agree with.

'Lars' is full of real heart
By JANE STEVENSON - Sun Media



It would be easy to dismiss the new indie comedy-drama, Lars And The Real Girl, as nothing more than quirky provocation.

The seemingly outrageous film is about a lonely, smalltown social misfit (London, Ont.'s own Ryan Gosling) whose new girlfriend turns out to be a silicone sex doll he bought off the Internet.

The movie's real conceit is that Lars' family -- his brother Gus (Paul Schneider), his pregnant sister-in-law Karin (Emily Mortimer), and the entire town (including shrink Patricia Clarkson) go along for the absurd ride and accept Lars' delusional galpal -- who he's named Bianca -- as one of their own.

In the wheelchair that Lars buys for her, Bianca is taken to parties and Sunday church, has her hair cut, and even runs for the school board and volunteers at the hospital.

In real life, the 27-year-old Lars, who lives in his brother's garage and is afraid to be touched, would likely be dismissed as the town loon.

But in director Craig Gillespie's second feature film, the clever, ultimately moving script -- penned by Six Feet Under's Nancy Oliver -- overall delicate, sweet tone, and uniformly fine performances lift the movie above what could have been a creepy premise.


Ultimately, it's about unconditional love and kindness.

It helps that there is no sexual component to the Lars-Bianca relationship, with the church-going Lars insisting that the equally religious Bianca, a half-Brazilian-half-Danish orphan raised by nuns to be a missionary -- yes, she has an incredible back story -- stay with his brother and sister-in-law in their spare bedroom.

It is Karin who actually sneaks a peek at Bianca's "anatomically correct" private parts one night and snickers at the fact with her girlfriends.

Still, sometimes you don't know whether to laugh or cry, given Lars is definitely suffering from mental illness.

As Karin and Gus clumsily attempt to wash Bianca in the tub one night, she says: "It's hilarious," to which Gus responds, "Is it?"

Gosling, an Oscar-nominee who knows how to play everything from misguided monster (The Believer) to love-lorn soldier (The Notebook) to well-intentioned junkie (Half-Nelson), is the perfect guy to inhabit the sweater-and-tie-wearing skin of the emotionally wounded Lars.

A blinking, shy sweetheart of a man-boy, his pain and heartbreak is palatable onscreen, whether he's insisting his sister-in-law cover up with a handknit blanket made by his late mother or awkwardly trying to bowl with a female co-worker Margo (Kelli Garner), who clearly has a crush on him.

Even his interaction with Bianca is thoroughly human. There's one vulnerable scene in particular where they are alone in the woods and he sings L O V E in a high-pitched voice from atop a tree house that has to been seen to be thoroughly appreciated.

Also eminently watchable are Schneider as Gus, who blames Lars' problems on himself for leaving his younger brother alone with his grief-stricken father, Mortimer as the warm and welcoming Karin, Clarkson as the understanding and patient psychologist and Canadian actress Nancy Wright as the kind and elderly Mrs. Gruner.

Various Northern Ontario towns in winter also substitute nicely for the stark American Midwest, and the film gets an added bit of edgy coolness from its soundtrack, which includes the Tom Tom Club and Talking Heads, and thrift-store costumes.

I can't get anywhere with my Doctor and I'm really frustrated, please help! (sorry its long)?

For about 3 years now I have been having increased health issues and I'm not getting anywhere with any doctor really, I have switched PCP's 2 times already. So this is the story:

I am a 27 year old female and I am always tired, cold, I have no appetite, and I am ALWAYS thirsty. I drink lots of water and have cut out soda and coffee (not easy when all you want to do is sleep) . My memory I'm pretty sure is shot, my husband is always telling me about how I've forgotten something or reminding me things. I even show up places at the wrong time because I forget what time I'm suppose to show up. I have to write everything down or I WILL forget it. I can't wear my contacts anymore because my eyes are too dry and its painful to wear them. When I was younger I always had heavy periods and they would last up to 2 months at a time, they finally made me get an IUD to try and prevent me from getting them.

Over the past 3 years I have basically gained myself in weight, and I started out thin at about 160 pounds and now I am just under 300, when I try to workout it doesn't take long until I get to that anaerobic point where my muscles feel that they have been pushed to their limit. My doctor thinks I am depressed and has put me on antidepressants for 3 years now, I am currently on 4 different kinds (yes all at once) and I still feel like crap, I have lost my life. I can't go hiking with my dogs, back pack camping with my husband is out of the question. I can no longer play softball. I'm sick of this and I just want my life back before I hit 30. I want kids too, but with how I only want to sleep I don't see how I could take care of kids.

My husband is always trying to get me to eat meals with him, but I am hardly ever hungry and my doctor just doesn't see this as a problem because I'm so heavy now. I'm also losing my eyebrows, my finger nails are constantly breaking and chipping, and my skin is so dry and painful. I have never had acne as bad as I do right now. I have it all over my body. I love my husband but I have no desire to be intimate with him anymore.

We are expecting cold weather here soon and I'm dreading it because its 60 degrees F here today and I'm freezing, I have my winter clothes on already. I used to ski and do cold weather stuff all the time and now I can't even imagine being outside when it is below 50 because I just shake. I have been checked for diabetes and I have no signs of that, or any other issues based off labs. My Uric acid was high and my thyroid levels have changed and gone up since last year, but it is still normal. I have no idea what to say to my doctor anymore to get them to listen, if you know anything it could be, or any words of advice, please let me know! Thanks!
I was just checked for diabetes last week and get checked regularly for both diabetes and thyroid due to family history. Diabetes labs have always been normal. My thyroid lab is the only one that keeps changing and the number keeps heading towards the Hypo side, which concerns me because my husband and I have discussed children, but obviously thyroid disease may prevent that and being exhausted all the time would make that very difficult.
Thank you July, I should have mentioned before (but I forgot to put it in there) I have seen an endocrinologist and I got nowhere with her either. Another thing is that my fingers are swelling so much so that I actually had a rather difficult and painful time getting my wedding band off and I can't get it back on. I honestly feel stuck and I don't know what to do...Thank you all!

Answer
"my thyroid levels have changed and gone up since last year, but it is still normal." Dont count on it!!!!

READ CAREFULLY:
You need testing for thyroid ANTIBODIES as well as TSH. TSH ânormâ should be .3 â 3 (w/ most feeling best at < 2) but, for diagnosis, would not matter if ANTIBODIES are present. Indicative of Hashimotoâs Autoimmune Thyroiditis (cycles between hyper & hypo at start)â¦main cause of HypOthyroid & is worse (...OR Graves Disease - HypERthyroid).

WARNING: Doctors seem not to want to find/treat thyroid disease. You may have to go to more than one doctor before you get the right tests, interpretation, and treatment. Best wishes.

YES, YOU MAY NEED TO GET ANOTHER DOCTOR!!!! Not at all uncommon when it comes to thyroid (altho it is epidemic now).

God bless

I am in my early 20s, okay skin condition, usually no acnes. I want to get some basic skin care products-- cleasners, face creams, hydration products, mask,etc. Please give me some recommendations on brand(s) that are good and with reasonable prices. Also, where should I purchase these products from? Walmart? A beauty shop in the mall? A Department store?

Answer
I am in my late 20's and up until now i used neutrogena face wash. I recently switched to clinique because my skin started drying out because i switched jobs and work in a rather harsh environment where it is always below 40 degrees. I always used neutrogena and then I would follow up with the neutrogena face cream for combination skin. It has an spf in it which is something else to look for. The neutrogena you can buy anywhere and it's relatively cheap. The clinique you can buy in the mall and they will help you pick a product line for your skin. It's definitely more expensive but well worth it.

I have been told that smoking causes bad skin. What can I do to relieve the acne and redness?

i do smoke pot, but my skin just started getting bad when I turned 40. Is there a skin care regimen you can recommend which will clear up my skin without quiting my pot habit?

Answer
you should see a dermatologist - acne at age 40 should be investigated

Do you have to go to school for it? It's something I've always wanted to do however, I'm absolutely HORRIBLE at the sciences/math. It's stressful. But I've always had skin issues growing up and would like to help others in advising what to use and stuff. I'd like my own skin care line.

If you don't need school, how do you start?

Answer
You would have to have some eduation, and experience to back up your progress. You can't just open up your own line and be like "hey, this stuff works for me! It might work for you too." , because certain people are allergic to different things. For instance, I have mild urticaria (exema) and its a skin condition in which the skin reacts to an allergic reaction to something. My skin swells up and it gets like hives on it. In order to specialize in any part of the skin industry, you would have to go to school and major in dermatology which is the she study of the physiology and pathway of the skin. I would say about 2 years would be the required amount of school to open up your own skin line. I use benadril or zyrtec to help my skin condition, and I've only had it for 6 months. I'm only seventeen, and I'm sitting here saying why does this have to happen to me? I don't deserve this, but let me tell you: it can happen to "anyone". I've lived for seventeen years without any skin problems and then boom it hits me. It's not really a big deal, my skin will just turn red and swollen and then it dissapears within minutes. But for your skin care line, I guarantee that you will need some education to open it up. Put yourself in the customers shoes, "would you want to apply something to your skin that you have no idea what it may do to your skin, and knowing that the seller has no education or not enough education about the product?"- No, I don't think you would want to apply that to your skin. I sure wouldn't apply something to my skin, or much less even purchase a skin care product from anyone that didn't go to school to obtain the information and knowledge about the skin care product. So go to school for it, and then you can open up a skin care line. You could possibly try to open one without any knowlegde but I think thats illegal and youre business wouldnt last. Now if you went to school and obtained a degree in dermatology or something of the skin nature, then I would bet a dollar to weak old donut you would make a killing :)


Hope all this helps. Try googling it next time. Do some research on skin and see what you can learn about it. You would be amazed because I sure was when I had to learn about it.


Good Luck:)

What is a reasonable amount of money to spend on skin care products?

Hi :) I'm a 14 year old girl (high school freshmen) and I care a lot about my skin. I want it to be healthy, radiant, and clear. How much money is a reasonable amount to spend on skin care products. How much is going overboard? Thanks :)

And going overboard will be spending $250+

What is your secret to staying youthful-looking? Any lotions or facial creams you use?

Answer
*Any cream simply applied to skin is not going to do very much if anything at all. And many so called anti aging creams and countless other skincare and maintenance products have toxic, skin harming, skin aging ingredients. Some cause itchy, blistery skins, rashes and even acne.(Confirm with a Google search).

To maintain skin health and keep it young looking there is no safer, quicker acting treatment than thoroughly massaging with essential oils. They feed skin many nurturing nutrients. See results even in one day.

If face muscles, like any muscles, are not exercised or conditioned they weaken with age, resulting in sagging, loss of skin tightness in turn leading to wrinkles and lines.
First tighten face so to avoid skin pulling by partially opening mouth and pulling lips firmly back against teeth. Then massage quite vigorously with a forward and back motion (not circular) using tips and front fingers and sometimes palms. Tightening of face and massage exercises /conditions face muscles whilst skin is being firmed, smoothed and conditioned by massage. In a few days skin will visibly tighten, will look and feel smoother, firmer and revitalized. It can rejuvenate entire face.

While maintaining tightness, focus massage on any wrinkles, lines and crows feet. It will quickly not just fade them a little, but greatly minimize them and largely prevent/inhibit others forming. See clearly noticeable results in just one week. See my many answers giving detailed info for specific wrinkle diminishing. Best find with an Answers Advanced Search. Enter "Mukunda M ANSWERS ONLY sagging, wrinkles, eye lines, crows feet, tighten, rejuvenate ". Then choose "Any of these words": "Best Answers" " Beauty and Style" "Skin And Body", "Other -Skin & body" and In Question Status select "All".

Oils are perfect moisturizers. You will need no other one.

Is there anything that makes you hair grow faster, and healthier?

I always ask all these people how their hair grows so fast, and they dye it and cut it all the time. They always reply to me saying; I have a special shampoo, or a remedy.
Is there any specific shampoos or anything?

Answer
There is no sure fire way to make your hair grow faster, there aren't any magic potions that will help you - just nature with a friendly boost.

2

MAINTAIN A HEALTHY DIET. This is the foundation to having healthy hair (and healthy anything else). This means eating balanced meals with plenty of protein and iron (two of the buildings blocks for hair growth). You will also want to exercise regularly to increase your body's blood flow.

3

TAKE A DAILY MULTI-VITAMIN. This will assist in keeping your body balanced and replenish any vitamins that you aren't receiving from eating. One of the first things to suffer from a poor diet is your hair. Take, for example, people with eating disorders - they tend to always have thinning, weak, and very unhealthy hair because the body is saving the nutrients for more important tasks.

4

DO NOT WASH YOUR HAIR EVERYDAY. For some odd reason, people have been fooled into believing that you need to wash your hair everyday, and that is unhygienic to do otherwise - simply not true.

The natural oils in your hair are a vital part of protecting it and keeping it strong and healthy. If you wash these oils away with harsh shampoos(which is most of them), you leave your hair vulnerable to pollution, heat damage, and any other daily stresses that can do damage.

5

INVEST IN "NO POO" SHAMPOOS. Normal shampoos can actually be very damaging to your hair, especially if you already have dry or damaged hair. Try a shampoo that doesn't have all the chemicals, try something from the DevaConcepts line.

Most shampoos contain Alcohol,isopropyl, which dries out hair, Propylene glycol and butylene glycol, which are petroleum plastics, and Sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate, which are detergents.

Deva products are 100% sulfate free and botanically infused with natural moisturizers.

6

TREAT YOUR HAIR LIKE A FRIEND. One of the biggest mistakes in hair care is treating your hair like its invincible.

Try not to use heat styles too often - excessive straightening and blow drying will damage your hair, no matter how amazing the flat iron is.

But all the while, do invest in a good flat iron, it can do LESS damage than a cheap one. I suggest the GHD or the Chi.

7

TREAT YOUR HAIR LIKE A FRIEND #2.

Avoid tying your hair in tight hair ties or corn rows - this can stress your hair and cause breakage. Try loose braids instead.

Especially for dry hair, try wrapping it in a silk cloth before going to bed, or invest in silk or satin pillow cases - your hair can snag on cotton and the cotton also dries out your hair.

8

START WITH THE ROOTS. You can't have healthy growth if you don't have healthy roots.

Massage your scalp to increase blood flow.

Avoid styling that involves pulling your hair at the roots.

Keep your scalp clean and moisturized (this means lay off of the excessive hair products).

9

REDUCE BREAKAGE. Often enough, your hair could be growing quickly but you'd never know if it keeps breaking off.

If you have split ends, make sure you get rid of them - trim your hair every few weeks. this also applies to damaged ends.

Always take time to detangle - use a wide toothed comb and start and the end of the hairs and slowly work your way up to your scalp.

Is eating grapefruit good for your skin and reduce chance of getting pimples?

Answer
The best thing you should do is stop eating oily foods, or eat traditional Chinese cooking, because long ago, China did not have a lot of oil, so the Chinese used it sparingly, such as stir fry instead of plain old frying.

:/ they never go!

Answer
RE: BIO OIL:
Waterproofing the skin may not be a real solution to skin dehydration, but surely effective in leaving the impression of a smoother skin, similar to Vaseline claims (another petroleum based product).
Armed with a better understanding of the ingredients used in the formulation of Bio oil, you may want to compare them to Tamanu oil. The effects and benefits of Tamanu oil has been scientifically studied and proven.
When it comes to skin care, the real value of a product is in the effectiveness of its ingredients, not its lower price; which often is achieved by using ingredients such as skin penetrating ingredients, fillers, binders and perfumes. The use of these ingredients may require heavy marketing strategies to compensate, which is what you really end-up paying for - Packaging & Advertising -
Are you looking for skin hydration and natural healing cosmetic, dare to be different. Dare to use products with high effective ingredients rather than surrender to the heavy marketing used by most cosmetic companies.

Adam Lambert has the worst acne scars. JLo, even Demi Moore have been seen with scars on their faces during interviews. Seal, the musician, Heidi Klum's ex have you seen the scar on his face? Demi in October 2012 issue of 'People magazine, showed her freckles (acne?) on the cover and inside article photo showed she had them removed but there was a 'hole' and no makeup could fill that in. How about Jennifer Hudson 'flea beaten scars' on her legs, as if she had itched them and got infected. I had some of those when I was a kid. Just as recently as October, I had a tiny spider (?) bite where my watch was, and after 2 weeks, it was dried and I thought it was healing, so I peeled it. Even though it was covered by my watch, there is a tiny freckle there now, but it had heeled, except it was darker. I should just let it fall off, when it was time instead of 'rushing it, exposing tender skin. This is now Dec and the freckle is not going away. By January and I could hardly see it. Even though I eat healthy, I am not one of those that heal fast. When I had bunion surgery, I was told it could take 3 months, it took me 3 years! LOL Anyway . . . with all their money they're making now, even beauty products can't do anything about their faces or should I say scars.
Avoid too much sun exposure, so it won't make your scars even DARKER permanently. Skin heals. So let your skin heals.

Sunscreens or lotions does not protect you from nasty, painful burns. Lotions does not protect you from skin cancer. Lotions does not protect you from skin diseases. Lotions does not protect you from discolorations - permanently. And lotions does not protect you from skin tags, freckles, moles, they will only get larger, darker, and bumpier as they are exposed from UV.

How to get my hair to grow faster?!?

Q. Oka so i wear extensions because my hair is short :( i want to know if there's anyway to help it grow faster?! i don't really want to wear extensions so if you have any way to help it grow please tell me!!!

Answer
Wearing something on your head, that stresses the hair more causing the hair to get thinNER, if you're trying to grow hair, that's not a good idea.

Google: Jennifer Aniston Admits Extensions wreaked havoc on her hair."

If you're healthy, your nails are growing, your hair should be growing RIGHT NOW.

Babies can do that, by drinking their milk. . . . so can you, so can any of us without any help. From your: good genes, good hair care and all the healthy foods from Mother Nature, that's where you get all your vitamins & minerals for growing from head to toes. Shampoos are meant for cleaning the hair, not for growing.

If you've straightened your hair in the past, it may grow slowly or none at all.
Google: "Foods for Healthy Hair" - Your hair may be the fastest-growing tissue in the body but, unlike the skin, it cannot repair itself. That is why getting the right balance of vitamins and proteins is imperative. Don't expect to look like you've stepped out of a hair commercial the day after you've changed your diet. It is likely to take at least three months before you actually see tangible results.

Growing healthy hair doesn't come from a bottle or pills and hair products do not speed hair growth. Any hair oil, is another form to keep hair moisturized, nothing more. If you're in HS, your hair & nails should be growing normally, and as healthily as possible, since you're eating healthy foods. But when hair isn't growing as fast, it's because they've been tampered with: chemicals, hair straightening, etc. . .

Cutting your split ends yourself, spend 5-10 mins. on a sunny day so you can easily spot them, using a 2" scissors, cut strand by strand, section by section, allowing new growth to take over. Then 2x a year, get a good hair cut. This won't speed things up, but it will make the hair look healthier while it's growing. Even healthy hair like mine get them, due to normal brushing & styling.

Remember: 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.

Man-made products & supplements can do more harm than good.
Beginning in February 2008, they experienced one symptom after another: diarrhea, joint pain, HAIR LOSS, lung problems, and fingernails and toenails that fell off. FDA has received numerous reports of harm associated with the use of these products, including stroke, liver injury, kidney failure, heart palpitations, and death. 3-15-11.

> > > Hair dye chemicals linked to cancer
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¨
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.

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.

Have a nice summer!

Answer
Dyeing your hair in the summer is the worst thing that could happen to your hair: Chlorine, the sun, all fades the dye faster and the sun causing your hair to get sunburned more.
Red, white & blue, it will go well for the Fourth!

Overlapping dye onto previously colored hair is what creates dullness and dryness. If you color your hair @ home or salon, let your roots grow out as long as you can stand, so the line of demarcation is easier to spot. Only run color through the lengths for five minutes to refresh the ends. To extend the time between touch-ups, use a gloss and deep -conditioning treatments. They will help smooth cuticles roughed up by daily wear & tear, and the hair will look shinier. ~ Harry Josh, hairstylist of the celebrities.

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.
> > > Hair dye chemicals linked to cancer
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.

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 is the best skin care product in the united states or remedies for facial and body acne. And what works the fastest? Also, what is the best treatment for the acne scars? Please help. Thank you.

Answer
try ponds products,its really good on skin.

I am having some extreamly dry skin issues all over face and body?

Is there a skin care remedy that you would recommend? Any specific lotion? Soap? Any advice would be helpful...

Answer
If it is severe skin dryness that you are experiencing, you should really see a dermatologist. Otherwise, it may be that your skin is reacting to a change in climate or a product that you are using or were using. If you can, avoid using soaps because they will be even more drying to your skin because they contain ingredients that are alkaline, versus acidic, and you want to keep your skins pH level acidic. Products with a high lipid content (fat) are best for skin that is very dry, but try to purchase one that is not comedogenic (won't clog your pores). A dermatologist would recommend products that would be perfect for your skin, or any spa or medispa in your area will sell products that would be hydrating and moisturizing. Cheaper doesn't mean better, or as good - so if you don't have to result to drugstores for your skin care products, don't.

Q. With the recent xenophobic attacks, the disgustingthings that Robert Mugabe has done to his peple in Zimbabwe (which isn't actually in SA) and all the things that have been hurting South Africa's reputation - the head of police committing acts of crime, the ANC president being in court several times on charges of rape and the health minister stealing! I just want to know what you people think of South Africa? Because so many of my friends dont want to live here anymore and some are even leaving, and I would just love to get the thoughts of others from around the world on what they think about South Africa. Be honest, and please dont critise me about this question, I'm just a kid interested in what other people think of my Country!

Answer
My daughter has lived in Jo-burg for the last three years and has a degree from Wits. Before I visited a few months ago I couldn't put her in context. I knew that the crime rate, AIDS infections, and number of rapes were astronomical, but it didn't have much meaning for me. Now, since I have visited and have seen the "security" with which people try to protect themselves, the beauty of the land, the warmth of the people, I fear for her at the same time I admire her determination to make a career for herself. Her boyfriend told us plainly that one of the reasons he doesn't want to marry her or have a family is that then if anything really bad happens she can freely leave.

When we were there a family was shot and killed at home at 6ish in the evening--broad daylight as it was March--in a suburb a number of miles north from where we were, a place considered "safe." Nothing was taken.

I pray for leadership and the combined pressure from the outside world to bring some sanity and stability to the political situation and economy. I will probably go back and visit this coming summer, but this forum has made me more cautious than I was on the earlier visit. Things are always changing.

I need to know what I need in my makeup bag for my face, lips, neck and eye skin. What are some products that I need the MOST? Please list them, thank you! (:

Answer
Well, are you talking skin care or makeup? Because your added details would suggest you are talking about makeup.


As for skin care, these are the essentials:
1) Gentle cleanser. If you have sensitive skin in any way, avoid lathering/foaming cleansers. If you can, look for milk or cream cleansers free of surfactants (lathering agents - it should tell you on the packaging if it's void of these ingredients).
2) Moisturizer. Regardless of skin type, you NEED to moisturize, day and night.
3) Sunscreen. If your AM moisturizer doesn't have SPF in it, get a separate sunscreen of 30 or so.
4) Exfoliant. This can be a scrub in a tube, or you can even use things like facial sponges or brushes to exfoliate the skin. Some people use washcloths as well. I've yet to find a method that doesn't bother my skin too much, as my skin is quite sensitive.
5) Makeup remover. You should NEVER use your cleanser as both a cleanser and makeup remover, because then you are washing your face with both the cleanser AND your makeup. You can use regular vegetable oils to remove your makeup; grape seed oil and watermelon seed oil are well known for being great for all skin types, especially acne prone. Watermelon seed oil is also supposed to really help dissolve sebum (oil) which may help with blackheads, and grape seed oil has astringent properties that are great for acne or oily skin. Both are very light weight as well.
6) Lip balm. One with SPF and one for use indoors/at night.

If you are meaning makeup, then I would list these are my "must haves":
1) Lip gloss. This is great on the run, because it will add colour and sheen to the lips without having to take extra time to apply it smoothly, like with lip stick.
2) Mascara, for obvious reasons.
3) Blush. If you have dull skin or don't often have a flushed appearance, blush works great to brighten up the skin.
4) Highlighter. This is great around the eyes (brow bone, tear duct, outer corner) to make your eyes look bigger and more awake. I usually just use a sheer, pearly off-white cream shadow as my highlight.
5) Concealer for any blemishes or dark circles that need covering.
6) Sheer or light powder or foundation to help even your skin tone out. I prefer the powder as it's easier and less hassle.
7) Brow powder. If you have very full brows, this isn't needed, but for anyone with thinner or sparser brows, this is very important to help give your brows some structure and give your face more definition.


If you were looking for specific products, I cannot help you. 1) we likely do not have the same or similar skin type 2) our skin chemistry is completely different 3) there are no products that work for everyone, as all products work differently for everyone.
I like to use review websites to find products, try them out and then return what doesn't work. This has helped me to pinpoint my skin irritants and helped me discover certain ingredients that break me out, as well as helped me to pinpoint my skin needs.
The websites I use:
http://www.makeupalley.com
http://www.totalbeauty.com (very seldom, as reviews are quite poor)
And then I will search for specific products in a search engine and check out other blogs or review websites to read more opinions on the product.

What is the must have skin care product everyone should have?

I want an affordable and worthy product that will benefit my skin

Answer
You must have a good facial cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. These are my three must haves.
I can't tell you what brands you should buy though. But most of my skin care products are from Omorovicza.
I have tried cetaphil and it's a good face cleanser. It's very affordable.

I dont have the worst acne breakout ever, but it's driving me insane!!
I want to get into a good skin routine. I've been searching the web for products, but I'm not sure which one is right for me. My skin is pretty sensitive so I think I need something that is natural? Please help, and thank you for your answers!

Answer
NOTEâ¦I HAVE WRITTEN THIS LONG ANSWER TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS RELATING TO BECAUSE THEY COME UP SO OFTEN:

OILY SKIN
ACNE
FACIAL LIGHTENING
DEALING WITH ACNE SCARRING
DEALING WITH STRETCH MARKS
IMPROVING SKIN TONE
PIMPLES
BLACKHEADS
EMERGENCY SPOT TREATMENT
INGROWING HAIRS
BODY ACNE

â¦THE INFOâS BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE. IâM 36 NOW SO IâVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES FOR QUITE A WHILE AND THOUGH MUCH OF THIS ANSWER MAY BE IRRELEVANT, I HOPE THERE'LL BE SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP YOU!

GOOD LUCK!!!

RECOMMENDED SKIN CAREâ¦I use clean and clear cream wash (good for sensitive skin or those that dry to easy) or Neutrogena clear skin make up remover wash. Both contain salicylic acid which prevents breakouts and gradually evens the skin tone out too. This is the most important thing you can do. Iâve tried various âoil freeâ/âsalicylic acidâ moisturisers but the best Iâve found is the clean and clear onâ¦I found the Neutrogena one actually seemed to aggravate my skin.

EMERGENCY SPOT TREATMENT!...The toothpaste things works! Put on a blob at night and put a bit of tissue over it so it doesn't make a mess. It cools the area down and reduces the inflammation. I also recommend the clean and clear advantage spot treatment gel.

HORMONAL SPOTSâ¦Any female with spots I'd recommend trying dianette or yasmine contraceptive pills because if it's hormonal that can sort everything out within weeksâ¦though it can take a couple of months to get used to the pill.

FACIAL ACNE: AVOIDâ¦Don't use harsh scrubs and peroxide products daily like some people do; that can dry your skin and make produce MORE oil...just exacerbating the problem. Many face packs Iâve tried and those blackhead removal strips too seem to have caused problems.

Iâve also had problems with those âfacial wipesâ made by clean and clear and Neutrogena because theyâre too drying and when the top layerâs too dry, the oil gets stuck underneath and causes more problems!

Some say chocolate doesnât affect itâ¦it does for me and I donât know how or why that should be but certain foods do seem to affect break out. Coffee is one of those things that seems to aggravate my skin too. So look out for anything you eat that might be making it worse.

HAIR PRODUCTSâ¦Be careful what products you use in your hair if it's long - certain conditioners have causes me to break out at times. Also be careful of hair gels, hair sprays and serums.

INGROWING HAIRSâ¦For men or womenâ¦if you have oily skin, these are more likely. For menâ¦use a facial scrub and avoid moisturisers that donât have salicylic acid in them if you use a moisturiser. Some hair conditioners are much better lubricants than shaving cream too â so you might want to try that, and then was afterwards with a clean and clear was etc. Also I recommend the microdermabrasion kit mentioned later.

For womenâ¦waxing seems to cause the main problem â we pay most attention to our faces. Waxing seems to be the main culprit as opposed to shaving or hair removal creamsâ¦to avoid in-growing hairs, make sure to exfoliate. I recommend using those exfoliating gloves â that way, you can use any kind of shower gel.

NUTRITIONâ¦I recommend taking a 100% multi vitamin/mineral complex â those little spots you get around your mouth can be due to a vitamin b deficiency for example. Also I recommend Omega 369 oils every day because they improve blood flow.

OLD WIVES TALE??...It's an 'old wives tale' type remedy - but a spoonful of cider vinegar and honey in hot water 3 times a day is meant to help EVERYTHING. It tastes nice too...kinda like honey and lemon X

HYDRATIONâ¦.Keep your hydration right by drinking plenty of water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol and too much salt!

DEALING WITH SCARRINGâ¦thereâs an excellent micro-dermabrasion scrub called âre-finishâ by L'oreal. You only use it a couple of times a week (and use at night because it makes your face red!). It really works not just with the colouring but also the texture - smoothes it back out. It comes with it's own moisturiser which I don't use but I use the scrub at night a couple of times a week and put bio oil on which it supposed to help clear scarring and even skin tone.

If you get your skin relatively under control, try using '21 days Fade Cream' (which I get from eBay) because it quickly clears up any scarring. Itâs a skin lightening cream and is very effective as long as your skin type agrees with it. Bio oil is a good alternative!

Also, to detract from the colour variations in your skin tone, I recommend using Benefitâs Posie Tint or Benetint lipstain â this can be put on your cheeks and lips (which also makes your teeth look whiter as an added bonus). Lipstain is better than lipstick because it doesnât smudge and it stays on; you can put lip balm or lip gloss on over it. Also, if you use it (SPARINGLY) on your cheeks, it is just like putting water on there; it doesnât aggravate the skin or cause breakouts.

How can I get straight hair, without damaging my hair?

I have thick and extremely curly hair. I would love to have straight hair, just because it's easier to take care of, and so when I wear it down there's not so much body that it looks like a touched an electrical wire. I have had people recommend Brazilian Blowouts (but of heard some not so friendly reviews about them), Natural Perms (Heard it could permanently damage my hair), and I would rather not straighten it every morning. Help? Any tips or personal experience out there? I don't want to do something that I'll regret later!

Answer
I DO NOT recommend Brazilian Blowout.
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.

> > > > BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT HAD BEEN BANNED by the Food & Drug Adm. Sept. 12, 2011.

Google: keratin treatment warnings. About 2,620,000 results (0.36 seconds) 6-24-12.
 1-23-12. and Google: Lawsuits Brazilian Blowouts. About 1,010,000 results (0.24 seconds) 
In Sept. the federal government put out a hazard alert about the hair-smoothing treatment, Brazilian Blowout etc. warning that it contains liquid formaldehyde that can turn into formaldehyde gas when heated during a treatment. Now, the company's bottles of solution carry a warning label to alert stylists to the potential formaldehyde risk and the need to perform the treatment in a well-ventilated area. The manufacturer said Monday (3-6-12) that it had agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit for about $4.5 million.

The FDA has previously received complaints that the products cause adverse reactions, including nervous system problems such as headaches, respiratory tract problems, nausea, chest pain, vomiting and rashes.
12-12-12

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.

"As a teenager my hair was pretty frizzy and more damaged," says Natalie Coughlin, a 11-time Olympic medalist for USA Swimming (3 Gold, 4 Silver, and 4 Bronze), who's one-quarter Filipino. She credits a healthful diet, good hair-care products and working with instead of against her hair type for her healthy mane. "It's important that hairstylists shape my layers so that when I do wear it wavy and play up my natural curls it looks good," Coughlin says, adding that leave-in conditioner makes her frizz more manageable.
"But as I've gotten older I've learned to really embrace my hair's natural waves and natural texture rather than constantly straightening it," she says. Use gel like Samy when your hair is damp, scrunch your hair and let air dry, or blow dry using a diffuser concentrating @ the roots. Finger comb, tousle or shake your hair and you're good to go. In the morning, instead of washing them again, spray with water & conditioner, scrunch with your fingers and you're done.

Answer
The best name for the company is:

Giovanna Caprini

you have a great name !

I am selling products for everyday needs like home, health and beauty. Any ideas will help.

Answer
I found my business name out of what I specialize in - I make lots of pies, so my custom baking business is called Queen of Tartz. It took a long time to get the name right, but it is perfect.

Focus on the services you want to provide. Is your service going to be online? very personal? all organics? Really define your focus. Also, consider where you live. If you live in the country or a small town, you may not be able to carry an edgy name.

Also, you need an artistic logo that you put on EVERYTHING - from business cards to your bags. You might find someone who will barter with you. I am a tattooed girl, so I am looking for a logo that is more pin-up in look than anything else. If you have a passion for the 1940's or for the color green or anything, use that as a jumping off point, too.

I know this may not be much help, but give the process time -

Is there a good herbal supplement combo that will help with depression/focus/memory?

I suffer from depression, lack of concentration/focus/memory. I basically want a better brain/mind/emotional health (also tired a LOT). When I get down, I get really down, like very hopeless. I hate that feeling. Also I am about to start some college courses and noticed I just can't concentrate or retain any of the information. I have to make this work. Is there one good combo or do I need to get a whole bunch seperately? I've tried St johns wort, I've noticed I get a little calmer and sleepy but nothing major. Any recommendations? I am looking for Natural remedies please, I've been on RX and the side effects were horrible. Thanks

hi! im cheryl from singapore, i've a youtube channel and i only have ONE video about whales on it which is completely stupid. but i wanna become a youtube beauty guru but i'm afraid people will laugh at me, i know people always say u shouldn't be afraid about what people say, but when i was in secondary 3 in high school, which i was about 15 and now im 17. i posted a really stupid video about "how to study" and everyone saw it and they totally made fun of me and mocked at me, so from there on i was afraid to do videos. but now im not in that school anymore and i've created a new youtube channel to subscribe to beauty gurus and watch videos,my passion is makeup and i don't own a TON of makeup like juicystar07 , beautybaby44 and all, but i own a decent amount of makeup more than enough for myself to use. and i really wanna be successful on youtube because i've a passion for beauty, skincare, and health and wellness and all that. first, can anyone provide me with the link to the youtube partnership? and i film with an iphone 4S, yes an iphone, because my dslr is a nikon d3000 and theres no video function, but im hoping to earn some money from youtube in the future and get myself a dslr with video function. idk, i need help and i only have 4 subscribers :(

http://youtube.com/flylikeacg is my channel! please check it out!

Answer
Hi there! I think it's really awesome that you want to start making videos. In a genre that is so populated with people, you need to stand out. I have a couple pointers that I hope help you in your process and aid in your success.

1. Personally, I think your name isn't super memorable. That's the first step. Please don't take that remark harshly, I really mean it with the best of intentions. But a clean, memorable name that will accurately describe your channel while also getting stuck in people's heads is needed.

2. Quality content is key. Surprisingly, an iPhone 4s is a decent starter cam now, with a few pointers.
-Buy Filmic Pro off of the App marketplace. It gives you more control of your camera settings such as lighting adjustments and such.
-Get an add on mic. There are many ranging from $10-$100 online. You do not need anything elaborate, so the $20-$30 range is a good place to start. Good audio is the key.

Record in a well lit area with bulbs that are good for illuminating skin. These are mostly called "daylight" bulbs, and they can be found online and at any department store usually.

Have a backdrop. Either a solid white or solid black background is optimal. It is simple, clean, sleek, and professional looking. You do not want distractions like background movement or an untidy room taking away from the star (You).

Edit your videos. Fast forward through the slow parts, or cut them out. People want to know the makeup you use, how you do it, and in what order. They do not want 10 seconds of advice and a minute of you applying it. Fast forward or cut the fluff out. It makes you to the point. Also, add some background music. You can find a lot of background music at places like incompetech.com. You have to dig really deep for something good, but you can find it. Also search YouTube for it, I guarantee you will find people willing to share their stuff.

Edit the videos on your computer, not on phone. You can use programs like Windows Movie/Media Maker or iMovie to start. But as you go on, you'll want to do more editing to look more professional. I recommend Sony Vegas Platinum 11. But in any way, edit on the computer. This allows you to take advantage of the 1080p quality the 4s offers, and more editing options. Make sure your videos are in at least 720p when you upload them.

TIP: It looks a lot better on makeup videos when the person does the makeup without talking, then narrates over top the video. It looks more professional, and is less distracting. Plus you do not have to stop applying your makeup every 5 seconds to say something. If you can figure this out, you'd be set. The best way I can think of is to record all the clips on your phone, without talking. Then edit you putting your makeup on in your editor. Then record the audio in your voice notes app, and adding them to the video later. You can and should talk at the beginning and end of your video, just not during the application. Use voice overs then.

3. Be on schedule. Set a time and say when you'll have new videos out. Once a week, twice a week if you can manage it. But if you say your video will be out saturday at 5pm, make sure it is. People will know to look at this time. Get in the habit of doing this early on.
-I recommend pre making videos in advance to release if you cannot make a video that week. It ensures consistency.

4. Be unique, diverse, innovate, and original. Look at what other people are doing, or more importantly, what they are not doing. If you feel you have something unique to offer, capitalize on that. Maybe mix in some clothing videos, shopping videos, anything that is different than doing just your usual stuff. People admire variety. Maybe when you're shopping and you think of a make up or skin care "quick tip", record it there in the store, or soon after. It can be short and sweet, and you can put them up randomly. This can apply to anything, just do whatever you can to stand out.

5. Use social media. Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, anything really. Post and share on there.

TIP: I recommend starting a Tumblr and using it heavily. Make it have the same name as your YouTube, and promote it on your videos. People will go to it if they have one. Update content on it. Including videos, pictures, other tutorials and things that is relevant to your genre. It gives you another source of content, a place to share your videos, and interact with your audience.

6. Be patient. Audiences take awhile to build, but hard work and dedication pays off!

Best of luck to you! I know I'm a guy, and don't know about make up, but I understand this stuff pretty well.

If you need anything, feel free to contact me on YouTube!

No sleep will it affect me later?

I work at a casino from 7pm til 3am full time sunday-thursday.. I recently started beauty school full time 8:30am til 5pm full time tuesday-saturday and im lOsing sleep tremediously.. I figure i can stick it out til march 2014 thats when i graduate.. But its soo hard :/ am i hurting my body and health by doing this.. I really need this job to support myself n if i dont go to school now i dont think i ever will.. Im 24 by the way

Answer
This is very unhealthy, you should stick to one temporary, good paying job with reasonable hours. If you continue doing these jobs that you do now and don't take the time to rest up and rebuild your energy, it will hurt you later on. It can make you permanantly tired and you will not be as successful. If this were my situation, I would definately find a different job until you find a career that will last you and one that has reasonable hours. Perhaps, if you were to change to a waiter at a resturant ( such as ken's or applebees) you will make enough, trust me that is what my friend does, she loves it and makes a good profit. Just a suggestion, good luck! :)

other than department stores, what websites are good and reliable on sending me free samples. i dont want to take the quizzes and all that stuff, just want to try out new things before i go splurging.

Answer
Hmmm try here sometimes they have some good stuff http://wowzila.com/freebies/health-beauty/

I'm 21 years old, my breasts have been sore on and off the past 4-5 days. Plz help?

I also feel like there's something going on the bottom of my tummy like butterflies n I feel weak by afternoon and tired. My period is due in 2-3 days but I have never experienced sore boobs and the feeling I have in my tummy now any other period. My partner and I don't use protection although we wernt planning on pregnancy, we did sleep together a lot during my fertile window. Is it normal to feel this way in early pregnancy? (That's if I am) I'm also today got a few cramps in my lower belly and I never get this with my period either. Is it to early to test? I really want answers confused!!

After two decades, Sean Reid of Surrey, British Columbia, discovered that he had a son. Fred Turley of Des Plaines, Ill., learned he didnât have a daughter. And Wendy Lieb of Lewis Center, Ohio, made certain she wasnât going to be a grandmother quite yet.

In all three situations, crucial genetic information altered the lives of the people involved. And in each case, it came not from a doctor or other medical source, but from a $29.99 kit on a drugstore shelf.

Reid, Turley and Lieb are among more than 800 customers who responded to the first wave of marketing for do-it-yourself DNA paternity tests sold as Identigene by Sorenson Genomics of Salt Lake City.

Story continues below â
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sales in three western states â Washington, Oregon and California â were so brisk last fall that Rite Aid Corp. expanded the product this week to some 4,300 stores in 30 states across the country.

âThe running joke is that weâre the Maury Povich family,â said Reid, 37, who confirmed years of speculation about a former girlfriendâs son with a kit purchased at a Bellingham, Wash., store. âBut why not do it privately? We did this as discreetly, as efficiently and as cost-effectively as possible.â

For users like Reid, the tests provide easier answers to one of lifeâs crucial questions â Whoâs your daddy? â said Douglas Fogg, chief operating officer of Identigene.

âEveryone is purchasing the tests because theyâre curious,â said Fogg, who expects to sell at least 52,000 tests this year. âTheyâre looking to establish questions about their own child or their own paternity.â

But for genetics experts, drugstore marketing of DNA testing raises questions of accuracy and ethics.

âFrom our perspective, direct-to-consumer genetic tests raise all the same issues for lax government oversight, potentially misleading or false advertising and the potential for making profound medical decisions on the basis of poorly interpreted or understood results,â said Rick Borchelt, a spokesman for the Genetics and Public Policy Center at Johns Hopkins University.

At the very least, the kits have the potential to complicate the lives of the people who use them, legal experts cautioned.

âWe all need to take a step back and realize that this is different than many tests that you take,â said R. Alta Charo, a professor of law and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. âThis is a life-changing moment.â

DNA tests join other diagnostic tools
The paternity kits have taken their place on store shelves next to other diagnostic tests that donât rely on DNA, including those for pregnancy, HIV and blood sugar, said Michael S. Watson, executive director of the American College of Medical Genetics.

Unlike genetic tests for health conditions, tests that use DNA to determine paternity are fairly simple to provide and fairly easy to interpret, said Watson. They're subject to limited oversight, however, with no review required by the Food and Drug Administration and no certification required under the federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, or CLIA.

The Identigene kit includes swabs for collecting cell samples from the inside of the cheeks of the child and the alleged father. Collection of the motherâs cells is optional, but strongly recommended to strengthen the results. The swabs are packaged and mailed to the Sorenson laboratory in Salt Lake City where theyâre analyzed.


Cast your vote
Are at-home DNA paternity tests a good idea?


The Sorenson lab is accredited by the AABB, the agency formerly known as the American Association of Blood Banks.

Results are reported online, by phone or by mail in three to five business days. They come back as a probability figure that verifies paternity with 98 percent to 99 percent accuracy, Watson said.

Total cost is about $150, including the price of the kit and a $119 laboratory processing fee. For another $200, users can purchase validated tests that meet legal requirements for determining paternity, Fogg said.

Court use questionable
But Susan Crockin, a lawyer who specializes in reproductive technology, said consumers shouldnât count on the tests standing up in court.

âThe juryâs still very much out on these tests in terms of reliability and establishing a chain of custody,â said Crockin, a consultant for the Johns Hopkins public policy center.

Most of the users who have been buying the kits â which have gone on sale for as low as $17.99 â donât plan to use the results to resolve legal issues, Fogg acknowledged. Instead, most are looking to answer social questions. And that's where the complexity comes in.

Because the cell samples are taken in private, thereâs the potential for fraud and deception, noted Charo, the ethics expert.

âI can imagine rather peculiar circumstances in which somebody has a swab taken without their knowledge,â she said. âIt raises questions about informed consent.â

Even when people do consent, the results can be unsettling. Watson estimates that between 5 percent and 10 percent of genetic tests he's conducted show a child is not related to the presumed father.

âIt could break up families,â Watson said. âSome will be broken because that was the goal. Others will be broken up and that wasn't the goal.â

But people whoâve used the at-home tests swear by the ease, the accuracy â and the results.

After 20 years, a mystery solved
For Reid, the paternity test opened the door to a new extended family. Heâd always wondered whether the baby born to a former girlfriend was his, even though she insisted the child was fathered by another man. When the girlfriend contacted Reid on Facebook last summer, the pictures she sent of her oldest son raised the question anew.

âMy wife, said âOh my, thatâs you,ââ said Reid, a nurse.

Internet research pointed Reid to the Identigene test, which was cheaper and more convenient than other options. With cooperation from his former girlfriend and her son, they all took the tests, with results that altered everyoneâs lives.

âOur newest son has a family he never knew he had including grandparents, aunts, and three younger brothers who are all very excited to meet him,â Reid said.

For Fred Turley, 55, the DNA test confirmed what his companion had told him: the 4-year-old girl he helped care for was not his. The news was disappointing, but clear, he said.

âThe bottom line is, I donât have to live with the uncertainty about her being my daughter and wind up in a fight just to find out,â Turley said. âThis wonât change how I feel about the girl. It will just remove what had become a major concern.â

For Wendy Lieb, 41, the DNA test restored her 20-year-old sonâs future. Heâd already quit college, taken a job and assumed the responsibilities of pending parenthood after a girl he had sex with at a party claimed she was pregnant with his child.

âHe just didn't look like my son at all.â
Lieb said she was proud of her sonâs response, but perplexed after the baby, a boy, was born.

âHe just didnât look like my son at all,â Lieb said. âAnd we have fairly strong genes.â

A trip to the drugstore and 10 days later, the answer was clear: her son was not the father.

âI thought it would have required thousands of dollars and a trip to the doctor,â she said.

Lieb is relieved for her own child, of course, but also for everyone involved. As difficult as the situation has been, she said, it will be easier for them to adjust now, rather than years later. The test may raise ethical questions, she said, but it also provides the peace of mind that comes with answers.

âI think itâs a lot more ethical for you to find out the truth,â she said.
