Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

Q. Hi, there is not too much information out there about mens skin care tips that are not just product reviews. I am looking for a full system or method that will help me cure my acne or at least help my skin look alot better. Thanks.

Answer
Hi there. I agree that there are too many sites that just tell you which products to buy and don't give you quality men's skin care tips. I highly suggest the article in my source, it is all about inside out ways to get perfect skin for men. Men can have a more difficult time with skin care because of hormonal differences, but it's not rocket science. Check it out.

What is the best skin care product that you have found?

A friend and I are looking into a bunch of different products to review them on a website. It's got make up tips and skin care tips. The problem is we don't know many of today's products. We tried to Google them but that didn't really tell us what ones were used by the everyday person most.

So if you could let us know what you use, how long you've been using it, how you've liked it, and where we can find more information on the product that would be super helpful.

Thanks a ton!

Answer
As odd as this might sound coming from a man, I've learned to love Sculptisse.

What I use: Sculptisse by Leeds Scientific

How long I've been using it: I got it for my wife last year as more of a gag gift. She ended up swearing by it and told me I should try it. I was skeptical at first but after a couple months of her nagging I gave in. It's almost been a year for me and it's been nearly life changing.

How you've liked it: I guess I answered that in the last one. I love it. :)

Where you can find more information: You can visit their site or their company site (both of which I'll post in the sources section) and get all the information you need about Sculptisse.

I have large pores and I also want to fade freckles and make my skin more even in tone. So what are affordable over the counter treatments to do this effectively?

Answer
There were totally 15 moles / black spots on my face and body before, I tried this mole remover and most of my moles were gone right now. But please pay attention, donât over use in order to avoid getting scar. Hope it works for you too.

For more information, please see the following using methods, it is very useful for unwanted moles, beauty marks, black spots.

BRAND NEW DIY MOLE VANISH WART REMOVER
10 ML Skin Care non-Laser Removal

Usage:
(1) Clean the nevus and the area around it, use a toothpick (do not use a cotton stick to tip or wipe) to mix the liquid and sediment, and then tip a little amount of the mole remover and apply it onto the middle of the nevus. The area would turn to white colour after 1 minute. Use alcohol or water to clean the mole area after 10 minutes (If you tip the amount of mole remover properly, you don't have to clean). The mole would peel off (May help with finger) in 8 to 20 days. Repeat the process again until the mole peeling off if the colour of the nevus is dark. (it is suggested applying the liquid to nevus on hands or legs first to see the results and learn to control the usage before applying the liquid to other areas of the body, DON'T TRY on FACE for the first time!)

Because my mother never used any products like scrubs, foaming wash, skin toners, moisturizing creams and her skin is beautiful

my skin is so so, not very uniform and and I'm wondering if should really bother with those products since I'm at a turing point in my life = 24, my skin is still youthful but will get older and older in the years to come, so what is the best thing to do for my skin ?

Answer
Hi Lilafay!

Some people have beautiful skin naturally. It's genetics. For those people their skin looks great throughout their life without needing to use any cosmetics or skin care at all. Then there's the rest of us...

At 24 the best thing for you to do is use an oil-free sunscreen on your face to help guard against sun damage to your skin â the #1 cause of wrinkles.

Next, a simple skin care routine is always the best option. Gentle cleansers and scrubs followed by a hydrating moisturizer. You might also use a product that contains a very light amount of retinol. At your age the introduction of a retinol product may help combat any skin problems and ward off wrinkles.

A consult with a good dermatologist with a skin care clinic is always a good option especially if you want to try the retinol.

Consider having a mini-peel/dermabrasion done either monthly or on a quarterly basis. It really keeps your skin looking healthy.

Hope this helps,

How to take care of a tattoo, busy schedule?

I love tattoos, I'm a scratcher in training from my friends mom (her ex taught her how to do tattoos) she recommends I wear shorts to take care of it fully but I work after school at McDonald's and we have to wear uniforms, I go to school at 7am, get out at 3, then get to work until 10 pm right after school. Could I cover it with anything to keep it saturated? I have a thigh piece but the color didn't stay on too well. I might go over it again soon. Any help? My tattoo on my wrist stayed on good since I don't wear long sleeved shirts.

Answer
You can cover it with saran wrap, which is what a lot of shops/artists do after you get a big color piece. Do not wear shorts! Especially if it's sunny where you live, the sun/heat will make the color fade and it won't heal the way you want it to. It's best to keep it covered, clean, and moisturized. When you get out of the shower, lotion up; make sure your skin/the area isn't dry.

I'm seeking a manager to send information to about being a local vendor for their store. The product I have works and is patented in the health/beauty area. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get in and is having a hard time finding someone to give me a chance. Please answer if you know a person or you could help. Thank-you in advance.
Thanks for your responses, to BCNU It was just issued a patent and it has not yet been published. It maybe published in the next month or two. I haven't sent the product to anyone yet, just called a few numbers for the buyer's info and they just said they aren't looking for new products as of now.
To me thanks for your response I will try that and hopefully someone at least looks at it and gives me a chance to pitch it. It is made in the USA and internet sales are great. In this business it's all about who you know, and who will give you the opportunity.

Answer
No one at the store can choose you as a local vendor. You must contact Walgreens corporate and talk to a bid contractor. From there they'll help you get your products into the store if they so choose to carry them. Call 1-800-Walgreens.

I want to get my hair, body, skin, smile, etc, in shape by February?

Basically, I want to try to get clear, healthy skin, healthy and hopefully glossy hair, un-chapped lips, try to look fairly fit, but by the middle of February. I know it's not a ton of time, but does anyone have any tips at all for things I can try? Anything from dietary changes and supplements (nothing drastic or potentially harmful, please) home health and beauty remedies, store bought things of the same nature, exercise ideas, so on and so forth. Please, all suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Answer
To get in shape, you will have to work out. If you never work out, start slow - walk outside or on the treadmill for as long as you can stand it. Also lift weights (don't just do cardio.) If you are relatively thin and just want to get leaner, try yoga or pilates.

Supplements will NOT take the place of getting a good nights' sleep and eating well/avoiding junk food. Your best bet is simply to take a multi-vitamin.

For good skin, moisturizing is key. Moisturize your body at least 3 minutes after you get out of the bath/shower, and use a cream (which usually comes in a pot) versus a lotion (which usually comes in a bottle with a pump). Hot water strips your skin of natural oils, and it's essential to replace those oils immediately. Also moisturize your face when you go to bed with a light moisturizer made for your face. I usually use Oil of Olay.

For your hair - if it's dry, use a hair mask/deep conditioner, or something like VO-5 hot oil, once a week or once every couple weeks. Also be sure to sometimes use a clarifying shampoo and conditioner, because they remove build-up. I have normal-to-dry hair, and I have 2 sets of shampoos and conditioners: one that is moisturizing (since it's winter) and one that is 'clarifying'--basically one that looks like a gel instead of creamier (I use Pantene Pro-V Ice.) Usually I use the clarifying shampoo if my hair looks like it's getting dull (which is usually from shampoo/conditioner buildup.) Invest in decent hair products.

If you straighten or blow dry your hair, use a heat protection spray. Heat can totally damage your hair.

Get regular haircuts to keep your hair healthy and avoid split ends.

If you want to whiten your teeth (most girls want to--and should), start using Crest Whitestrips.

To get smoother lips, you should actually exfoliate them. Just use a damp washcloth--or, better yet, get a soft toothbrush and dip it in Vaseline, and gently 'massage' your lips (as needed.) That will get rid of flaky, dry, dead skin. Try to use lip products that aren't drying and don't contain things like Menthol (a drying ingredient.) Stick to products like Vaseline or Bag Balm (my FAVORITE thing in the world - seriously amazing - you can get it at places like CVS) and put it on constantly.

Get a humidifier for your room and make sure to use it when you sleep. Winter weather=dry air, and dry air=chapped lips and dry/dull skin.

what are some starter reptiles for kids?

i have a seven year old cousin that is browsing the market for a "starter reptile" does anyone know some cheap reptiles that kids can take care of? if you have any suggestions email me @ lillian.radford@yahoo.com or answer to this question..

Answer
The easiest way to cut costs for reptiles is by finding an animal which doesn't need live food (some geckos, turtles, newts, aquatic frogs), finding an animal which doesn't require heating and/or UVB lighting (some geckos, nocturnal lizards and frogs, newts and salamanders), or an animal which doesn't require any of those.

Crested Geckos: These guys are nocturnal and thrive at room temperatures of 65-80. They don't require live insects for feeding and will eat a powder mix called Crested Gecko Diet which can be found at many pet stores, reptile stores, and Amazon.com. Each gecko is different from another, even those from the same mother. For this reason, they are fairly expensive if purchased from someone who can properly assess their value (basically any store which is not a generic pet store). Babies are a lot cheaper since their colors haven't come in, but it's hard to find a good adult with more unusual coloration for under $100. However not everyone cares about the colors, so this place is a good place to buy if you don't: http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/animals/other-geckos/. It is important for this particular species to note that their tails DO NOT regrow if dropped. For this reason, it is best to keep them in one gecko per tank to minimize stress.

Gargoyle Geckos: Virtually the same care as Crested Geckos although they prefer live insects and will regrow their tails. They also have fewer color variations, really sticking more with dark blacks, grays, and browns than the orange, green, red, and yellow you can find with Crested Geckos. As a result, they're generally a little cheaper. They are however very hard to find at non-generic pet stores.

Leopard Geckos: Nocturnal, but they do require live insects and a higher temperature gradient (75-100). These are probably the easiest to handle as they don't move very fast. As a note, although they are called geckos, they cannot climb walls. For this reason, any tank for them should be long rather than tall (as is with Crested and Gargoyle), something which usually saves some money. They are also one of the few gecko species which will eat many types of worms such as mealworms and waxworms, but they also will not eat any fruit-based products. They also have lots of color morphs and variations, but it's a lot easier to find a "normal" one for under $50. These are the most common gecko at generic stores although it's easy to find them at good prices at reptile stores or reptile expos.

Bearded Dragons: Diurnal, they require UVB light and also need a high temperature gradient (80-110). They are pretty easily handled when they have been acclimated to the owner. Young ones are easy to find, but also incredibly heavy eaters, the recommended feeding amount being anywhere from 20-100 crickets per day just to stay on track with the standard growth curve. Adults should be fed a primarily vegetable diet which makes it easier, but many have to have been raised on vegetables as juveniles to acquire a taste and this is not always the case. They also require much larger tanks than any of the geckos, at least 50 gallons to be safe. A long tank is also preferable.

Salamander: This is pretty generic, but they tend to have the same care. Tiger and Fire are the most common, but they're nearly impossible to find at a generic and even hard to find at reptile stores or expos. These guys are very hardy (Fires can take temperatures down to 55) and also long-lived (they live for 50 years). Even though they are technically newts, they cannot swim, but do like a large water bowl to sit and soak in. They all require live foods, but not as much as a traditional lizard as they tend not to move very much, so they have low metabolisms and will get obese if you feed them too much. They do require much more moist habitats than other reptiles and amphibians because they breath through their skin. A salamander in the water bowl all day is a bad sign.

Newts: This is also pretty generic, but they're all similar as well. A fish tank setup works pretty well, but usually the water level can be lowered to half of the tank height or less. This usually depends on how high the water has to be on the filter for the filter to run. Newts are also very hardy (Spanish-Ribbed will take down to freezing) and are moderately long-lived (20-25 years). They do swim, so just providing a water bowl is not sufficient. They will eat the traditional newt pellets and sticks, although larger species may go for live fish and earthworms. The most common is the Fire-Bellied Newt or the Paddle-Tailed Newt, both of which are usually more common in generic pet stores than reptile stores because profit margins on both are very low.

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:)

Answer
6 things must be done EVERYDAY to reduce/prevent acne: 1)Wash, Tone, Moisturize Face 2 or 3 Times 2)Don't Let Dirty Things Touch Face 3)Eat Healthy Food, Limit Junk Food 4)Take Multi Vitamin Mineral 5)Drink About 64 oz Pure Water 6)Do 20 to 30 Min Aerobic Exercise. Doing 1 or a few of these will NOT keep skin clear as possible!

Must use 3 things on face: Wash, Toner, Moisturizer. Do this at least 2x a day, morning & night (possibly 3rd time, midday, if super oily/sweating). Products that work for one person may not work for another person, so always do small patch test on face for a couple of days to see how skin will react to product! Don't quickly jump from product to product! Give skin a break before trying new product to prevent irritation! Natural & gentle products are sometimes more effective than acne medicine!

NATURAL & GENTLE: Wash face with warm water & Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar by Johnson & Johnson. Tone face with Witch Hazel (Thayers or Dickinson's) or Homemade Toner. Witch Hazel reduces bacteria/swelling, minimizes size of skin pores, helps acne. Make toner by mixing 1 part Organic Apple Cider Vinegar With The Mother (Bragg Organic Apple Cider) with 5 parts pure water. Test small area! If burns/to drying, use more water! Use at least 1 part water! Less Water = Stronger, More Drying Formula. This vinegar kills bacteria, absorbs excess oil, dries out pimples, lightens scars, refines skin tone. Don't use other types of vinegar, will damage skin! Moisturize face with Lily Of The Desert Aloe Vera Gelly, its 99% organic, contains vitamin A, C, E! Aloe vera helps renew skin cells, heals blemishes/scars. Don't use other brands of aloe, has very little aloe & to much junk in it which can irritate skin!

ACNE MEDICINE: Try 1 of these active ingredients for a period of time to see if skin improves: Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, Sulfur, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid. Try acids by Perfect Peel Solutions, Cellbone Technology, Skin Laboratory, Alpha Hydrox/Neoteric Cosmetics. Acid heals acne, cyst, scars! If over the counter medicine doesn't work, see doctor to get stronger medicine.

FACE PRODUCTS & MAKEUP: Only use oil free products that won't clog pores! Using a Makeup Finish or Makeup Setting Spray (Skindinavia, Model In A Bottle, Sephora) will give you shine-free skin all day! Old makeup, makeup tools harbor bacteria, Use fresh makeup, wash/replace tools often! Wash makeup off face before going to bed!

FACE MASK can be done once a week. Make mask by mixing plain oatmeal with water. Oatmeal is soothing, absorbs excess oil, makes skin smoother. Wash face with warm water, apply mask. Leave on for 20 min or until it dries. Rinse off with warm water, Apply toner & moisturizer.

HANDS-HAIR-STUFF: Keep dirt & bacteria at bay to prevent more breakouts! Don't touch face with hands, Don't let phone nor dirty oily hair touch face, Don't lean face on objects, Clean glasses often, Wash pillowcase, sheets, blanket, washcloth, towel often. Always wash hands before applying face products!

KEEP MOVING: Aerobic Exercise, Face Massage, Dry Skin Brushing increases circulation & delivery of nutrients to skin cells, encourages good blood supply, helps remove toxins, controls acne breakouts! Do 20to30 min of exercise, everyday or every other day! For outstanding results, do all 3 activities, everyday! When exercising, drink water & immediately take a shower to remove sweat & dirt! For face massage, wash hands & face, apply toner, use aloe vera as massage gel. Do 10 min massage before going to bed. Don't wash face again, let aloe dry on face. Buy any book on face massage like the, Ten Minute Facelift by Jennie Harding. Dry Skin Brushing must be done correctly & carefully, read book, Dr. Berkowsky's Vital Chi Skin Brushing System by Bruce Berkowsky! Never brush delicate face! Take shower after brushing to wash off dead skin & dirt!

DIET & LIFESTYLE: Research has shown that there is a connection between certain kinds of food & acne! Read book The Clear Skin Diet by Alan C. Logan & Valori Treloar! This book has detailed info on what to eat and not to eat to help reduce/prevent acne! Always eat healthy food - fruit, vegetables, lean meat, fiber, beans, wholegrains, foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamin A & C. Limit intake of frozen meals, dairy, milk, fat, oil, butter, greasy/fried foods, sugar, candy, salt, dessert, caffeine, coffee, pop, alcohol. Always avoid cigarettes, tobacco, illegal drugs! Its hard to get all vitamins minerals skin needs, so take supplement everyday! Overdosing on vitamins minerals from food or supplements is dangerous! Drinking about 64 oz of pure water everyday improves skin quality, flushes out toxins, delivers nutrients to skin! You can also include 100% Fruit Juice as part of your daily total. Acne can be caused or aggravated by constipation, make sure bow movements are regular! Getting enough sleep helps skin repair itself!

What are some good face washes and moisturisers for teenagers?

My skin's normal although I do get the occasional spot and lots of blackheads.

Answer
None. But I've used Oil of Olay the orig. pink bottle for years, but I've not used moisturizer for 3 years.

Any kind of facial wash, you're leaving something toxic behind, it's not a matter of convenience, it's a billion dollar business that can do more harm than good to your acne. And sometimes we feel entirely virtuous about our skin-care regimen because it's full of SPF-- all year round!-- and cleansers and such. But the truth is, we may not realize that we're overdoing (or underdoing) something that can lead to the very thing we're trying to avoid: dryness, breakouts, accelerated aging, New York dermatologist Dr. Jeannette Graf. (I've been giving this same advice for decades, but she's proof enough!).
Take a shower everyday, use washcloth to exfoliate and bath & body wash. Hydrogen peroxide does wonders for acne. Visit their website for more tips & other uses. ONLY $1.

Acne medication could worsen what ever allergies you have, so instead of trying out one product after another, you're actually spreading it around.
The less products you use, the better for your skin. Use a bath & body wash like Suave, Irish Spring, Dove Body & Face wash in the shower, use a washcloth. Treat your face like the rest of your body, take a shower everyday or wash your face everyday.

The secret is keeping your face clean and oil-free. I also don't use liquid on my face for anything, and very little moisturizer, not even a dime size. Since my face is not dry. Good skin also comes from your good genes. Increase your fresh fruits & vegetables 3-5 servings per day. And programmed your mind to d
