Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

I have oily skin. I use Clinelle gel cleanser (no alcohol, non comedogenic, natural oils etc) and benzoyl peroxide cream and once a week i use a salicylic acid scrub cleanser. Every day I cleanse my face twice, once when I wake up and another when I get back from school which is around noon or sometimes later. My skin gets oily by 9pm so do I need to cleanse again before I sleep? Doesn't excessive cleansing damage the skin?

Answer
Lucky you my dear, you'll stay younger longer! Don't over clean your skin, just leave it at 9pm because you don't know how lucky you are but you will by the time you reach your 30's and 40's.

skin care help?

i get all these pump on my arms, like clogged pores in not really had, but annoying and makes me self conscience when i want to wear short sleeves its always read and gross looking

i'm tried faces washes and acne creams and honey[ that i would normally use no my face to cure my acne] nothing seems to be helping me. ideas?

Answer
People suffering from mild or moderate body acne, I heartily recommend the Clear Pores System. Hard to treat cases are better left to a dermatologistâs skills, although ClearPores is certainly up to the task.

The best way to treat acne is to cleanse the skin with a solution containing Salicylic Acid and SD Alcohol 40. The ClearPores body and face washes contain these two excellent ingredients, which are accompanied by the well-known Aloe Vera (to soothe the skin and help the healing process), Dandelion Root and Yellow Dock.

See its official site: http://www.clearpores.com/clicks/clickthrough.html?a=150901

Also...keep your body skin clean every day and be careful not to trigger acne or rashes by wearing very tight clothing or heavy backpacks. If you feel your clothing, backpack or purse is causing you skin problems, then start thinking about alternatives.

Answer
Hey! I hope I can be of help. So, this is my mum I'm referring to because I'm just a student like you.

Occupation: Beauty Therapist

1. Went to London College of Beauty (private) to study Beauty Therapy. Then went on to work in a beauty boutique/parlour but only had little jobs with very VERY little pay e.g. thread eyebrows. Pay was little and hours were LONG. Employees weren't treated very well either. So as I had built up my contacts in the salon I decided to start own free lance, mobile (go to clients houses) business as sole trader. The mobile bit was my USP. LONG LONG HOURS, hard work! Started off with about 5 clients, now ended up with about 250 after some sleepless nights (been doing job for about 15 years)

2. Interested in beauty. Was going to be a pharmacist but rethought it.

3. Same as me (her). Study in beauty college, get a job in a beauty salon and then if you want stay on in the salon or like me, start your own business

4. Taking care of budget of supplies (e.g. wax pots, wax spatulas, nail varnish). Beauty treatments - e.g. waxing, threading, massages, manacures, pedi, facial, lava shell massage

5. Different services as listed above. Don't sell any products. Customers/target market are usually rich women in need of treatments who are based in Central or north west London. Competitors: other mobile beauty therapists but not a lot of competitors as I have already established my client base and they are very loyal customers

6. Abilities - able to sacrifice any time of day for clients, less hours of sleep as sometimes can work late into night (about 1 oclock), able to drive, communication skills for talking to clients while giving them treatment, likability, have to present yourself well in the way you dress, able to do ALL the treatments correctly and more so that customers are more than satisfied

7. Beauty therapy course in private college, I also go to Olympia London Beauty shows to get more inside info into the newest products and services I can offer. Need to keep up with competitors and newer products if i want to retain my customers

8. Pride in my skill, the fact that clients consider it a neccesity and appreciate it, profit

9. Morale has to be high if i want to be successful. Cannot let myself be demotivated otherwise if i do, clients can see this and may be put off in using my services next time

10. Likability, great communicator, flexibility of times etc, happy

11. Yes as I get older I need more sleep and because sometimes I have to sacrifice my sleep this can take a toll on my health. Long hours sometimes, but able to get a lot of free time out of it too! Have to keep on a happy face. Always moving, travelling and mobile which is annoying when there is traffic

12. No dress code - just casual smart - black trousers, any top

13. Yearly raise only if sales annually better than last so profit increases (remembeer I am a sole trader so i keep all the profits to myself) - I do not employ anyone, it is just me

14. Me.

15. wake up at 7.30am, free time, gym at 9 -11am, client at 12-2pm, free time with family, 5pm+ clients, usually get back at about 11pm - Remember my work day varies as clients often want treatments at different times of the day!!!!

16. No apart from in a salon which is not a great experience

17. Yes, a lot!! Customer base expanded rapidly due to word of mouth etc - my clients often know one another

18. If you are fine with long hours and a lot of hard work this is the career for you!!!

19. Yeah, just message me on Y!A

How long should I wait after tanning to shower?

I went tanning earlier today around 5pm.(Indoor at LA tan) People say you shouldn't shower after tanning to let it "sink in". How long do I have to wait?

Answer
Call the tanning salon.

I'll let Lisa & Glenna tell you about tanning beds.
Google Lisa and see what she looks like 2010.
"Plastic Week: Lisa Gastineau On The Dangers Of Tanning Beds"

She had 2-3 melanoma moles removed, one by her nose. She had nose surgery just to get her nose straighter, so she can breath again. She got those moles from a tanning bed.
Google: Warning in Tanning beds: About 13,200,000 results (0.25 seconds) 

Tanning beds aged you by 10-15 years!
Google A Death by Suntan by age 26, Yahoo Shine 3-23-10. In April 2005, while working out at her college gym in Rhode Island, 22-year-old Glenna Kohl detected a hard, golf ball-size lump near her groin. . . . .In high school, Glenna did have an irregular mole removed from her leg. A pathology report identified it as benign, but the surgeon tested it again. The lab had made an error: The mole was an early stage melanoma.
Google: A New Jersey woman was arrested after police said she brought her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth, causing the girl to suffer burns. She is only 44 and looks like she is at least 90+ and now taking her 5 year old daughter to the tanning booth.

A new study conducted by the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Dermatology has found that tanning bed exposure can be dangerous when tanners self-diagnose skin problems and use the radiation to treat skin eruptions. The study specifically found that a tanning bed user that used the radiation to treat a mild skin rash caused by an ibuprofen allergy developed a much more severe reaction called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). When left untreated, TEN can be fatal.
Melanoma is the leading cause of death from skin disease. An estimated 76,259 new cases of skin cancer will be reported particularly among women in their 20's & 30's, and that's 6,020 more than 2011, people died from the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute. Two million people are diagnosed with skin cancer in the US each year, according to the EPA's Sun-Wise Program. That's more than breast, colon, lung and prostate cancer cases combine! Now however, a recently published study suggests that those people with ginger hair and fair complexions face a much higher risk of developing dead skin cancer even if they are completely protected. Nov 2nd, 2012.

Oregon has the fourth highest rate of death from skin cancer in the United States, according to Dr. Brian Druker at the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. KATU.com 2-12-13

Tanning comes & go, unless you do them everyday 24/7 for the rest of your life. But in the end the only thing you'll benefit is either moles, freckles, skin tags or discolorations from sunscreens, lotions, etc. and the more you do, the more they get larger, darker & bumpier. My nephew had a membership in a tanning bed salon for a year. After it expired, he stopped, now he's as white as before he began.

Tanning, is a result for 'damaged skin' and no products can reverse you from skin cancer or damaged skin, may prevent you from pre-mature aging, but that's part of the billion dollar beauty industry.

I've been protecting myself from the sun since age 9, but no matter, I got Discoid Lupus. Google that one. It was like someone punched my chin and it gave a purplish mark. It took 12 years for that to fade, so now I'm using a wide brim hat or umbrella for protection. Gene Simmons & Shannon both have been seen hold an umbrella during an event. They were invented before beauty products, for a reason. Google also Bullous Pemphegoid, photos, another skin disorder.

Take the Skin Picture Quiz - Identify These Common Skin Conditions on MedicineNet.

I don't have very nice skin on my face, It's not bad but it's a bit oily I don't have spots but I have a few pores and it just looks dead! I have a few freckles on one side and loads on the other. My eyes have little bags under them that look like little brushes! Any idea's on how to make it look better with keeping the make up to a minimum?!?

Answer
You can do skincare without doing makeup. :) A couple suggestions for you:

Make sure you wash your face every night with a clean wash cloth. Soaps can irritate your skin, so I'd skip them - water is plenty.

Garnier Skin Renew eye roller - This thing sounds like crap, but it puts a soothing cream on the bags when you roll it over, and the gentle pressure on the skin draws your body's attention to the area so it can fix the problem itself! Every blog I've seen it mentioned in gave it shining reviews.

Moisturizer - Whatever moisturizer you like should work fine. If you don't have a favorite, I suggest coconut oil. You can find extra virgin organic coconut oil on Amazon for $15.. My moisturizer that it replaced lasted maybe 5% of what this one is lasting me, and at a cheaper price for one portion. Anyway, keeping your skin moist can help a lot, if you aren't already.

Exfoliate - If you have problems with dead skin or just need a dewy glow, an exfoliator works great. Jaclyn Hill (Mac-trained professional makeup artist, has a youtube channel) strongly suggests buying sugar and just adding enough water to make a paste. I add in coconut oil instead, 'cause I obviously have a love affair with it anyway, and it takes away the moisturizing step when I take a shower. Any store-bought product will probably work fine too, but these are the best I've seen, and I've tried a LOT of exfoliators.

Now, there's one other thing for the oily skin. It's called the oil method. The theory is that your skin is producing so much natural oil because it feels dry all the time, and it thinks it needs more oil. It's counter-intuitive, but if you put oil (like my best friend coconut oil) on your face, your skin recognizes that it doesn't need more oil, and therefore doesn't produce more oil. I use coconut oil on my face just before I go to bed, then I make sure to wash my face before applying makeup. This way, at least 1/3 of every day is spent with moisturizing oil soaking in and telling my skin to not produce makeup when I'm trying to not look oily during the day!

That's what's worked for me, good luck :)

Is this a good skin care regimen?

Is this okay? I'm 15, and I wanted to try more natural skin care since it was less expensive (hehehehe ;P ) and if it is good, what benefits would I get from it?
â¢Wash face with Clinique Facial Soap for Oily Skin (Twice a week wash my face with green tea and water, let it sit for 10 minutes, and wash off with warm water)
â¢Use 100% lemon juice with a cotton ball as a toner, swipe all over face, avoiding eye area
â¢Use a small amount of extra virgin olive oil all over face, pat under eye area and some laugh lines I have beside my mouth.
â¢Let it soak in, then put sunscreen, let that soak in, then do my makeup.

Answer
I like it it almost sounds like my skin care routine but I wash my face with oatmeal every day and I only use lemon juice for 10 mins at night. But it sounds really good! I love natural stuff! And it is so much cheap

Here's the oatmeal cleanser if you want . It's really great and it cost me $3!

If you have the following :

Dry skin 
Oily skin
Acne
Acne scars
Flaking 
Peeling
Redness and irritation 
Clogged/enlarged pores
Sensitive skin
Sunburn

Oatmeal could help you! 
Oatmeal calms irritation , softens your skin and can prevent acne! I found that it also helps get rid of my scarring, including the old scars

YouTube : bubzbeauty- has a video called Beautiful skin remedy . She gives lots of information about oatmeal .
Abeautifulxmess- has a video called oatmeal cleanser 1 month review. I would check that out as well.

Use an oatmeal cleanser every morning and night.

Here's what you need and instructions!

Washcloth
Oats, quick oats work great !
Water, hot and cold


Grind up the oats until t looks like flour, this is not mandatory but when the oatmeal is in smaller pieces it cleans your pores better. 

1) rinse your face with warm water and pat it dry , use makeup remover if you need it.

2) take half a teaspoon of of the oats and mix is with one teaspoon of hot water. This should form a paste.

3) rub this paste on your skin until it starts to dry up.

4) take your washcloth and run it under hot water, squeeze out the excess and drape the washcloth over your skin  for 30 seconds . Repeat this step one more time.

5) after the final steaming use your washcloth to wipe of the oatmeal . Then rinse your face with cold water or run and ice cube over your skin to close your pores. Follow up with a moisturizer!

Make sure your not allergic to oatmeal ! 

Good luck !

I have my degree as a graphic designer but I have yet to find a job so I been thinking of going to school to learn how to cut hair and stuff. It looks fun and my friend just graduated Friday and just got a job today so I'm thinking of doing it I just don't know if it's something I'll actually enjoy once I'm there. Any advice?

Answer
Another concern is that beauty school is very expensive and do you currently have student loans?
Next: I say "GO - GO, but ONLY if you LOVE doing hair", makeup etc. .
Comment
I would suggest you finish school and scrub the beauty school idea for now. My fiance finished esthetics school about six months ago and has yet to make any serious money from the jobs she's landed. Beauty and esthetics positions usually start out paying very low. Sure, you can make good money after you've built a steady client list, but that takes years. Additionally, people are spending less on themselves right now because of the economic slump. You don't want to be in a declining market as a job hunter.

Comment
If you need the income to support yourself don't do it. If you need benefits there usually are none. As for competitive I can't say to much about it I have been in 3 salons in 18 years and I have been lucky to find great places. I will say if you are good then people will most likely be competing with you! As far as building a clientele that's the hard part. You need to get in a good salon that will help you. Do everything you can to learn whatever you can. I was lucky enough to get in with a lady that had me basically apprentice for her. I hated it a the time but I look back now and realize I wouldnt know half the stuff I do if it wasnt for her having me stand there and watch her all that time! Learn all you can in beauty school but realize that the learning really begins when you are all alone behind that chair. Just keep good people around you that are willing to help you out, you will need it when you run into that color that you have no idea what to do. I would say go work in an owner run salon that will guide you for a few years, then when you feel you have a good clientele go work for yourself either a salon in your home or lease a station.

Comment
I've considered going to cosmetology school for sometime. I have a four year college degree in Theater. I started out as a graphic design major in college and recently went back to take more classes in graphics. I hated it. I already sit at a computer all day at an underpaid photo editing job with no health insurance. I'm concerned though about paying $15,000 - $16,0000 to go back to school. I'm concerned I won't be able to support myself straight out of school because I have read some people say they make $10 an hour as a stylist. I could not live on that in Chicago. I am just a one person household with two cats.

Comment
I am like you in that I have a college degree and decided to go to cosmetology school to be a hairstylist. It is true you don't make very much fresh out of school, but there is potential to make a lot of money as a hairstylist, so the question you must ask yourself is how much uncertainty you are comfortable with when it comes to income. Every salon is different, but where I work you are on straight commission after a few months on the floor, which is definitely rough when you don't yet have an established clientele. I can't give you an exact figure but as an apprentice you probably will make about $20,000/yr (give or take a few thousand, and this includes tips), and your first year or so on the floor will be roughly the same, unless you happen to get your chair when someone who has a lot of client

There is also a significant difference in income for being a colorist versus a stylist (ie cutting hair). It is a sad but true fact that color services are more expensive than haircuts, and therefore colorists, on AVERAGE, make far more money than cutters. You can make extremely good money being a colorist at a high end salon once you have your clientele established. The biggest factors to success in this industry are how hard you work, the training you receive, people skills and confidence.

Training and income are closely related, and apprenticing at a high end salon with a reputation for excellent work will ultimately pays off because it will give you the skills and know how to not only do great work but to be compensated well for it. I won't lie, assisting isn't glamourous and can sometimes be a lot of labor but it is well worth it if you are learning from the best in the field.
As far as schools are concerned it doesnt really matter that much, the apprenticeship is really where you are going to learn to do hair, not in beauty school.

Comment
I have a friend who encouraged me to get into hair styling about 7 years ago. I thought he was crazy. I was building my own graphic design business. When the dotcom bust hit and we went into a bit of a recession, his earning remained solid and mine fell. I think his advice was solid and am seriously considering it now. His business is growing by leaps and bounds and he currently works 4 days a week and makes alot more money than I do.

my face seems to be more oily now... i don't wear make up, and i wash my face with neutrogena soap 3-4 times daily. any suggestions on products.

Answer
My whole life I've been oily and I've tried every possible thing out there. In the long run, there is nothing you can really do to "prevent" oily skin; you're just made that way.

I think it's important to know how your skin works. So first, if you're a girl, this piece of info might be helpful:
"Previous studies have shown that the oil duct opening on the skin was smallest in days 15 - 20 of a 28-day cycle, increased in days 21 - 26, and decreased again in the two days before menstruation. On average, premenstrual acne flares were found to be the worst on day 22 of the average 28-day cycle."

This info tells us that 1) do not count on your complexion to always be perfect, because it goes through changes in a monthly basis, and 2) you look better during certain times of the month--when the pores are smaller and secrete less oil.

Secondly, skin is a live thing, so it reacts to the environment. Friction causes pore enlargement, and this inevitably leads to more oil secretion. Wash your face gently, try not to rest your face on your palm or on dirty clothes, and do not rub. Best yet, try not to touch your face so often, as this stimulates glands.

Another thing to keep in mind: you are what you eat. This doesn't mean that eating greasy food will make your skin oily, like what some people believe; your body breaks down fat, so the fat does not go directly to your skin. What I mean is food that is healthy and easy to digest would engage better circulation and supply nutrients for cell production. You know what this means.

What I find extremely helpful is when I get to exercise and sweat off the oil and the toxin stored in your skin. This is one of the best internal cleansing there is: inside-out waste elimination. Your skin glows after heavy sweating. Going facial is a waste of time and money when you can do so much better yourself; just hit the treadmill.

Lastly, for external care, the common sense is that you avoid extra oil production by not overdrying it. I use Effaclar gel, and it works wells on my skin. (link http://www.laroche-posay.us/_us/_en/consumer/catalog/product.aspx?prdcode=149C&CatCode=F2_OILY_SKIN_C&TopCat=F1_SKIN_TYPES_C&TopCode= ) Don't be brutal when blotting.

Good luck. Be thankful for oily skin; oily skin ages slower, as there's always oil coating the skin from harsh environment.

three weeks ago my four year old had bruise-like patches on lower back. I pulled off a tick the same morning I noticed the red patchhes. These patches disappeared and now they are back looking as fresh as they did three weeks ago. They look like bruises that are fading. They are oval shaped and are dark red and clustered in an area that is about 2.5 inches in width and 3 inches in length. The size of each patch is about 5/8 of an inch or smaller in lenght, smaller in width. The patches have not grown or shrank since three weeks ago; they look the same.

Is there any good acne products to prevent zits to start or to be gone recommented for a 13 year old?

teen acne product

Answer
Believe it or not, Acne products contain many natural ingredients you can find in your kitchen cabinet or local grocery store, just in lower concentrations. These products sold on the market are created using these natural ingredients as well as harsh chemicals that can lead to more defined acne scarring.
Natural Apple cider vinegar is a wonderful acne treatment that is extremely cheap and risk free (unless allergic of course). Dip one to two cotton balls in pure apple cider vinegar and apply to acne prone areas; allow the vinegar to dry naturally if you do not mind the smell, or rinse off with warm water after a duration of ten minutes. Lemon juice has been spoken about as an acne-treatment however, may prove irritating to sensitive skin types. To prevent irritation from lemon juice application, use two teaspoons of lemon juice combined with two tablespoons of water (diluting). Apply the lemon juice as you would the apple cider vinegar, using two cotton balls, to acne prone areas. You may repeat both treatments three times a day for however long desired.
Raw brown potatoes contain anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce the overall appearance of acne and it's horrible scarring. You can slice a brown potato into five thin slices, and place on the face while lying on your back. Allow the potato slices to soak on the face for fifteen minutes, then remove, and rinse the face with warm water. Repeat this treatment twice daily until desired.
Products containing Benzoyl Peroxide are regarded as "powerful acne treatments" that can reduce the appearance of acne within one week of ritual application. Proactiv, Neutrogena, and Clean and Clear Skin contain an average 5-8 percent benzoyl peroxide within each individual bottle. While 5-8 percent may not seem like a great deal, however you will find that the potency and its' effectiveness speaks for itself.
Sheer cover is a mineral foundation that reduces redness and based on my own personal experience, eliminated my acne all together. Created by Guthy Renker, this mineral wear contains zero talc and fillers that are commonly found in NYC, Cover-Girl, Maybelline, etc. cosmetics that will cause breakouts if not removed before night. I found my redness and acne to clear within three days of applying this foundation, and I felt absolutely beautiful. Whatever issues you are having with your skin, this foundation will not only cover, but will treat. It's actually available through their website for 30.00 for a month kit containing lipgloss, two foundations, 2 concealer duos, professional brushes to apply your sheer cover, a make-up kit, mascara, and a pallet of different foundation colors. Try it out if you are able.
I hope I helped in some way. Take care! - Katy

I have fairly clear skin except for when I pick at my face. I have a real bad habit of picking blemishes even when they're not ready to pop. I need a skin care system that can get rid of blackheads and any type of blemish as well a prevent from any future ones from appearing. Right now I'm using Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Wash and it doesn't seem to be making any difference. I still have tons of black heads on my nose and my chin.:( Also I recently learned that Neutrogena tests on animals. Does anyone know of any drugstore skin clearing products that don't test on animals and can do what I need them to do? Thanks!:)

Answer
No animals here.

How to Get Rid of Acne: ..................Thanks to Mama Bear for the following.

Lemon Juice
Rub fresh lemon juice on your pimples with a gentle hand. The bleaching properties of lemon juice lighten the skin and thus reduce its appearance. Moreover, it removes the topmost layer of the skin surface where bacteria grows and controls the infection. Thus the healthy underlying skin is revealed. If you hesitate to use concentrated lemon juice on the pimple as you fear it may cause skin irritation, then you can dilute it with rose water.

Application of Ice
This is an easy way to get rid of pimples overnight. You have to pack up some crushed ice in an aluminum foil in order to prevent them from getting melted quickly. Then put it inside a plastic bag and wrap up the pack with a thin towel. Now apply it over the pimples for 10 to 15 minutes. This will shrink the pores forcing the oil and dirt out of it. When the two main culprits are out, you can expect the pimple to clear up in no time.

Toothpaste
You can get rid of pimples overnight using toothpaste. Many people find it highly beneficial for this purpose. Take some toothpaste on the tip of your finger and apply it on the pimple in such a way that the entire pimple is covered up with the toothpaste properly. Leave it on the pimple overnight. Next morning when you wash it off with warm water, you will be pleasantly surprised with the result. The trick is that the toothpaste absorb all the oil from the pimple and reduce its size so much that it becomes invisible. However, a toothpaste with gel content is not suitable for this treatment.

Baking Soda
Baking soda is considered as one of the best home remedies for getting rid of pimples overnight. Prepare a thick paste using one cup of baking soda, 3 tablespoons of salt and some water. Rub this paste gently over the affected areas of your face making small circular motions. Leave it on the acne for few minutes and then wash your face with cool water. The exfoliant property of the salt removes the dead skin cells from the pores. The baking soda soften up the skin and restore the normal pH balance of the skin. As a result, the pimple clears up fast.

Egg Mask
A simple egg mask can help you in getting rid of pimples from your face. Take one or two eggs as per your requirement. Break them and separate the white portion of the eggs from the yolk. It is the egg white that you need to apply as facial mask on your face. Keep it on the face overnight and then wash off with cold water.

Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is known for its healing and disinfecting properties. To apply it, start with washing the face thoroughly with an antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a towel and then taking a cotton ball apply apple cider vinegar evenly on the affected skin. Leave on for fifteen minutes before washing it off with cold water.

Steam and Clean
In the very initial stages of acne when it is still a small zit or just in the form of whitehead and blackhead you can try doing this. Clean your face with cleansing milk using cotton pads. Now scrub it with a gentle face scrub. Take steam on your face for about 8-10 minutes. Now take a sterilized blackhead remover and clean the blackheads and whiteheads. You can also try squeezing pimples if they are very small. Use a clean cotton pad to clean the pus or blood that flows out. Now finish by cleaning the area with an antiseptic lotion or a toner. This procedure will help keep your skin clean and avoid further acne breakouts. Following this everyday before going to bed is one of the easiest ways to get rid of acne fast at home.

Acne Prevention Tips

â¢Do not touch the skin areas which are affected by acne with your fingers, as it can spread the infection to other skin areas as well.
â¢Maintain hygiene i.e., use clean bed sheets, pillow cases and towels. Dirty towels can be the breeding ground of germs and bacteria, thereby causing severe cases of acne breakouts.
â¢Dandruff and oil in hair can cause acne too, so to prevent that, avoid doing such hair styles which make your hair touch or fall on your face.
â¢Exercise everyday as it helps in proper blood circulation, and adequate transfer of oxygen to all the body cells. Exercising will help in both reducing stress and preventing acne.
â¢Take shower after undertaking any kind of exercise or physical activity to prevent dirt and sweat from getting accumulated in the skin pores.
â¢Drink lots of fluids and water as it will help in elimination of wastes and toxins from the body, resulting in a blemish free, glowing skin.

Skin care product that works as well as Obagi but does not animal test.?

I have been using Obagi for a few years now. Don't know why it has taken this long; I'm usually more conscientious. I've now done more research and find that Obagi does animal testing. I'd like to find something else that I can feel better about using and still get decent results. Ads all promise results, but I'd like some personal recommendations.

Answer
Wow, I didn't know Obagi did animal testing, now I'm kind of bummed at the fact that poor defenseless animals are being tested on. I can imagine the horror they go through everyday.

I don't know of anything that works as good as Obagi because I have melasma. You should be posing this question to a Dermatologist because I will.

Anyway, in my early 30's I was using Cetaphil then tried this aloe based product from Forever Living (based in Arizona), they have a skin care program titled, Aloe Fleur de Jouvence (Aloe Flower of Youth), which I did notice improvement, I bought the kit (box).

Then again, I was swimming 3x a week so I believe the chlorine helped the product along. I resided in S. California until the last 4 years, I now live in the Pacific Northwest and due to the lack of consistent sunny days, I began to get lighter which I believe revealed the sun damaged to my skin. It was pretty bad and I looked horrible.

Until I can find something that is comparable to Obagi that does not animal test and cost a lot less I will do it.

Sorry I could not help in answering your questions but if you are interested in the Forever Living products here's the link.

Good Luck and I will star and watch your question for additional answers.

what does FDA 05052009 mean? would it be the expiration date of the product?

Answer
Yes it would be.

does make up or skin care product expires?

So I just want to know if (first) skin care stuff expires? because I bought a lot of skin care stuff and sometimes I dont use few of them, and they are still there after 2 years. (toners, moisturisers, suncream,etc)

And what about make ups? I collected it so i have tons of them, but some I dont use much. Can I still use them like for example after 5/6 years?

How long do you think skin care products and make up expires? thankyouu
i couldnt find any expiry dates...

Answer
Have you seen at the bottom of the pots or the rims of tubes? Or there might be on the paper boxes most items come in.

They might not even have expiration date written on them, because the law doesn't require for every item to have an expiration date written on them.

You cannot be sure when the product was made, how long it has been on the shelfâ¦
You know though when you first opened it. So you can look for icons like this: http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/d4/8a/d48a632e930bc9b5695a54086f4758c3.jpg This number indicates the number of months that the product lasts once it's opened.

You can find a bunch of information online like:

I have always been consumed with skin care. I burden my friends with skin care tips. My first initial thought was to become a dermatologist, however I don't want to spend a decade in schooling. Is there any other careers focused on skin care? Thank you.

Answer
You can also become a skin care specialist or an attendant in a skin care clinic. It's nothing close to what a dermatologist earns but it's within the same industry and function. You do the dirty job.

See job details:

Job Description for Skin Care Specialist

I know that light skinned and mixed black women are treasures to white culture and black men. Can a dark skinned black woman ever find a black man to care for her? Also can a dark skinned black woman make it in a white dominant society? I believe light skinned and mixed women have the easiest time, they dont't have to experience racism and black men worship them.

Answer
Can a dark skinned black woman ever find a black man to care for her? Yes.

Dark skinned black women don't have it as bad as they think. Yes, there are some guys who are like "OH SHE'S TOO DARK" but believe me, one man's 'trash' is another man's treasure. I know some guys who love darker skinned women with "smooth, dark chocolate skin that shines..." etc etc.

"black men worship them" And my bro worships no human, only God.

Believe me, the light skinned black ladies I know have a hard time too. Some are overly sexualized and are supposedly "stuck up" and "cocky". And they further get classified to "red' or "yellow" bone and they have some rivalry going on in there. It's stupid.

Really, the grass always seems to be greener on the other side. But it's not, enjoy what you got. Because there's somebody who liiiikes it! :D

What is a good, natural looking self-tanning lotion / moisturizer for very fair skin?

I have very light skin. I do not tan, I burn. =(
But I really want to look like I go outside -cause I do, all the time! lol! I just don't look like it.

I'm looking for something that will build a light to medium tan. Nothing super dark and certainly not orange please! lol

Also any tips about how to apply, pervent streaking, ect. would be wonderful!! I have never done this before!

Thank you in advance! =)

Answer
Self-tanners are a perfect alternative to burning (a popular summer pastime of us fair folks)! I love the Loreal self-tanning gel, which, when applied with some rubber gloves, gives an absolutely perfect glow; it might be too strong for you. What I'd recommend? Check out the self-tanning beauty guide from Women's Health magazine. Its editors got streaked and bronzed for us all (hard life, huh?). See WH's tips and reviews from product testers here. http://www.womenshealthmag.com/beauty-and-style/best-self-tanners

These are WH's top picks:
For Fair Skin: Dove Energy Glow body lotion ($10 for 13.5 oz, drugstore.com)
For Dry Skin: Clarins Delicious Self Tanning Cream ($40 for 3.9 oz, clarinsusa.com)
For Your Face: Declor Aroma Sun SPF 10 Hydrating Tinted SelfTanning GelCream ($36 for 1.69 oz, sephora.com)
For an Intense Gradual Tan: Jergens Natural Glow Express ($7.50 for 4 oz, drugstore.com)
For Traveling: L'Oreal Sublime Bronze SelfTanning Towelettes for Body ($10 for 6 wipes, drugstore.com)

And also look into Shiseido Brilliant Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Gel for Face and Body ($28 for 5.4 oz).This turned out to be a WH fave.
http://www.womenshealthmag.com/beauty-and-style/self-tanning-products

Application: Hop in the shower and use an exfoliating glove or sponge and shave. Let your skin dry off completely, then grab some gloves (get a big box of medical gloves from your local pharmacy. This will keep the tell-all orange palms at bay and help it spread evenly), and get brown. To avoid orange joints, apply a very small amount to your knees, elbows, and ankles, then spread it in with a light touch; everywhere else, go as heavy as you'd like :)

Happy summer and happy tanning!

I have some questions about skin and makeup.?

I'm creating a new identity. I'm losing weight, colouring my hair, and looking after myself.

FACE: For my face, what should I do to care for it? I already cleanse my face every morning and I moisturize sometimes, but should I use a toner? What would a toner do for my skin?
How can I get my foundation to stay all day? I have really oily skin and that makes my foundation melt away after a few hours, and that really irritates me, I don;t like putting foundation on at school, it makes me feel dirty.

LIPS: What are some nude,peachy lip coloured lipsticks that aren't pale like a foundationey colour, but have a pinkey hue to them? Oh, and are relatively cheap and available NSW (New South Wales, Autralia)

EYES: Do you know of any videos on youtube or anything that can help a girl do winged gel eyeliner?

HAIR CARE: I recently bleached my hair, and it's not all that damaged, but the ends break easier than they did prior to the bleach. So, good shampoos and conditioners/ treatments..

Can you also try and keep things as cheap as possibly, I don;t have a lot of money.

Thanks in advance.

Answer
Firstly, can i just say CONGRATULATIONS!:)
well done for looking after yourself. You'll feel a lot better about yourself, a new year a new you eh!

FACE:
Well what I would recommend:
- use a cleanser to get rid of your make up
- wash your face with water and a gentle face wash - it will make you feel a lot fresher.
- moisturize twice a day, morning and night. In the words of Naomi from 90210 'moisturize twice a day keeps the bags away!' As you've described your skin as quite oily, I suggest you use a gentle moisturizer and not one designed for dry skin.

That can be your daily routine, however if you want to do a little extra you can do this:
- steam your face once a weak. - Steaming your face opens up your pores in your face, so it cleans your face and unblocks your pores - i suggest you do this once a week.
To steam your face is simple.

1) Make sure all your make up is off and your face has been washed.
2) Boil the kettle and when its boiled pour the hot water into a large bowl.
3) put your face just above the boiling water (MAKE SURE YOU DONT PUT YOUR FACE IN THE WATER!) You just want to steam to rise to your face - when your face is above the water, put a towel over your head so its covering the bowl as well - this way you wont let any steam escape.

You might also want to exfoliate once a week - exfoliators aren't expensive, i have one from the brand Simple and it cost around 3-4 pounds.

LIPS:
Max factor have released some lip pens, there in lots of different colours and you can get some peachy colours, here's a link to them:

http://www.boots.com/en/Max-Factor-Lasting-Lip-Tint_1129234/

If you use them though, your lips have to be well moisturized otherwise the lip pens will dry out your lips though so be careful.

EYES:
I use a liquid eyeliner (L'oreal superliner to be precise) and i find its really easy to use.

Heres a link to a youtube video on how to apply liquid eyeliner, skip to 5.00 because at the start she just talks for ages!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI8nTPlz0k4

HAIR CARE:
I recommend going to the hair dressers to get a trim, or even if you dont have a lot of money, get a family member to do it for you instead. It's really not that hard! just wash you're hair, comb it through, and then get someone to trim your ends in a straight line.

If you are planning on dying your hair, i wouldnt dye your hair lighter as it ruins your hair more then if you dye it darker :)

For shampoo's and conditioners, go for some that are for damaged hair. And also you could even get a hair mask. There really good! I had one for damaged hair and you just apply it like conditioner when you want and it just really conditions your hair. Maybe try 'Aussie 3 Minute Miracle' conditioner, here's a link:

Philosophy skin care qoutes?

"what i believe is what i will become. i believe i am special and that there will never be another like me...not ever. i believe i have been blessed with certain talents that will allow me to serve a purpose higher than my own. i believe we are all connected and that despite our differences we are one. i believe in the power of love and it's ability to heal all wounds. i believe there are no acts of coincidence only acts of god that work miraculously in life. i believe that the lessons i learn will the be the lessons i teach."

i bought the 'believe' kit, and this qoute was on the back.
i absolutely love it. i have other quotes on my shampoos and stuff.
does anyone know anymore of these quotes? there really inspiring me.

Answer
For attrative lips, speak words of kindness

For lovely eyes seek out the good in people

For a good figure, share your food with the hungry

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers

through once a day

For poise, walk with the knowledge

you will never walk alone

People, even more than things, have to be

restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed;

never through out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,

you will find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands,

one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,

the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,

because that is the doorway to her heart,

the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,

but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul

It is the caring she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.

And the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows.

Answer

Can I use just olive oil for the "oil method"?

I don't have any other oils at my house but I have olive oil and I want to try the oil method for m acne do you think I can use just olive oil or not?

Answer
Olive oil for cooking with foods? Sure, you can even go out, purchase a small 4 oz bottle of other types, it will last a long time, we should only have one table spoon per day, but use fish oils too, as a supplement, and do some reading, as most health nutrition books have sections on other supplements good for skin, hair, & nails beauty, health. It is easy to *eat to health (rather than go back and buy health through other costs,) even cosmetics, as men think solutions are *in a bottle, they are best, through what we *eat; *leafy greens, tomatoes, *plenty of fresh veggies, & *fruits, so, *drink plenty of water, (even flavor it if you like) , lemon is good, *sleep more & get *more-*exercise, *(it is all the *combination of all issues, here) which help promote *skin- health, *even in teen-age years, as *adequate protein each meal & *milk, *don't forget the *milk!

Q. asking this question again see if I can get better answer

ok so here's the thing I'm in college and working on being a singer my voice is a mix between alicia keys and mary j. and I know it's not all about your voice it is about the way that you look and I'm a cute girl I'm in shape and my skin color is about tyra banks maybe a little darker but just a tad but my question is will I have a problem getting into the music Business because if you look at all the popular singers of today they are light skin or white and I want to be on beyonce's or rihanna's level of success not just singing in clubs I mean there is not one true brown skin/dark skin female singer that is popular right now it's all about beyonce, adele, rita ora, one direction, and none of them are anywhere near dark what happen to the brandy's and monica's like in the 90's where people really didn't care what your color was but your talent why do you have to be light skin to be successful because I bet if some of these popular female singers where dark skin they would not have much success I mean elle varner she sings that refill song and don't get me wrong she has a good voice but she is as light as beyonce

Answer
I don't think its the skin color that matters because look at Diana Ross or Lionell Richie they're both quite dark in terms of skin color but they were very popular i think it depends on how good the songs are ,look at Rebecca Black shes quite pretty to be honest but her song friday was dreadful and that's why a lot of people hate her and why she hasn't got very far in the music industry :)

Where Do you shop for shoes and skin care?

and why

Answer
I shop at Ross for shoes, because they are always cheap, and they always have cute shoes. Marshall's and TJMaxx are also good stores for the same reasons.

I use Clinique's acne treatment line, because it works wonderfully with my skin. I also use Cetaphil lotion for my face, because I have sensitive skin and this is the best moisturizer for sensitive skin. You can buy it at Wal-Mart and pretty much everywhere else. I also like Emu Oil for anti-aging properties, which you can buy at www.dremu.com. It's pricey but lasts for a long time.

what are the best products for very acne prone, oily skin? i break out a lot around my period, by the way.

currently, i use St. Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Cleanser twice a day and St. Ives Apricot Scrub 3 times a week, and a 2% Salicylic Acid Astringent after every wash.

Answer
In my opinion, you are using far too much. Each of your products utilizes an exfoliating agent, both chemical and manual. And daily exfoliating can be detrimental to the skin.

Also, most people find that by using products designed for oily and/or acne-prone skin, their skin becomes MORE oily and MORE acne-prone.

I can't recommend any products specifically because I'm currently trying a water-only method (wipe my face down every morning with a wet cotton pad), as I found that even gentle products bothered my skin. I'd recommend going to review websites like http://www.makeupalley.com though to see what others like. You could also check out the acne.org forum (I post there myself) and see what others use - many people place their products of use in their signatures, and there is also a small review section.

Most people also find that once they stop using products to treat their skin, their acne heals much faster. So you might want to just use a hydrating cleanser on its own, and exfoliate with a different scrub (perhaps just brown sugar) no more than once a week if you do not have active inflamed acne.

I wanted to know how too ooze sex appeal and have a sexual aura
Open to ANY ideas (body language , aura cleansing , magic , lol anything will be taken into suggestion)
I'm looking for that appeal that attraction that pulls women to you ,and almost makes beautiful women want to seduce you..

Answer
This was an interesting article that I found for you:

http://www.yourtango.com/200926545/3-secrets-exuding-sexy

Basically, what it boiled down to is to just feel it. If you feel like you're sexy, other people will feel it too. Be happy with how you dress, don't necessarily try to be sexy every morning when you're standing in your closet trying to figure out what to wear. Let your personality shine through your clothes. And your actions. I'm pretty sure the majority of women want a man that is unique. Don't be cookie cutter and try to fit into the typical "sexy" mold. Be yourself, have fun, and SMILE! A simple smile can work wonders on a girl :)

I just bought a bottle because Sally's Beauty Supply didn't have the Loreal Hair Fixer... Has anyone used this oil and seen improvements in their hair's strength and fixing the damaged ends??

Answer
Yes Morocan Argan Oil, does magic effects on hair and Skin too

It's expanding the whole beauty markets in the world

here is some info, you can read more and order it from here www.organicargan.com


Argan oil benefits for skin & Hair

Argan oil is extracted from the kernels of the fruit that produced by the Argan tree. Argan tree is native in Morocco. Argan oil is uncommon and valuable resource for treating a wide range of cosmetic and medical problems. It contains high percentage of essential fatty acids and phelnols and so it is more resistant to oxidation than olive oil. It also contains vitamin A, omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids which provide more antioxidant benefits. Argan oil is very popular oil. It is very hard to extract this oil and so it is not generally cheap. Due to its high cost, it is sometimes found in products only in unpretentious amounts.

Health benefits of Argan oil are in popularity and can help to treat any ailment such as dry skin, eczema, acne, wrinkles, and lots more. Argan oil is also used on skin, hair, and nails for its beatifying action. They have hydrating and protecting action on the skin and so it can be used in facials and body massage, even for babies. Many women rub this oil over dry or cracked lips to make softy. Argan oil is shown to be helpful for improving hair strength.

The average nail growth is 3mm per month or 3/32 of an inch. For the future to grow long nails:

1. water is the enemy...it softens nails so wear gloves
2. don't abuse your nails by using them to pick or pry things
3. don't bite your nails
4. don't pick or chew on your cuticles
5. rub moisturizer into your nails when you apply it to your hands
6. keep your nails short and slightly rounded
7. don't use polish remover more than twice a month
8. apply a nail hardener, but avoid products containing toluene sulfonamide or formaldehyde

Hair growth
Normal hair growth is 1/2 inch per month. You can keep your hair healthy and increase growth to 3/4 inch per month by:
taking vitamins
scalp massage
wear you hair up (it protects it from the environment)
get it trimmed on a regular basis (no trims lead to ratty ends and lots of splitting/breakage)
use a satin pillowcase
use a boar bristle brush
do final rinse with distilled water
do not shampoo daily - shampoo only when necessary
avoid metal hair accessories
do not brush or comb hair when damp
don't allow your hair to get caught under you purse strap, coat collars, etc.
if it is windy, restrain your hair (prevents knotting which leads to breaking and splitting)
apply shampoo only to scalp and roots, when you rinse, it will clean balance of hair without drying it out -never pile your hair on your head when shampooing leave it hang
always condition but only apply to hair length...not scalp or roots (ears down is best)
leave in conditioners provide the most protection
after washing you hair, wrap in towel but do not rub hair with towel
if possible, avoid heat appliances: blow dryer, flat irons, etc. - if not, limit exposure
apply extra virgin olive oil to hair...just put a small drop on your hands, rub hands together and then apply to ends only

Misc.
To eliminate puffiness under your eyes all you need is a dab of preparation H, carefully rubbed into the skin, avoiding the eyes. The hemorrhoid ointment acts as a vasoconstrictor, relieving the swelling instantly.

For skin blemishes, cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a band-aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin, sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.

Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.

99 cent stores are mainly in CA/AZ/TX/NV they sell primarly name brand, consumable general merchandise. Stores are clean and full service. They offer a significant value on their everyday needs items. They sell regularly available products including food and beverages, produce deli, and other basic gerocery items, also health, beauty and household supplies... yes at 99 cents

Answer
The answer is simple. The labor is cheap and machines do most of the work. When you purchase items in bulk as a franchise or a major purchaser you are given a bargain price that the average person would not receive.

For example a 2 liter pop might be $1.00 for you but when a company purchases more then let's say +2500 (example) they receive the 2 liter pop for $.30.

It is mirror nail polish and I love it! Anyone know any beauty stores or online stores I can get this? Thanks!

Answer
The picture you gave it's not nail Polish my Dear these are Fake nails. I was searching for similar things a year back and I found this after wasting a lot of money on different nail polishes http://www.goosesglitter.com/2012/03/mirror-nails.html

So far some level of good mirror effect gives by nails Inc. Special Effects Mirror Metallic Nail Polish some of the nail polishes. But not like FAKE NAILS of course

Q. I don't want to order online and we don't have any malls here. What other stores can I buy the whole kit at?
Thank you

Answer
I've been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it's at.

I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.

I'm 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.

Literally the best acne face wash I've ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It's unique cause of it's herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.

You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn't work it will still save you butt on the return policy.

Well good luck and best wishes.

hi i just recently had my son 5 weeks ago
i qot a questuion about his skin
his skin is starting to peel plus he is getting wat looks like a rash around his neck and shoulders ??

Answer
peeling is really normal. My third child did it for weeks and weeks after he was born. Its because they are in fluid for 40 long weeks and the air dries their skin out. Moisturise him with olive oil or sorbolene twice a day to keep his skin supple. You can still bath him daily but don't use fragranced baby washes and shampoos. Plain warm water is fine and then rub him down afterward with moisturiser

It should only take a few more weeks to stop peeling so much

The rash could be from clothes irratating him? Its hard to know with rashes. See if the twice daily moisturising helps and if the rash is worse or no better in a few days take him to the doctors.
You should be seeing the doc at 6 weeks anyway so mention it when you go there

congrats and best of luck

Recommendations for basic skin care products?

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.
