Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

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.

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.

career in skin care?

I am a high school graduate, and have been working for the state for almost a year now, and I want to change my career choice. My mom just sold her salon, but i grew up around it, and have always been very interested in make up, hair, skin ect.. i love it, and i think i want to become a skin care specialist ( esthetician. ) Does anyone do this, or could tell me what its like, and how they became one? What school ect? thank you SO so so much! :)

Answer
I am an Aesthetician and Medical Assistant. If you are interested in that line of work, the first thing you need to do is find a school to go to in your area. They are cosmetology schools. Most schools you have to pay up front. Im in NV and it took 600 hrs and $5000.00 to become one. You do 40 hrs a week, a couple hours of theory out of a book and then you work on clients that pay a discounted rate for you to work on them. Most schools are Tues-Sat. After you complete those required hours you have to take your state board exam which consists of a practical in which you perform services in front of examiners and then a written test. After you pass both, you get your license in the mail!
I suggest going to the school you are interested in first to see the place in person. And just to let you know, it is a short period of time while you are there, but there will be DRAMA! It;s beauty school.

I have the mouth "parentheses" lines and smile wrinkles at my eyes. My skin is oily to normal and my pores are large. I have under eye circles, too.

Answer
You need to use high quality skin care products to battle the signs of aging, the Vivier professional skincare line may be a bit pricey, but you will see a difference!

This should work for your type of skin: http://www.tcclinic.com/cosmeticshop/c-e-kinerol-p-10.html

and for your eyes:

A friend of mine used this line of products and she noticed a difference in a few days.

Skin care at 40 - how to look my best in 7 months for wedding?

So, I'm getting married in 7 months and I'm 40 years old. What kind of skin care can I start to put my best face forward on my wedding day? I've heard of facial "toning" with micro-currents - does it work?

p.s. No surgery please, I'm not into that (plus I'm not THAT old!). Thanks in advance.

Answer
Start by getting a facial at a reputable salon (1X a month or so). You can ask the esthetician what she recommends. She'll study your skin and give you a treatment designed for your skin type.

Do you have a regular skin care regime? If you don't, then now is the time to adopt one. Regardless of your skin type you need to wash, tone and moisturize 2X a day. On top of that, put sunscreen on EVERY morning. In the morning, after toning and before moisturizing I recommend a topical vitamin C product, and at night, a topical vitamin A/retinoid. Also, exfoliate as needed depending on your skin type.

Here are some product suggestions:
-Bliss The Youth as We Know It- there's an entire line including cleaner and toner and I have tried them all, but the moisture cream and eye cream are particularly amazing and give instant result.
-Bliss Sleeping Peel Serum (there is also a cleanser). You would put this on your face after cleaning and toning at night.
-Bliss Triple Oxygenating Energizing Mask- brightens up your entire complexion. It really works and is quick and easy to do at home.

For vitamin C:
- Philosophy 'A Hope and a Prayer'- it's vitamin C in powder form, you mix a scoop full with serum or moisturizer each morning (this is what I'm currently using. it works well and is less expensive than most vitamin C products
- Skinceuticals CE Ferulic- this is a serum. It works great but is somewhat pricey (also try their B5 serum)

If you have oily skin, black heads and break outs try:
-Laboratoire Remede Double Oxygenating Booster
-Laboratoire Remede Complete Treatment Anti-Aging/Oil Control
-Bliss Steep Clean (this is a pore cleaning mask and is single-handedly the BEST product for getting rid of stubborn black heads)

Make-up (assuming you wear it):
-Less is more. Visit the Clinique counter (or similar) for recommendations. I'd try the lightest, sheerest things possible and if you are used to wearing foundation religiously every day you should try giving your skin some days off

You can always treat yourself to an at home facial, I do this once a week:
1. clean
2. exfoliate (I use Origins Modern Friction or Cosmedicine Medi-Morphosis Self-Adjusting Exfoliator)
3. steam for 10 minutes (boil water, pour in bowl and lean over with a towel draped over head-BE CAREFUL)
4. mask (one suitable for your skin type, I use the Steep Clean to clear out my pores, leave on as per package directions)
5. Wipe mask off face using washcloth, rinse with COLD water
6. Tone
7. Serum
8. Moisturizer

Good luck with your wedding. You gave yourself plenty of time, you'll have a glowing complexion in 7 months! Hope I helped, I don't know your exact skin type so I did the best with what I had :)

My whole life I've pretty much done nothing with my skin. I've had acne issues througout adulthood but my skin seems to have finally settled down. I still get the occasional breakout with hormone changes, but for the most part it's calm.

What I'm finding now is that my skin looks lifeless and dull and flaky.

I would like to get it looking good again while I still can.

I would like some recommendations for products that really work and fit my criteria:

1. I have somewhat sensitive skin

2. I don't like stuff that's really greasy

3. I LOVE disposable facial cloths that you can wash your face with and throw out. I just can't make myself do any type of actual cleanser/toner routine. Don't know why. Lazy I guess.

4. I currently use a day and night cream on my face - so I'm down with creams, but I'm looking for something that will really work to bring back the dewey glow I should have at my age (Under 40)



Thanks! ! Will choose best answer-

Answer
To get your skin glowing and moisturized, I would recommend Burt's Bees Radiance skin care products :)

Ideas for new skin care for over age 40?

I've just used a hodge podge of skin care products over the years. I'm looking to go with a particular line but prefer it not be extremely expensive. I have normal skin, large pores, some wrinkles near eyes, neck and lips but otherwise pretty healthy skin.

Also have blood vessels that stand out over my cheekbones just at the outside corner my eyes. Any ideas on how to cover these up!

Answer
Oil of Olay Regenerist Collection for the skin care.
The have a new line that performs a thermal lift. The package is about 23.00 and it works wonders.
How are you with foundation and concealer? What line do you currently use? I may have some great suggestions for you.

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
