What skin care products really work?
Labels:

Zoey Lopez
I want to know what skin products really work. I have fairish skin and freckles. I get little red bumbs in between my eyebrows, on my chin, and right under my hairline. Proactive? SkinID? Neutrogena? MaxClairity? Murad? Clean and Clear? Clearasil?
Answer
I'm afraid it's none of the above, lol. Honestly though, here is my skincare regime and it works wonders. The problem with most of the products out there in the market is that they contain detergent which will remove dirt, oil, and makeup but it also strips your skin of water. It's not labelled as detergent in the ingredients but it's called Sodium Laureth Sulfate or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. When your skin is dehydrated, it breaks down more quickly and will cause you to age faster because you loose elasticity in your skin (starts to droop and wrinkle). That's why most skin care is a huge marketing ploy. They sell you stuff that appears to work so you use it but then you begin to age prematurely so they can sell you wrinkle creams and things of that nature much faster than you ordinarily would need them... If you follow this regime and do it twice a day (morning & night) I promise you will have much clearer skin and you'll be slowing down the aging process.
1. Start by using a good eye makeup remover. The best ones are those that are half water and half oil that you need to shake up first. Clarins Instant Eye Makeup Remover is perfect for that and it's about $26 at Sephora or department stores. The reason these work best is because oil will break down makeup much faster and more gently causing you to rub your eyes a lot less which is less irritating. It's also great at removing waterproof makeup. Use it on a cotton all over your eyes and brows if you use any pencil or powder in them.
2. Get a cream cleanser that is NOT water activated. I have one I got from Target called Boots Botanics Organic Nourishing Cleanser which is $7.99 and it works great. Simply squeeze out an amount about the size of a quarter into your DRY hands and rub it together then onto your DRY face in circular motions, avoiding the eye area. You can then rinse it off with water or a damp washcloth but make sure you don't use any water when you are working this into your face at first. I know this sounds weird but almost all the cleansers that are water-activated contain detergent and that is what causes our skin to become dehydrated. When skin is lacking water, it compensates by producing more oil. The detergent also causes blackheads because it leaves a residue on the skin that clogs the pores.
3. Use an alcohol-free toner on two cotton pads and wipe off your face in downward and outward strokes. Toner will remove any excess cleanser on your face, leaving it completely clean and fresh. I use Neutrogena's Alcohol-Free Toner and it's $6.49 also at Target.
4. Use a daytime moisturizer and a night cream. During the day, our skin is fighting to hold in as much water as possible but we are subjected to so many dehydrating elements that we need to replenish that moisture at night when our skin is at rest. A daytime moisturizer will help act as a barrier for your skin so even if you are oily, use one! If you're worried about shine, go for an oil-free formula and if you are dry, use a richer moisturizer. At night, use a night cream (not the same daytime moisturizer) because night creams replenish the moisture you lost during the day. Just be sure mineral oil is not one of the ingredients in the NIGHT cream (can be in the day moisturizer) because mineral oil acts as a seal so nothing will penetrate your skin if that is in it. You can pick whatever you prefer and Target has several reasonable ones so pick what you like for your skin type.
5. Use a yoghurt mask every day if your acne is really bad and once it clears up, use it 1-2 times a week. Go to the grocery store and find either a lemon, orange, or pineapple-flavored yoghurt (any brand is fine) and apply it all over your face and let it sit for 10-15mins. Then rinse it off with lukewarm water. The cultures in yoghurt help neutralize the bacteria in pores (a blemish is simply a bacteria-filled pore) and the citric acid in the lemon, orange, or pineapple will help you exfoliate the top layer of skin which will be much better than using a scrub. DO NOT use a scrub, especially the granular ones (if you must use one, only go for one with micro-beads) because when you put that over a blemish, it will spread the bacteria to the surrounding pores and also can scar the pores which makes them bigger.
I hope this has helped but if you have any questions or need clarification, pls feel free to e-mail me. You can get my e-mail on my profile.

What is EVERYTHING I should have on my back-to-school shopping list?
Labels:
skin care boots 7
Q. Hey Everyone :]
I was just wondering what I should have on my back-to-school shopping list. I really want a list of everything, Skin Care, Hair Stuff, Clothing, Office Supplies.... The Whole Thing :-) I don't need any makeup because I don't wear any.
Thank you <3
If it matters I'm going into grade 11. :]

Answer
For clothes you should have:
5 to 7 pairs of jeans. Try to buy them in all different washes, cuts, and styles. You can get them from the same store, just be sure there is something noticeably different between each pair.
1 or 2 pairs of sweatpants. Get one pair in a soft, light heather-grey shade, and one in another color that flatters your skin tone and eye/hair color. These are great for lazy or sick days, when you're running late, just want to be comfortable, or cold days when you're not in the mood for jeans. BUT make sure they fit nicely. Tight around the butt, but not too tight. Get pairs with drawstrings to adjust the waist size.
2 to 3 skirts, depending on how often you wear them. But, every girl should have at least one denim skirt in their closet!
3 to 5 pairs of shorts. This depends on how often you wear shorts, or if your school allows them.
10 to 15 fitted tees. try Hollister, American Eagle, Aeropostale, Abercrombie, Wetseal, etc.
3 to 5 plain, solid colored layering tees. These are just those plain-colored, but still fitted and cute. They can also be accessorized as much as you like. Try to find 1 or 2 bright ones, and the rest soft and/or neutral shades.
4 or 5 hoodies are a good idea. These are the most common way to stay warm and cute in the winter time.
1 pair of good-quality tennis shoes for gym class. If you don't have good quality shoes, you'll get blisters and be very uncomfortable. My tennis shoes are all dirty, but they are comfortable. It's gym and fashion is not imperative.
4 to 10 pairs of other shoes to wear outside of gym class. Try to mix it up with heels, flip flops, flats, wedges, tennis shoes (such as Converse, Nike or VANS) and boots.
1 pair of Ugg boots and 1 pair of Ugg slippers should be good in the winter. If you don't like Uggs, find another pair of cute, furry boots that are warm and cozy; every girl needs at least one pair.
Accessorizing depends on how often you like to accessorize. So, if you rarely add anything to outfits, start! But stick with 1 or 2 pieces in each category. If you love accessorizing, embrace it, but don't go crazy!
Necklaces are important. If no other jewelry, a girl should always have her signature necklace. That one you wear no matter if you're shopping or playing a sport.
Bracelets. Unless if you're wearing bangles, the rule is to only wear one bracelet total. Not one on each wrist! Try to find a charm bracelet or tennis bracelet to wear when you dress up or as a statement piece. The maximum you should go with your bracelets is 2, but on the same wrist and make sure they go together!
Earrings. If you have more than 4 pairings an ear, it looks totally tacky! Only have the 2 pairings on your lobes, and either get your second holes (also on your lobes), OR get one cartilage piercing.
For bags, this can vary a lot. You can get a big tote or a regular backpack, or both! Depending on your outfit, you may want something more casual or something more classy.
For supplies you should have:
12 #2 Pencils
2 Glue Sticks
1 White Eraser
1 Pkg. Washable Felt Markers
1 Pair of Scissors
1 Pencil Case
10 Pocket Folders
2 Pkg. Lined Paper
1 Pkg. Plain Paper
10 Blue Pens
3 Red Pens
1 Ruler
1 Pkg. Pencil Crayons
2 1" Binders
8 Subject Dividers
1 Scientific Calculator
1 Geometry Set
1 Pocket Dictionary
1 Thesaurus
1 Pencil Sharpener
3 Highlighter Pens
1 Agenda Book/Student Planner
1 Stapler
For hair stuff you should have:
1 Large Shampoo Bottle (Garnier Fructis)
1 Conditioner (Pantene)
2 Cans of Hair Spray
1 Hair Straightener
1 Curling Iron
1 Blow Dryer
20 Bobby Pins
10 Clips
10 Hair Bands
(Depending on if you hair is naturally curly or straight you may need more or less stuff)
For skin care you should have:
Face Wash
Moisturizer
Lotion
Body Wash

How does a city boy become a country boy ? What state do i move to ?
I've just purchased a shotgun, rifle and a 4 wheel drive, what do i do next ? How do i skin a trot or run a buck line ?
Answer
1. Move out of the city. Find a small town near your city and you won't have to leave all of your old life behind. Just about every state has country areas.
2. Owning "country boy" items alone will not make you a country boy. You must know how to use them, enjoy using them, and use them often.
3. Get a job on a farm or ranch, doing mechanics, or doing construction/concrete work. Country boys love to be outdoors and care more about having a good time at work than about making money.
4. Get your priorities in line. They should be 1. God, 2. Your woman, 3. Your family, 4. Your town, 5. Outdoor hobbies (hunting, mud bogging, etc)
5. Saying country words will not make you a country boy unless you know what they mean and they come natural to you when you use them. If you don't know what "running a buck line" is, then ddon't say it.
6. Start collecting baseball caps, but know that the best ones are the ones that are good and worn in.
7. Stop caring about material things like clothes, shoes, cars, gadgets. Who needs a computer when you've got the great outdoors right outside your house.
8. Realize that the most romantic date is on a blanket in the bed of your truck on a hot summer night watching the fireflies and listening to frogs. Going to busy places where you have to pay to get in really isn't that romantic...why share your evening with anyone but your special someone.
9. Get some good, sturdy, waterproof boots and heavy-duty jeans. And be prepared to get them all dirty.
10. Get a dog.
11. Nights out with the guys will include beer, playing cards, and standing around in a garage where you intended to work on your truck/car, but nothing will actually get done.
12. Be prepared to be well-known. Secrets, stories, and other news fly faster than birds in small towns.
13. Be ready to know everyone - your grocer, your gas station attendants, and the waitresses at the few local restaurants around your home.
14. Have a tough outter shell with a big teddy-bear heart on the inside.

i have zits everywhere on my face and i want all the zits on my face to disappear...what do i use?
i am a 15 year old man that works out weekly
THANKS!
Answer
Here is my skin care routine and it works wonders. Itâs good for ANY skin type and is a great routine for anyone wanting to improve their skin, no matter what age, sex (yes boys can use it too), or skin problems you may have. The problem with most of the products out there in the market is that they contain detergent which will remove dirt, oil, and makeup but it also strips your skin of water. It's not labeled as detergent in the ingredients but it's called Sodium Laureth Sulfate or Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (check the ingredients on your current cleanser). When your skin is dehydrated, it breaks down more quickly and will cause you to age faster because you lose elasticity in your skin (starts to droop and wrinkle). That's why most skin care is a huge marketing ploy. They sell you stuff that appears to work so you use it but then you begin to age prematurely so they can sell you wrinkle creams and things of that nature much faster than you ordinarily would need them... Detergents also leave a residue on your skin that causes blackheads. If you follow this regime and do it twice a day (morning & night) I promise you will have much clearer skin and you'll be slowing down the aging process.
Step 1 Eye Makeup Remover: Find one that is half oil, half water that you need to shake up before using. These remove makeup fast with less rubbing needed so you wonât be irritating your eyes as much. Remove all eye and brow makeup with this. I use Clarins Instant Eye Makeup Remover which you can buy at Sephora or some department stores ($26.00).
Step 2 Cream Cleanser: Get a cream cleanser that is NOT water activated. Simply squeeze out an amount about the size of a quarter into your DRY hands and rub it together, then onto your DRY face in circular motions, avoiding the eye area. You can then rinse it off with water or a damp washcloth but make sure you don't use any water when you are working this into your face at first. I use Boots Botanics Organic Nourishing Cleanser which I got at Target ($7.99).
Step 3 Alcohol-Free Toner: Use it on two cotton pads and wipe off your face in downward and outward strokes. Toner will remove any excess cleanser on your face, leaving it completely clean and fresh. I use Neutrogena's Alcohol-Free Toner from Target ($6.49).
Step 4 Day Moisturizer & Night Cream: A daytime moisturizer will help act as a barrier for your skin to hold in moisture (not oil) so even if you are oily, use one! If you're worried about shine, go for an oil-free formula and if you are dry, use a richer moisturizer. At night, use a night cream (not the same daytime moisturizer) because night creams replenish the moisture you lost during the day. Just be sure mineral oil is not one of the ingredients in the NIGHT cream (can be in the day moisturizer) because mineral oil acts as a seal so nothing will penetrate your skin if that is in it. I use Boots Expert Light Moisturizing Lotion for day from Target (donât know price but it wasnât expensive) and Boscia Recharging Night Moisture from Sephora ($44.00).
Step 5 Eye Cream: Even if you have no wrinkles there yet, use a day eye cream. When you start to see wrinkles, you will need to get a night eye cream as well as your daytime one. Use a tiny amount (about half the size of a grain of uncooked rice) and rub it between both ring fingers. Then starting by the side of the nose, gently tap it into the skin while moving across the bone surrounding the eye and over your brows. Do not rub it all over your eyes and your lids because the skin there is extremely thin and cannot take so much moisture. I use Clarins' Eye Contour Gel which you can buy at Sephora or some department stores ( $48.00).
Step 6 Lip Balm & Chapstick: Lip balm replenishes moisture in your lips so it will heal chapped lips. Chapstick only acts as a seal to help protect your lips from getting chapped but it does not add moisture to them. Be sure your lip balm does not contain wax (unless it's beeswax as that is natural), petroleum, petrolatum, or mineral oil. I use Burts Bees from Target (I think itâs $2.99).
Step 7 Yoghurt Mask: Go to the grocery store and find either a lemon, orange, or pineapple-flavored yoghurt (any brand is fine) and apply it all over your face and let it sit for 10-15mins. Do this every day if you have bad acne or just 1-2 a week to exfoliate. Rinse it off with lukewarm water. The cultures in yoghurt help neutralize the bacteria in pores (a blemish is simply a bacteria-filled pore) and the citric acid in the lemon, orange, or pineapple will help you exfoliate the top layer of skin which will be much better than using a scrub.

Then starting by the side of the nose, gently tap it into the skin while moving across the bone surrounding the eye and over your brows. Do not rub it all over your eyes and your lids because the skin there is extremely thin and cannot take so much moisture. I use Clarins' Eye Contour Gel which you can buy at Sephora or some department stores ( $48.00).
Step 6 Lip Balm & Chapstick: Lip balm replenishes moisture in your lips so it will heal chapped lips. Chapstick only acts as a seal to help protect your lips from getting chapped but it does not add moisture to them. Be sure your lip balm does not contain wax (unless it's beeswax as that is natural), petroleum, petrolatum, or mineral oil. I use Burts Bees from Target (I think itâs $2.99).
Step 7 Yoghurt Mask: Go to the grocery store and find either a lemon, orange, or pineapple-flavored yoghurt (any brand is fine) and apply it all over your face and let it sit for 10-15mins. Do this every day if you have bad acne or just 1-2 a week to exfoliate. Rinse it off with lukewarm water. The cultures in yoghurt help neutralize the bacteria in pores (a blemish is simply a bacteria-filled pore) and the citric acid in the lemon, orange, or pineapple will help you exfoliate the top layer of skin which will be much better than using a scrub.

What is EVERYTHING I should have on my back-to-school shopping list?
Q. Hey Everyone :]
I was just wondering what I should have on my back-to-school shopping list. I really want a list of everything, Skin Care, Hair Stuff, Clothing, Office Supplies.... The Whole Thing :-) I don't need any makeup because I don't wear any.
Thank you <3
If it matters I'm going into grade 11. :]

Answer
For clothes you should have:
5 to 7 pairs of jeans. Try to buy them in all different washes, cuts, and styles. You can get them from the same store, just be sure there is something noticeably different between each pair.
1 or 2 pairs of sweatpants. Get one pair in a soft, light heather-grey shade, and one in another color that flatters your skin tone and eye/hair color. These are great for lazy or sick days, when you're running late, just want to be comfortable, or cold days when you're not in the mood for jeans. BUT make sure they fit nicely. Tight around the butt, but not too tight. Get pairs with drawstrings to adjust the waist size.
2 to 3 skirts, depending on how often you wear them. But, every girl should have at least one denim skirt in their closet!
3 to 5 pairs of shorts. This depends on how often you wear shorts, or if your school allows them.
10 to 15 fitted tees. try Hollister, American Eagle, Aeropostale, Abercrombie, Wetseal, etc.
3 to 5 plain, solid colored layering tees. These are just those plain-colored, but still fitted and cute. They can also be accessorized as much as you like. Try to find 1 or 2 bright ones, and the rest soft and/or neutral shades.
4 or 5 hoodies are a good idea. These are the most common way to stay warm and cute in the winter time.
1 pair of good-quality tennis shoes for gym class. If you don't have good quality shoes, you'll get blisters and be very uncomfortable. My tennis shoes are all dirty, but they are comfortable. It's gym and fashion is not imperative.
4 to 10 pairs of other shoes to wear outside of gym class. Try to mix it up with heels, flip flops, flats, wedges, tennis shoes (such as Converse, Nike or VANS) and boots.
1 pair of Ugg boots and 1 pair of Ugg slippers should be good in the winter. If you don't like Uggs, find another pair of cute, furry boots that are warm and cozy; every girl needs at least one pair.
Accessorizing depends on how often you like to accessorize. So, if you rarely add anything to outfits, start! But stick with 1 or 2 pieces in each category. If you love accessorizing, embrace it, but don't go crazy!
Necklaces are important. If no other jewelry, a girl should always have her signature necklace. That one you wear no matter if you're shopping or playing a sport.
Bracelets. Unless if you're wearing bangles, the rule is to only wear one bracelet total. Not one on each wrist! Try to find a charm bracelet or tennis bracelet to wear when you dress up or as a statement piece. The maximum you should go with your bracelets is 2, but on the same wrist and make sure they go together!
Earrings. If you have more than 4 pairings an ear, it looks totally tacky! Only have the 2 pairings on your lobes, and either get your second holes (also on your lobes), OR get one cartilage piercing.
For bags, this can vary a lot. You can get a big tote or a regular backpack, or both! Depending on your outfit, you may want something more casual or something more classy.

2 Glue Sticks

10 Pocket Folders
2 Pkg. Lined Paper

8 Subject Dividers
1 Scientific Calculator
1 Geometry Set
1 Pocket Dictionary
1 Thesaurus
1 Pencil Sharpener
3 Highlighter Pens

For hair stuff you should have:

2 Cans of Hair Spray
1 Hair Straightener
1 Curling Iron
1 Blow Dryer
20 Bobby Pins
10 Clips
