Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

Ive tried everything....should I try the phytomer skin care line?
It's about $150.00 for a 2-4 month supply.

I have really bad acne recently and definitely a lot of scarring now.

Thoughts?

Answer
I would not recommend that you use another product. The most common mistake people make is using too many products, which can make the problem worse. To clear up pimples or acne keep your face scrupulously clean - a mild soap and water is all you need unless you have significant outbreaks and then you should use an antibacterial soap. Wash only twice a day. Rinse well. Drink plenty of water. Avoid touching your face if you have not first washed your hands - our hands have TONS of bacteria on them. If you do get a pimple, do not pick at it. Treat it by using a hot wet compress (clean washcloth) two or three times a day. If you want to use a moisturizer, use olive oil. It really does work and is not at all greasy, despite what you might think. Never put anything on your skin that you would not also consider eating, as if it is rubbed into the skin it is also absorbed into the blood stream. If you do these things and you still have uncontrolled outbreaks of pimples, see your doctor, as you may have acne, which usually requires prescription medication.

What kind of license needed to do laser skin care?

I want to know what kind of license needed to do laser skin care( eye brow tatoo removal, age spot etc.) With an estheician license, will it be enough? Thanks

Answer
It depends where you live and what the local or state requirements are. In some states, you only need to work under a doctor's supervision and don't need an esthetic license, which I find a bit scary. I would never want to go to anyone who does not have appropriate education. Esthetic license should get you in anywhere. There are advances esthetic courses you can take as well since many physicians want people who are experienced on the machines. Each machine is different though, and some states require direct education from the machine's manufacturer before allowing estheticians to use it.

Good luck.

How can If any of my cosmetics have heavy metals such as Lead and mercury?

Hello,
today I was watching the television show "The Doctors" and they were talking about ingredients in skin care and beauty products that were harmful such as phthalates, formaldehyde. They also said that lip liners and lip sticks contain lead and mercury and I was just wondering how I can tell if my cosmetics have these chemicals and metal in them? Is it just cosmetics that were made in china that I need to be cautious of?

Thanks in advance :)
