Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

any good skin care products that will leave skin glowing, and healty?

Answer
Beauticontrol skin care is great. They go by age, skin care for 20s, 30s, 40s and 50+ and have a sensitive and acne line, along with skin care for men.

I got a set about a month ago and I've seen a real change in the look of my skin, it actually looks great now. I'm sold on these products.

Best skin-care product?

I need a product that will keep away acne, and keep my skin looking good... Lots of people have recommended the Clinique 3-step system, but it's $50, and I'm not sure how long it lasts, so I don't know if it's worth it.

Answer
Hey Girl! :)
I have tried the Clinique 3- step skincare system, and for me personally, it didn't help my skin like I would have liked. I felt the toner and facial soap dried out my skin and made it feel tight. I did love the moisturizer though. :)

I have begun using the Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser For Normal to Oily Skin. What I love about the cleanser, is that it is very gentle and does a good job at making you feel squeaky clean. It has helped keep my pimples at bay.

I use the cleanser every other day. In between those days, I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub for Oily or Acne Prone Skin. This stuff is AMAZINGGGG!!!! :)
It makes your skin feel fresh, baby soft, and squeaky clean. :) I would recommend using it every other day though, since it is an exfoliator. It might be harsh towards your skin if you were to use it everyday.

Lastly, I use Clean & Clear Oil-Free Dual Action Moisturizer at bed time. This helps to moisturize my skin and helps treat any pimples I have at the same time. :) I really love this moisturizer. It gives my face a cooling sensation which I love.

I hope these recommendations for skincare helped you! This routine has really done wonders for my skin and I hope it helps you too.

I'm 14 years old, and my skin is oily in the t-zone. I'm just looking around for skin care products to keep my skin healthy, and natural. I use Clinique makeup and I was wondering if their skin care products are safe for 14 year olds.

Answer
of course they are safe! they have their 3 step system which includes facial soap, Clarifying Lotion, and Moisturizer.

first you use the facial soap which is just a cleanser

then for the clarifying lotion (which is toner) they have a #1, #2, #3
number 1 is for very dry to dry
number 2 is for dry combination
number 3 is for oily
number 4 is for very oily

it sounds like you need number 3(oily)

then you use the moisturizer. they have a lotion or a gel depending on your skin type. since you have oily skin, you would use the gel.

you can purchase these products individually or they come as a set. I love these products! I have tried all of them

and just if you are wondering the whole set costs $50.50

I hope this helps and you will love these products!

what is the average wholesale discount for skin care?

I am starting my own skin care company and I was wondering if any of you might know what the average discount in percentage is for selling products to stores when they buy wholesale/bulk. Plus if you have any tips for how to work with beauty supply stores, all help is appreciated. Thank you!

Answer
Most of them give a 10% discount.. Otherwise, when its more, you have to buy more than say $50 and you'll get 25% off on the products you buy..

What exactly are "ethnic hair/skin care products"?

I am sending care packages to soldiers overseas. Some of the African American female soldiers have requested ethnic skin and hair care products. Seeing as I have to slather myself in SPF 50 before greeting the sun and live in a pretty white-bread area, I have no idea what this means. What is the difference between ethnic hair products and non-ethnic hair products?? And where can I get ethnic hair and skin care products? Anyone want to help a pale sister out?

Answer
First off that is really nice of you to be sending care packages. Good job. Anyways if you go to Target or Harris Teeter ad go to the hair/skin care isle (ya know where they sell shampoo and stuff) there should be a whole section of ethnic beauty products. It should have a sign above it that says "ethnic hair care" or something like that. But ya ethnic products are just for African American people and stuff. Good luck!

I have to admit when I go down the skin care aisle at my store I do get a little overwhelmed.

There must be over a 100 different products for your skin. How do you know what to choose for your skin type and age?
I don't have any problems I want to fix, it's more for preventative measures.

I'm lucky enough to have pretty even skin and I've never had an acne problem.

So really I guess what I need is something to maintain my skin as it is now.

Answer
Figure out the exact problem you need to fix. Acne? Oily skin? Dry skin? Once you've got that figured out, you're already half way there.

As for age, I don't really think age matters. If you're 50 but you have adult acne, you can use Clean and Clear, even if it does seem targeted towards teens. Or if you're only 20 but you've got some premature skin aging going on, it's fine to use an Olay anti-wrinkle treatment. Age doesn't matter, if it solves your skin issues, it is good.

Once you know what you need to fix with your skin, move slowly through the aisles. Look on the labels to see what each product does. You'll be able to find products that will work for your skin problems. Then, once you've gone down the whole aisle (devote some time towards this!) write down all of the products that seemed as though they fit your needs. Then once you get home, look up reviews for them on makeupalley.com. Then you'll be able to figure out which work best, and you can go back to the store and buy them.

If your skin is nice already because of whatever you're doing now, keep doing it. I know personally that taking good skin and using products that you've never needed before can really take a toll on your skin and make it bad.

What skin care brands do dermatologists recommend most?

I'm looking for a new skin care regimen for my acne. I'm planning on going to the dermatologist in several months but I just want to know what brands doctors like and what brands they say to stay away from. Price is not really an issue so feel free to name any product.

Answer
When I have been, they have recommended Cetaphil but I don't remember it working that great for me. But here are ones that did---

Here are some good acne kits that you can buy at the drugstore (if you can't I listed where they are sold). I have used all of them in the past and can recommend them.
