Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

They can be related to health, beauty, academics, relationships, whatever.

Answer
Health -- Eat well. This is one of the best things you can do for your body. No matter how busy you get, make sure you get in some physical activity at LEAST 3 times per week. Body health = brain health. I can't stress that enough!!

Beauty -- Some girls are super high maintenance in college/university. Those are the first years, and it's obvious. The people who are serious about their studies don't wear stilettos every day. ;) However, I'm not telling you to abandon personal care. Just be sensible about your wardrobe, and lean more towards comfort than the newest fad (after all, you'll be spending lots of time studying..and it's distracting to be uncomfortable!). Also, dress modestly. Professors will take you more seriously as a student if your boobs and butt aren't hanging out. Professionalism makes for better reference letters! Really.

Academics -- Figure out *your* best learning style. Do you need to make notes? Do you need to just listen? Does highlighting your textbook work? What about reading out loud? (goofy, but works for me! In my room alone, of course.) Another VERY important detail that a lot of first years miss: attend class! It's not like high school where a skipped class is no big deal. Skipping college/university classes are more dangerous, because you're held accountable for your own learning. The prof won't baby you for the assignment you missed. It's up to you to get the notes/assignments.

Relationships -- As much as having a boyfriend is fantastic (and I get that, really.), if you don't have one now, don't seek one in your first year or two of school. Focus on your education, and *then* worry about boys. Besides, if a guy sees you, there's nothing stopping him from taking the initiative. What I'm saying is, don't seek it out. You'll make some awesome friends in college. Be open to meeting new people. Step outside your "comfort zone" and talk to people next to you. They're just as nervous as you, so if you break the ice, they will be relieved. ;) I heard this quote once, and I really think it's true and applies here: "If you make it plain you like people, it's hard for them to resist liking you back."

Whatever -- Have fun! Enjoy your time in college. Take it easy on the parties and plan for study time, but don't stress! You'll have a great time. :)

Hope this helps!

Oily skin solutions? Oily bangs solutions?

What are good beauty products (foundation, facial wash, and moisturizer) for a very oily T-zone with dry cheeks? ><; I have bangs that get oily quickly as well, and shampoo suggestions are good also.

Answer
hi :)

I used to suffer from bad skin, but I now have clear skin, so I am going to try and help you. Please read for more info: :D

First off all, foundation is not good for your skin, as it stops your skin from being free and breathing properly. However, if you want to use some foundation I suggest you use, either L'Oreal Mineral Foundation or Chanel. L'Oreal Mineral Foundation is very good, because it contains minerals which your skin likes. My personal favourite is Chanel, because they have wonderful products and whenever I use their foundation it leaves my skin feeling fresh and glowing. It may be expensive but you pay for the quality. For the facial wash, I just wash my face everynight and every morning with warm water using a flannel. I don't like facial wash and I don't think they actually work. But if you want one choose one that is chemical free. Don't listen to these lies buy the products like neutrogean, because they don't work, they just say they do, because they want money. Your moisturer is the most important, because it works as a cleanser too. I suggest my two favourites, coconut oil and camolline. You can buy them at any health food store and everything they sell there is natural.

For the shampoo, I live in England and I don't know if they sell it in America, but I use J.A.S.O.N shampoo and their shampoo is completely natural and my favourite one is peach. It smells yummy and leaves your hair glowly and smooth. It's all natural so it doesn't harm your hair. I suggest any chemical free and natural shampoo.

Try this home remedy to help you out:

I always do this, especially in the summer when the sun is out - but you know in England, there's hardly any sun D: buy some lemons from the shop. Press them and get the fresh lemon juice - it doesn't matter if there are any bits or pips in them. Then just apply the lemon juice onto your face and scars. You can do this even if you don't have any scars, but just to help get rid of the acne. You apply it on your face and leave it for a few minutes. DON'T! add any water. Adding something to it, will kill off all the good bits, just leave it as it is. It will sting a bit, but it doesn't matter. If you want blonde highlights for your hair, sit in the sun for 30 minutes and apply the lemon juice all over your hair. Works like a treat and saves money to the hairdresser ;] so yeah, bascially apply it on your face

Good luck xoxo

Q. Ok, so i'm almost 14 and going into year 9, and i'm starting to get into makeup ect. (the pressure has beaten me aha) And I was wondering what I should buy. I have pale / pink skin and kind of a blotchy / oily complexion, and dark circles / tiny eyes.

I wash my face (most of the time) twice a day with a Simple gel and blemish removing moisturizer, and apply spot cream if i have any and lip balm every couple of hours when i have some on me. I also use baby oil after i shower and moisturize my arms / legs before i go to bed occasional. Does that cover the 'health' aspect?

Make-up wise, I don't have much. Only the stuff I get from magazines, some of which is decent butI have sensitive skin and tbh I think most of it is junk. I do have foundation but it's kind of orange, I always water it down heavily with moisturizer. These are some things I have bought / ordered and are on their way

~ A white eyeliner (I heard they make your eyes look brighter if you put it on your waterline)
~ A dark brown and a black eyeliner
~ Some dark brown mascara
~ A neutral 'amber' peachy lip stain
~ Some kind of dark rose lipstick
~ Some foam triangles
~ A set with five shades of concealers / eye shadow type stuff that comes with a brush
~ Loads of rose tinted Vaseline and Body shop flavored lip balm

Is that all I need?
Obviously because I am 13 I don't really 'go out' much so I don't need any dramatic stuff, just simple things i can wear to school and apply in under what, 15 minutes? Am I set?
Ant tips? :)
Stop spamming :)
Thank you! :) I'll look into getting some of that powder, because my nose and forehead to get very shiny.

Answer
If you get spots and dark circles, I would suggest a concealer and for your oily complexion I would get some pressed or loose powder and just apply a little bit to your t-zone or where you get shiny. White eyeliner is really good for making your eyes look bright and open so I would use that for school instead of black eyeliner for a more natural look (dark brown is more natural too though.) You could use the black eyeliner or darker colours when you're not at school though. Finish off with some mascara and lipgloss (or the Vaseline rosy lips.) Maybe when you get more into make-up you could use some eyeshadow and blush/bronzer but that's not really needed at the moment. (You can use a natural coloured eyeshadow for school.)

i have oily t-zone but don't have acne. please help?

any home remedies???

Answer
Bathing daily cleanses the skin, but it also can dry it out, causing it to look dull, but most importantly, it may cause irritation and remove the natural emolients your body produces to keep it healthy. When you bathe, always use a moisture-rich cleanser, and always pamper your skin with a daily moisturizer. Also, using products the wrong way helps your oily gland cells act up, for example if you have a tzone (oily only forehead and nose) and you use a serum for the entire face, this will help the sebacious glands (oil glands) to produce more oil. Also if you have acne you should not use a scrub because this is what could worsen your acne because it active the production of the sebacious glands. I would recommend you having your daily skin care regimen with products formulatted without mineral oil, animal products, fragrances, dyes, and chemicals. I herd in fox news about the ingredients in the "beauty" products. Did you know that the mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing you could do to the health of your skin? #1 is the sun. It is like rubbing car oil and exposing yourself to the sun. Did you know where animal products come from? they come from dead animals..... there are tghese plants (rendering plants) that what they do is get all the dead animals put them in a huge pot, squash everything in there, boil it and the oil that comes to the top is what companies use to formulate their products, gross i know.....this is the reason I only use botanically based products for my skin.... these products help you to see results. the news i am telling you about the toxins we can see in the beauty products, this is the link.... http://easylink.playstream.com/ydc/arbon...
it is alarming, and the products the spokeswoman for the National Cancer Society actually uses are ARBONNE the same products i use ..... https://secure.myarbonne.com/arbonne/arb...

when bleaching hair at home more than once, how many days should be left between processes?

I'm planning on bleaching my hair with the Beyond the Zone 40 vol. kit, I'll need to process it more than once (I'm going for a super-light blonde so I can re-dye it purple and blue at a later stage) I was thinking of leaving four days between each process and using two hair masks in the between days. Is this enough or should I leave it longer?
and are there any other ways to minimize damage?

Answer
If you're bleaching more than a month, two months, three months, you're bleaching too much.
Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.

The hair industry is a billion dollar business, they sell products that cleans & condition the hair. They also sell products that damage and causes hair loss. They also DO NOT give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss due to 'abuse'.


I've responded to many girls (guys now too) under 15 experiencing in hair loss since 2009, due to hair straightening, relaxers and hair dyes. Women 60-90 have those same symptoms but it took them years to get there. But for 15 & under, giving advice here? They can't predict the future of their hairs, until they're in their 30's, but 15 & under with hair loss? C'mon! I've responded 7 in 2 hours 9-3-10, (before school started) 4 in 1hour 3-5-11 alone.

One example of hair loss on a 16 years old.
I'm 16 years old, i don't really die my hair that much i probably died it like twice this whole year. well i lose soooo much hair EVEY SINGLE DAY, i lose soo much, that I'm literally almost bald :,( my doctor said she thinks its some kind of hormone change, then my hairstylist says its because its waaay to dry, but idk what it is because it wont stop falling out!!! It might be because i use to straighten it when i had mouse in it, but that was like 2 years ago.. helpp!!!

Another example: Before i dye my hair, my hair is so healthy and thick, but now after i dye my hair , my hair becoming disaster... my hair doesn't health like before! my hair loss LOT! i tried to try all kind of shampoo!

Another example, ? about her age:
"I recently decided to dye my hair. I didn't like the first color so I dyed it again a week later. Then I permed it 4 weeks later, now its really dry and brittle and falls out everywhere, it comes out in chucks when I comb it or even wash."

When it does that, it is too late to do anything about it. That's another reason why the hair industry is a billion dollar business, their main job is to make tons of money and they do not give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss, due to 'abuse'.

Google hair dyes & cancer spec. black hair dyes which is made from tar. Some people smoke & tan all their lives and do not get cancer. But there are 2nd hand & 3rd hand smoke who are now carrying their oxygen tank so they can breath or have cancer. Same with hair dyes. If you're not affected today, or next month, you may never be affected and you're one of the lucky ones. It doesn't take overnight, it takes years of hair experimentation with hair dyes.

Google: Hair Dye FAQ's Are Hair Dyes Safe?

Here's a new article I found re: henna, which is supposed to be better for you than reg. box dye. It's a good read! Google: Henna for Hair

I know hair. I have over 4 decades of hair know-how. I have silky, shiny, soft, smooth very healthy hair down to my knees. Previously damaged by perming & dyeing in the 80's & 90's. I've known people in their 30's whose hair stopped growing from ironing their hair in the 70's. FDA gov. Hair Dye & Relaxers for side effects. One is hair loss.

There is a beauty pageant comin up soon and i cant stand the little poof...

Answer
The fastest healthy way is to 1) change your diet, 2) workout with weights 3 times a week, and 3) do cardio in your target heart rate zone for at least 20 minutes twice a week or more.

A few notes:
1) Change your diet means cut out processed foods and refined sugar. Cut out salt. And drink plenty of water. No more soda or sugary drinks. No more white bread or white rice. You want wholoe foods. Try to eat 5 or 6 small meals a day of healthy food. This keeps speeds up the metabolism.

2) You can't spot reduce fat so working out the whole body causes muscles to grow and burn fat. The more muscles you work the more fat gets burned.

3) You may want to consider using a heart rate monitor. Or you can simply work hard enough that you stay winded and breaka good sweat.

Also, drink at least 8oz of water for every hour you are awake. Drink a cup or two of green tea every day. Green tea is supposed to help burn fat too.

Get 8 hours of sleep every day. Sleep and rest between strength workouts is important.

Good luck. Give this rouitine 4 to 6 weeks before you notice the changes in your whole body.

My wife is doing this and I'm alread starting to see changes after 3 weeks. She also get lots of good tips from Women's Health Magazine. Remember, if you get fit the right way you will create a lifestyle that you can maintain for a lifetime. Short cuts will come back to haunt you eventually. Good luck.

I've learnt that you cannot make someone love you,
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.

I've learnt that no matter how much I care,
Some people just don't care too much about it.
I've learnt that it takes years to build up trust,
And only seconds to destroy it.

I've learnt that it's not what you have in your life,
But who you have in your life that counts.

I've learnt that you can do something in an instant,
That will give you a heartache for life.

I've learnt that no matter how thin you slice it,
There are always two sides.

I've learnt that you should always leave loved ones with
loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I've learnt that we are responsible for what we do,
No matter how we feel.

I've learnt that there are people who love you dearly,
But just don't know how to show it.

I've learnt that true friendship continues to grow,
Even over the longest distance.
And the same goes very much for true love as well.

I've learnt that just because someone doesn't love you
the way you want them to,
Doesn't mean they don't love you at all.

I've learnt that maturity has more to do with what
types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them,
And less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I've learnt that no matter how good a friend someone is,
They're going to hurt you every once in a while
And you must forgive them for that.

I've learnt that no matter how bad your heart is broken
The world doesn't stop for your grief.

I've learnt that just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other.
Similarly, just because they don't argue,
It doesn't mean they do.

I've learnt that we don't have to change friends
If we understand that friends change.

I've learnt that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a
secret. For it could change your life forever.

I've learnt that no matter how many friends you have,
If you are their pillar,
You will feel lonely
And lost at the times you need them most.

I've learnt that the people you care most about in life
Are taken from you too soon.

"I love you" can have many different meanings,
It loses value when overly used.

I've learnt that love is not for me to keep,
But to pass on to the next person I see.
I've learnt that even when I have pains,
I don't have to be one.

It is said that for money you can have everything, but you
cannot.

You can buy food, but not appetite;
Medicine, but not health;
Knowledge, but not wisdom;
Glitter, but not beauty;
Fun, but not joy;
Acquaintances, but not friends;
Servants, but not faithfulness;
Leisure, but not peace.

How to reduce blackheads on cheeks?

My cheeks were very dry at first, so I used Shiseido's moisturizer on them after I wash my face every time. My T zone is usually oily. I wash my face twice a day. Soon, my cheeks has blackheads and the cheek area was of a different shade of colour than the rest of my face. What am I to do?

Answer
Mix oatmeal with egg white and apply it on the affected area twice a week. Wash it off when it is dry. Check out http://beauty-health-tips.com/blackheads-removal-tips/
