How can I make my skin more clear and smooth?

Mostly my face because its breaking out and my skin is starting to get splashings and rashes?...instead of buying products, what can I do to start taking care of my skin?How can I make my skin more clear and smooth?
Taking care of your skin need not be an expensive proposition. In fact, it has more to do with consistency than just about anything else. What you WILL need are the following:





1) a good basic cleanser such as Cetaphil or Purpose


2) a basic moisturizer such as Cetaphil or Purpose


3) an exfoliant such once a week with an asprin mask (listed below)


4) probably most important is a sunscreen such as Purpose


5) don't rule out checking in with a good esthetician or dermatologist when you're having problems. Catching skin outbreaks while you're young and using sunscreens while you're young can ensure flawless skin into your 40's and beyond.





I list Cetaphil and Purpose products as they are some of the gentlest and most healing products around and are suitable for even the most sensitive. Purpose makes a wonderful sunscreen although I prefer my patients to wear a 30 SPF along with hats that have at LEAST a 6 inch brim, long sleeves and pants. Make sure to reapply sunscreen during the day. All this will go a long way toward helping those splotches go away. Also note that when changing from one skin care regimen to another there is always an adjustment period. Even when clients change from one line to another I always suggest using the above products in between for at least one month. This helps to protect the skin from ';product shock'; and gently moves them out of one line and into another. Know that when you change routines or skin care lines that breakouts often occur and can do so for quite a few weeks. Be patient. It means that all the dirt, sebum and yucky stuff are coming to the surface and are being expelled. When to be concerned? If you have large, painful lumps start to form under the skin (acne), tiny white hard pearly looking white heads - milia- this means your probably using too rich a moisturizer, if the ';splashings and rashes'; you have aren't gone in 3 months OR if they get worse, see a Dermatologist.

';What is the aspirin mask? The aspirin mask is a homemade BHA mask available to each and everyone of us, totally inexpensive and highly efficient, made of salicylic acid or tablets of aspirin. BHA is known to help tremendously with cleaning pores from deep inside and therefore contribute to keeping our skin blemish-free. BHAs are efficient on existing blemishes as well, by helping them heal faster and keeping pores clean afterwards.





Indications: all skin types, especially normal to oily and combination skin, acne-prone and clogged skin.





Basic preparation: 1/4 tsp. salicylic acid (ask for it at pharmacy, if you cannot find it, then crush 3-5 tablets of plain aspirin instead), distilled water. Mix the powder with the water until it becomes of a creamy consistence, apply on clean dry skin (focus on T-zone and sides of the nose). Keep it on until completely dry. Take a small cotton pad, wet it lightly and begin scrubbing the areas covered with the mask, making small circles. Finally, rinse with plenty of water. It would be excellent to apply a calming mask or a hydrating mask first, followed by your regular moisturizer. Skin will be left completely smooth and even.





There are practically unlimited versions of this mask. You can add yoghurt for an astringent effect, aloe vera, honey. You can also make the mask using a basic moisturizer mixed with salicylic acid instead of water, as it will be less harsh on the skin and will be more easy to use. Another option is to mix salicylic acid / crushed aspirin into a mask: into a clay mask, a hydrating mask or a soothing mask. My personal favourite is aloe vera mask with a hint of salicylic acid - application is much better, skin is less irritated and dried compared to aspirin with water, the feeling left after this mask is absolutely unique so smooth and clean!





If you use powdered salicylic acid, it is advisable to limit the quantity to 1/4 tsp. for the whole face, too much will burn the skin. If using aspirin tablets, you will probably need somewhere between 3 and 10 tablets depending on the area where you apply it.





Do not apply it near to eye zone, as it would be extremely drying and irritating for the sensitive skin there.





Refrain yourself from over-using it. For very oily skin and for severe blemishes, every 3 days would be more than enough in order not to stress the skin and obtain maximum efficiency. Other skin types should use it once a week or twice a month (dry to very dry, sensitive skin).'; This is from DIY Skin Savers which can by found here at ezine articles: http://ezinearticles.com/?DIY-Skin-Saver鈥?/a>

What is the best at home microdermabrasion for someone with ruddy/pockmarked skin from acne?

I am looking for an at-home product,and looking to spend around $30-40 dollars. I have fair skin that is reddened from acne, with visible pores, lefover acne scars..What is the best at home microdermabrasion for someone with ruddy/pockmarked skin from acne?
I haven't seen anything that will help with acne scars for that inexpensive or at home. Many of the at home chemical peels help to even out skin tone and reduce pores, but you have to do them regularly. The only thing that will help with leftover acne scars and do a REALLY good job at reducing pores is a medium chemical peel. It may be worth the money though, and there is financing for this sort of thing if you can not afford it all up front. You would need to find a plastic surgeon.


hope this helps!What is the best at home microdermabrasion for someone with ruddy/pockmarked skin from acne?
A wonderful new skin technology that used to be only available through Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons is available to everyone now with a prescription. The only breathable barrier masque that you roll on a night and wash off in the morning. More info at www.GetMasqued.com. I absolutely love it! Report Abuse

How do I get flawless skin and complexion?

I know drinking alot of water...fruits....and vegetables helps.....Plus getting plenty of sleep and reducing stress can improve skin too. How do you imimprove the overall texture.....complexion.....and get rid of scars and dark marks and blemishes?How do I get flawless skin and complexion?
Flawless skin has lots of meaning. Flawless in the sense that no blemishes of previous accidents, operation, inborn allergies are observed in your skin. Flawless, when you have white skin and has soft touch. Flawless, when you have well shaped and without hair in your skin. The former statement cited are the natural flawless skin. If you are a person with allergy, its difficult ot become flawless. Only people without previous illnesses can stay flawless by eating vegetables, fruits, and balanced diet with plenty of water (at least 8 glasses a day)How do I get flawless skin and complexion?
A cream that can improve your skin condition for acne problem, dryness, pimples, visible big pores, whitening effect, blackheads, balancing oil %26amp; lightening pigmentation. For products catalogues and price list pls log on to:- http://www.tagged.com/productservices
vitamin a gives you flawless skin cause it takes away most oil from your pores that are filled with bacteria that make your skin oily looking and gets riod of scars. Benzoyl peroxide wash in the morning. Astrigent then vitamin E soap at night with vitamin A tablets. You will notice a difference in three days, good results in two weeks
There are no miracle creams out there, girl. Most of them can only disguise what you want gone [even then not well], and others only fade the look slightly. For really, truly, flawless skin [like celebs] all you can do is visit a good derm. Treat yourself! They do amazing things. They get rid of acne, bumps, redness, scars, and other disfiguring things. It's the only thing that works.

You must wash your face 3 times a day. If you have oily skin then ash your face every 4 hours. Never use soap on your face as it dries the natural oils from it, use a soap free face wash instead. An easy way to know if your face wash is harsh for you it is see if it burns you eyes. If yes, then it鈥檚 harsh. Choose a face wash with glycerin as a base ingredient.





Choose a natural moisturizer as far as possible. Aloe Vera is the best option for the hot summer months as it helps to cool your skin while giving it the moisture that it needs. For the colder months choose a more intense cream with almonds or nut butter, strawberries or peach. Always use a moisturizer that suits your skin type, there is no one cream suits all option. If the cream makes your skin feel heavy means t is not being absorbed by your skin and that it is not right for you.





Use an alcohol free toner every time you wash your face. The toner helps to close any open pores and prevents dirt and oil to collect in your pores, thus preventing acne and pimples.





Exfoliate your skin twice a week with an apricot or walnut face scrub. This removes dead skin cells and helps to reveal glowing skin.

    Has anyone ever heard of a kitten getting a worm under her skin?

    My kitten had a scab on her, neighbor told me she has a worm under her skin there, and it will kill her. Can't call vet til tomorrow, so kind of worried. Any help please!Has anyone ever heard of a kitten getting a worm under her skin?
    I think it might be ring worm that your neighbor is referring too. Ring worm isn't actually a worm, it's a fungus, like athlete's foot. It is very contagious to humans and other animals as well. The only way to get your cat better is to have her checked out real soon. It's not life threatening. Please, don't listen to this neighbor of yours. Obviously she doesn't know what she's talking about.Has anyone ever heard of a kitten getting a worm under her skin?
    under the skin??? yes , Maggots ! or worm larvae(Cuterebra)





    if your neighbor is sure if what he saw you better rush to the vet .


    maggots can be a threat to household pets and livestock,but to get infected is that she could have it is getting in contact with another infected cat/animal....





    make sure to clean your hand after petting her.





    But it could probably be ring worm ( fungus infection)


    it can be treated easily , might take time though.

    How can I get soft skin all over?

    Also how can I get rid of spots on my back and chest?


    How can I get an even skin tone without using foundation?How can I get soft skin all over?
    Skin cells are all over our body. As they renew we need to exfoliate the old skin cells off. After bathing it is important to towel dry the entire body as the skin cells are loosened and are exfoliated this way. next you apply a moisturizing lotion,cream,etc. Get a product with Aloa Vera I would suggest. Aloa Vera has a small molecule and will carry into the skin all ingredients that are added to it.


    Water is the purest thing for the body to stay hydrated. Remember when you drink water. 8 glasses . Your organs use the water first the skin being the biggest. The body needs lots of pure water for healthy skin.


    You did not say what kind spots! For your face you will need to wash,exfoliate,mask,toner and moisturizing with sun screen.


    There you have it. For age spots try adding vitimin C serum to your moisturzer.How can I get soft skin all over?
    You can buy clear complexion pills from BOOTS :)





    And you can moisturise twice a day.

  • How does the sun cause skin cancer?

    I know that the sun causes skin cancer, but exactly how does it do it? What is the process of the sun causing the cancer to form or develop? I was just curious. Thanks!How does the sun cause skin cancer?
    The only fatal type of skin cancer is malignant melanoma. It almost always develops on unexposed areas of the body and occurs most often in people who have had very little exposure to the sun and its protective Vitamin D. The sun can cause carcinoma but that can usually be safely removed. The conclusion is that there are far more benefits to moderate sun exposure than risks.How does the sun cause skin cancer?
    The high-frequency UV radiation from the Sun can cause a mutation in the DNA of one or more skin cells, which makes them become malignant and undergo mitosis (cellular division) much more rapidly than regular cells around it.
    UV rays, they have high energy hence they cause DNA mutations and therefore Cancer

    How do you exfolite your skin?

    How do most of you do it? Do you just apply the exfolite pad to your skin and rub it in circles for several minutes or do you use the pad? Which is the most effective way?How do you exfolite your skin?
    I use different cream exfoliants. They're not very expensive, depending on what you want. You can get harsh ones, or easy ones for sensitive skin. I just apply it with my fingers and rub in a circular motion. Also, a really great way to scrub away dead skin is in the shower with a shower puff all over.


    Hope this helps!!


    xxHow do you exfolite your skin?
    Well different products have different techniques and ways of doing it. I can tell you how to use the Artistry microdermbrasion system on your face because thats the one i've been using for the past 3 years.





    There鈥檚 a reason microdermabrasion treatments originated in the dermatologist鈥檚 office. The jagged aluminum crystals it requires can cause microscopic tears in tender skin, if improperly applied. Artistry skin care believes in powerful but gentle beauty. That鈥檚 why the Artistry Microdermabrasion System was developed. This at-home alternative provides professional-grade results and glowing skin. The Microdermabrasion System consists of Artistry Polishing Scrub, MicroExfoliation Cloth, and Skin Refinishing Lotion.





    The Artistry Microdermabrasion System works as such.


    It comes in a 3 step process.


    1. Put the Polishing Scrub on the MicroExfoliation Cloth, and scrub gently on your facial skin. This will allow the cloth to pick up the dirt, excess makeup, and dead skin cells as you scrub.


    2. Rinse off all the Polishing scrub off your face and pat dry with a towel.


    3. Finish off by putting a Lifting Skin refinishing Lotion. This will not only give nutrients to your facial skin but also cause a lift in your skin cells, so that it will give you a nice smooth and unwrinkly skinned look.





    As for other products, most of them don't even work that well. The dead skin cells arn't taken away and all those other brands just give you a sensation that your skin is clear but all it did was clean the surface of your skin and not the dirt in the pores of your skin.





    What i tell you is through knowledge and experience. I was introduced to this product and i loved the line so i haven't stopped using it. I usually order all my products online through this store called Over and Beyond.





    As for when to exfoliate, i usually do once every two weeks for winter months, cause its so dry, and once a week during the summer months





    But yup i hope this helps!
    Twice a week I use an aspirin mask.





    Take three non-coated aspirins and on a small plate sprinkle a little bit of water onto them to make them start dissolving. Add two squirts of honey and mix. Apply this on your face and leave it for 10 minutes. Wash off with warm water. Take this time to GENTLY scrub your face.





    Done!


    Its really nice and makes your skin look really healthy. Not to mention cheaper than scrubbing pads.





    Good luck!
    The simple way? I use St. Ives- basically just pick the scrub that fits you best. It's very affordable as well. Good luck!

    All the people who said excersize will get rid of the loose skin are either liars or didnt gain more than the reccomended amount of weight. If you gained more than the reccomended amount of weight it will take a tummy tuck to get rid of it. I gained more than 40 lbs and I am only 140 post pregnancy and im sure it would require some surgery for me.
    Regular, light sessions of exercise. I'd recommend running or swimming :)
    u will always have some loose skin but by 7 mths it should have tightend up allot to the day right after

    a tummy tuck... unfortunately that's the only way

    How do you cook red skin potatoes?

    Any way you want!


    Because the skin is so thin, many people leave it on (they're more nutritious that way). They also retain a firmer texture after cooking, which is best when making potato salad or roasting with other veggies.How do you cook red skin potatoes?
    You can oven roast them on 350 until fork tender.


    I always toss mine in Olive oil and parsley.How do you cook red skin potatoes?
    An easy way is to boil them (cover with cold water and boil uncovered) until soft but not too mushy, then drain, halve, and season with butter, salt pepper, and anything else you like on them.
    I always line a pan with aluminum foil--with excess to close around the top of the potatoes. Wash the potatoes and cut them into bite size chunks and put them into the foil. Sprinkle them with seasoning salt and put pats of butter all over the top of the pile of potatoes. Close the foil around the top of the potatoes and bake in the oven at 375 for an hour. For quicker cooking, bake the potatoes in the microwave first for 5 minutes, then bake in the oven and cut the time in half.





    This is a great recipe--everyone loves it and it's so simple!
    Like you would any potato.I love to make potato salad with mine.They can be cut in half and put next to your chicken as it bakes.They are good.
    Boil red potatoes and bake brown potatoes.
    Boil em for 15 minutes and mash em with milk, butter or sour cream.


    OR


    Quarter them, toss them in olive oil, garlic and seasoning and bake em for 30 minutes on 350.


    OR


    Slice em and sautee them in a skillet with olive oil, red wine and shallots.
    I don't.
    I first cut the potatoes in quarters. Then I boil the potatoes. After that, I put the temperature on 350 and preheat the oven. Then when the potatoes are hard, but almost done (about 7-13 minutes away from being done) I put them on a cookie sheet with 3/4 stick of butter. Then I put Montreal Steak Seasoning over the top and cook. Then wa-lah. Delicious!
    EAT THEM HOWEVER YOU WANT!





    Even though it has a red skin on it , it doesn't change the way you can cook it. You can still make them into mashed or what ever you want. The extra value is that you can do more things with he skin on.

    Boil the Red Skin Potatoes until they are almost done. Remove the potatoes from the water and allow them to cool. Once they have cooled, cut them into wedges and Salt and Pepper them to taste.

    Red Skin Potato and Roasted Asparagus Salad





    3 lbs. red skin potatoes, washed well, and left whole


    water


    1 lb. asparagus, tough ends trimmed


    olive oil


    sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste


    crushed red pepper flakes, to taste


    1/4 cup red wine vinegar


    1/4 cup Asparagus and Herb Pesto


    2 T. water


    2 T. olive oil


    1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced


    1/4 cup snipped chives


    2 T. freshly chopped dill








    Begin by placing the whole red skin potatoes in a large pot, cover them with water, and cook them over medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until easily pierced with a knife. Remove the pot from the heat, drain the water, and allow the potatoes to cool. Place the potatoes in the refrigerator and chill them for several hours or overnight. Slice the asparagus spears diagonally into 1-inch pieces and place them on a non-stick cookie sheet. Drizzle the asparagus with a little olive oil and season to taste with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Roast the asparagus in a 450 degree oven for 8-10 minutes or until crisp tender. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and set aside to cool.





    Cut the chilled red skin potatoes into 1-inch pieces and place them in a large bowl. In a small bowl, place the red wine vinegar, Asparagus and Herb Pesto, water, and olive oil, and stir well to combine. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss gently to thoroughly coat the potatoes. Add the roasted asparagus, along with the remaining ingredients, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss gently to combine. Allow the flavors to blend for 15 minutes or more before serving.





    Serves 6











    USE YOUR SEARCH ENGINE AND PUT IN RED SKIN POTATOES, THERE ARE MANY IDEAS OOUT THERE!
    One of my favorite ways is to just clean them - leave the skin on, and then cut them in half. Melt some butter in a saute pan, then toss in some chopped garlic. (skip that step if you don't like garlic!). Throw in your potatoes, add some salt %26amp; pepper %26amp; saute on med-high heat for about 10 minutes, then turn heat to low %26amp; cover. Cook for another 20 minutes. Take pan of taters %26amp; pop into a 425 F oven for another 10-15 min's until edges are nicely browned. Take out, toss with freshly chopped parsley and serve!


    They are so yummy.

    If you groom a dog does the actions produce oils on the skin?

    My dog loves being brushed - you only have to show her the brush and she's there straight away. She's short coated but has quite a thick coat and I brush her regularly, but in spring and autumn I make sure I brush her daily to help her get rid of her winter and summer coat. When I brush her daily her fur is much softer and I wondered if oils were produced through her skin which are brushed onto the fur to make it softer?If you groom a dog does the actions produce oils on the skin?
    You stimulate the blood supply which in turn stimulates the supply of natural oils. Regular brushing is far better than bathing which destroys the natural balance of oils etc. in the hair.If you groom a dog does the actions produce oils on the skin?
    GROOMING SHOULD BE PART OF A DOGS DAILY ROUTINE YOUR ON THE RIGHT TRACK KEEP IT UP . GROOMING IS A SOCIAL EXPERIENCE BETWEEN DOG AND HANDLER IT NOT ONLY FEELS GOOD IT BENEFITS THEM AS YOU HAVE FOUND OUT BY FEELING THE FUR BEING SOFTER. GROOMING THE COAT THE OPPOSITE WAY CLEANS ANY DEBRI OUT LOOSE HAIR OUT GIVES US A CHANCE TO CHECK SKIN FOR ANY HEALTH PROBLEMS AND AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH HAIR IS A FOLICLE GROOMING STOPS IT FROM GETTING BLOCKED AND ALLOWS OIL TO MERGE WITH DOGS COAT MAKING IT NOT ONLY SHINE BUT ITS THE DOGS NATURAL WATER REPELLANT FINALLY ITS A SENT MARKER HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A DOG BRUSH BY SOMEONE OR SOMETHING WELL IT LEAVES A SCENT ON THAT THING TO SAY THIS IS MY TERRATORY OR MY OWNER, GROOMING DAILY LESSENS CHANCES OF ANY HEALTH PROBLEMS FORMING IN THAT DEPARTMENT, HEARS AN INSTANCE IF YOUR DOG HAS EVER SWAM IN THE SEA WHEN DRY HIS COAT IS NOT AS SHINY AS IT WAS THE SALT WATER WASHES OUT THE NATURAL OILS OF COURSE IT COMES BACK AFTER A FEW DAYS OF GROOMING OR DOG BEING IN THE RAIN OR SWIMMING IN A FRESH WATER RIVER.
    Yes, it stimulates the oils and is very good for the coat. That's why a brushed, groomed dog looks so much shinier that an unkempt dog. Good For you!
    When you brush you remove debris and dead hair leaving the coat healthier. Also you do distribute the oils a bit with the brushing action.
    Yes it stimulates the oils, removes the dander ( dead skin cells) and old ,loose hair, and surface dirt and helps you to bond with the dogs
    Not really, I've studied dogs. They lick themselves with the oils they bring up.
    i have noticed that in my pup too but from what i have read, i dont think that it does produce oils when brushed

    Are black women who use skin lightening products turning their back on their colour?

    One of my friends is black and has started using skin lightening cream to make her skin brighter. As a mixed race women I have never really considered using the products myself but my friend says that a lot of black women get stick for using them as other black women feel very strongly that black women should embrace their colour and its beauty, whatever shade it is. I think this is a really interesting issue and was just wondering why some black women want to lighten their skin and why other black women are offended by this.Are black women who use skin lightening products turning their back on their colour?
    To each his/her own. To me it is no different than a ';white'; person tanning or someone styling or coloring there hair. If she feels she would look better, then more power to her.Are black women who use skin lightening products turning their back on their colour?
    As a White (w/ dark olive skin), it is FAR different than a White person tanning. I also think that some of the most beautiful women are the one's with the pure ebony skin tone. I am definitely against skin lightening creams and they only prove the fact that the slave mentality is alive n kickin. Report Abuse

    It's not only black women who do this. Arab, Asian, and Hispanic women do this too. It comes from the idea that lighter skin is prettier, more attractive, and more feminine. Having dark skin is portrayed as being ugly, scary, and very unattractive. Just looking at how the media portrayed Black women should be self explanatory. Dark skin Black women are stereotyped as aggressive and rude with a lot of attitude. While lighter skin women are seen as beautiful, polite, and friendly.
    I think both tanning and lightening are not ok. But not because you are turning back on a group of people. It's because they aren't happy with the way they are. They should feel pretty the way they are. I think other black women are offended because it sends them the message that the women who lighten must not think they are pretty either. I understand wanting to fix unevenness in color, but I think it's sad when someone wants to change their color.
    Only if white women are turning on theirs when they tan and fake bake to become oompa loompas.





    Darker skinned black women do not get paid as well as other women, they aren't featured on tv or magazines as often, and are basically ignored on hottest 100 lists.





    Ignoring skin color just think about black celebrities, how many can you name where both of their parents are black? I can only think of 5.
    You have to blame the media and its sad that are own people make stupid comments but it all the result of slavery the slave owners taught the brown and the dark were thought to hate the light skin and the light skin were taught to hate the brown and the dark the light skin were taught that they were better and it is a problem today and if she look in the magazines there more dark skin models just look in vogue allure tell your friend to be proud of color and learn to love her self and that black is beautiful.
    i dont think that black women are turning their back on their color


    i mean white people always try to darken their color so whats the difference if a black woman wanted to lighten hers??

    Don's touch your skin. It may be you need to try some better products.





    I use SPF everyday and it's in my day moisturizer. I love the Olay products. The Olay Regenerist Moisturizers for day and night may be expensive, but I have seen improvement in my skin since using them.





    Do you use a cleanser that exfoliates? If not this is a good idea. Try Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub. I like this one although there are better ones.





    A good toner to use is Dickinson's Witch Hazel.





    These products have made my skin look and feel better. I hope this helps you out! Good Luck!





    PS. to help tighten your pores you may want to get a professional microdremabrasion done or buy one of the kits. Using a facial mask once a week also helps with the pores. Try Queen helene Mint Julep mask or St. Ives mineral Clay Firming Mask.

  • How can I make my skin pale again?

    Over the summer, I got a really bad tan. I now regret it, as it is really doesn't suit me in the slightest. Is there anything to make skin go whiter? And remedies or anything I can do?How can I make my skin pale again?
    Just stay out of the sun, tans only last like a few weeks if you keep out of the sun the whole time. Make sure you wear a high SPF sunscreen if you are going to be outside for any extended period of time. Other than that, theres not much you can do.How can I make my skin pale again?
    Mix equal parts of turmeric, olive oil and chickpea flour to make a paste. Apply like a mask and allow to set for 15 minutes. These ingredients will help to make your skin more pale, and aren't quite as harsh on your sensitive skin so they can be used daily if desired.
    I would have to say just stay out of the sun as much as you can and eventually the tan will fade and your natural color will come back. It just takes time.
    Block off your window with a blanket and stay in the dark as much as possible. :)
    take showers often! it will help to fasten te process!

    And one of the reasons was because you don't get any sunlight ';down there'; %26amp; thats why its dark (thats why pubes are thick....ew).





    They recommened that if you wax/shave all of it off down there to wait a day and get some ';tanning lotion'; in a bottle and apply it. But to be very careful.

    Has anyone ever had a skin reaction to Olay products?

    I've been using Olay's Hydrate %26amp; Cleanse micro-bead cleansing serum for a few weeks,but the last two days my face turned beet red and hot afterward. Has this happpened to you? According to their website,their products are rigorously tested and do NOT cause reactions. Hmm.Has anyone ever had a skin reaction to Olay products?
    No I have never had a reaction like that happened to me before. Maybe its just that your skin might be burnt from the wind from the past few days. Usually I put lotion on if right after or before I go outside if I used a cleanser because it takes away your natural oil and your skin is at the mercy of the winds. Or either you just used to too much and your skin cant handle so much washing at once. You can try to allow your face to heal and if you do use it again use it every other day to prevent that from happening again. Hope you feel better.Has anyone ever had a skin reaction to Olay products?
    Yes
    no i have never had a reaction but i think on the back of the bottle if it says 'hypoallergenic' then THAT means that u wont have a reaction. u should check and c if it says it

It will keep your skin from flaking or itching, but won't clog your pores. A toner will make your pores appear smaller. Stick to a routine to get the best skin! Good luck.

    this is a very difficult process which i know little abot never the less i will try to help. First you must make sure you live in an area where you can acquire the hides also you should research how to skin whatever you kill as it is a dificult process. I think before you work on the preservation of the hide you should give more thought to the process necessary to acquire those hides. Also why would the character in my side of the mountain need to tan hides?

    LEAVE IT ON THE SNAKE!!!!! HA! HA!
    the best way is to first make sure you have gently scraped off all tissue from he skin. then tack it to a board and salt it down to remove the moisture. after a couple of days, brush off all the salt and brush on ethelene glycol ; the primary ingredient in anti-freeze. leave this to dry for several days. repeat at least three times until the skin is tanned. this method will produce a soft pliable skin that does not loose it's color.
    The very best way to preserve rattlesnake skin is to leave it on the rattler. Forget the hatband.

    Use eyeshadow brush,sweep a light color over your entire lid to create a smooth base for layers of color next apply a medium to dark color to the crease, starting at the outer corner and working inward.Finish by buffing the color back in an outward direction.

    I think silver would look good with your skin type
    try metallic colors
    you have to use a concealer.
    Use colors like gold, and light silver. Dont make it too heavy.
    If i were you, i would go with a silver grey and continue on with a smoky white. or i would use a shimmery gold.
    I would go to the mall...bobi brown or mac counter and let them do it. Or what I used to do was get some gray eye-liner and then use a Que-tip a smudge it to your liking. It is a lot easier than trying to keep you eyeshadow controlled
    The make-up artists at Mac can do a great job of the ';smoky eye'; look and tell you what products/colors you need to achieve that look.
    Check out the smoky eye makeup steps here: http://www.beauty-tricks.com/beautyforum鈥?/a>
    Use a metallic gold (dont put too much on though) over almost your whole eyelid, but dont go up all the way to your eyebrows. Then use a smoky-blue color close to your lash line and on the crease. Some eyeliner and mascara and your set!

    Is it safer to put perfumes on my clothes instead of my skin?

    I've been reading a lot on the internet about the hazards associated with fragrances. Id hate to throw away all of my perfume but do you think I should do it?Is it safer to put perfumes on my clothes instead of my skin?
    no, but it depends on how old it is, and if it ';is'; perfume or cologne however, I have one Dr. who requests patients do not wear fragrance to her office; she also treats allergies. Fragrance is made with essence and pure alcohol, the more expensive, ( perfume) the less pure alcohol (preservative) so it can go rancid. cologne, toilet water (dumb name huh?) body mist will have more alcohol and some will have water also. Oils are popular now, they too can go rancid with age.. After shower you could spray your cologne in air and walk through , more subtle that way, however, the idea is to put on your pulse points, wrist, neck etc.;but go lightly. no, I wouldn't put on clothes,creates other problems. Happy you lived :-) EvieIs it safer to put perfumes on my clothes instead of my skin?
    I think instead of spraying perfume directly on skin spray it in the air and walk through that was it wont harm you or anything. And, i dont think it will do anything I spray on perfume ALL the time and if you want it to be like your ';smell'; spray it everywhere in your house and room and clothes I do that and people tell me i always smell like that perfume!
    no, i guess it depends on the fragrance, but some of them might make rashes or something. definately get rid of it if a problem arises, but keep it if theres nothing wrong. it only happens to some people, with some fragrences

    What can I use to get the bruise appearance out of the skin?

    It's swollen and turning yellow. It's less then 24 hours old and I need to make it go away real fast.





    Please helpWhat can I use to get the bruise appearance out of the skin?
    Yellow is one of the last colors a bruise turns, so it should be close to going away on its own.


    To speed it up: since it's less than 48 hours old, ice may help limit the severity of the bruise and will decrease the swelling. Also, arnica creams (can be found at your pharmacy) are supposed to make bruises heal faster. Avoid putting heat on the bruise for 48 hours as that can make it worse. Take an anti-inflammatory as well.

    Is it unsafe to use moisturizers with self tanners on your own skin if you are breastfeeding?

    I recently looked at tooth whitening strips and the packaging warned against using while pregnant or breastfeeding. I recently considered buying a moisturizer with self tanners but there was no information regarding safety of the product. Logically, I thought if it's unsafe to put whitening agents on your teeth, it might be unsafe to put anything unnatural on your skin.





    I didn't purchase the product, but would consider it if it's safe.


    I am awaiting a response from the manufacturer, but if they want to sell a product, they would choose studies in their favor. What are your thoughts?


    Thanks.Is it unsafe to use moisturizers with self tanners on your own skin if you are breastfeeding?
    You CAN use tooth whiteners. It's just that almost every product in exhistance says ';don't use while PG or BF'; to cover their butts.





    According to my references, teeth whiteners are carbamide peroxide, which is just a stabilized formulation of hydrogen peroxide. When it touches tissue, it releases pure hydrogen peroxide almost immediately. Its transfer to the plasma is minimal, if at all. According to Thomas Hale, PhD (in Medications and Mothers' Milk), ';it would be all but impossible for any to reach breastmilk except under extreme overdose.'; Even if absorbed, it would be metabolized in seconds.





    http://www.kellymom.com/health/lifestyle鈥?/a>





    As for tanning -





    Because these are topically applied, very little would absorb through the skin into the bloodstream and therefore into your milk. They should not be a problem for the breastfeeding mom and baby. Do be careful about applying it on the breast - make sure baby doesn't get any in his mouth.





    The spray tanning booths (also called UV-free tanning, airbrush tanning, spray on tanning, etc.) come under the category of self-tanning products. To prevent baby ingesting the self-tanning lotion, wash the self-tanning product from your breasts before nursing.





    http://parenting.ivillage.com/newborn/nb鈥?/a>Is it unsafe to use moisturizers with self tanners on your own skin if you are breastfeeding?
    I'm sure that it's safe. I used the moisturizers with the self-tanners while I was pregnant and breastfeeding my youngest daughter. I nursed her for over a year, and as far as I can tell, there has been no effect or difference between her and my other children. I would just be sure to not apply the moisturizers to your nipples and to make sure your skin is dry before you come into contact with your baby. Maybe apply the self-tanners at night after baby has gone to bed. You really can't worry about every little thing, in a couple years, your baby will be picking things up off the ground and eating them and worse! If you're worried, ask your doctor or pediatrician. Try and relax.
    Self-tanning lotions are made of DHA, DHA is supposed to be good for you right? Obviously try wash your breast before feeding.





    Also depending on what is in the tooth whitening product those are safe too. So long as they contain ';carbamide peroxide'; which is just a kind of hydrogen peroxide which is perfectly safe... unless you drink about a litre of 20% solution, which would make you sick, not the baby.





    Manufacturers are ALWAYS going to tell you it isn't safe during pregnancy and lactation because they do not want to be liable if something happens (even something unrelated, civil cases do not have a hight burden of proof and juries can be easy to fool)





    So no, most manufacturers are not going to show studies that show their product is safe during pregnancy and lactation. They will only say it is safe for a healthy individual.





    ';Sunscreen, Self-tanning products





    Because these are topically applied, very little would absorb through the skin into the bloodstream and therefore into your milk. They should not be a problem for the breastfeeding mom and baby. Do be careful about applying it on the breast - make sure baby doesn't get any in his mouth.





    The spray tanning booths (also called UV-free tanning, airbrush tanning, spray on tanning, etc.) come under the category of self-tanning products. To prevent baby ingesting the self-tanning lotion, wash the self-tanning product from your breasts before nursing. ';

    Is it safe to use self-tanning creams during breastfeeding? I hate to ruin my skin in the sun so I wondered if these sunless tanning products are ok to use.




















    Self-tanning preparations are increasing in popularity. They're a great way for you to get a tanned look, without the risks of overexposure to the sun.





    The active ingredient in self-tanning products is dihydroxyacetone (DHA). It is derived from sugar cane. This reacts with the amino acids in the upper layers of the skin to produce a tan. No dyes are used, and this is considered to be a safe process.





    In general, there is some absorption from any product used on the skin. Only use if your skin is not damaged. There is no evidence that use of skin care products has any negative effect on your nursing baby. When applying to the breast, avoid using around your areola and nipple. Allow to dry thoroughly (about one hour) before breastfeeding.





    Remember that your skin will still need to be protected from the sun. Be sure to use sunscreen when you'll be spending time outdoors. Best wishes!

    I want to know any home remedies or recipes I can use to make my skin glow and look super ultra clear, any suggestions or ideas you have used and worked?How do I get glowing skin asap?
    You can do an at home facial treatment:


    1. cleanse your face with some cleanser


    2. steam your face with steam (fill your sink with very hot water put a towel over your head and get your face about an inch close to the water) this will open up your pores.


    3. next do a face mask, leave on per instructions.


    4. next use a dap of sugar scrub over your face and scrub lightly. wash off with warm water


    5. apply toner to your face


    6. lastly apply a non greasy mostirizer over your face.











    Here are some homemade mask recipes :


    Ingredients:


    1 tbsp natural yogurt, room temperature (not lowfat or non-fat)


    1 tsp runny honey (microwave for a few minutes to soften hardened honey)


    Preparation:


    Combine mixture, then apply to face.


    Let sit for 15 minutes.


    Wash face with steaming washcloth.


    For dry skin, use an extra tsp of honey.


    Oily skin? Add a few drops of fresh lime juice.











    Honey Facial Mask


    Rinse your face with warm water to open up the pores. Apply honey and leave for half an hour. Rinse with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores. Rinse with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores.





    Banana Mask for wrinkles


    Mash 1/4 banana until very creamy and apply on face and leave for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores.





    Avocado Facial Mask


    Mash the meat of the avocado into a creamy texture. Apply it thoroughly on face and leave for 15 - 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores.





    Here are some homemade scrubs :





    Honey Sugar Scrub


    If you have ever used a body sugar scrub, you know how amazing they are. Work the same magic on your face!





    1 tsp. of honey


    1/2 tsp. of sugar (either cane or brown 鈥?both work well)





    Blend in bowl. Apply.


    Rinse very thoroughly, as this recipe can be slightly sticky.








    Pumpkin, Sugar, and Spice Scrub


    1/2 cup cooked or canned pumpkin, pureed


    1/2 cup brown sugar


    1/4 tsp ground cinnamon





    Blend in a bowl. Apply mixture to face (and body, if you really want to indulge yourself).





    Hope this helps








    How do I get glowing skin asap?
    exfoliate!


    your skin tends to look dull bcoz of the dead skin cells.


    usually after i scrub my face, it looks lighter and clean =) now i always scrub every 2 days (well the scrub im using neutrogena deep clean gentle scrub can be used daily but im to scared it might stretch my pores if i use it 2 often)
    hi,


    Squeeze lime into a bowl. Add a glass of boiled whole milk and a teaspoon of glycerin to it. Stir well and let it stay for half an hour. Apply this mixture on the face, hands and feet before going to bed at night. This treatment every night will help you to look young and beautiful. It will also help cure pimples
    wash your face am/pm. Moisturize am/pm. Exfoliate 2 times a week. Use a mask after you exfoliate. Drink plenty of H2O!





    Have you ever had a facial? They can recommend a great product line for you and your skin type. Professional line will give you much better results than store line products.
    I recomend Avon's Hydra-radiance intensive nutrient Night serum. its only $13 and it works great. Check it out online at www.youravon.com/tbunner product # 599812
    brown sugar + olivie oil works really well to remove dead skin cells, plus the olive oil is hydrating for your skin!
    Oatmeal mixed with a little water works well as an exfoliant
    Drink PLENTY of water. Hydration is key to a good complexion.
    Tea tree oil works wonders. Add a spoonful to water and wash day and night
    drink TONS of water at least 8 glasses a day :]

    How do I bleach my skin so that I can be white like Michael Jackson?

    I hear so many people say Michael Jackson bleached his skin and that is how he became so light skinned. What bleach product would he have used if he did bleach himself? And wouldn't regular beach burn his skin? I don't think there is any such product that can bleach a persons skin so light like Michael Jackson. There has to be some other method.How do I bleach my skin so that I can be white like Michael Jackson?
    Michael Jackson suffered from vitiligo, which causes the skin to become white in patches - one of my best friends has it - so he wore makeup to even it out so that his visible skin was fully white. you can buy bleaching creams - no, you don't bleach yourself with straight bleach, that's just stupid - although they're not recommended for just anybody without a medical reason.How do I bleach my skin so that I can be white like Michael Jackson?
    he had plastic surgery and so did i, but im cree Report Abuse

    Michal Jackson had a real disease





    Jackson was black from the belly and down





    (stolen from wikipedia)


    Jackson was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus; the vitiligo partially lightened his skin, and the lupus was in remission; both illnesses made him sensitive to sunlight. The treatments he used for his condition further lightened his skin tone
    MIchael Jackson did NOT bleach or purposely try to change the color of his skin.


    He had a rare skin disorder called Vitiligo in which you loose all pigmentation in the skin where u dont only turn light but white like a sheet of paper.


    He did use products to smooth out his skin though because the disease results in patches not just pure white one day randomly





    And also you should be proud of who you are and not try to change yourself. but im not trying to tell you what to do





    (:
    Michael had a skin disease sweetie. It's called vitiligo. Very rare. But if you just want to bleach your skin, they have products. Go to Walmart and look down their ethnics aisle I think. If it's not down that aisle, it's in the area where all their lotions, deoderants, toothbrushes, etc. are. You'll have to keep using it for awhile before you see improvement. Also, try a dermatologist and see what they say. Keep your face out of the sun also and when you do go out into the sun use a type of sunblock or make up foundation with spf 15 or spf 30 in it. Hope that helps!
    Michael Jackson was medically diagnosed with Vitiligo and Lupus. The Vitiligo partially lightened his skin and both illnesses made him sensitive to sunlight. He used makeup to cover the blotched skin caused by both.
    it is another method ,and you can have same look if you got micheal jackson money.
    Michael Jackson had a real disease. He didn't bleach his skin.

    claims the same thing.





    Both articles offer advice on how to use the tea to treat acne, it seams that both topically and by ingesting the tea help treat this skin condition.





    lastly here is a


    LINK


    http://www.acne.org/green-tea-reviews/20鈥?/a>


    from Acne.org with user reviews of green tea to treat acne. And the reviews are quite promising.





    All my sources are listed below, best of luck.Does Green Tea clear you skin and get rid of pimples?
    I don't think green tea is the miracle cure you are looking for. It is high in antioxidants/vitamins, but that does not always get rid of pimples. You may want to get a wash and some cream from Walmart or the drug store-- ones that have benzoyl peroxide (kills bacteria and slows oil production) and salicylic acid (helps dead skin come off, preventing clogs). Neutrogena's Acne grapefruit acne wash has the sal. acid, and Clearasil's acne cream %26amp; %26amp; Panoxyl's soap has the benzoyl peroxide. These work much better, especially if you rotate using them-- dermatologists often prescribe versions of these for acne patients.
    I looked up products that contained ';green tea'; at the sites in the source code below. No, they don't ';clear'; your skin. They reduce redness, and can ease inflammation. They do not treat moderate acne. I have tried with no avail for years. Go with OTC peroxide treatments like Clearisil. They heal the inflammation, knock down the oil produced by your body, and prevent future breakouts. That and make sure you wash your face before bed every night.
    yes because it purifies your body.

    How would u remove a skin tag from your penis manually?

    ya im 14 and have 2 skin tags from circumcision for some reasson. its really lame and i would like them off asap so can anyone help?How would u remove a skin tag from your penis manually?
    manually? as in yourself? you really should have a doctor do it, if for no other reason that you can get something for the pain, while people have done stuff like that themselves it would hurt a bit, just get a doctor to do it, many general doctors could use a little local numbing shot/cream and do it themselvesHow would u remove a skin tag from your penis manually?
    The best way to deal with the skin tags is to go to your doctor. There is not really anyway you can manually remove them without causing yourself pain and bleeding which would immediately put you in a state of panic. The procedure would be rather simple, but it must be done by a doctor.
    Dude!!! Get a Dr to do it. If you slip there is your willy gone!


    If the Dr slips and lops if off you can sue, get compensation, get a min of $100000 and go and get a new and better dick!!! Easy as pie!...


    And a News Report that would make ';Head'; Lines all around the world!!!
    You can't remove them manually.





    I think a doctor can surgically remove them, but do you really want to put your penis under the knife again? Such are the complications of circumcision. Sorry.
    u can use clear nail polish. just brush it in the tag, let it dry, then pull off the tag. btw it is painless:)
    I have NO clue what you are referring to.
    There's no way in hell you should try to self-treat this. go to a dermatologist so you don't mess something up really bad.
    your a d ick a ss
    um that sucks but my dad gets him on his back and he cuts them off but it's painful and they bleed

    How can you make your skin smooth?

    I know facial helps but it costs a lot. What product is good?How can you make your skin smooth?
    Sometimes it takes more than a good product. Good skin care starts with good body care. Getting rest and eating vegetables and fruits make your skin healthier.





    However, Olay makes really good serums and moisturizers. I use daily regenerating serum which makes your skin feels flawless and very smooth. It is about $17 but it works really well for me. Another thing, if you wear makeup, be sure to cleanse your face daily and never sleep with make-up on. If you wear mascara, try using clear mascara for day wear because it is not as hard on your skin as black or brown. Hope that helps!How can you make your skin smooth?
    Thank you. I hope my tips work for you. There are also other great products for your entire body but everything is trial and error. Find some things that cater to your skin type like normal, dry, or oily. Report Abuse

    Bath and Body works makes good products however sometimes the fragrances can irritate the skin as well as pumice products like Apricot Scrub. Keep trying and good luck! Report Abuse

    microexfoliating beads in cleaning mask can help followed by moisturizing skin lotion. The key to do this is to be regular, get into a routine with your skin care. What goes in your body is almost more iomportant than what you use to clean it, really.





    Drink lots of fluids (water, not soft-drinks, etc), eats lots of veggies and fruit, protein. Reduce or eliminate sugars and refined flours in sodas and sweets such as cake, etc.





    Wear a sun blocker (some moisturizers contain this) after your skin care regimen to keep the sun from accumulative damage to your skin.





    Again, drinks lots of water.
    your facial skin? Clean and clear is good, but kinda oily, Neutragina is pretty good, I suggest a exfoliant, the best that I have used is....Sugar! No joke. Just rinse your face and put the sugar on you fingers and rub like you would lotion. Rinse. You could use salt, but sugar is sweeter!
    moisturizer
    Take a bath everyday and use that Apricot Scrub from St. Ives. After taking a bath and drying immediatly put some type of moisturizer. Your skin must still be damp from the bath when using the lotion.
    this remady only takes two sec to make and it costs nothing at all well all you have to do is take tabul salt and some warm not hot warm water and mix it together dont wory if it all dosint desolve then pour the salted water on a washcloth and rub it on (just affter you get out of the shower) your arms legs and if you are doing you face there to but try not to get it in the eeys basakly you can do it any where on you body but not near your pubic areas. then wash offf when done. hope it works for you it works wonders on my skin the salt miet be a litel ruff at ferst but once you get use to it, it wont fell ruff at all.

    How can you tell when you are really getting under a liberals skin?

    One of the best ways I've found is when you get a spelling lesson and a grade on your grammar. Are there other indications?





    So far the old wisdom that says liberals have book learnin and conservatives have commonsense holds true.How can you tell when you are really getting under a liberals skin?
    Is it really one way or the other? Spoken like a true conservative...it's either black or white.How can you tell when you are really getting under a liberals skin?
    No one anywhere, any time has ever heard or said that until you made it up just now.





    Probably the best way to get under a liberals' skin is to tell stupid lies, believe stupid lies, miss quote the Bible, NEVER voluntarily join the military fight this war you so whole heartedly support.
    I know I get under a lot of liberals skin by defending the President.


    I got under a lot of conservatives skin the same way in the 90's.
    It seems that the primary purpose of many conservatives in this section is to attack liberals and not to discuss the political issues.
    Yeah, I have to admit, there seems to be a lot of commonsense in the trailer park.

    Can spermicide condoms irriatete your skin causing stinging sensation when you pee?

    After my boyfriend and i had sex today i went home and i went pee. When i did it stung very badly, i wanted to know if this was normal. We tried a new condom with spermicide on it and i was not sure if that is what caused it. I know it is not an STD because we have never had sex with anyone else.Can spermicide condoms irriatete your skin causing stinging sensation when you pee?
    It could very well be the nonoxynol-9 (the only spermicide used on some condoms).





    YOU SHOULD NEVER USE N-9 condoms unless that is all you have and are not willing to wait.





    N-9 can cause inflammation in the mucosal linings (vaginal wall, cervix, urethra/pee hole) and actually make it easier for you to become HIV/STI infected. All lubricant manufacturers have voluntarily stopped producing N-9 lube in bottle form.





    Most condom manufacturerers (except for one, obviously the one you used) have also voluntarily stopped producing those condoms.





    The World Health Organization has spoken out about N-9 and the increased risk for HIV infection.





    In related studies, it has been shown that there is no statistical difference in pregnancy protection with an N-9 lubed condom and a regular water-based lubed condom. So, there is no reason why these condoms should be in production.





    And, while mild use may be OK for some women, it is never OK for anyone (female or male) if they are engaging in anal sex.....N-9 and the anus DO NOT MIX.





    N-9 can be used by some women (depending on their individual risks). N-9 is still used in some sponges (and other contraceptives) and should only be used in certain circumstances......talk to your doc about this








    My anti-N-9 rant aside,





    It could also simply be a urinary tract infection. If the pain/burning feeling persists for more than a day, go and see a doctor. In the meantime you can try drinking Cranberry juice.





    Hope this helpsCan spermicide condoms irriatete your skin causing stinging sensation when you pee?
    you could have a contact dermatitis to an ingredient in the spermicide. you need to switch brands so this won't happen again. read the labels %26amp; see if there is one w/o fragrance or perhaps has fewer ingredients on the label. very proud of you for using a condom. quite responsible!!
    Could be the spermicide. However, if you don't practice good sex ';hygeine'; you could be on your way to getting a bladder infection. During sex, fluids (lubricants, spermicide whatever) can get up into your urethera. If there is any bacteria that goes with it, you could develop a bladder infection. The best way to avoid this is to





    1. Drink plenty of fluids


    2. Pee before sex


    3. Pee after sex








    If you do develop a bladder infection take the uristat pills, you will thank me later. Then go to whole foods, or some other health food place and buy cranberry pills. Take 4 of those every 4 hours for 3 days. Then slowly cut back.





    This will usually cure a bladder infection for me. If it doesn't go to the doctor.





    Probably more info then you needed, but I hope it helps.
    it is very possable that you are allergic or sensative to the spermacide. if it was nonoxyl-9, many women are extremely sensitive to this. another thing, was the sex ';rougher'; than ussual? if so there could have been microinjuries that could sting when you urinate.





    if it continues to sting when you urinate, it could also be a urinary tract infection--which should be examined and cultured by a doctor.

    wash your face a lot and don't put tons of make up or lotions on it, and it will get it's healthy balance back and you will have less acne.

    I have used this answer for other questions that match yours:





    You can always tell a persons diet by what their skin looks like. Someone who eats greasy foods has greasy skin, someone who eats trash (Junk food and sweets) has skin that looks gross and pimply.





    Catch my drift?





    Someone with a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables also healthy fats like nuts, olive oil and omega-3's, will have beautiful youthful skin.

    pumas pad and soap........... Unless you use a chemical to brake it down you have to scrub it off. I used a pumas and got most of it off and then rubbed baby oil on myself. Painter told me to rub baby oil on you BEFORE painting with it and that help it not stick to you.
    Use a petroleum based hand cleaner such as GoJo. You can get it at auto parts stores and some hardware or home improvement stores.





    Bert
    Lava soap - it's awesome. You can get it at hardware and art stores.
    gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, mineral spirits.... but it will dry your skin

  • How long before normal Asian skin darkens in sun exposure?

    How long does it take for a normal Asian man or woman's skin to darken when exposed to average amount of sunlight? Is it possible for skin to darken when exposed for merely 5 minutes?How long before normal Asian skin darkens in sun exposure?
    It depends on how much of the pigment melanin you have in your skin in the first place. The darker you are at present, the longer it will take to go even darker, and that's true for everyone, Asian or otherwise.


    If you are going to expose yourself to long periods of strong sunlight, wear a good quality sunscreen.How long before normal Asian skin darkens in sun exposure?

    How can I numb my skin before a piercing ?

    Okay, So I'm going to pierce my hips myself. I've done all of my piercings myself, but I hate the pain. Don't tell me ';Don't do it yourself'; Because I already know it's not proper. I am just wondering how can I numb my skin so I won't feel it as much ?How can I numb my skin before a piercing ?
    if you hate pain, why pierce?





    numbing agents cause your skin to be more rigid and decrease blood flow.





    all you're going to get by numbing is a crooked piercing that was hard to do.How can I numb my skin before a piercing ?
    Ice, and take a Tylenol or something like that beforehand. If you're really serious about not feeling anything you can buy some numbing agents online. There's something called EMLA that is used for getting shots and other deep needle procedures. It requires a prescription but you can buy it on ebay.


    If you don't want to go that far then just brace yourself and try to concertrate on something else.


    Get a very sharp needle! Otherwise it will take a long time and hurt much more.


    Be clean, and good luck :)

    How can i improve my skin naturally or homemade?

    my skin is really oily and i hate the color, its like pastey white with red splotches most of the time and i get really bad bags under my eyes.How can i improve my skin naturally or homemade?
    Mudbathes!


    Great for the skin.How can i improve my skin naturally or homemade?
    for a natural product mix brown sugar (the pact kind) w/ milk and leave it on for 10-15 minutes, most pple say to leave it on for 1-2 minutes but i find that leaving it on for about 15 min. works better for me...this remedy will also get rid of pimples and acne too and moisturize and smooth out.
    Clean your face with rubbing alcohol daily.


    And I don't know about bags.


    Maybe you should try sleeping more? XD


    Idk. But maybe try rubbing your eyes as


    soon as you wake up ?
    Proactive
    #1 advice always: drink lots of water and get enough sleep!!! those bags under your eyes will temporarily go away with makeup, but to make them permanently disappear, get at least 7 hours of sleep every night.


    if you're really really busy, try an antiwrinkle cream from clinique especially for around the eyes.
    Open your pores with steam and then warm some honey and put it all over your face for 15 mins then wash off...and put warm tea bags on your eyes...lay in the tub with both of those and relax...it works for me...i dont know how good it would work for other people...but its really fun! LOL
