When i get zits i get very few but they are honkers. This question is tri-fold. First, any solutions for clear skin for a gal with a semi-oily face? I have blemish scrubs, astringent, and a cream cleanser and none of it seems to be working! Secondly, any secrets to getting rid of subtle acne scars? Lastly, how can i get rid of dark circles under my eyes without all the concealer? Thanks!
Clear skin!?
OK so...
ii know exactly wat your talking about!! Try Procative!! ii am so serious! The cleanser %26amp;%26amp; toner are GREAT for oiler skin. Then you get a repairing lotion!! That helps with those acne scars that you have got. THen they ALSO give you a mask!! This WORKS GREAT!!! everything comes with instructions on how many times and what not. But this mask will help make sure those stubborn huge pimple do not come on your face!!
AS for your dark circles, ii use Bare Minerals Makeup because ii have red on my face and dark cirles. This make up works great and you only have to use VERY LITTLE!! Give it a try, You will LOVE IT!!
Reply:I personally use Tea Tree Oil types because it is well-known for its drawing properties, meaning it draws the infection (the pimple) out. I also use it on my acne regularly because it reduces the redness within hours of putting it on, and it works amazingly on my pimples to keep them away. It's very safe and doesn't hurt at all.. It is 100% natural with no "fake" additives in it or anything like that... Best of all it is cheap and easy to find, such as at Walgreens (if you have one around), or at stores that sell health-foods and natural medicines. It is a very common home remedy and is very handy in medicine cabinets or First Aid Kits because it is a "cure-all" meaning it is not just for one thing in particular, it can help with many things.
I use it, and I love it. ProActiv didn't work for me, and nothing else really has either.. but this stuff has pretty much done the trick.
Goodluck :)
Reply:i had the same problem and went through a lot of products, including acne free which had worked for a while, but then suddenly stopped giving a positive affect. Proactive never worked for me, but now im using this all natural pill called Acnezine. I am telling you it wont harm you the least bit. My parents are natural, organic freaks, and wouldn't let me get this if it wasn't safe for my body. Within five days my pimply skin cleared up by taking one a day and using a face lotion they have. It is a bit expensive, but totally worth it. Try some products like Neautragina, acne free, proactive, St ives, clearasil and if it doesn't go away, i suggest Acnezine.

What cream would you recommend for stretch marks. etc...?
Ok i have stretch marks and they arent really visible.. (from first child)... well they look more like how cellulite does.. .. well is there a cream out there that is safe to use while pregnant that will help.. Stretch marks new and old.. and also firm the skin and help get rid of cellulite?.... thanks!!
What cream would you recommend for stretch marks. etc...?
Of course every one is going to say coco butter, but I'd also try buttermilk lotions as well. Both help with stretch marks and make the skin nice and smooth. Now..I'm sorry but the only item I have for celluite (which by the way soo kicks butt at reducing it) isn't suggested for pregnant women. I do suggest though that you could give it a try after your delivery? It's called "Spa Energie Vegetable" Body definition serum. If you probably haven't guessed it's made of mostly vegetables (looks kinda like V8 juice but more orange) but obviously has other chemicals that aren't good for a child. It's up to you though. Good luck!

Reply:There are a variety of ways of getting rid of( or more likely making them less noticeable) stretch marks.
1. Surgical Methods : Dermabrasion or chemical peel can be used to address unwanted stretch marks, and there are new advances in laser surgeries. The degree of success with any treatment will be impacted by your age, your skin tone and even your diet. It's important to note that insurance coverage probably will not cover stretch mark removal because it is a cosmetic procedure (even if the stretch marks are particularly severe).
2. Lotions and Creams :There are plenty over-the-counter treatments for stretch marks. If you are a woman who is pregnant and you are concerned with stretch marks, let your physician know you want to begin preventative treatment before your stomach starts growing. Often, your physician can recommend creams. You may want to try something with aloe, butter creams, or even Mederma cream
3. Diet and Exercise : Make sure you are maintaining healthy skin! drink plenty of water. Proper water intake keeps your skin soft and less likely to develop stretch marks. Caffeine can increase your risk of stretch marks. If you're stuck on your caffeinated coffee or tea, make sure you balance the fluids. Drink just as much - or more - water as you drink coffee, tea or soda.
4. Remember, stretch marks can also result from nutritional deficiency. Be sure to consume foods that promote skin health. Zinc-rich foods such as nuts or fish . Foods high in vitamins A, C, D, such as carrots, citrus fruits and milk.
Protein-rich foods (such as eggs).
Good luck.

Boston terrier..DRY ITCHY SKIN....?
My Buffy she has really dry skin and she will chew it till she makes a naked spot on her back, I have used the creams that the vet gave me I also tried givin her bones and toys to keep her busy but ..she still chews it up. I have no more ideas on what to do, if there is a shampoo, or cream thats out there i would love to know. my vet says to watch her, ok well i cant watch her 24-7 and tellin her NO BUFFY ....doesnt work either..i get the LOOK form her and she does it anyway. I dont think you should smack the crap outta them either, so if you guys have a really good answer I would love to hear it!
Boston terrier..DRY ITCHY SKIN....?
We use this stuff called "ITCH STOP" (i get it online at the dr's foster and smith catalog), it's kinda like a shampoo, you leave it on them during bathtime for up to 10 minutes....my boxer swears by it. AND....I rinse him in tepid water---not cold, not hot, not warm--tepid, room temp water----warm water releases the "histamines" in his skin, so we dont want that! histamine=itch
Also, she might have a food allergy. Try to get a dog food that does NOT use CORN---I use Nutrisource dog food....
www.nutrisourcedogfood.com
Between the food and the itch-stop, my dog only scratches 1x a day, instead of the 100x a day, 15 min scratch-fests where he thumps so hard it sounds like someone's coming thru the front door with a battering ram...and his paws arent blood-red anymore, either, and he's not nibbling on them.
Try it.
Reply:Skin So Soft is a product from Avon that will save your dog.
I have used this over and over, It not only mositurizes but it takes away the itch. I swear on it.
Reply:Using omega fatty oils is great for animals skin and you can even find foods that have it in them.
Reply:you are in the wrong CATagory
Reply:I work for a vet and there is a food made by Science Diet that is called Z/D its a low allergen food. Your vet should also be able to give an allergy shot.

Progesterone cream?
I was on a website to order some ovulation and pregnancy tests as well as pre~seed and I saw that they also sell progesterone cream which is supposed to help with implantation. It says to start using after ovulation and stop using it 2 days before period is due. My question is this..please don't laugh...where do you put it? The description says absorbs into skin quickly. Does it go outside or inside? If you have used this before please help! Also- did it work for you? Would you recommend it? Thanks!!
Progesterone cream?
progerterone cream is rub on skin that you see blood veins like breast or lower stomach close to ovulation area.. I hope this helps and Pre~seed is good to use, im using that now and husband likes it and orgasm really good also, Try taking charge of your fertility website.. baby dust...

My skin is rejecting my tattoo. What do I do?
I got a tattoo a little over a year ago on my wrist of a star coloured in pink and black. The black ink healed fine however the pink is itchy and inflamed. The pink ink feels like brail on my skin. Slowely the pink ink is fading and it seems to be pushing itself out of my skin. I have about 7 others and none of them have ever healed like this before. Ive tried using cortozone cream and vasculine and polysporin but nothing is helping. Anyone have any ideas?
My skin is rejecting my tattoo. What do I do?
Go to a doctor and to a tattooist for advice. However, one thing I will mention is this - I had something almost exactly the same. I had a red tattoo done on my wrist and my wrist swelled up, it was weeping a clear coloured liquid a lot, it flaked and a lot of the colour was fading. I visited my doctor because I was worried a bad needle had been used. He said that there was nothing wrong except that red ink contains certain properties that can cause inflammation and can affect the blood cells most especially in areas like the wrist. I'm guessing the same might apply to you because your black ink healed just fine, and I have a black tattoo done on the other wrist.
He told me that I should wait it out and it would settle down. It did eventually, but it's kind of faded and needs to be touched up. So unfortunately - it might just be a case of the pink colour not really taking to the skin of the wrist. However - I would still visit your doctor and tattooist just in case!
Reply:Have you ever used this particular color or brand of ink before? It might be a delayed allergic reaction to the ink. Please stop putting anything other than unscented undyed lotion on your tattoo until you receive the opinion of a professional.
I would first go back to your tattoo artist and see what they have to say. If their answer doesn't satisfy you and the itching/inflamation persists, see a doctor that you know and trust (and one that doesn't hate mods!).
Reply:i have the same problem, i get itchy on certain spots of my tattoos and get bumps but i just put cream on it and it goes a while but the moment i stop putting cream on it, it starts back up again...and its the shading of black on mine not color...i would say to go see a doctor, mine said there was nothing wrong just that my skin is dry and now with a tattoo i would just need to apply lubriderm...it works for me
Reply:well first of all maybe go to the doctor to see why its rejecting it and make sure you dont have an infection or that the needle the artist used didn't have like hiv on it or something....other than that theres not much you can do...unless once it heals just colour the rest in with black since your skin doesn't seem to have a problem with the black ink..
Reply:I would definitely say go see a doctor.. especially because it's itching, thats odd. I have stars on my wrist too :) a group of them, all black though.
Reply:you are having an allergic reaction. go see you physician for treatment.
Reply:Have it erased, your skin is manifesting rejection so do act now!

Trying to get clear skin, how much water do i need to drink and what else should i do??
Ok im trying to get clear skin so im taking multivitamins, showers every day, moisturizing with salcydic acid moisturizer, applying benzoyl peroxide cream to problem spots, i got wipe pads and biore strips for blackheads, mederma on post-acne spots......two questions: how much water should i drink? i drink out of a 591mL water bottle ALSO is there anything else i should do for clear skin??
Trying to get clear skin, how much water do i need to drink and what else should i do??
Try a regimen that has no alcohol or acetate in it and a moisturizer that has no oil in it. mary Kay has a good product but it is expensive. Neutrogena also has some alcohol free and oil free products. You need to drink about 1500-2000 mL of water a day or any other beverage to keep hydrated. Cranberry juice and Apple juice are good body cleansers. They could count for some liquid in the total amount. Mary Kay also has some products to reduce or eliminate scarring from acne. It is contained in their timewise collection. (It works, especially their microderabrasion set). Microderabrasion treatments 2-3 times a week will minimize the size of your pores which prevent acne. Mederma is really good for scars, you are doing good there. Multivitamins will not help you. My hubby tried them and they did nothing. Also use the Mary Kay cleanser 2x a day.

Does anyone know what kind of skin disorder that would turn your hands including the palm of your hands black.
Literally the color black. This has ocurred on a african american male. It started about 5 months ago and got worse. His dermatalogist don't know what it is but prescripted a cream for him to apply. The first cream didn't work and seem to make it worse. Then he Rx another cream and it seems to be helping but the doctor still doesn't know what it is or what caused it. My friend is 64 years old. Some parts of his fingers and palms has very hard callouses and the skin is very hard. Parts of his hands have begun to lighten up somewhat. Can someone help. I told him it may be time to seek another doctor.
Does anyone know what kind of skin disorder that would turn your hands including the palm of your hands black.
I have no idea what this could be. Is there something he comes into contact with on a regular basis with his hands? Perhaps as a part of his job? The hard skin sounds like scleroderma but the hyperpigmentation (darkening) doesn't quite fit. Suggest to him again to see a different dermatologist and have a check up with his primary care provider to rule out disease or other disorders.

Dry skin, milia and crows feet around my eyes at 14!?
frist off im 14.i have very dry skin around my eyes .they get really puffy and blackish -purpleish(i do sleep enough).I also have rock-like pimples(milia).i have lots of fine lines.also 3 deep lines at the coner.people always said my eyes look old.
if i use any eye cream i get more milia the soft kind that look like pimples.What should do ?i told my doc about the flaky skin at the eyes but she didn't say notingand i can't go to the derm.
Dry skin, milia and crows feet around my eyes at 14!?
I get milia too sometimes and I used to get it really bad. It's really frustrating I think for people to point it out too. It's on your face, and you are a girl, you know it's there! No one needs to tell you. I use Olay Complete All Day UV Moisture Cream for Sensitive Skin. It's a thin moisturizer that won't clog your pores. I also like using a scrub a couple times a week and a mask (I use Olay Deep Cleansing Clay Mask) once a week. Do not try to force an extraction either. You could really mess up your face. It you try and it doesn't give then wait a couple weeks and try again. I hope that this works for you.
P.S. Make sure that your make-up and everything else you put on your face is oil free.

What kind of sunblock cream??
Where I live we are having spring type weather and I am out and about without a jacket.
The only parts of my skin that are exposed to the sun are my hands and face…sometimes my arms too.
I like to use sun protection and have a sun block especially for my skin which I slap on top of my moisteriser.
The problem is, I cannot find a good handcream with an SPF.
So I was thinking, could I apply my normal hand lotion (without SPF) and then on top of it rub on the SPF that I use for my face (specifically designed for the face).
Or - do you think it would be better afterwards to apply an SPF cream to my hands which is designed specifically for the body?

Sunscreen works all over the body so using the same body sunscreen you normally use will work great for your hands. I recommend getting a waterproof sunblock because your hands touch so many things. Another option is to keep sunblock packets in your bag and when you wash your hands reapply the pre-moistened towlette to hands. If you are looking for a good hand cream with sunscreen in it try Renee Rouleau's hand cream. It's very moisturizing and provides sunscreen and anti-oxidants for your hands. You can find it at www.reneerouleau.com. For sunscreen packets that can be used all over the body including the hands go to http://www.nextag.com/sunscreen-wipe/sea...
You can also just keep a travel size tube of sunscreen in your bag and use it like a moisturizer when you wash your hands.
The only parts of my skin that are exposed to the sun are my hands and face…sometimes my arms too.
I like to use sun protection and have a sun block especially for my skin which I slap on top of my moisteriser.
The problem is, I cannot find a good handcream with an SPF.
So I was thinking, could I apply my normal hand lotion (without SPF) and then on top of it rub on the SPF that I use for my face (specifically designed for the face).

Super dry skin question?
i'm going to the Himalayas for skiing this Christmas! The thing is, my (body) skin is usually dry already even in the humid weather and i'm scared that my skin wont be able to tolerate the cold. do you know any body creams or anything that will keep my skin from cracking in the super cold weather? Please share it with us if you know how to keep your skin looking good in winter, thanks!
Super dry skin question?
Vaseline. It works really well. They also have it in a "baby" version that smells like baby powder %26amp;%26amp; i personally think it keeps your skin a lot smoother because it has the effects that baby treatments do. I hope this helped %26amp;%26amp; i hope u have a safe %26amp;%26amp; fun trip.
Reply:take some AQUEOUS CREAM its great it cures most dry skin problems
Reply:Try skin cream or face cream
Reply:My brother has super dry skin as well. I believe he uses Curel and/or Lubriderm lotions. In the winter he does not shower every day, usually every other. He just washes up in the necessary areas, like armpits, privates, and face. Every time you shower you are getting rid of all of your natural oils making you even dryer. The same goes if you have dry hair, which I am sure yours isn't greasy with having such dry skin and could go a day without washing. Some people may think it is gross to not shower every day, but when you are dry like that there are no oils or sweat to make you 'dirty'.
Have fun on your trip!
Reply:First, take cooler, not cold, showers. The hot water dries your skin out faster. When you get out of the shower, towel dry, but be a little damp when you put lotion on. Use oil of olay on your face or ponds cream on your face. Make sure they say moisturizing and not just eye makeup remover. For your hands, you can buy something called Bert's Beeswax. It works awesome on your hands. Either that or try Goldbond Ultra Healing lotion. It is very thick and works really well at moisturizing.
Reply:Oooo, sounds like fun! I have dry skin also. You need to hydrate your skin from the inside out. Eat lots of fruit and veggies, watch your sodium and alcohol intake (I know you are out having fun..!) and drink lots of water.
Use a body wash that is moisturizing and that does not contain soap as soap can be drying. I use Neutrogena Illuminating facial wash on my face and Oil of Olay shea butter body wash (it's the one with the yellow lid). When you are taking a shower or bath make sure the water is not too hot, even though it might be your first inclination after coming in from the hills. Hot water is very drying on the skin so be careful, use just warm water (that goes for your face too!). Don't dry off vigorously upon getting out of the shower. Very gently pat yourself dry and put some lotion on. I use Jason's hand and body lotion that is unscented/ or Vaseline Intensive care for dry skin. Both have vitamin E which is good for the skin. Test out your lotion, you want to make sure that it is actually soaking into your skin and not just sitting on top.
Most likely if you are going to have skin cracks they will appear on hands, lips, elbows and feet so you really want to keep those areas hydrated.Sometimes before bed I'll put lotion on my hands and feet covered with a thin layer of vaseline and then wear gloves/socks.
Try not to use anything that is artificially scented as fragrances are drying. Also, there is an ingredient called "sodium laureth sulfate/sodium lauryl sulfate" and it is a synthetic ingredient that is added to soaps. It is what makes soaps foam but it also very drying on your skin so you end up with a viscious cycle of drying out your skin and then applying moisturizer to make up for it.
Reply:look heres what you need to do I do this every two weeks at night or when you wake up take a bath a hot bath with moisturizing Conditioner and baby oil use a bout 25% of the baby oil and when you get out pat your slef dry it works really good
Reply:You need a good spa type moisturizer. Stay away from the cheap drugstore brands, just like make-up they are full of oils and fillers. What happens is the cheap ones just cover up the problem with oils and grease. Get the Bee-Luscious Hydrating Creme Concentrate for Body. This moisturizer heals and moisturizes with all natural ingredients. It's never oily or greasy and your skin will feel velvety soft. You will love the way it makes your skin feel. You can only get it on-line or from a high end spa or salon. I am posting the link to their web-site so it will be easy for you to find.

Does AMBI Fade Cream really work?
I have been struggling with taking care of my skin every since the 5th grade. Although most of my acne is gone, my skin tone appears several shades darker than its natural color due to all of my leftover acne marks. I have recently went and purchased AMBI Fade Cream and have been using it for about 3 days now. I just wanted to know does it really work and about how long before you start seeing results. Also if anyone knows of any products or things I can be doing to speed up the process, feel free to tell me. Thanks!
Does AMBI Fade Cream really work?
Ambi take about 2 weeks to see results, it may take longer on darker skin. I used it for about 6 weeks and although i did see improvement i had to discontinue because i was getting light spots on my face like raw almost they were very tiny but i noticed them but it works just be patient. are u using the facial wash too?
Reply:pro active does!

Could this be skin cancer?
I have two marks on my penis head - one is somewhat circular shaped and the other one is small and isn't shaped circular. My doctor thought they were a yeast infection so he gave me yeast cream for it. None of them worked so I saw a dermatologist and he told me to use vaseline for six weeks and to come back to see what it is. He said he doesn't believe it is skin cancer because it's in two different spots, but it might be a scarring from the yeast cream or some type of allergic reaction from something..I can't figure out how I got them? Never had sex..could I Have got it from working out? Or masturbating without any lube? I don't want it to kill me or anything or I dont wanna lose my penis..any thoughts?
The vaseline btw has made the redness greately go away and when my penis is not hard I can barely even see it anymore, however when it gets hard it's more noticeable.
Could this be skin cancer?
Almost certainly not skin cancer. They could be small hemangiomas which are benign vascular lesions that can pop up at any age. If you do a search on hemangiomas you need to realize there are many types of hemangioma and some of the more benign types look like small purplish coloration of the skin. These are the least problematic of any type hemangioma and basically amount to a small purple coloration of the skin with no real significance. These spots or lesions might go away on their own in a few months, might be permanent or might go away after applying a corticosteroid cream for a few weeks. The possibility of these being hemangiomas and how best to treat them is something you need to discuss with your dermatologist next time you see him. good luck

What is best for a severe skin burn?
today i was cooking and my hand accidentally touched the 400 degree heating run, where i touched the run my skin had turned white and hurts like crazy. i have put some burn cream on it but i was wondering if there was anything more i could do
What is best for a severe skin burn?
Go to the doctor or ER. Burns are very easily infected, and for it to heal properly, a doctor may have to clean it or irrigate, remove the dead skin, or a number of other things. I've been burned in several different ways, each time to a different degree.
They will most likely give you a prescription for a burn cream called silvadene, which is the best treatment.
Aloe vera, neosporine, and several other things work, but silvadene is the best.
Beyond that, it just takes time for the skin to heal and grow back. Silvadene also helps that happen quicker, by the way. Good luck, I know it hurts...
Reply:toothpaste.

Reply:wiht a burn like that I would go to see the doctor or to an emergency care center...untill then keep it clean and cool....try putting aloevera on it and then wrapping it in freash gauze...but serously go to see someone
Reply:Ice cold water, or olve vera burn gel.
Reply:There is Lidocaine 1% cream that you can buy over the counter and it has anesthetic in it. If you can get a prescription from a doctor for the same, but stronger cream (5% I think), that would help, too.
Putting cold yoghurt on the burn will help with the stinging and burning, but only for a short period of time.
Reply:You can make a paste up with baking soda..the baking soda will take the heat out ofthe burn..try it it works well! You put the paste on the burn..ONLY if the skin is not torn...if torn you will need some type of antibiotic cream like neosporin..
Reply:what u do is you lay in the tup with vinegar for a long time believe me I've had second degree burn twice and sun poisoning once
Reply:if u still have that burning sensation keep some ice over it...burn marks don go easily..apply olive oil after ur burn gets healed.. till that burn cream is better
Reply:Put butter salt and the juice of an onion in a bowl and mix it up then put in on your hand and visit http://thecoolwebsite2005.tripod.com/ for more details on skin burns!

Are there any creams or vitamin formulas that improve th appearence of your skin on your legs?
I wish my skin was a little firmer and smoother (not so many marks and blemishes on my legs). What o I do?
Are there any creams or vitamin formulas that improve th appearence of your skin on your legs?
Try using a sea salt scrub (I love awaken by arbonne) but make your own if this is to pricey. Kosher salt, olive oil and some lemon juice.
A lufa is nice with a natural oil (not mineral oils so no baby oil products)
I also think the body wash, serum and cream in the re9 regime helps the firmness of skin and helps it get and stay very healthy -
If you do find a cream - make sure it has no mineral oil base this doesn't help skin what so ever.

Dry, bumpy skin?
Since my son was born he has had the worst dry skin, it's hard and bumpy and all over his body.. his head looks as if he has horrible cradle cap. He is 3 and I have taken him to the Dr and tried every product from Aveeno, natural lanolin oils/creams, baby lotions/oils, adult lotions, ect and nothing helps. For his head I have tried shampoos for dry scalp, oils and tried to brush it out, pick it out, ect. His Dr says the only option I have to to get a cream that costs over $400 for a 3oz. tube (that my insurance will not pay for). If I have to I'll get it, but I really can't afford that every month. I'm sure it's not comfortable to him though.

Help! I have oily/greasy skin? !!!?
Hi,
Im 13. In the morning my skin is not greasy, but later in the day it is. I usually wear coverup to cover up the occasional spot. Is this the promblem?
Heres my skin routine:
In the morning I just splash my face with water and put a day cream on but at night I use an olay face wash.
what can I do about greasy/ oily skin?
Thanks!
Help! I have oily/greasy skin? !!!?
You should wash your face with a clear foaming cleanser. Then gently swipe your face with a moisturizing toner (like Nivea Visage alcohol free moisturizing toner/ pink bottle with blue lid) on a cotton pad. After, put on a gel moisturzier like Clean %26amp; Clear oil free moisturizer. Carry a pack of Clean %26amp; Clear oil blotting sheets in your purse too, so you can dab them in the areas that get oily throughout the day.
Reply:You should start washing your face in the morning. I would also make sure that you are using the proper day cream for your face. You may want to switch to a cream designed for combination skin.
Reply:I really don't know hon... but I do know that people with oily skin usually stay younger looking into old age for some reason. So it might suck now, but later on you'll be thankful for it.
Reply:I had the same problem as you when I was your age as well. Oily skin, is acne-prone skin, so you want to wash it daily with a good cleanser. Try a 3-step system ( cleanser, toner, moisturizer ) that is suited especially for Oily Skin, such as the Biotherm Biopur system for oily skin, or Clinique, or just go to a local drug store and ask for a consultation. Just make sure that whatever moisturizer you use, however, is oil free. That's the main step. And also, never ever wipe your oil with just a regular kleenex tissue, or with your bare hands, that's won't do anything, but create more bacteria for your skin. If you hate seeing the oil during the day, go buy those oil-blotting sheets, I think Neutrogena has them for $6.00. But just remember, wash your face daily morning and night, and you should be okay. Everyone has a different skin type, so it's all natural.
Reply:I'm 20 and I've worn make up since I was twelve years old and I can tell you that MOST make up does not cause oil problems. It might be the problem if you use a thick foundation or liquid base...which at thirteen would be overkill for just an occasional spot.
Oiliness is a problem that can be caused by many things including:
* Heredity
* Diet
* Hormone levels
* Pregnancy
* Birth control pills
* Cosmetics you use
* Humidity and hot weather

I still have to maintain my oily skin which is annoying but, hey, at least our skin type ages slower! My routine is washing my face in the shower with St. Ives Apricot Scrub (Blackhead and blemish control). I seal the pores shut by rinsing my face with cold water, which closes up the pores where bacteria and oil-acne causing oil can gather. I recommend using an oil-free moisturizer, not cream, for oily skin such as the one Proactiv sells, which works great.
For problems during the day, a lot of different make up companies sell things that are called Blotting Papers that absorb the oil on your face. I know for sure that Exfoliage and Mary Kay sell them. I think Clean %26amp; Clear does too and there are plenty of generic brands of them at Big Lots and at convenience stores.
I hope you find a regiment that works for you as well!
Reply:i would wash your face in the morning with a face wash especially designed for oily skin. also, the have these great little wipes that come in a compact made by 'clean and clear' that you wipe your face with and it get's rid of oil.
Reply:wash your face, and get some pressed poweder in your skin tone. Keep your powder in your purse and reapply it during the day (I usually reapply it at lunch)

Reply:I'm 20 and I've worn make up since I was twelve years old and I can tell you that MOST make up does not cause oil problems. It might be the problem if you use a thick foundation or liquid base...which at thirteen would be overkill for just an occasional spot.
Oiliness is a problem that can be caused by many things including:
* Heredity
* Diet
* Hormone levels
* Pregnancy
* Birth control pills
* Cosmetics you use
* Humidity and hot weather

I still have to maintain my oily skin which is annoying but, hey, at least our skin type ages slower! My routine is washing my face in the shower with St. Ives Apricot Scrub (Blackhead and blemish control). I seal the pores shut by rinsing my face with cold water, which closes up the pores where bacteria and oil-acne causing oil can gather. I recommend using an oil-free moisturizer, not cream, for oily skin such as the one Proactiv sells, which works great.
For problems during the day, a lot of different make up companies sell things that are called Blotting Papers that absorb the oil on your face. I know for sure that Exfoliage and Mary Kay sell them. I think Clean %26amp; Clear does too and there are plenty of generic brands of them at Big Lots and at convenience stores.
I hope you find a regiment that works for you as well!
Reply:i would wash your face in the morning with a face wash especially designed for oily skin. also, the have these great little wipes that come in a compact made by 'clean and clear' that you wipe your face with and it get's rid of oil.
Reply:wash your face, and get some pressed poweder in your skin tone. Keep your powder in your purse and reapply it during the day (I usually reapply it at lunch)

What creams/bleach are effective to lighten skin?
There are so many black people in this world that need to follow your lead.
Good job, by thinking you're not good enough as the color you already are.
Thumbs up to those who have invented bleaching creams.
If you've run out just go to a dermatologist and ask the stronger stuff.

Reply:I'm against the use of chemicals, especially bleach, so I would recommend milk with a bit of lime juice. Apply this mixture over your skin, let it soak for a while and wash off with cold water. You'll definitely see results. It doesn't get cheaper than this!

Lightening Cream corrects pigmentation disorders, as well as lightens, smoothes and firms the skin. It also fades skin discolorations ,such as age spots, freckles, or hyper pigmentation that may occur from sun exposure. Contains an advanced complex of revitalizing components and vitamins.
Reply:The Obaji Nu-Derm line works great. It has a bleaching lotion that will lighten your skin and any dark spots you may have. You have to get it from a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeons office.

all of of those is for a girl with oily skin n young 19! i also need a good face remedy!
thanks!
Need help! with a good skin remedy!!?
I used to have oily skin and pimples almost on my entire life. I've tried almost any products, but I still have oily skin. So I switched everything to natural ( as much possible homemade products)
When it comes to soap, use the milder one ( I used soap made for babies). Aquanil or cetaphil is also good. Don' think that having an oily skin doesnt need a moisture. And dont wash your face more than 3 times a day. Then instead of expensive moisturizer, I use honey mixed with nivea cream. Thats for my morning routine. At night I dont used soap instead I use baking soda with water to scrub my face. Its good in killing bacteria that cause pimples. then apple cider vinegar as a toner. Just dab on a cotton. Then use the same moisturizer I mentioned above. For facial lines, I've heard that castor oil do wonders on that part. There's no harm in trying coz castor oil can promote eyelash growth and it is good on the eyes. And most important drink lots and lots of water, eat plenty of fruits and veggies. For more alternatives, you can browse the link below and search the "fountain of youth". You will get more information about your problem.
Reply:okay first off here is what i do:
I wash my face at least twice a day with Neutragena's Rapid Clear Oil Control Face Cleanser (you can buy it at walmart). I have been using it for almost five years now and i love it! I also exfoliate my face once a week with a home-made brown sugar scrub. which is 1/4 cup brown sugar, 3 tablespoon milk and you just mix that together til it forms a paste and rub it on your face for about a minute and then rinse it with lukewarm water. I dont use a moisturizer everyday or anything like that because my face does break out more if i do and it tends to get more oily. i also dont use a toner either and i stick to my regimen instead of always switching it up and tryin new things. you cant do that to your skin because it will cause it to be irritated and break out more. but i hope this helps you out. i know it can be frustating because my skin used to be the same way until i found my face wash and i love it!! it really does help!
Reply:*mmmmm okay go to ulta and get this stuff im not exactly sure what its called but one kind is like mint and it like refreshes your face and the other one makes you face really hot and it like burns your blackheads. or what actually works is taking 1/4 a cup of brown sugar and 4 tbsp of milk and mixing it together then rub all over your face.

Reply:ok- I have a license in skin care and just found this site. no offense but all of this input doesn't make sense. why would someone suggest to not wash your face at night but instead SCRUB with baking soda? what does baking soda do? and St. Ives is the cheapest, worse stuff on the market. It has walnut shells in it that scratch your skin. That's what 3 bucks will buy you. Please go get a professional facial and let your therapist recommend your home care and explain to you what each item does!

Just get Neutrogena Skin Care Line. They now have a nice selection for various problems.
Avoid to much of Caffeine %26amp; Diary products. Add Vitamin-Beta Caratene (as directed) 25-35mg.zinc, and about 500mg.Vit.E.
Most important, be sure to wash face daily a.m. %26amp; p.m.
If you apply to many products on face, it can be over processed and end up giving even more problems.
Dont use Castor oil, it will cause white heads, for it clogges the pores. Any product with the ingredients of, waxes, mineral and lanolin, will clogg pores and end up with white heads that will need to be manual extracted.

Dry, bumpy skin?
Since my son was born he has had the worst dry skin, it's hard and bumpy and all over his body.. his head looks as if he has horrible cradle cap. He is 3 and I have taken him to the Dr and tried every product from Aveeno, natural lanolin oils/creams, baby lotions/oils, adult lotions, ect and nothing helps. For his head I have tried shampoos for dry scalp, oils and tried to brush it out, pick it out, ect. His Dr says the only option I have to to get a cream that costs over $400 for a 3oz. tube (that my insurance will not pay for). If I have to I'll get it, but I really can't afford that every month. I'm sure it's not comfortable to him though.
Dry, bumpy skin?
Give him omega 3 fatty acids, it does wonders for the skin. You can call your local health food store to see what they have available for 3 year olds.
Reply:Well, i know St. Ives products work great and their affordable. please see [source]. and click on Skin Advisor, follow it through it should direct you to the product which should help.
also give him tomato juice, will help improve skin.

Skin Care: Oily Darker Sweating SKIN?
actually Noxzema, Clearasil is bad for your skin if you have problems...even small problem ed skin. those products and some over the counter products are only good for very flawless skin. they will only make your skin more oily or dry it out.
you will want to see a dermatologist or a skin care therapist. possibly get a facial at a medical spa somewhere. the therapist will analyze your skin and tell you what type of skin you actually have and go from there. the therapist will tell you exactly what types of products will be good for your skin.
it's always best to exfoliate, cleanse, use a toner, and a moisturizer. (exfoliate) is good only a few times a week...more that that is too aggressive for skin)

Reply:The best adnice: visit a dermatologist. Because of your excessively oily skin, over-the-counter products are not likely to help this issue. You'll most likely save a lot of time and money by just going to see a dermatologist rather than trying to battle it on your own.
A good dermatologist will be able to diagnose the problem and provide the best solution. If you don't currently have a dermatologist, your general physician should be able to give you the names and numbers of some good skincare doctors in your area.
In the meantime, make sure to wash your face with a good cleanser for oily skin, such as Noxema or Clearasil at least two times a day (once in the morning, once at night). Be sure to follow that by cleaning your face with a food toner or astringent, preferably one also for oily skin. Additionally, you could buy topical medication that you can apply and leave on after using the toner. A cream such as Clearasil's Daily Acne Control Cream should help your skin dry and clear.
Remember, a dermatologist will be able to give you the best treatment.

Should i use cream bleach?
i recently noticed that i have small hairs growing on the corners of my lip. i was wondering if i use cream bleach what kind should i use and will it increase hair growth? im 12 too. i dont want to wax cuz i no that will hurt. and ill probly only use it for winter cuz in summer i get tan and it will pronly blend in with my skin.o yea, will it also affect my skin at all?
Should i use cream bleach?
it may affect your skin because you may have an allergic reaction to some chemicals in the bleach. the best thing to do (i know it hurts) is wax or pluck. if you really want to bleach the hairs use a well known, reputable brand such as veet or nair.
use something like the veet hair bleach cream (at the bottom of the page)...

Hi, im having slight skin problem on my hand, there are a couple of black patches and the skin has stated to crack, so i get little cuts, which leaves my hand stinging. i had the same thing around this time last year, any ideas on what it could be, or can you reccomend a hand cream i should use to prevent this,
i dont care about the minor stinging, i just dont want these black patches on my hand it looks as if i havent washed it in weeks,
thanks.
Skin problem on my hand?
same problem here. it's the winter weather. ur hands are chapping, similar to how lips chap.
use chapstick on ur hands or vaseline or cortizone. avoid carmex cuz it will burn n irritate. hand sanitizer worsens it.
washing ur hands with powerful soaps without moisturizing afterwards compounds the problem.
Reply:buy no marks cream
Reply:the salt in your sweat causes the stinging,use gloves at work and rub olive oil in to the skin after washing your hands,carry some in a little bottle,it helps.Lorry drivers used to suffer badly from this when roping and sheeting loads,till their hands became concrete lumps.
Reply:the best thing is to go to your doctor if not try a pharmacist
Reply:see your doc. you may be allergic to something. there are lots of different creams that your doc can try. my bf had a similar problem and the last cream he got actually worked. you need to get it seen professionally. over the counter remedies are not worth it.
Reply:My friend had the same thing, turned out it was a fungus. Sounds weird but jock itch cream and a lotion called "working hands".

Red irritated skin beside vagina opening?
For about a month i have had very red irritated skin on the right hand side of my vagina opening, i thought it may be a yeast infection so i applied anti-fungal cream a few times a day for a week, but no improvement, i then purchased another brand of anti-fungal cream and have been applying it for about a week also. i am a virgin and dont understand why this is happening.
can anyone please give me some advise?
Red irritated skin beside vagina opening?
friction from pants or underwear maybe

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Reply:JOCK ITCH or prickly heat...DEFINITELY see a doctor if it does not go away
Reply:It may be vaginosis. That's like a yeast infection, but it's more persistent and doesn't respond to less than prescription strength medication. I had it, and it was definitely characterized by red, irritated skin near my vagina. It was also itchy, and I had a near constant discharge. To treat it, you should go to your gynecologist. Hope this helps!
Reply:go easy just keep ur private parts clean and dry ....and apply some antiseptic cream...like "SOFRAMYCIN" it is of gr8 help...and for some time donot wear tight innerwears
Reply:Please report Living Dead Elvis.
Reply:It could be an infection that the doctor needs to prescribe stronger meds for. It could be simple irritation from your panties, acidic urine (not drinking enough water) or even just wiping too thoroughly after using the toilet. Try blotting rather than wiping. Vaginal tissue is thin and delicate and is Easily irritated by washing with strong or fragranced soaps. Never use antibacterial soaps down there.
I would advise stopping all creams. Eat more yogurt with live active cultures and blot rather than wipe for the next week. If there is no improvement after that then definitely make an appointment with your doctor.
Reply:you probably have an infection caused by the skin being moist, not getting dry enough. Try putting regular talc baby powder on it daily. Not powder with corn starch it will breed bacteria. Since the yeast cream hasn't worked try just cortisone 10, with the powder for a week. If that doesn't work see a doctor. you might need a combo yeast and cortisone cream.
Reply:hai, your problem its simple i think you must be discuss this with doctor. i can give you solution you have to clean your vagina area with "sirih" i dont know the word in english but you can ask anyone to give you more information about "sirih". i just pray, i hope your sick disappear.good luck.karlina
Reply:This could be an irritation from nylons, or spandex type pants. Your fluids could be high acidic. Take warm baths with baking soda. This is a natural skin healing and if you can do a couple a day and you will find some relief. Sometimes an ingrown hair can cause an irritation also. If it persist you should go see your doctor just to be sure. Now if you have had any type of sexual contact, not necessary intercourse, you should get checked out, because you can get a bacteria from hands. However the baking soda baths can give you relief. A yeast infection will affect the whole area, not just one area. Don't stress..

That you can find at a department store, that is safe to use and truly effective?

Which is the best face cream to us to keep your face smooth and prevent from spots...?
I want to make my face clear, and prevent from getting spots...! Also i have a dry skin so need to keep it smooth and not dry...! And ideas which face cream i should use which will do both the things...?
Which is the best face cream to us to keep your face smooth and prevent from spots...?
Most face creams will actually cause some sort of skin condition and many takes days to get rid of. Try surviving with only a good moisturiser and all the spots should clear up in a few weeks without coming back - the more you put on your skin the more problems you will have. Most spot creams dont work so dont waste your time and money on them. Try Clinique - its expensive but works very well or the best what you can afford.

All I had to do was answer a few auestions, They are a well known national name brand for facial and skin care, everyone knows Oil of Olay.

Skin care?????????????????
i have a daily routine which consists of dove soap, sometimes scrub and moisteriser and acne cream. it works ok but the acne is not totally gone and im thinking i wana REALLY take care of my skin now will this cleanse - tone - moisterise routine help me get better skin NOW and when im older????? OR do you think i should stick with what works?
Skin care?????????????????
Dove is moisturizing, but I don't know if that's the right product to use. Did you learn to do that from the Tyra Banks show? Anyways. I recommend Pro-Activ. It has the whole procedure and it is effective to ONLY some people; depending on your skin-type. Pro-Activ works sagnificantly for some people, and for others, it shows no results. I use Dr. Eslee, but it's hard to find the product around in the US, though it is sold in America. I bought it in Korea and it really works fantasticly for me. I also suggest you carry around oil-blotting sheets. Just about any skin-care company sells them, even at some Victoria's Secret stores (Beauty Rush). It'll help keep from oil building up on your face throughout the day. Keep in mind to wash your face not only in the morning and at night, but after you come home from anywhere, such as school or work. Oil and dirt really clog your pores when you're outdoors.
Hope this helped!
Reply:If your routine works there is no need to change it. But you need to consider other factors about it. 1. Let your skin breath,If she receives every day and every night harsh treatments like scrubbing and astringent she will start to lose her natural oils and natural moisture's. So let it be all natural for a couple of hours. 2. Use a sunblock moisturizer every time your going out this would prevent premature aging and of course skin cancer. 3. And last but not least If you want to get more serious about your acne problem go se a dermatologist she our he will guide you throw the road for recovery. Good Luck!!!!
Reply:It's difficult to answer as everybody's skin is different. I don't think it's a good idea to use any soap on your face as it is too harsh. Have you considered going for a professional facial? This could be a good starting point as often the therapist will be able to advise you on a skin care routine suited to your skin type.
I have been going to Waterfall Spa in Leeds for a year or so and have noticed a big difference in my skin from regular facials although they can be expensive to keep up. I'd definitely recommend going for one if you can as you will pick up all sorts of tips!

Skin problem?
about 2 months ago i noticed little skin coloured raised bumps on the insides of my fingers ,some times in groups or singly, some look like they have a tiny black dot in the middle. they itch ALOT and once itched become red more raised then go very dry but still itch.
it then moved to the fingers next to my little fingers on both hands then i got some on the backs of both my hands (which i couldt stop myself itching as much as i tryed) and it turned in to a large red lumpy, very itchy raised patch about 2" round in the center of the back of my left hand, the right one is half that
It then spread to my left wrist, then both my elbows, then to my the outsides of boths my arm (the shin like bit) and i now have a patch on left shin. Its driving me crazy and looks minging, and i think where the skin is so dry and tough the hairs cant break through, which is probaly making it worse.
The Doctors said it is stress exma but the steriod cream it not working at all.
Any ideas anyone
Skin problem?
It is probably just eczema. Try moisturizing your arms and legs with lotion every day after the shower and using a gentle moisturizing soap in the shower (like Oil of Olay or Dove body wash). Also, tell your doctor the cream is not working. They may be able to give you a stronger or alternate formulation.
Reply:May be scabies, they cause little itchy bumps in between fingers, anyone else around you itchy..
just a suggestion. Report It
Reply:Hmmm, It could be warts. But not highly likely. I think you should go see another doctor if you don't trust your current one.
Reply:It sounds like eczema. I get the same all over my hands. If you have used the cream strictly for at least 2 weeks go back to the doctor and tell him the cream isn't working.

What creams/herbs etc give you radiant skin on your face?
I wash my face two or three times a day with Burt's Bees Garden Tomato Soap and use Common Sense Shea Butter on my skin at night. Tomato brightens your skin, as does the Vitamin C naturally in shea butter. In fact, shea butter has more Vitamin C than oranges. My skin always looks more radiant when I use these products. People have even commented on it. :)
What creams/herbs etc give you radiant skin on your face?
Plain old soap and water used every day.
Reply:well vitamin A and D pills are the best but try prenatal pills they help alot.
Reply:try milk
Reply:get a nice scrub and use it 2 a day.
Reply:Apply rose water, cream and almond regularly
Reply:Creams that cause your skin to glow, do so because they're causing an allergic reaction. keep it clean, and use a mild moisturiser, nothing else.
oh, lots of exercise, no smoking and minimum drinking will be good.

What's the best way to take care of your skin? Getting rid of spots.. blotchiness.. I've tried face masks and spot cream.. are there any other things?

if the spots are really bad c your doctor they can give you a course of antibiotics to try and sort it out
Reply:I'M A TRAINEE BEAUTY THERAPIST WHY DONT YOU GET A FACIAL IT LEAVES YOUR SKIN FEELING WONDERFUL
Reply:Ugh, I have them to , the best thing I've found so far is Noxzema's face scrub cream,wash your face once in the morning and once at night and TADA! they are gone. You can find at any store that carries beauty products
Reply:Getting into a good skin care regime is always a good idea. Most lines have products that address various skin types. Start with a good cleanser, and then a moisturizer. It may be a good idea for you to use a micro-dermabrasion a couple times a week. I can attest to Dr. Brandt microdermabrasion. Also Philosophy is very reputable. Just remember to look for a line the is ideal for you skin type.
Reply:Could be diet related...you could pay for a private consultation with a dermatologist, or go to a skin clinic, or talk to some of the more knowledgable girls at the body shop
Reply:sometimes the problem can be that you're doing too much to get rid of the spots... use products for sensitive skin, and just wait them out rather than trying to get rid of them in record time. Give your skin a bit of a rest and use products for sensitive skin with a minimum of nasty-sounding chemicals in the ingredients.
I've got some tea tree oil I use directly on spots, and it works wonders... I also use an oil-based cleanser and a really gentle moisturiser (both from Lush) which are great.
Also... stress and diet have a LOT to do with skin problems. So make sure you're eating a healthy diet, and try to sit back and relax for a bit every now and again.
Reply:Hi, I actually read these really good articles about skin care, you'll find more useful information there I'm sure, I did. Here is the link:

Reply:well if you have trouble with your skin you should stop useing face masks they can iratate your skin. and drink lots of water about 8-10 glasses of water a day. and hold back on the soda and candy that dosnt help your skin t can make t break out.and dont forget to wash you face twice a day. use clean and clear oil free and i t really works
Reply:I dont use soap on my face under any circumstances and havent for years now. I use a facial wash/cleanser instead. Try to minimise the amount of makeup and give your skin valuable "free" time. Mix your foundation with moistouriser on your hand berfore applying to your face to stop the foundation drying the skin out and removing valuable nutrients, also goes on easier.
I find face masks bring spots out more as they are drawing out imputities, thats why they say to use a week prior to a special occasion; so they have chance to clear up.
Dont let your skin dry out, a facial spritzer is great to carry about as it can freshen your skin whilst replacing moisture.
I also let my skin get plenty of air, my bedroom window is always open a bit to let air in, especially if the heating is on otherwise it gets too hot and dry and the same for the skin.
Dont use too many potions, find a couple that you like and leave it at that as I think you can over do it. Some moisturisers are too heavy and not absorbed by the skin so well so sit there on top of the skin instead. You need a light one that absorbs in and feels light, if it feels light your skin will still be able to breathe.
Sitting in a warm bath with the door shut helps to open the pores and get rid of impurities too.
If you smoke it doesnt help your skin one bit, I have friends whose skin has improved loads once they have quit too. Too much alchohol has adverse affects too. Drink lots of water its great for keeping skin from drying out thus subtle and full of its natural elasticity aswell as helping your body flush out harmful toxins.
Vitamin A is important for healthy skin and can be found in milk, cheese and liver. I think this is why some peoplpe that are dieting can develop problem skin as one of the first things that can go in a diet is cheese due to its high fat content/calories. However it provides the essential fat for the skin and hair and cell re-growth.
So in short: Vit A, air, water on skin aswell as in body. No soap, clean with face cleansers/washes and be careful with make-up and moisturiser not to block your pores.
Pamper yourself with baths to kep your pores free from impurities. Its a good excuse.
Reply:Skin peels work wonders. If you need any advice just mail me as I am a beauty therapist.
Reply:You need to get a professional facial. They can recommend what to use on your face. You dont necessarily need the brands they shove off on you, but I would use similar products. If that doesnt help see a dermatologist.
Reply:really it depends on your age. if you are young, you will get spots anyway. the most important thing is to clean your skin and not with soap.
non perfumed products are best, something vit c is good. face masks will bring out impurities in your skin so dont do it just before you are going out on a night out. drink plenty of water, i know its what you hear all the time but it is the best way of clearing out the system
Reply:I am a thirty four year old mother of three ranging in age from thirteen to sixteen, both of my daughters and myself use the Philosophy range morning and night it is vitally important to cleanse tone and moisturise at these times. Believe it or not but I had spots at the same time as my daughters and still do have the very rare breakout, Philosophy products target the Sebum and slow it down so the spots will dry out and with continued use they will disappear however at the time of the month you may get the odd spot. I would advise you to stick to one set of products for a month to six weeks by this time you should know if the products are going to help your skin. Remeber when you wash your face with a facial cleanser or combined cleanser/toner your skin should never feel tight. Philosophy do a Jump Starters Kit which lasts approximately four to six weeks and give you time to see if the product is going to work before buying full size products. QVC do this kit and the reason I would reccommend them is if you feel towards the end of the thirty day trial period they give with all their products you can phone up and tel them you are returning whats left as you can't see a difference in your skin. If (and I would be surprised the products didn't work) you find the products are working for you shop around don't feel compelled to buy from QVC as I have found out you can get philosophy products cheaper elsewhere.
There are a few sites below if you wish to try the philosophy range, I know my daughters and myself would highly reccommend all of their range.
Good Luck with your product search.

Reply:hiya!
Well i have always used the facial wash and facial scrub from the naturals collection. they are great because they are made from natural sorces which is always best for the skin.
use the facial wash morning and night which will moisturise your skin and leave it spot free.
use the facial scrub 1nce a week and that will take off the dead skins cells from your face leaving your face silky smooth!
you must give these products time before they work at least 2-3 weeks but guranteed results!
Good luck with everything!!

if the spots are really bad c your doctor they can give you a course of antibiotics to try and sort it out

Reply:Ugh, I have them to , the best thing I've found so far is Noxzema's face scrub cream,wash your face once in the morning and once at night and TADA! they are gone. You can find at any store that carries beauty products
Reply:Getting into a good skin care regime is always a good idea. Most lines have products that address various skin types. Start with a good cleanser, and then a moisturizer. It may be a good idea for you to use a micro-dermabrasion a couple times a week. I can attest to Dr. Brandt microdermabrasion. Also Philosophy is very reputable. Just remember to look for a line the is ideal for you skin type.
Reply:Could be diet related...you could pay for a private consultation with a dermatologist, or go to a skin clinic, or talk to some of the more knowledgable girls at the body shop
Reply:sometimes the problem can be that you're doing too much to get rid of the spots... use products for sensitive skin, and just wait them out rather than trying to get rid of them in record time. Give your skin a bit of a rest and use products for sensitive skin with a minimum of nasty-sounding chemicals in the ingredients.
I've got some tea tree oil I use directly on spots, and it works wonders... I also use an oil-based cleanser and a really gentle moisturiser (both from Lush) which are great.
Also... stress and diet have a LOT to do with skin problems. So make sure you're eating a healthy diet, and try to sit back and relax for a bit every now and again.
Reply:Hi, I actually read these really good articles about skin care, you'll find more useful information there I'm sure, I did. Here is the link:

Reply:well if you have trouble with your skin you should stop useing face masks they can iratate your skin. and drink lots of water about 8-10 glasses of water a day. and hold back on the soda and candy that dosnt help your skin t can make t break out.and dont forget to wash you face twice a day. use clean and clear oil free and i t really works
Reply:I dont use soap on my face under any circumstances and havent for years now. I use a facial wash/cleanser instead. Try to minimise the amount of makeup and give your skin valuable "free" time. Mix your foundation with moistouriser on your hand berfore applying to your face to stop the foundation drying the skin out and removing valuable nutrients, also goes on easier.
I find face masks bring spots out more as they are drawing out imputities, thats why they say to use a week prior to a special occasion; so they have chance to clear up.
Dont let your skin dry out, a facial spritzer is great to carry about as it can freshen your skin whilst replacing moisture.
I also let my skin get plenty of air, my bedroom window is always open a bit to let air in, especially if the heating is on otherwise it gets too hot and dry and the same for the skin.
Dont use too many potions, find a couple that you like and leave it at that as I think you can over do it. Some moisturisers are too heavy and not absorbed by the skin so well so sit there on top of the skin instead. You need a light one that absorbs in and feels light, if it feels light your skin will still be able to breathe.
Sitting in a warm bath with the door shut helps to open the pores and get rid of impurities too.
If you smoke it doesnt help your skin one bit, I have friends whose skin has improved loads once they have quit too. Too much alchohol has adverse affects too. Drink lots of water its great for keeping skin from drying out thus subtle and full of its natural elasticity aswell as helping your body flush out harmful toxins.
Vitamin A is important for healthy skin and can be found in milk, cheese and liver. I think this is why some peoplpe that are dieting can develop problem skin as one of the first things that can go in a diet is cheese due to its high fat content/calories. However it provides the essential fat for the skin and hair and cell re-growth.
So in short: Vit A, air, water on skin aswell as in body. No soap, clean with face cleansers/washes and be careful with make-up and moisturiser not to block your pores.
Pamper yourself with baths to kep your pores free from impurities. Its a good excuse.

What creams/herbs etc give you radiant skin on your face?
I wash my face two or three times a day with Burt's Bees Garden Tomato Soap and use Common Sense Shea Butter on my skin at night. Tomato brightens your skin, as does the Vitamin C naturally in shea butter. In fact, shea butter has more Vitamin C than oranges. My skin always looks more radiant when I use these products. People have even commented on it. :)
What creams/herbs etc give you radiant skin on your face?
Plain old soap and water used every day.
Reply:well vitamin A and D pills are the best but try prenatal pills they help alot.
Reply:try milk
Reply:get a nice scrub and use it 2 a day.
Reply:Apply rose water, cream and almond regularly
Reply:Creams that cause your skin to glow, do so because they're causing an allergic reaction. keep it clean, and use a mild moisturiser, nothing else.
oh, lots of exercise, no smoking and minimum drinking will be good.

Thanks:)

Reply:first thing first you have to find out what kind of skin you have and DONT use spot creams they dont work they dry the skin out which can lead to more spots, the beast thing to do is pop down to your local beauty salon and ask for a skin analyse and they should tell you the best products for you to use
Reply:hiya!
Well i have always used the facial wash and facial scrub from the naturals collection. they are great because they are made from natural sorces which is always best for the skin.
use the facial wash morning and night which will moisturise your skin and leave it spot free.
use the facial scrub 1nce a week and that will take off the dead skins cells from your face leaving your face silky smooth!
you must give these products time before they work at least 2-3 weeks but guranteed results!
Good luck with everything!!
