I just bought Nair Cream Hair bleach, and I followed the instructions carefuly.
When I put it on it burned like hell, should it?
I took it off straight away. I have no one to ask.
My friend said try to not put it on your skin,
but isn't that impossible when you're trying to bleach your upper lip?
I hardly ever get allergic reactions, and my face is only a little red. But that may be because I tried hard to get it all off.
It was only on for around 40 seconds.
Is it normal for it to burn? What should it feel like?
Thanks for you help. Really appreciated.
Should hair bleaching cream burn?
I use hair removal cream instead of bleaching and waxing.
It's not nearly as messy and not painful at all and the hair takes ages to grow back, plus it only takes 5minutes.
try it?

Reply:This might mean you are allergic to it yes tke it off right away . It should say onthe box before using test a small area .
Reply:if u have a skin problem it might burn
Reply:Your skin is too sensitive to use it if it's burning you. Some people can use the creams, and some can't. When it tells you to patch test it before you try it, it's pretty much imperative that you do, otherwise you'll end up with some unpleasant results if it does burn you. I've had rashes up and down my legs from the stuff because I thought the exact same thing as you. "I'm not allergic to anything, I'll be fine."
I wasn't. ;P
Reply:I use a bleach that I leave on for 8 min. It starts to burn toward the end and I sometimes end up with red irritation where it was applied, but I put lotion on it and it usually goes away within half an hour...maybe that's bad, but I find it better than the hair removal stuff. That stuff is what burned me right away so that I couldn't leave it on at all. I'm guessing it's a skin sensitivity issue to the product...and you may just have to try a few to find one that works for you. Definitely try different brands, but look at the ingredient list to make sure you're not buying the exact same product under a different name.

Shaving/skin help, my legs are reddish pink all around after I shave what can I do?
So I use a normal razor and do use shaving cream! I moisturize with some lotion. But I DO NOT get bumps. They are just pinkish red and when you touch them they become normal skin color and then the colr goes back to reddish pink. If I am in the sun they aren't as noticable but it still is discolored. Does anyone know what it is? And how to fix it??
Shaving/skin help, my legs are reddish pink all around after I shave what can I do?
I would try a better grade of razor, a more moisturizing shaving cream, going with instead of against the grain of the hair, and heavy-duty lotion afterwards.
Reply:The reason that they are reddish-pink, is because of the pressure that you put on them when you were shaving. It will fix itself.

My skin got poisoned (ocean water). Is my immune system might come over it alone?
About 3 times, I swam in poluted rivers in Canada and California. Each time, my skin got itchy and got cover of many pimples.
I am just back from Puerto Rico, I swam in many areas. One was probably poluted. I got daily some new pimpes (5 days so far) but they are not itchy as usual. As usual, the first pimples were at the belt level.
I believe that my immunity system will eventually destroy that poison. Might it be possible or will I have to meet a doctor to get a prescription of a strong cream?

You have contact dermatitis. You are getting an allergic reaction to something in the water. In fact this is an improper immune response.

Any fair ness creams available which effects on the skin to become whiter in one year?now i am like westindian
Sorry but you're pretty much stuck with the skin color you're in for the rest of your life. The effective skin lightening creams work only temporarily. When you visit a dermatologist, they'd tell you the same thing too. There're no permanent skin whitening products in the market. Even after using skin lightening products and noticing a bit of lightening, your color will return to its original tone everytime it gets exposed to sunlight. The most effective way is by using sun block and you have to be VERY consistant. A dermatologist said that if you consistently put on sunscreen for 2 months but forgot to put it on one day while your out in the sun, the complete effects are reversed and you'd get your original color back. That's how consistant you have to be if you want to lighten your skin tone. Then again, putting on chemicals like sunscreen very consistently is also harmful.
Best you can do is use wear clothes to protect your body from the sunlight and a cap.
Also, if you have to use any skin lightening products, the most effective ingredient is hydroquinone. Unfortunately, this ingredient is carcinogenous, meaning it's cancer causing. So avoid it if you can.

Over the counter whitening creams can cause hyper - or hypo- pigmentation problems.
There's really no safe prescription medication to alter pigmentation either. (i.e. all have side effects)
The best thing to do is to wear sunscreen everyday %26amp; clothing impregnated w/ SPF. ex) Solumbra @ http://www.sunprecautions.com/
Reply:Use this homemade face pack for one week you will find a difference. Make a face pack consisting of cucumber juice, lemon juice and some rose water. To remove tan make a paste using Haldi (Turmeric) with a little raw (unboiled) milk and lemon juice. Apply it on the skin; it will help in removing a tan. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/fairskin.htm...

Have you ever used a firming cream that you actually saw results with?
And I'm not talking about soft skin and nice smell etc... Have you ever seen or felt real firming results with any cream and which?
Have you ever used a firming cream that you actually saw results with?
Hi there i use two things that have worked wonders for me, the first is a tablet called cell u loss and the other is the body contouring cream. The combination has reduced my cellulite to virtually zero in about six months or so and i dont work out either. The only exercise I get is walking once or twice a week which I did previously anyway. I dont know if it works for everyone but it has for me so I would say give it a try. The place I get it from is myhealthabcmall.com, the shipping is within about three days. there is a number you can ring and an email to get advice, I havent used them but they are there if you want them. Oh a tip is if you do order and you like the stuff then order in bulk the next time it saves you money on the shipping charges. I hope this helps, good luck, Lucy

Best hair removal cream?
I have disgusting pimples/spots/lumps under my arms. I have no idea what they are of why I have them suddenly. I stopped using a ladyshave which apparently was hypoallergenic and started using a venus razor and got spots. But my skin is tempremental and sensitive and prone to spots and random break outs.
I am gonna stop shaving for a month but I hate underarm hair so need an alternative way of getting rid of it. Not waxing for now so don't suggest it.
Does anyone know of a reliable hair removal cream and how many uses if I just used it on my umderarms could I get out of a tube?
Thanks for any info.
Best hair removal cream?
Clogged skin pores or older, dirty razors may be the culprit here. Dirty razors may have bacteria causing your issues.
I recommend using hair removers / depilatories
I personally prefer using the chemical hair removers - like Epil Stop or Nair. They work well and do last longer than shaving, plus they make my skin feel really smooth because they all exfoliate the skin. Also, when the hair does grow back, it isn’t so stubbly like you get with shaving.
I just checked out the new Epil Stop hair remover and the really cool afterwash sample that came with it. Epil Stop is definitely my new favorite and what I'll be using this summer.
It smells the best by far and comes in fun scents - Cosmopolitan Berry or Margarita Lime!
If you at all worried about skin irritation that some girls get from chemical hair removers, you gotta use Epil Stop’s Perfect Finish Neutralizing AfterWash - It neutralizes any hair remover cream left on your skin so you won't burn yourself accidentally or get any red bumps.
They have a demo on their website that shows how it all works.
Reply:I liked Veet, never used it on my pits though. But you leave it on for 3 minutes no burn and just wipe it off (or use their bladeless razor)....I think a container should last a fe wmonths if its just for your pits.
Reply:from my experience hair removal creams don't work under the arms... i used nair and veet
Reply:I use Veet during the winter time but avoid using it in the summer because of the sun.

Omg please find a way... i am from sri lanka (im brown) and my skin is like like light brown , really light but then under my eys are dark like dark brown because of my bags(nawt enuff sleep) but then in my upper lip it dark too! then my cheecks are only white it luks weird sometimes i HATE IT do you know any cream that will help me and something really cheap because my parents wont let me buy anything! :(
My skin is messed up! pls help?
Try using something natural, it sounds to me that you are having a problem with your PH balance. Goat milk soap will restore you PH balance and it's extremely good for your skin. If you can find Goat milk soap with olive oil that is the best money can buy. Sometimes you can find it in your local health food store, under homemade soap.
Reply:Ambi cream, available at most cosmetic stores, makes the skin lighter, so you could apply it to the dark spots and over time achieve a balance.
Reply:You can try Shahnaz Hussain products. They are herbal ones from India and I use them.
http://www.shahnaz-husain.com/
Or you can use Lotus Herbals products also from India.
http://www.lotusherbals.com/
They are available in beauty supply stores, in Sri Lanka. I am not sure of the prices, but they are really worth for the money you pay.
Just go through websites and see what is suitable for you.

Maderma really does help scars fade over time, but you have to be patient. I had a major knee surgery and it worked over 6-8 weeks to fade away the surgical scar. I also recommend Dermablend because I too, have very sensitive skin and it does blend with your skin tone to hide scars without irritating the skin. (I used to use it on the knee scar before Maderma came out.) Now you can even buy generics of Maderma which are less expensive than the brand.
Reply:Have you tried Dermablend? it is supposed to be very good at covering scars,plus it blends in with your skin colour. Might be worth the try!!!

What is your favorite Dr. Hauschka skin care product?
I have started using the cleansing cream for about a month and already have cleared my complexion of some acne around my nose and flaky skin on my forehead. Because I have sensitive skin I decided to try Dr. Hauschka because of its natural ingredients. It has herbs that seem to react well with my skin: marigold, chamomile, St. John's wort and kidney vetch. I find it refreshing and am using it twice a day - lets hope it makes me look younger!
Here is a link if you've never heard of this brand before: http://www.lilou-organics.com/Scripts/br... - I have had a problem with blackheads but this is tightening my pores and I don't find I'm getting them as often.
Would like to hear suggestions from other people on which products are worth it. Because organic is so expensive I'd rather hear it from another person if they think something is worth it before spending money on products especially when I'm buying it online - I can't find this brand in my local pharmac
What is your favorite Dr. Hauschka skin care product?
never liked it. tried ita few years back. i am a huge korres fan
Reply:My fav is Cleansing Cream and Quince Day Cream I have really dry, sensitive skin and it was quite hard to find the right skin care range. Dr Hauschka can be a little pricey, but its definitely worth the money! Report It

How to heal burnt skin (burnt from lemon juice)?
I was trying to follow this natural cosmetics advise...(Apply 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder mixed with teaspoon of lemon juice over pimple) and I burnt my skin , now I have 3 big red spots on my face and freaking out not knowing what to do...
I applyed sour cream for a bit, but it still there...Can anyone help me what to do?
Thanks in advance...
For reference I have dry skin and very fair complexion...
How to heal burnt skin (burnt from lemon juice)?
It sounds like a chemical burn..you could treat it like any other burn..there is some thing called "2nd skin moist burn pads" they work wonders on burns..you can find them right beside the band-aids at any pharmacy..you can cut them down to fit the area of the burns...they are like a band-aid..but they have a gel like substance ...it helps keep the area from drying out and a scab forming ..which can cause scarring to happen... and if there is any pain the coolness of the gel helps to ease it...also, if you have any A%26amp;D ointment you can use it ..this is very good for the skin and will help with the healing process.............
since your skin is already dry ..try to avoid anything that might cause these areas it to dry out more... you don't want scabs to form because a lot of time it will leave slight scars...
Reply:Lemon juice is very sour, that just means it's highly acidic, and that what causes the burn. I'm not sure if cinnamon contains alkaloid, but I gues those 2 are a very bad comnination. Since it is a chemical burn, do not put anything on it for the moment or it might just aggravate the situation. Your skin will heal in a few days, just bear with it in the meantime.

Dry skin on my dog's belly?
My dog has an overactive thyroid and takes medication regularly for it. Before she was diagnosed, her hair was falling out and she had a hot spot on her tail (this was why I took her to the vet initially). Anyway, since getting her meds her hair has grown back and she is losing weight. However, the hair on her belly hasn't grown back and her skin is very dry. The vet said that this is nothing to worry about. She said I could put baby oil on but I was wondering if it would be safe to use a moisturizing cream like Eucerin or Aveeno oatmeal? Any thoughts?
Dry skin on my dog's belly?
you could get the medicated oatmeal conditioner and leave it on her skin.my husky has skin allergies so the vet recomened it and it really soothes his skin.u should be able to get some at walmart or a pet store. make sure the area is clean and dry the put it on several times a day i also give my dog benadryl when he is really itchy. if your dog is still loosing wght she might need her meds changed or increased good luck
Reply:even dove to lightly wash the area and then dove or ponds cream works very well.

Does everyone has dark skin between the legs and buttcrack?
Well, I have darker skin around my vagina, if that's what you're asking. Yeah, all around that region the skin is darker than my normal skin tone. I don't know why. At first I thought I was a freak or had a disease (not HIV/STD though, just a type of skin disease), but not now--it's normal.
Don't sweat it. Guys won't care, I'm sure. Besides, it's usually dark when you're having sex, y'know?

Best alternative medicine for skin fungal infection?
My friend has this irritating itchiness in her thigh and feet. Doctor says it could be fungal infection or bacteria. She applied Lydex Cream and so far it helped. Though it did not take away the itchiness and skin irritation even if she already consumed 1tube. Please advise what is the best alternative medicine that can be found in the Philippines?

I have really dry skin on my back so dry i feel it crack, what do i do?
It is on my back and also on my stomach. It is so dry that when i scratch it flakes like dry scalp also i am starting to notice on my sides. It gets worst time to time. I used vaseline, coco butter, olive oil tried changing my sheets more often and also towels changed my bath wash, tried bathing in colder water and nothing helped. Is it my diet, my weight it is not the weather because i experience this all through the year and do not sun bathe or take tans. I drink lots and lots of water during the day and night. Can't figure it out but i am tired of scratching and feeling like if my skin is popping. my scalp is the same way at times i tried everything all the dandriff shampoos, changed to cream and very light hair dress to nothing but olive oil or naturals oils and the dry scalp would not fade. please help is ther anything i can take within to help this dry skin problem.???
I have really dry skin on my back so dry i feel it crack, what do i do?
First see a dermatologist. But until you can get in a have something you could try. My son has eczema and his skin on his toes crack very badly. What I do is soak him in a bath for 20 min to let the skin get hydrated, the I wash him with Cetaphil skin cleanser, Then I towel dry him and immediatly put baby oil on his skin, Put vaseline over the cracks for extra hydration. Hope it works hun, it works wonders for my son.
Reply:There is a new product by Oil of Olay and it is a body lotion you use in the shower. I like it. Try that. But it sounds like you need some medical help too. I'd go see a dermatologist if I were you. They have prescription shampoos and lotions that might help you better than the over the counter stuff.
Reply:apply baby oil and your favorite lotion always during day and before you go to sleep.
Reply:None of my business, but have you seen a Dermotologist?
Reply:Well, have you seen a dermatologist? you didnt mention it.. what about petroleum jelly...??? Apply it and cotton shirts or cloths are good for people with allergies if its one. Check out a chinese pharmacy in your area, they have various ointment that may help.
Reply:How many showers a day are you taking? If you take more then one you could be washing the natural oils your skin is producing off. Try cutting back if you take more then one, other then that definately see a dermatologist, it sounds painful. I have dry skin during the winter but applying lotion every day and using extra moisturizer usually takes care of the problem. Have you thought about switching your laundry detergent/fabric softner?

I'm a diver and my skin is frequently exposed to saltwater and sun. How can I best take care of my skin?
My facial skin is dryer now than before I got introduced to diving. Also, my pores seem a lot bigger. Moisturizers don't seem to work like they used to. I have combination skin, so it's really hard to manage...I'm torn between putting more moisturizer (because it looks unhealthy) and applying oil control cream (more sebum because of the bigger pores). What's the best remedy to this, without me having to sacrifice my love for diving?
I'm a diver and my skin is frequently exposed to saltwater and sun. How can I best take care of my skin?
Use pure and natural products - for your face and body.
Also after washing with pure soaps, and adding toner (witch hazel) add a light day cream spf.
If you keep on top of your regime/skin things will improve and your pores will be better.
Also exfoliate your face twice a week and a deep cleaning mask.
You can also exfoliate your skin in the shower with a lufa and natural oils or a sea salt scrub/oils etc.
Don't use creams that contain mineral oils or vaseline/baby oil as this hardens your skin not helps it.
when you dive apply a sun screen with water proof things it may help lock in some moisture -

Reply:Fishermen use a cream developed by a norwegian company. And doctors recommend it for people who work with their hands constantly in water. Unfortunately I can't remember it's name at the moment . All I can remember is that the tube had a print of the norwegian flag on it.
Reply:try taking a hot shower right after diving.
put on moisterizing lotion right after the shower
on wherever the problem is.
but u have to do it at least twice every day and
every day a week.
Reply:nurtagena sunscreen 45. its like a lotion a nice one. you can get waterproof also. i have to use this sunscreen everyday and it works. i also have great big pores. this one worked fine with the other skin cleansing i would do. it was a god send. good luck. and have fun catching that wave.
Reply:There are two aspects to the problem. One is what to do while you are in the salty water and the sun, and I think that a sunblock with silicones in it is what is best: sunblock will protect from UV and the silicones will provide some protection from the salty water.
The question is what to do when you are not in the water and out in the sun. You skin has been stressed and you can help it recover by providing nourishment: natural active peptides, hyaluronic acid, sea kelp bioferment and, last but not least, lipids (rosehip oil, ceramides, etc.). Don't forget the antioxidants, both water- and oil-soluble.
For pore size, try a salicylic wash, our clients really like it.
Good luck and best wishes

Dry Skin HELP!!?
Alright I used a new acne cream and it dried me up in three days...I have since stopped using it. I have been putting lotion on my face and have been using petroleum jelly also. The skin is really dry with, like large pieces. Its not like flakes or scales they are like wrinkles that wont go away! What should I do, just wait for it to peal itself? Should I keep using the petroleum jelly? What do you recommend?
Dry Skin HELP!!?
Make sure you are getting enough water. Lotions that dry your face up may also dry your body out and you may need a bit more fluid to help yur skin get back. Petroleum jelly is not especially good for your skin and it can clog your pores, taking you back to the original problem. Let it pass. It will.

Reply:Use a vitamin e base creamy petroleum jelly face cream.

Reply:I use Aloe Vera gel/lotion and it works very well on my dry skin.
Reply:no jelly, but get some jergen lotion, i have had much success with a similar issue
Reply:Exfoliate gently with a warm wet washcloth, then use a gentle moisturizer like Eucerin. If this doesn't help, you should see your doctor. You're probably just going to look kind of silly for a few days! And don't go overboard with the acne cream next time!
Reply:OK umm don't use petroleum jelly any more it attracts dirt and it's not really good for the skin on your face. i recommend using st. Ives collagen elastin. it works really good in dry skin. wash your face then put the lotion on. give it two to three days
Reply:Maybe try body or face oil to start with then purchase a good product to continue using. Go to FacialAdvice.com for more on this topic.

Reply:Use Aloe Vera Gel
Reply:Use a vitamin e base creamy petroleum jelly face cream.
Reply:use cocoa butter
Reply:You need proper skin care read some useful skin care tips and more on this site to help you
Reply:I use Aloe Vera gel/lotion and it works very well on my dry skin.
Reply:no jelly, but get some jergen lotion, i have had much success with a similar issue
Reply:Exfoliate gently with a warm wet washcloth, then use a gentle moisturizer like Eucerin. If this doesn't help, you should see your doctor. You're probably just going to look kind of silly for a few days! And don't go overboard with the acne cream next time!
Reply:OK umm don't use petroleum jelly any more it attracts dirt and it's not really good for the skin on your face. i recommend using st. Ives collagen elastin. it works really good in dry skin. wash your face then put the lotion on. give it two to three days
Reply:Maybe try body or face oil to start with then purchase a good product to continue using. Go to FacialAdvice.com for more on this topic.

Chicken skin?
I have a bad case of chicken skin wich is sorta like pimpals all over my arm but there more like goosbumps I hate it and I have used every cream imaginalble!!!! Help please
Chicken skin?
"Keratosis Pilaris (KP) is a very common skin condition often referred to as "chicken skin". If you have keratosis pilaris, you are not alone. Worldwide, keratosis pilaris affects an estimated 40 to 50% of the adult population and approximately 50 to 80% of all adolescents".
Use mild soaps or gentle body washes.
Apply moisturizers frequently -- For better absorption, apply to the skin while it's still moist after showering.
Take tepid showers rather than hot baths.
Light exfoliation with an abrasive pad may sometimes be of help, however scrubbing the areas of KP is not recommended, and can worsen the condition.
Keeping areas of KP exfoliated with a Salicylic Acid or AHA based lotion works best
I hope it would help you.
Reply:Here are some tratments I found, but maybe you should go to a doctor that specalizes in skin problems. Hope this website helps, because going to doctors is usually expensive, and a pain. Hope it clears up! It calles it keratosis pilaris on the site, that's the scientific name.
Reply:doctors's suck but they help if u dont wanna ruin ur skin my advice is stop using unprescribed creams go see a doctor!!
Reply:I used to get that sometimes when i was little. It went away after a while for me...I'm pretty sure thats what you're talking about.

Oily skin and make-up?
i have oily skin, the occasional spot here and there, im thinking of buying a powder foundation so i dont shine. but will powder be able to cover up well enough? i was thinking of using a powder or cream one but they already have oil in them so im not too keen on adding even more oil on! also,i heard you need to put on a "make up base" first so the powder sticks.....whats a "make up base" and how do i apply it etc?
Oily skin and make-up?
You don't really need a makeup base, but it does help the makeup stick. I use Smashbox Photo Finish, but I think it has oil in it. I have heard that they make an oil free one, but I have never seen it. Laura Mercier makes a nice primer, and Dr. Feelgood by Benefit is supposed to be nice.
Reply:I have combination oily-dry skin. I use a powder to control the oils and they cover pretty well. The best thing to do is go to Macy's and talk to one of the cosmetologists there. They can find the best product for your face. I use Sheisedo because in my opinion they have the best product I've tried so far.
Reply:Try the oil free makeup
Reply:I think you should try Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. It's oil free. I was told I should always wear a moisturizer with it or it will dry my skin, but I imagine since you have oily skin, you could just put it on and it would absorb the oil. I have combination skin and acne on my chin and I use this product and when it's on I don't even need powder. Even though I still notice the texture of the acne on my chin, the product does cover up probably 90% of the discoloration there which gets quite red. My boyfriend's mother told me that she didn't even realize I had acne on my chin when I was wearing the stuff until I mentioned it and she looked closer. The website says it is medium coverage, but it is really full coverage.

I've been wearing this now for 6 years, I love the coverage it gives, and it suits all skintypes, I have found in the summer months, that i get a bit of shine breaking through mid morning on my T-zone. I recently found that I felt it might be too heavy for my skin, and decided to try out another brand, ( Doir), but i very quickly went back to DW, I think its the best foundation on the market. You get very used to the great coverage it gives and nothing else can match up to it. The beauty rep at the EL counter told me its perfect for my skin, combination and my age! I often think i'd like to look a bit more natural, but i've found nothing else that gives the coverage like it does. I tried to use a paler shade but ended up looking ill. So I've decided to keep using my shade for now ( ivory beige) and review it when i get on another few years!!
I recommened it to my sister, a few of my friends and now my daughter wears it also and loves it, Its like an institution in our family!

This is the best long wearing foundation! It goes on a little thicker then other foundations but I apply it with a damp sponge and it gives a gorgeous natural finish.
It is the only foundation I have tried that controls shine all day. I wish the bottle had a pump though.

In my high school and college days I didn't have a lot of money to spend on makeup and bought other drugstore brands of foundation. This changed when I found myself wanting to look extra nice for a wedding and a friend's mom suggested I try the Estee Lauder Counter. I had a hard time with the price at first, but found Estee Lauder Double Wear to be well worth the money. It goes on smooth with great coverage, doesn't look cakey, and leaves my skin with an even, natural finish. On top of that it looked fresh ALL DAY. It didn't seem to fade or wear off or end up looking oily even after hours of wear. I love that it doesn't have any perfumey smell to it, and I have never seen my face look so flawless.
I have tried other brands since then just to see if paying even more for a foundation would provide even better results, but have returned to Estee Lauder Double wear. People always tell me I look several years younger than I am, and I think my foundation has a lot to do with it. An added bonus is the SPF, which I think is very important in preventing sun damage and wrinkles. This makeup lasts so long and the coverage is so good, that it is worth the extra money. Why not spend a little more on the main thing people notice about me EVERY DAY?? I highly recommend Estee Lauder Double Wear.

Is it my hormones? Skin of external genital area problem!?
I am 39 yrs old. Within the last 4-6 months I have experienced a change in my skin in the external genital area. I have even had (painful) skin crack and bleed, as if pulled too hard. Also this cracking has occurred as far as the crack of my butt. I have tried Zinc Oxide cream, OTC and RX yeast meds, dove soap, ivory soap, vaseline, and Gold Bond Powders. Nothing seems to change it. It goes away for a short time when I get my period. Everything heals and there is no irritation. What is going on with me? I have no STD's and am in a stable, monogamous relationship. I am wondering if it's hormones.
Is it my hormones? Skin of external genital area problem!?
You may want to go see the doctor. This sounds like the early stages of menopause. It is common for women to have dryness in the vaginal area during the early stages of menopause. Have your hormone levels checked. When your hormones are on a roller coaster ride, your "sex organs" are the ones that respond first. It could also be a number of things, but you should see your doctor.
Good luck.
Reply:Did you change detergents recently? It sounds a little like contact dermatitis. I'd have your dr. check it out.
Reply:it may be a fungus (ala jock itch) caused by moisture that lingers. you might try OTC antifungal ointment. or, it may go away in the winter, when less moisture gets trapped in that area.

Reply:I tried all kinds of things, I noticed the Neutrogena orange liquid soap that is clear works best. Everyone's skin is different though. Clearasil and Noxema feel good, but didn't work as well. I tried the proactive stuff, that stuff sometimes was too strong.

Vitamin E - does it really give u perfect skin???
I've used loads of different face creams over the years and some of them have cost me a fortune. A few months back I decided to get some vitamin E cream from a health store. It is a natural one with vitamin E, aloe vera and advocado oil..etc…It was really cheap and I can tell you, my skin has never been so great! I glow and have no more break-outs…It cost me a fraction of what my old cream cost. My friend is 43 and has used it for years..she has not one wrinkle and looks about 33!...why is Vitamin E so great?? Can anyone explain??
Vitamin E - does it really give u perfect skin???
in lay mans terms, Vitamin E cleans impurities in our body. an anti-oxidant our skin specially needs since it is constantly barraged by pollution, dirt etc.
think of it as vacuum cleaners inside that cleans your cell and make them healthier.
it a very good regimen to keep.
Reply:Vitamin E is naturally powerful and one of the best antioxidants that helps protect the skin against damaging environmental elements, such as the sun, pollution and cigarette smoke. It also helps to neutralise free radicals which are destructive molecules that attack cells and harm the skin. In general, it' an excellent moisturiser that improves the smoothness of the skin.
Reply:Eating lots of fruit and vegetables also makes your face glow and certain fruits and veg reduces wrinkles..! They all keep your skin looking young and fresh. You are what you eat.
Reply:Wow that's so cool. I'm sorry I can't answer your question but I see other people have and I just wanted to ask...what cream are you using and from where?? haha don't be greedy with the beauty tips!!
Reply:If you are normal to dry vitamin e will nourish and protect. If you are oily or acne prone take Alpha lipoic acid instead. Same effect as Vitamin E without the acne.
Reply:oh please tell us what your creams called lol!!
well im only young,
but i put vitamin e on my eyes every night,
it makes the fine lines from not getting enough sleep go away the next day.
Reply:vitamin E won't make your skin perfect because you have to use more than that. Here's an article about vitamins that are useful for skin: http://www.jurgita.com/articles-id247.ht...
using products that include these vitamins will make your skin look perfect.

Small white pigment spots on skin?
I started getting a few minute white pigment spots on my tanned skin, mainly on my lower arms and legs. I believe it is the Sun that is starting to affect my skin since I go to the beach every weekend. They are just minute, but maybe you can tell me of any treatment--cream or oral--that can help me rid them permanently. My Mom has the same thing, but they are a little bigger and are much more. Her skin is fairer than mine, and she has had them for years. I do not think it is Vitiligo or tinea versicolor, but I could be wrong. Someone recommended Selsun.
Small white pigment spots on skin?
If it's itchy and flaky, then yes it's Tinea Versicolor and not contagious like one person posted. They spread all on your body, some people it just spreads on their neck and shoulders, and upper back.
It's fungus from the sun.
Also yes selsium blue (the dandruff shampoo) will work massage some on your skin, let set for few hours each night until it goes away, it may not all go away ,but will keep it from spreading. Always use sunblock when going out in the sun for long periods of time.
Some people are just more sensitive to the sun than others.
Reply:tinea flava is a fungal disease that you've caught. probably you caught it from other person who has the same skin disease. the best way to remove it is to use antifungal cream or ointment. if you want to use herbs try to crush a garlic and put on the affected areas of your skin. dont use any personal belongings from your friends, you probably caught the disease from usng the towels of others ot shirt. always take a bath.

Skin problems?
About a month ago i found an itchy blister like bump on my left toe and when i popped it a clear liquid came out of it. The next week its all over my left toes and the next one beside it. Another week came it was all over my right middle finger and it continuously spreading. I do not know what it was. All i know is a part of my skin itches i will find a bump in it and when i pop it there will be liquid. Right now i am just relying on anti-itch cream. Maybe someone could help me with this before i go make a doctors appointment. thanks

What is the best way to clear skin from black heads?
I hate them! I seem to get them on my chin and nose. I have not gone to the dermatologist yet, it takes forever to get an appointment with my insurance! I have gone to get a few facials-I'm not sure if that is a smart move or not. They did suggest a face wash that will scrub my skin and remove the dry skin on the surface and leave me with soft, smooth skin. It does that...but I still have black heads. I know they are under the skin so I got one of those metal extractors. Are they safe to use? Will the make it worse?
What is the best way to get rid of those nasty lil buggers!? I was with dove soap every morning and the scrubby stuff at night and only moisturize once with aveeno face cream.
What is the best way to clear skin from black heads?
facials are good to get maybe every 6-8 weeks. i wouldn't push it though, and try not to schedule one a week or so before any big events. you definitely want a face wash with an exfoliant in it. something with little scrubbies to get all of the dead skin off. the extractor can be your best friend or your worst enemy. try this, keep it in your medicine cabinet and use it once a month to get all of the black heads out that you can see. make sure you clean it with some rubbing alcohol when you're done, you don't want last months yucky stuff getting on your skin next month. if you pull that thing out every day and use it you'll make a mess out of your face, i know i've done it myself. you also want to get a clarifying toner, or astringent. once a day, or every other day use a cotton ball to swipe it over the oiliest parts of your face, or where you see the most blackheads. it will get down deep into the pores. good luck!
Reply:tooth paste will dry them out!!

Reply:Have moisturing cream then mix it with brown sugar then scrub it throughly where your blackheads are.
I did it yesterday now i feel fresh!!
Reply:i have the same problem. There are salons that will get rid of all of them for you safely. If you are going to use the extractors make sure you wash it with alchol before and after each use and also put some peroxide on your nose when you are done...it dries it out really well.
goodluck. Oh i also use those clear strips for my nose and chin and that helps too

Help with Oily Skin and Acne Nothing seems to compeltely work!?
I have acne and very oily skin. I use something my doctor prescribed but I still have acne. I have a routine I do every day
In the morning I wash my face with St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Then I apply the topical gel my doctor prescribed. It has benzoyl peroxide and clidalacyne in it. (not sure if i spelled those right)
Should I give this medicine some time to work? I've been using the cream for about a month. I just started using apricot scrub with it this week.
Does anybody have suggestions or products to use with oily skin? Help please!
Help with Oily Skin and Acne Nothing seems to compeltely work!?
You have to attack acne where it starts, with your diet. For me, diet was the cause and solution. Topical medications fight the symptoms. Start by eliminating trans fats and eating more fruits and vegetables. Once you start cleaning up the inside of your body, by eating properly, the outside of your body (your skin) will be get cleaned up too. I started a website to document my problem and solution.
http://www.fredstown.com/acne.html
You might find it helpful to read my story. Just remember to eat an all natural/organic diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Stay away from processed foods. Use mild, all natural cleansers and don't pick at your face. Get lots of sleep and enough water for your body weight. Remember, clean body = clean skin. While you're waiting for your skin to clear, remind yourself that acne is a challenge that you will overcome soon. Once you're rid of it, tell all your friends how you did it. That's what I'm doing. God Bless.

In the morning I wash my face with St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Then I apply the topical gel my doctor prescribed. It has benzoyl peroxide and clidalacyne in it. (not sure if i spelled those right)
Should I give this medicine some time to work? I've been using the cream for about a month. I just started using apricot scrub with it this week.
Does anybody have suggestions or products to use with oily skin? Help please!
Help with Oily Skin and Acne Nothing seems to compeltely work!?
You have to attack acne where it starts, with your diet. For me, diet was the cause and solution. Topical medications fight the symptoms. Start by eliminating trans fats and eating more fruits and vegetables. Once you start cleaning up the inside of your body, by eating properly, the outside of your body (your skin) will be get cleaned up too. I started a website to document my problem and solution.
http://www.fredstown.com/acne.html
You might find it helpful to read my story. Just remember to eat an all natural/organic diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Stay away from processed foods. Use mild, all natural cleansers and don't pick at your face. Get lots of sleep and enough water for your body weight. Remember, clean body = clean skin. While you're waiting for your skin to clear, remind yourself that acne is a challenge that you will overcome soon. Once you're rid of it, tell all your friends how you did it. That's what I'm doing. God Bless.

Alt Med for Skin Yeast Infection?
I have a skin yeast infection under my breasts, in one under arm, the crease between my thighs and genital area (luckily NOT in my vagina) and the back of my knees.
I know it is a yeast infection, it has been looked at numourous times by my doc.
I just had a stem cell transplant over the summer. I am on about day +170. I am on immunosuppressants, and anit biotics, anti virals, and anit fungal as prophalactics. I am also on prednisone to control gvhd.
The anti fungal I am on is vfend(vorconozol). It is preventing an internal fungal infection, but doing nothing for the skin infection.
I have been advised that diflucan would much better treat the infection, but they dont want to switch my anti fungal because diflucan is not as accurate at preventing internal infections, which could be lethal for me at this point.
I am using lotrimin cream and rx nystatin powder under orders of my doc.
However, due to the prednisone, my infection isnt healing like it should.
Alt Med for Skin Yeast Infection?
I totally agree with all of these suggestions here, very good advice from everyone. I can't possibly imagine fruit free low fat yogurt with live acidophilus and bifidus cultures causing yeast as it is a yeast preventative. It's loaded with probiotics which replace those good antibodies killed off by the antibiotics. Just don't take them within at least two hours of each other. Antibiotics are very immune system boosting. Also a major note is to be careful what you are washing your clothing in some detergents especially those containing bleach and the use of bleach itself causes yeast to grow. A key place that you see these effects is anywhere the undergarments rub the skin in the creased areas, under the breasts, groin and crotch especially. Check out your local health food market for safer alternatives. My wife and I both use the GSE and Pao d'arco for all manner of fungal infections. My wife works for and cleans for a doctor and is always coming into contact with something. As for under your arms deodorants from a company named "Alvera" out of Kerrville, Texas. We have cancer patients use this product all the time and it has been suggested by oncologists as a safe product for them to use.
Reply:Grapefruit Seed Extract (grapeFRUIT not grape - it is a common mistake) is a natural yeast treatment. Dilute 10 drops of liquid GSE in about 6 oz of water. Moisten cotton ball and wipe on yeast affected areas. You can use it stronger if you want, but always dilute as it is harsh undiluted. Can also be used as a douche or gargle if necessary. You only need to use externally if not an internal yeast issue, but there could be. If so, you can take internally, but make sure that grapefruit products aren't counter-indicated with the other things you are taking. I have used it for yeast, and am amazed at how quickly it deals with it.
I'm sure someone has already told you, but just in case. Delete all sugars, especially refined, from the diet as they feed yeast.

Reply:Try some Pau D Arco. PAU D'ARCO is a natural grown herb that is derived from the inner bark of the Tabebuia Avellanedae or Tabebuia Impetiginosa (Taheebo) tree grown in South America. Pau d'Arco Tea has been used for many centuries by the Indio tribes of South America. The ancient Incas and Aztecs were probably the first to be familiar with the herbs healing powers. This discovery has led to an experimentation on people who have yeast or mold allergy, the assumption being that these same properties may discourage Candida Albicans {a common yeast} long suspected to be the causative factor in food allergy. Another researcher, Dr, Robert Owens, has found Candida Albicans to be correlated with "Chemical Hypersensitivity and other immunological-related disorders." The hope has been raised that not only might Pau D'Arco control the yeast and mold allergy, but also many other sensitivities as well.
Dr. Jeffrey Andersen, M.D., a Mill Valley, California health practitioner, treated a woman with a difficult yeast infection. "Two hours after using the tea as a douche the vaginal yeast infection was cleared up nicely," he says. Dr. Anderson's patients now begin drinking Pau D'Arco tea-1/2 to 1 cup tea per day, increasing to a maintenance dose of 4 cups per day in approximately 1 month.
Those who are using Pau D'Arco report that sometimes the symptoms become worse initially, This is attributed to "yeast die-off." The theory is that as the yeast die and are filtered into the bloodstream they cause allergic reactions. These reactions last only a short time.

Colloidal silver (CS) must use 99.99% or better silver in demineralized, distilled water. Concentrations of silver salts such as silver nitrate if introduced into the bloodstream (via nasal inhalation or injection or eye drops or drinking high concentrations of such mixtures) are known to cause argyria (an incurable skin discoloration condition) and this is why your water must start out as pure as possible (no other minerals, chlorine, iodine, fluoride, etc). If topically applied a 5 to 7 ppm CS shall kill yeast on contact.
Silver was used in photography because silver reacts with light. As such silver oxidizes quite easily. Bottled CS water is typically secured in air-tight glass bottles of a dark color to keep light from ruining the CS solution, however the CS won't keep for very long, and it is better to make it and quickly use it yourself to insure you are getting what you want.

Ozone chemically is O-three-minus, a gas. As such it is an oxidizing agent that has anti-microbial, and anti-fungal properties. It acts in a way that is similar to peroxide to fight infections. Pharmaceutical companies and their friendly North American medical minions argue against using ozone medically saying that it is a powerful oxidizing agent, however research has shown that natural mitigating factors are found in blood and other tissues that temper ozone's action on the body. If it were that powerful, substances such as ozone and peroxide would burn like acids right through tissues, but do not do so, and instead just kill pathogens and remove discoloration / stains / bad odors. Countries such as Germany, Japan, Cuba, etc, have clinics where pure medical grade ozone gas is injected directly into the blood stream at a careful slow rate. Various of these ozone treatments have been reported to have successfully treat HIV AIDS, and many other conditions.
http://video.google.ca/videosearch?num=2...
Ozone creation is done via a machine. The machine will typically bubble the generated ozone through an air-stone similar to those bubbler pumps used in fish tanks to oxygenate the water for tropical fish. Cold water holds ozone better. Ozone dissipates within a few minutes from water and so must be generated, then the water quickly used.
Many places use ozone combined with filtration to perform water purification for their drinking water supply. Typical consumer water ozonators cost between US$130 to US$600. The materials such as the pump materials, tubing or the bubbler stones used in the machines must not react with ozone. Stainless steel, silicone, or certain forms of glass might be used in this regard. Two popular ways of generating ozone are corona-discharge (CD) using just an air supply (consumer grade), and the other is to take pure oxygen and expose it to a bright ultraviolet light (medical grade). The protective ozone layer in the upper layers of earth's atmosphere is supported by oxygen exposure to UV rays from the sun.
Home made projects published on the internet explain that the experimenter had an electrical engineering background and was able to take a 5 to 15 kilovolt neon sign transformer, rectify the AC current, and expose carefully glass-spaced discharge electrodes to ionize a supply of air, then pump or blow the generated ozone through an output pipe or hose. Such a CD generation of ozone also ionizes other elements of the air supply such as nitrogen, and as such is not worthy as a source of medial grade ozone that can be directly injected into the blood stream.
Internet sources indicate that ozonating water is more powerful than boiling it when it comes to killing off pathogens. As such users of home consumer water ozonators use the freshly output water to wash meats, vegetables, salad greens, and so on prior to cooking or serving the food for meals. Medical ozone can be used to ozonate olive oil to create a powerful medicinal lotion for cuts.

Once you have a CS maker device, or a water ozonator machine, you can maintain a healthy life style by using the equipment in daily routine.

Skin problems?
About a month ago i found an itchy blister like bump on my left toe and when i popped it a clear liquid came out of it. The next week its all over my left toes and the next one beside it. Another week came it was all over my right middle finger and it continuously spreading. I do not know what it was. All i know is a part of my skin itches i will find a bump in it and when i pop it there will be liquid. Right now i am just relying on anti-itch cream. Maybe someone could help me with this before i go make a doctors appointment. thanks

What is the best way to clear skin from black heads?
I hate them! I seem to get them on my chin and nose. I have not gone to the dermatologist yet, it takes forever to get an appointment with my insurance! I have gone to get a few facials-I'm not sure if that is a smart move or not. They did suggest a face wash that will scrub my skin and remove the dry skin on the surface and leave me with soft, smooth skin. It does that...but I still have black heads. I know they are under the skin so I got one of those metal extractors. Are they safe to use? Will the make it worse?
What is the best way to get rid of those nasty lil buggers!? I was with dove soap every morning and the scrubby stuff at night and only moisturize once with aveeno face cream.
What is the best way to clear skin from black heads?
facials are good to get maybe every 6-8 weeks. i wouldn't push it though, and try not to schedule one a week or so before any big events. you definitely want a face wash with an exfoliant in it. something with little scrubbies to get all of the dead skin off. the extractor can be your best friend or your worst enemy. try this, keep it in your medicine cabinet and use it once a month to get all of the black heads out that you can see. make sure you clean it with some rubbing alcohol when you're done, you don't want last months yucky stuff getting on your skin next month. if you pull that thing out every day and use it you'll make a mess out of your face, i know i've done it myself. you also want to get a clarifying toner, or astringent. once a day, or every other day use a cotton ball to swipe it over the oiliest parts of your face, or where you see the most blackheads. it will get down deep into the pores. good luck!
Reply:tooth paste will dry them out!!

Reply:Have moisturing cream then mix it with brown sugar then scrub it throughly where your blackheads are.
I did it yesterday now i feel fresh!!
Reply:i have the same problem. There are salons that will get rid of all of them for you safely. If you are going to use the extractors make sure you wash it with alchol before and after each use and also put some peroxide on your nose when you are done...it dries it out really well.
goodluck. Oh i also use those clear strips for my nose and chin and that helps too

How do I heal the skin on my nose?
For the last three months there has been a place on my nose that has been scabbing over and then the scab comes off and then it re-scabs and then I try a cream and band-aids and it still does this, and then I use a different cream or ointment and it does it again, and on and on. The way it came about makes my feel that there's a deeper problem to this. It's not from a wart or a pimple, but the skin there became different of a different texture. No discoloration though. Then the initial chafing and scabbing. I would accept any answer. I'm curious about a homeopathic answer.
How do I heal the skin on my nose?
I recently discovered Melaleuca oil. It is a natural antiseptic. It is good for sooo many things. My first testimonial about it is when my son had a very itchy rash on his back and I decided to try the oil and it stopped itching almost instantly after I applied it. If you want to find it, it is on their website, melaleuca.com It is safe to put on open wounds, even in your mouth. It is in all of their products, including their toothpaste. If I were you, I would try it. It sounds kinda odd that the sore keeps coming back. Take care! By the way, I've heard that the oil helps rosacea.
Reply:May be you have Rosacea.

Reply:At night put a thick layer of zinc oxide on your nose and make sure to stay out of the sun or where sunscreen. I get a scab on my nose every year because of the sun. Hope this helps!

I have eczema around my mouth and my doctor prescribed me with hydrocortisone and e45 cream, but...?
He told me to use the hydrocortisone cream morning and night twice a day and i can use the e45 cream after it's gone. However, it's been 4 days now and i don't see a difference so i would like to use the e45 cream. (e45) it says that its recommended for eczema or chapped/dry/flakey skin and to be used 2-3 times a day. I want to use the cortisone WITH the e45 however i don't know how much of a gap i should leave between using the two. Like, should i wait 3 hours after applying the cortisone on my face THEN use the e45? please help!
I have eczema around my mouth and my doctor prescribed me with hydrocortisone and e45 cream, but...?
hydrocortisone - once in the morning like when u wake up wash your face and stuff.
- before you go to sleep
e45 - around lunch time... but after you eat
- around 6ish
hope it works out all the best : )

it seems to function normally down below.....and i dont itch except for a jock itch here and there.
the doctor said when he examined that it is unusual but not abnormal....he said he would find out more but wouldnt refer me at this time.....he also didnt think it was a skin disorder like lichen sclerosis or balantis....but he wasnt sure.
i have another appointment to see him after xmas.
i suggested canisten cream, he perscribed it, but it hasnt helped or cleared up the cracks or fissures.
im starting to get anxious about this now and what it could be....and how the cracks and fissures in my skin can be cleared so i have smooth skin again.

Combination skin?
I have combination skin and am wondering if it's a good idea to use a non pore-clogging lotion or cream on my face at night that's really moisturizing so that the dry areas of my face aren't red and irritated. If so, do you know of any good products like that?
Combination skin?
the great thing about moisturizer is you don't have to put it all over your face, just the areas that need it. i have similar problems with my face from time to time, and something that I've found that works very well is Eucerine redness relief night cream. it's inexpensive at any drugstore (under$10) and works great. i get dry spots on my nose and above my eyebrows, so i just rub a little on in those places, and in the morning, presto! good as new!
Reply:try using olay. there are these little pads/sponges that are really good! i don't know the exact name but you can find it in longs or walgreens or any other drugstore.
Reply:umm my used to use olay, sry i forgo the name, just go into a store n look aorund!
Reply:You need to correct your PH of your skin. I have horribly sensitive and combo skin. I recently found (after tons of research) a great product. The company is called Arbonne. I loved it so much I started selling to my friends. The skin care balances your PH and is self adjusting. It's botanically based and doesn't use chemicals or dyes. It sounds perfect for you!

Exfoliate- http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetail... (Don't use it daily, only once a week with your facial)
Mask- http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetail...
-Morning and night (before going to bed): cleanse, tone, and moisturize. 2-3 times a week include steaming (in this order: cleanse, tone, steam, tone, moisturize).
-Once a week: cleanse, tone, steam, exfoliate, tone, *extractions, tone, mask, tone, moisturize.
*Don't begin doing extractions until you have been following all of the other steps for at least 2 weeks, so that the steaming will have caused the blackheads to begin to soften.
-How to: *
Cleanse -use a small amount and lather with water, apply using circular motions all over face and neck, repeat if you have makeup on
Tone - Squeeze a small amount onto the cottonball and wipe all over face and neck

Exfoliate - follow the same steps as in cleansing, but don't repeat
Extractions - place the hoop (or eye) over the blemish (or blackhead) so that the blemish is in the center of the hoop, apply slight pressure and use rocking and rolling movements all around the blemish (don't use so much pressure that you create indentions or bruises on your skin), if and when the blockage comes out of the pore, wipe away with a cottonball that has been dampened with toner
Mask - apply mask evenly on face and neck, leave for 10-15 minutes, remove by draping a hot towel over your face, then wiping away
Moisturize - apply a small amount on face an neck and massage until it's absorbed
*In all of these steps, always avoid the eye area.
-Also include a fairly healty diet rich in vitamins and minerals, plenty of water, and sufficient exercise* in each day, as all of these things not only have a positive effect on your body, but your skin as well.

Vitamin E - does it really give u perfect skin???
I've used loads of different face creams over the years and some of them have cost me a fortune. A few months back I decided to get some vitamin E cream from a health store. It is a natural one with vitamin E, aloe vera and advocado oil..etc…It was really cheap and I can tell you, my skin has never been so great! I glow and have no more break-outs…It cost me a fraction of what my old cream cost. My friend is 43 and has used it for years..she has not one wrinkle and looks about 33!...why is Vitamin E so great?? Can anyone explain??
Vitamin E - does it really give u perfect skin???
in lay mans terms, Vitamin E cleans impurities in our body. an anti-oxidant our skin specially needs since it is constantly barraged by pollution, dirt etc.
think of it as vacuum cleaners inside that cleans your cell and make them healthier.
it a very good regimen to keep.
Reply:Vitamin E is naturally powerful and one of the best antioxidants that helps protect the skin against damaging environmental elements, such as the sun, pollution and cigarette smoke. It also helps to neutralise free radicals which are destructive molecules that attack cells and harm the skin. In general, it' an excellent moisturiser that improves the smoothness of the skin.
Reply:Eating lots of fruit and vegetables also makes your face glow and certain fruits and veg reduces wrinkles..! They all keep your skin looking young and fresh. You are what you eat.
Reply:Wow that's so cool. I'm sorry I can't answer your question but I see other people have and I just wanted to ask...what cream are you using and from where?? haha don't be greedy with the beauty tips!!
Reply:If you are normal to dry vitamin e will nourish and protect. If you are oily or acne prone take Alpha lipoic acid instead. Same effect as Vitamin E without the acne.
Reply:oh please tell us what your creams called lol!!
well im only young,
but i put vitamin e on my eyes every night,
it makes the fine lines from not getting enough sleep go away the next day.
Reply:vitamin E won't make your skin perfect because you have to use more than that. Here's an article about vitamins that are useful for skin: http://www.jurgita.com/articles-id247.ht...
using products that include these vitamins will make your skin look perfect.
