Little zits on forehead...help please?
Exfoliate! Exfoliate! Exfoliate!





Acne is sometimes caused by dead skin cells getting cought in the hair follicles and then becoming infected.





It is recommended to exfoliate 2 - 3 times a week. This will help clear away the dead skin cells and help with cellular regeneration. I recommend the Clean and Clear "steam" in shower facial. Its a new product and is a chemical and manual exfoliant in one.





Also, if you have bangs, the grease in your hair can cause you to break out in a paticular area. Keep your hair clean, pin your bangs back when you can, especially when sleeping.





You can use a medicated acne gel or lotion on problem areas. Anything with salyacidic acid (its probably not spelled like that but that's close) or benzoyl peroxide will help clear up the existing pimples and prevent new ones from forming.





A medicated face wash with those ingredients can also be used





I hope this helps, feel free to contact me with anymore questions


HELP!! Blackheads!!??

Ive had blackheads for years and im sick of them...they are all over my nose and sometimes by the nose aswell...it seems like right after i push them out...theres more right back there...what can i do to prevent/get rid of blackheads...what methods or products should i get??
HELP!! Blackheads!!??
Ok i got same prolem but white heads, lol. Ok so here is what u do. There are speical lotions u can use such as skin rejuvinator it slowly kills them. DO NOT POP THEM!!!!! it causes skin irritation and u may get bactieral infection
HELP!! Blackheads!!??
Buy a loofah for your face, or a buff puff use it once daily. Bi ore pore strips, a face toner (pore refiner) and facial cleanser for clear skin. Wash your face twice a day, morning and evening. Use the buff puff one time with a face soap, and the facial cleanser the other. Keep at it, they will eventually fade.
Reply:Use a decent blackhead cleansing prouduct and be sure to wash your face frequently like 3 times a day.. blackheads are only a build up of dirt etc, If they persist go and see a skin doctor and ask for something to help you with these!
Reply:don't spend a ton of money on products. First thing, you are the only one that notices them on your face, second, if you decide to pop them be sure to wash your hands and face after. Also, popping them will make them more noticeable, so unless they are causing discomfort, leave them alone and just wash your face a couple of times a day.
Reply:try paula's choice:

REALLY great for sensitive skin (no perfume or dyes) and i really recommend the 2% AHA lotion (also comes in liquid or gel, really just a texture preference). i had BILLIONS of blackheads on my nose just a few months ago and i have SO much less now, and they are also less noticeable. AHA (salicylic acid) is an amazing exfoliator and works great on blackheads. try not to pick at them too much!


good luck
Reply:wash face with water and sugar
Reply:I use clean and clear morning burst face wash everyday.. dont really have a whole lot of problems with any kind of acne! love the stuff! I feel dirty if i dont use it now!





Definitely should try it. its somewhere between $4 and $7 at CVS
Reply:I have the solution





Get a face washer


Put in boiling water


hold it there for 5 minutes


then put on moisturizer


Then try squeezing them
Reply:This should help. Rub oatmeal paste on face,leave it to dry for 15 minutes and scrub well before washing off with cold water. Check out http://useinfo-blackhead.blogspot.com/ for more useful tips to control blackheads.


My sister needs some serious help shaving?

when my sister shaves her armpits, you can still see black dots where she shaves, even though she uses shaving creme ?

Reply:her hair follicles are probably pretty big and probably has dark underarm hair
Reply:OMG i have the same problem. Sorry but i still have no idea how to help it. I'm gonna watch this question to see if there r any good answers. It drives me insane. I feel so insecure about lifting my arms. :(
Reply:WAX INSTEAD


SOME PEOPLE HAPPEN TO BUT IT EASIER WAX COZ DOESN'T LEAVE MARK AND WONT GROW BACK TILL 5-15 DAYS
Reply:Use nair it works!
Reply:do not only shave in one direction, the hair on the arm pits is not like legs, that grow in one direction, arm pit hair grows in all directions. tell her hold her arm straight up and shave up, down and side ways. that should do the trick...
Reply:i had that same problem.


sometime it just takes you going over the same spot over and over and over and over again because you razor hasnt caught the hairs completely whether youre using a new razor or not.


but if she doesnt want to keep on shaving her armpits in the same place she should definetly wax.
Reply:Who cares? "Your sister" should just grow her armpit hair out like the French women.
Reply:tell her to use wax... she won't have to worry about this problem for 3-4 weeks... ;)
Reply:Her hair is black and coarse - that's going to remain a problem. Best thing to do is to either wax (ouch!!) or use Nair (or another same-type product). That will help a little, and the hair grows back a little slower and not as black since it's not blunt.





Once she's able, she might want to consider laser treatments - they are expensive but they will kill the hair and it won't be back.
Reply:leave it girls look hot with underarm hair.









































nah! f**k that.





























wax idk





e pen
Reply:Shave up then down then side ways, it helps get the hairs that grow in different directions, also get a good razor with 3 or more blades
Reply:She can use the Dove or Nivea deodorant which helps with those black dots.

I dont tan easily so I am looking for a spray that I can use....Jergens natural glow didnt work well for me..it made me blotchy :(

I'm using it to get a bit tanner for graduation

But..It's a lotion..smells great tho!!

Theres no such thing as a "good" spray tan.





They all make you look worse then the actual tan, either orange or blotchey.





No tan is better then a real one, especially fake ones.





Trust me, people will notice its fake.
Reply:the new jergens express lotions work REALLY good! you'll have great color from the first application. the only thing is it smells great when you put it on, but once the color develops, it has that frito smell... ugh!
Reply:Yea I tried Jergens and it didn't work too well. I know you said spray but sprays never work for me. If you want something that works like a dream try DOVE ENERGY GLOW BEAUTY BODY LOTION. It slowly gives you a tan and I've never seen anything that looks so natural! I'll never use anything else!


How do you prevent those deep unpoppable zits???

You know those "cyst zits" that u can push and push and nothing happens and some get quite big...what causes these? and how can i prevent hem??
How do you prevent those deep unpoppable zits???
The same way you prevent other ones....
How do you prevent those deep unpoppable zits???
Hi...I'm not sure what exactly causes them but i used to have LOADS of trouble with acne. I went to my Doctor and she said it's when a pore gets really clogged. Heads appear because the bacteria in the zit reaches the surface but sometimes it doesn't. Try not to squeeze it too much cause then they get extremely painful, and will just make it worse. Try using a cleanser with the special beads in it that help clear dead skin and all the dirt and gross junk that gets on your skin, about 3 times a week. It helped me...but I had bad acne so I ended up going on medication for it and now I'm almost completely pimple free! Yay!
Reply:wash your face/exposed body parts three times a day with Dial soap.


take a shower every other day otherwise you just wash away the preventive phase of the dial soap.
Reply:By lots of experience I have found that pressing on them will just make them BIGGER. You've got to be strong (I know it's hard) and not touch them. Try putting straight alcohol on them instead with a clean cotton or Q tip. The more you touch them the bigger they will fester.


Drink lots of water to flush the toxins out of your body.
Reply:go on birth control (i noe ur a dude, but it helps evry1). They are really good for this kind of zit, because they are mainly caused by hormones. Boobs may be a side effect if your a dude.


Summer time help!?

if you have only a little bit of extra weight and you want your stomach and thighs firmer what would you do to make it go away faster...like i have this wierd fat thing right under my ribcage thats small and then a little roll of fat under that and it looks wierd..im not everly large just out of shape...so what would work fast
Summer time help!?
im the same, if you find a good way please let me know as i am finding it hard! apparently your stomach is the hardest to lose weight.
Summer time help!?
I would actually recomend buying a pilates tape. It works wonders for me. Unfortunatly I haven't been able to do pilates for a while because of so much homework I get assigned each night. but really you can lean your whole body doing pilates. I saw results the first time I did them.
Reply:ok this is gonna sound weird but i had the same problem. I did this routine everyday after school and it rele worked. First wat u do is u take a stick, or a broom or something straight and u prop it up 2 1/2ft off and parralel to the ground. Then u jump over it but u have to face sideways. You go for....


~15seconds-----take a 30sec break


~30seconds------ take a 45 second break


~45seconds------take a minute break


~1minute----------take a 1min break


~1min 15sec-----take a 1min break


~1min 30sec-----take a 1min break


******Then as this gets easier up the time u r doing it and decrease ur rest time


Then just do some sit-ups and crunches after to help flaten things out





Good luck and as weird as it sounds.... IT WORKS
Reply:Eat a healthier, lighter diet.


There's really no way to target one area of fat, you need to lose some weight all over and then exercise regularly.


When you do exercise, running is good and also doing some sculpting exercise videos that target abs and thighs.


If you really make an effort then you should see results quickly.


How long after you tan will the tan have results?

It depends what kind of tan you have:





Tanning lotion: After about 3 hours and after you take a shower.





Spray tan: After a few hours, but the next day is when you really see the true results.





Tanning bed: Right away.





Natural sun tan: Right away...go inside to really get a good look at how well you tanned...the tan may fade a little after a day or two.

How much is too much moisturizing?

I swim 6 days a week for 2 hours each, and I have this new moisurizer. How many times a day do you think would be bad for my skin(on my face)? Or is it possible for it to be bad for your skin?





I also have very dry skin and unless I put some lotion on, you can SEE the dry flakes from across the room.





Plus if you know a REALLY good brand could you recommend it?
How much is too much moisturizing?
i dont think there can be too much moisturizing unless u cant get the moisturizer to soak in :P
How much is too much moisturizing?
All that swimming would dry your skin out. You can't over moisterize if you have dry skin. Moisterizing is very important actually. I am an Arbonne consultant so believe me. For you I can suggest a body cream or body butter instead of a regular lotion. You will stay moisterized for a signifacantly longer time. Try to apply the body cream in the morning, any time that you feel dry during the day and before you go to bed at night. You probably would be satisfied with just morning and night if you use the body butter. Also, you may want to try exfoliatind some of that dry dead skin off with some kind of body scrub that has the beads in it. You will find that you will have much smoother softer skin. Now, since I am an Arbonne consultant might I suggest that you purchase some of our products and I have just the thing you need. We have an entire line for teenagers with scents specifically for your personality. The teen line is called F.Y.I. For body butter buy our cream called "Bodybetter" body cream and for exfoliator try our F.Y.I "Sugarslush" body scrub. I hope this helps you. Please choose best answer I could use the points. Thankyou so much.


Has anyone ever used coffee for cellulite?

but instead try

its available at drugstores





it is more likely to work
Reply:Hi,





Yes, I do these procedures once in a while. Bu you also have to:


- avoid fast food and sodas


- massage your problem areas


- scrub your problem areas


- use a contrast shower


- Go for some body wrapping procedures.





Combined all together, these will make your cellulite invisible in several weeks - guaranteed! :). I work on it all the time and nobody knows I got cellulite.

Belly button piercing?

Belly button piercing?
tacky
Reply:okay definitely not 6 months! holy crap.. no.. like 2 weeks.. then you can change the ball in a month and change the ring in 4 months..





i got mine done 2 years ago and my friend JUST got hers done.
Reply:you should be able to swim around the same time you can change it for the first time, so about 8 weeks. but dont do it if the piercing is irritated in any way, cause the belly button is very sensitive.
Reply:yep the person who said 8 weeks is the closest to correct.


but if it is infected or just not looking or feeling right if it is still unusually red or irritated you should probably skip this one.


i got mine done again about a week ago and thats why i did it in winter (in australia) because i wouldnt be going to the beach quite as often.


whoever says like 6 months is just being protective.


they're being really safe, and in a way the are right, but you will be fine in about 4-8 weeks or so.


just be sure ou still regularly clean it.


=]
Reply:2 weeks, most def. nothing crazy. as long as its not all red and sore, jump in!
Reply:Your stupid.
Reply:navel (belly button) piercings take about 1 year to heal and you cant swim for 2 months after getting one. (it will dry out in pool water because of chlorine and cause infection and maybe even rejection. and in ponds or lakes or the ocean you can get lots of bacteria in it, etc. and get infection/rejection.)





you need to clean it everyday with something like H2Ocean but NEVER peroxide or rubbing alcohol which will dry it out and can cause infection and/or it will reject, which will leave a really and scar.


sea salt soaks a few times a day also work.
Reply:The recommended time to wait is 2-3 months.


But if you MUST go swimming then cover the piercing with a waterproof bandage and go swimming.


Clean the piercing AS SOON as you get out of the water.

13 year old...... belly button piercing wanted!! ahhh what do i do?

hello,


my girl wants her belly button pierced shes 13 years old.... shes been asking for 3 and a half months I told her if she wanted it done her grades would have to come up. She made me this power point and everything on where she wanted to get it done and like who the guy was and him nams, town and like how long hes been piercing people..... its was kinda cool...


okay so shes brings a couple test back and her grades had came up


today we went into town to buy her shoes but she wanted to go down the street more.. i said no because i was tired


when i got into the car i clued into why she wanted to walk down there because thats where the piercing shop is..


i said no then we drove home and she hasnt really talked to me since...


so i dont know what i should do?
13 year old...... belly button piercing wanted!! ahhh what do i do?
do not get it done. i got it done and it got so infected i ended up in the er and almost died. it was horrible DO NOT GET IT DONE!!!!!
13 year old...... belly button piercing wanted!! ahhh what do i do?
Make a date for her to get it done. Why don't you go with her tomorrow to get it done? Personally if I were a mom there's no way in hell I'd agree to something so trashy for a 13 year old. But you already told her yes, so don't be a liar, then she really won't respect you.
Reply:you can't get your belly button pierced until your 18!


what kind of mom are you telling her she can get it?
Reply:honestly, be strong when shes mad when you say no, and dont give in. belly button rings are trashy. i really really really wanted one when i was about that age (now im 19) and my parents refused. now im so relieved they rejected the idea, because i realize how gross they are.
Reply:Your daughter is 13 years old. Do you honestly think you should give her a piercing just because she wants one? Think over your parenting skills and values before you let your daughter's behavior influence you.
Reply:I got a belly button piercing when I was 17 and it was the worst thing I've ever done. I kept getting nasty infections and had to have it removed.

You're an idiotic mom. You should've clued her in yourself that you'd take her there soon, that you were just too tired to take her right there.
Reply:take her to get it done, it really is not that big of a deal, it is only a peircing, and you will be known as "the cool mom" and you can also have more gift ideas for x-mas and birthdays.

Reply:13 is WAY too young for that. Only trash would let her 13 year old daughter get her belly button pierced. Be an adult and say NO.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
Reply:13 years old is way too young.you need to tell her to cool it.either she can bring her grades way up or no piercing.that's what you need to tell her.if she's doing well in school, not getting into trouble, and showing maturity, then you should let her get one.there are alotta risks but if you're sure that it's ok then let her.
Reply:stf up other people theres nothing wrong with getting your belly button pierced its just like your ears but another body part!! gosh!! anyways your a cool mom for letting her do it shes gonna love you for it so just suprise her one day pick her up for school and say were going somewhere and then take her to get it done! OMG she would love you!!!! u guys are liars my friend got it done at 14 her dad took her you dont have to be 16 so get your facts straight
Reply:You kind of have no choice. Your word is your bond and in this case you definitely must keep your word! You should of just been honest from the beginning and said "No, I don't agree with it!" Just be glad it's only her belly-button she wants pierced. Who knows, if you let her go through the pain maybe she wont ask you if she can get anything else pierced let alone a tattoo! I'm 32 know but if I were that age and my mom said what you said and not stick to it even after I kept my end of the bargain, I would never trust anything she ever said again!
Reply:jeez just give her the dam piercing already
Reply:get a doctor to do it. if the doctor refuses, you are off the hook
Reply:just let her get it done.. whats it gunna hurt? she did what you asked her to do.. now she should be rewarded..








i dont know why people make such a big deal about belly button rings.. because if you end up not wanting it any more.. you just take it out..








and in this case it looks like your daughter has done some research.. she's been patient.. she's brought her grades up.. and done what you've asked her to do.. so to me.. i think it would be alright
Reply:If you are really okay with her getting it done then make a special time for you guys to go out and do it. If you don't she may end up finding someone shady who will do it to a 13 year old.





If you don't want her to, give her some legit reasons. Show her pictures of what has gone wrong with other people and tell her what it would look like after pregnancy, gaining weight, etc.
Reply:OKAY check it out. If youre daughter was mature enough to present her ideas throughly, explain why shed like one, and even brought the grades up to earn it, I say do it. The ages of young girls getting their navels pierced is younger and younger, and this way she will trust to be able to come to you if she wants another piercing, or worst, a tattoo! Imagine if she wanted a tattoo, and you didnt let her get the piercing; the shed think "shell never say yes! Ill just have the hoodlum in my math class do it, he says he does tem all the time with a needle and pen ink"





!!!! so teahc her that if shes come at you like an adult and can compromise so can you. I say maybe limit the jewerly she can use, like buy her a solid gold one so she doesnt get an infection, and maybe for every "A" she earns on a test, youll buy her prettier ones.





:) hope this works out for you, being a child is hard these days.
Reply:LOL





"She's gunna love you for letting her get it done.."





How stupid. Be a good parent and say no. Don't be stupid and allow her to walk over you. YOU MAKE THE DECISIONS AS LONG AS SHE IS IN YOUR HOUSE. Tell her that she can wait until graduation day. She won't want it by then anyways.





I had 0 gauges - now that I think about it... It wasted a lot of money, stunk real bad, and was pointless. Not to mention it hurt. I dont care now that I did it... but if my holes wouldn't have healed to be normal sized piercings, Id regret it.
Reply:I want a lot of piercings, but I'm waiting until I'm sixteen- as most wont even touch a minor even with permission- unless i'm not allowed, then 18


I'd advise her to wait, especially since shes gonna be growing in her teen years and it will probably stretch out anyway
Reply:You already promised her that if her grades came up that you would let her get it done. You should have said "well, if you bring you grades up then I will consider it" but since you already told her then you really should not break your promise, it's teaching her how you handle the situation too. Belly Button piercings can easily get infected. A 13 year old may not be responsible to be able to take care of it. It has to be cleaned with specific things and you can't touch it or play with it no matter how much you are tempted to do so. Also, A belly button ring on a girl is for only a couple of reasons that she wants it. 1. "everyone else has one why can't I get one?" 2. She wants the guys to see it, teen boys think that a naval piercing is very hot- it's to reel the guys in. You don't want something that is going to attract everyones eyes to your daughters stomach do you? If that is where you want people looking at your daughter then ok. But hear me when I say this- everyone she knows, or talks to is going to see this ring because she will show it off to everyone even the guys she likes. but you shouldn't break you promise. hmmm... what a predicament you are in. maybe you can change her mind to and ear piercing or something. Tell her "well I am very proud that you brought your grades up, but I was thinking and I would much rather you get your cartilage pierced" or something like that. Please vote best answer, I could use the points.
Reply:When I was 13, I wanted one too, I am now 14 and I have thought about it a lot, and I changed my mind, I guess it was one of those stages where you really badly want something and its kind of a spur of the moment.





I think she should show her interest in it for at least a year because at her age, I don't think it is really suitable and I know if I got one when I wanted it, I would seriously have regrets because now, I don't want one anymore.





Also try to tell her that, she is still very young and even though she will most likely doubt it, you are not really old enough to make proper decisions and realize the consequences until your about 15-16 ish.
Reply:Well, first off, you shouldn't let her have it. No one's going to see it. You don't let your daughter walk around with her stomach exposed do you? Hopefully not.


You're supposed to be the adult here. Your daughter will get over this in a day or two. It seems like the biggest deal in the world to her now, but in a week, she'll be completely over it. She's young.





If you do decide to let her have it, don't go to some store that you know nothing about (besides what your daughter, who, since she wants the piercing is biased, tells you). Have it done by a doctor at a hospital or other medical office. She might complain about having to wait for the appointment or whatever, but she'll appreciate the fact that she doesn't get Staff or Mercer.
Reply:heyy i got my belly peirced wen i was either 12 or 13 :) its never been infected or had ANY problems.


let her get it done,,but just tell her that she HAS to look after it and warn her that it could get infected.





if u sed no,,she might try and do it herself. and that would more likely get infected and stuff.





seems like she really wants it done! getting better grades and making a powerpoint! that is so kool i think she really deserves to get it done! and its not trashy like ppl are saying ! no one will even see it exept if shes wearing bathers or sumthing.





let her get it done and if u dont like the look of it or sumthing she can take it out and it will grow over :) no problems at all !
Reply:well i think u should tell her she cant get it because that age is way too young to get her belly button pierced.If she does get pierced it can be painful after awhile and because of her young age it can also have an affect on her.What you can do is sit down with her and promise her that when she reaches about 15 or 16 she can get her belly button pierced.I dont have mine pierced but i think thats the best answer.
Reply:honestly and im telling you from what my body piercer told this girl and she was the same as your daughter age and she told this little girl that she wouldn't pierce her navel cause she was too young and her body isn't done developing and that she had to wait and till she was 16 cause your body stop developing! most body piercers won't pierce a girl under 13 they tell them to wait and till they are at least 16!


i have mine done but then again im 24 and i do what i want! i went and got mine done and i came home and i showed my mom and she was like ok and she said that i knew you get it done but i didn't know when!





just remember it takes a yr to fully heal


# Bacterial Infections


Infections are perhaps the most common complication with body piercings. Symptoms include increased pain, increased redness and an increase in the amount and thickness of the discharge. The infected discharge is usually thick and yellow, green or grey and may have an unusual odour. Consult with your physician or piercer and do not remove the jewelry until you seek advice. Removing the jewelry can allow the piercing to close over the infection and create an even worse problem: a closed abscess beneath the skin.


# Cleaning Agents


Never use alcohol swabs, Betadine, hydrogen peroxide, methylated spirit, or tea tree oil to clean your piercing. These do kill bacteria but they also destroy your healing flesh. Dead flesh then becomes easily infected.


# Clothing


Tight clothing rubbing against your piercing is not recommended鈥攊t disrupts blood flow and can delay healing. It also increases the chance of your jewelry 鈥榩arking鈥?or folding to one side, especially with rings.


# Exercising


Take care on hot days and when exercising as sweat tends to collect in your navel. Wash or soak the navel afterwards.


# Lavender Oil


This essential oil lubricates the piercing and is reputed to reduce scar tissue and prevent tightening. It must be used in its dilute form, a drop applied to each side of the piercing with a cotton bud, the excess removed, and then the jewelry moved back and forth through the piercing. The correct dilution is 10 drops lavender oil in 15mls grapeseed or sweet almond oil.


# Pregnancy


You can continue to wear your navel piercing up till about the sixth month of pregnancy. Once the skin begins to stretch the jewelry should be removed or upsized. If necessary the piercing can be reopened at a later date.





# Smoking





1. Smoking slows healing by suppressing your immune system and blood circulation to the skin.


2. In a navel piercing it will add months to the healing time.


3. If you cannot stop smoking then you should reconsider having any piercings.





# Swimming


Swimming is not prohibited while your piercing is healing, but you should only swim for short periods in pools that are thoroughly chlorine- or ozone-treated. Do not let your skin become wrinkly and soft. If you swim in the ocean or waterways, do not swim after heavy rain. Storm water run-off often contains bacteria and parasites











HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO GET PIERCED?





At age 16, you are able to get most facial and body piercings without an adult to sign for you. If you鈥檙e 15 or younger, some piercings may be performed with a legal guardian鈥檚 consent. They must be able to prove that they are legally responsible for you. EVERYONE is required to complete a disclaimer form prior to any body piercing procedure. It is your responsibility to inform us of any medical conditions which may be affected by the procedure.





The bottom line is ethics. We here at Vogue Body Piercing believe in providing the safest possible piercing experience to our clients. One thing we have discovered is that younger people have a tendency to not take the advice and suggestions of their piercers seriously. Because of this we have established the following policy:





We will not under any circumstance perform piercings (other than earlobes) for anyone under 13. Our cutoff age for navel piercings is 15 - if pierced while the body is still growing and developing, navel piercings in particular are extremely prone to extended healing, migration, and possible rejection. We want to give you an amazing piercing, not a problem!





We will pierce earlobes on children under 13, but will not pierce infants or very young children, full stop. We don't have a set minimum age, but it's usually advised to wait until the child is at least 5 or 6 years old. They must be maure enough to understand the procedure about to take place and the responsibility the piercing will entail. If the child, parent, and body piercer are still comfortable at this point we will proceed.





We will not under any circumstances perform nipple or genital piercings, scalpelling, dermal punching, or surface piercings on anyone under 18 years of age, for legal and ethical reasons.





Valid picture ID is required. For the parent it must be a government issued ID card. Minors do not always have one of these, however. In those cases we can accept a student body card, bus pass, or possibly a class photo or school yearbook as long as there is a picture verifying their identity. In conjunction to this we will need age verification such as a birth certificate, some medical insurance cards, Centrelink documentation, or school paper work.





The adult signing for the minor must be a legal guardian with proof of relationship. If the IDs have differing last names we will need additional paperwork verifying guardianship. Medicare cards, custody papers and legal name change documents are some good examples of this.
Reply:well, you need to be 16 because many piercers wont do it to anyone younger, thats with a parent. you need to be 18 with ID for no parents to be there.





you have to be 16 because your still growing A LOT at this point and it will most likely reject or grow out at this stage. when you are 16 you slow down growing and will be ready for one physically.








also you need to clean it everyday with something like H2Ocean but NEVER peroxide or rubbing alcohol which will dry it out and can cause infection and/or it will reject, which will leave a really and scar.


sea salt soaks a few times a day also work.





navel (belly button) piercings take about 1 year to heal and you cant swim for 2 months after getting one. (it will dry out in pool water because of chlorine and cause infection and maybe even rejection. and in ponds or lakes or the ocean you can get lots of bacteria in it, etc. and get infection/rejection.)


theres always chance of rejection if it is cleaned all the time as well, especially if you bump it.





i would do more research on them, or you can feel free to ask me any questions if you like (just email me)


but your daughter really cant get it done this young anyways, plus MANY 13-year-olds want them, then later decide they dont.


i would tell her all this (and more) information on them as well.





also, if you take it out to let it heal, it will leave a scar.
Reply:Well how mature is your daughter?


If she's pretty mature then let her get the piercing.


She made an effort and did her research and everything so you should let her get it done.


Lots of 13 year olds get their navel pierced, so it's completely normal.

How to get a dark tan fast?

i dont tan too easily, and my tans usually fade really fast...how do i get a dark, even long lasting tan?





*no self tanners or tanning beds i want a natural tan


*also any products to help me?
How to get a dark tan fast?
go to the lake, go canoing, anythign like that. just make sure you use sunblock! youll still tan! my bf is the same way as you. If you get some sun by the water, the water reflects more sun onto you, so like its tanning twice as much, naturally. :)

Has anyone used Tretinoin and/or finacea?

I've never had perfect skin, ever, but makeup has always made it a little more live-able, i mean it was never too bad, but in the past 3 months, it has gotten so horrible. My skin started breaking out alot and frequently, like all the time. Literally. And it looks so bad! :( Especially around like my mouth, nose, and forehead. Sooo doctor prescribed tretinoin cream and finacea for me. I've been alternating them ever since March 24th, so for example; sunday, tretinoin.. monday, finacea.. tuesday, tretinoin.. etc.. my skin cleared up pretty fast, then started getting worse, but I expected that since she told me I'd get worse, before better.. but it's June now.... and I am breaking out just as often as before.. and I stuck with my regimen.. soo I've been eating lots of vegetables and drinking plenty of water and such, but no luck..





Has anyone used these medications and had good results? If so.. how many months did it take to get it under control?


HomemadeTend skin as deodorant?

I have recently bought tend skin for those unsightly ingrown hairs and razor burn I have been "blessed" with. It works great. I have even started using it as my deodorant. I found the home made recipe to make tend skin, but does anyone know how well it works? And has anyone used the homemade version as their deodorant? Tend skin is such a great product, which is why it costs $45 for a 16 oz bottle. As much as I need to use it I cant afford to spend that much. Anyone have any input?


Lip piercing too low?

i asked my piercer to not pierce my snakebites too high. after the swelling went down, i realized they were too low and they looked really odd. should i take em out and get them redone or should i learn to live with it?
Lip piercing too low?
pictures?
Lip piercing too low?
This is a question you should be asking yourself. Are you that unhappy with them that you want to go through the process of spending the money and healing new piercings again? If it bothers you and you want them in a different spot, I say take them out and get them redone once they close up and heal. But if it doesn't bother you, I'd say don't go through the entire process again. Give them time to heal before deciding.
Reply:you should do what makes u happy dont live with it just take it out let the hole closed and redo it u wont regreat it.. u will be happy u did it
Reply:Well if they're too low and you don't like them then you can go to your piercer and ask them to repierce you for free in the correct place once you let the holes heal over.


It's all about what you want.


If YOU think theyre too low then get them redone.


Um yah biore skin care?

i've just started using biore pore minimizing wash,nose strips,and astringent and it's great has there been bad reactions to it oh and like i have oily skin.
Um yah biore skin care?
I have used the wash and astringent and never had a problem, I have combination skin.





Be sure to use a light moisturizer after all that or you can dry your skin out pretty badly. Try Biore Oil Control Moisturizer. I would suggest using the nose strips once a week max. Use some blotting sheets during the day and drink lots of water!

What should do in preparing for a tattoo?

i'm getting my tattoo tomorrow and im wondering what i should expect, like if i should take advil afterwards, or what level of pain i should expect


im really nervous too
What should do in preparing for a tattoo?
If you know yoga breathing, use it during the tattoo process. It really does help.
What should do in preparing for a tattoo?
just treat it like a normal day.


make sure you eat and have adequate fluids, so you dont pass out.


wear clothing that fits loosely, and/or comfortably around the area you are having tattooed.


RELAX!


after the tattoo use something like tattoo goo or another ointment... (not neosporin or anything petroleum based) for the next 3 days to a week... depending on healing rate...


then switch to a lotion...


i use lubriderm... with the pink lid..., but i have heard that the original aveeno works well also.


hope it help a little
Reply:get plenty of sleep and drink plenty of water. make sure you eat something before you go just in case you get a little weak. make sure and do not drink alcohol before...personally, i took some prescribed pain medications before hand....but, you will be fine! congrats and good luck! make sure and follow the after care instructions!
Reply:Its not that painful unless your a drama queen and exagerate it cause you expect more pain when it really doesnt hurt. you wont need advil seriously. It hurts very little and then turns to a numbing kind of sensation. it hurts when touched or hit. but not that much.
Reply:shave the hair on the spot
Reply:Just try to stay calm honestly... the more you work yourself up for a tattoo- the more pain your likely to feel because your going to get your adrenaline running, and thats going to make you feel more pain...





I spent the day out with my friends, then went to get a tattoo- then all I had was a bit of butterflies, but I had a great day with my friends- and them there with me (not in the room, but there for support and stuff)...


don't take any medicine before you go- but you can take advil and stuff like that afterwards- if you take it before, it can thin your blood and make you bleed more when your getting tattooed- which isn't good.





just-- don't work yourself up its not as bad as you think, and especially saying that your getting such a small tattoo- it won't take long or hurt a lot at all.


Your psyching yourself out a lot more than you need to be.. just relax!!
Reply:First of all, you need to relax and get a good nights sleep make sure you eat a good meal before getting your tattoo and make sure you're well hydrated!!! Even have a bottle of water while you're getting your tattoo.

Reply:Make sure you eat about 2 hours before you go.


You can take some advil to help with the pain but it wont do much.


Tattoos do hurt a good amount but it's worth it in the end.


Make sure you clean the area thoroughly before going to get the tattoo.


While you're getting the tattoo, breathe deeply and slowly and focus your mind on something else.


Nose peeled now sensitive?

this past week i was out in the sun and my face got sunburnt. my nose completely peeled today and now my nose is very sensitive and hurting. the skin is a light pink. i know that it will stop hurting but how long would you think? and what would be the best thing to put on it? i have lately been putting aloe vera on my face or cetaphil. any help/advice!?
Nose peeled now sensitive?
how about neosporin?
Nose peeled now sensitive?
im light skinned and get burned all the time. aloe vera gel is probably the best. put it in the fridge for an even better result. itll go away probably in a day or 2.
Reply:yep, it wasn't ready. That tends to happen sometimes cause some parts are so you start to peel and you keep going. It should be fine in a day or so


Why is it that when people stretch their ears (plugs), after a certain gage, the piercing stinks?

i haven't encountered this issue yet, as i am only a 6 gage. but I am very wary of going higher now.
Why is it that when people stretch their ears (plugs), after a certain gage, the piercing stinks?
Because they aren't cleaning their piercings. It's just from the tissues in your lobes. They can produce gunk that stays on the plugs and if you don't clean them, they can stink.





One of the main reasons why I clean my plugs daily.
Why is it that when people stretch their ears (plugs), after a certain gage, the piercing stinks?
The stink is normal.. it's called sebum and it's there from the sweat and dead skin cells in the piercing.


To minimize the smell you can wear organic jewelry (once the stretch is healed, of course) and that seems to make the smell a lot less.





But it's something you just have to get used to - my septum piercing had that smell when it was at 12 gauge (it's 8 now), as does my 14 %26amp; 2 gauge navel.. along with quite a few other piercings.
Reply:A piercing can stink no matter what size it is. If yours doesn't smell now than you must take care of it very well. You can keep on stretching it if you want. please vote best answer, I could really use the points.
Reply:Well if you're not cleaning your ears then the tissues and bacteria get trapped in the ears and then it gives off a bad smell.


You're probably taking good care of your ears which is why it's not smelly.
Reply:Even at a 6 a piercing can work up a funk, so keep on cleaning your piercings.





When you have a piercing, it forms a tube of skin inside itself as it heals. This skin sheds dead cells just like all the rest of the skin on your body does. As these cells shed, they can get trapped in between your piercing and your jewelry. Once they are trapped, smelly little bacteria can grow and feed on the shed skin. This creates that funky smell and the gunk that can be found on dirty piercings. This gunk can even irritate a piercing, so if someone complains that their stretches are always sore, suggest washing.





I have no idea why people with stretched ear lobes assume this smell is to be accepted. The skin inside a piercing needs washed occasionally to stay healthy just like anywhere else. You may find that you don't need to clean daily (it is delicate skin and may not like daily soap), but at least every few days is a good idea. Keep in mind that any piercing can get a funk going, so if you notice one it is time to clean the area.





How often you need to clean can also be affected by the material of jewelry you are wearing. Acrylics are famous for irritating ears and generating a maximum amount of funk in the shortest given time. Materials like organics that allow a piercing some breathing room tend to keep funk down to a minimum. Which materials work best for you is a personal choice, just be aware of the differences and clean accordingly. For example I wore glass plugs for months and needed to clean them every couple of days. Now I have in silicone earskins and they are so light that I can go a week funk-free.





Stretched piercings are just like hair. Some people need to wash it every day, some people can go for days on end. What you are wearing in your piercings and your body itself declare how much washing you need to stay funk free and healthy.





You can stretch as large as you please without fear of being smelly. As long as you wash your piercings, you won't smell a bit.

Hawaiian Tropics Dark Tanning Oil........have you ever used it? what did you think?

I like the stuff as a moistuizer when I get out of the shower, but it works for tanning/burning too.
Hawaiian Tropics Dark Tanning Oil........have you ever used it? what did you think?
I didn't like it, it didn't work very well
Hawaiian Tropics Dark Tanning Oil........have you ever used it? what did you think?
I like it VERY much.


Although if your just starting out to use it, Be VERY VERY careful on how much you apply! Because if it is the 1st time using it, you WILL burn easily.


But other than that i love the stuff!
Reply:i think it stanks nasty and even tho its oil, its far too oily if u know what i mean. dont really help u tan either
Reply:Look at the ingredients... Mineral oil? That's Baby oil. You could make that same stuff much cheaper if you wanted.. Also, it is not made in Hawaii, and when you buy it, you are also paying for all the advertising.
Reply:Oh I used that stuff last summer when I went to the beach. I got sooo tan. Definately suggest it to you.
Reply:yes and i say its just the same as getting the light tanning oil, except that the dark tanning oil is more expensive. hope it helps
Reply:sure if you wanna get skin cancer or premature aging go ahead its great!

my legs are very prone to razor burn but after I heal it with my witch hazel aloe vera mix should this soap help prevent razor burn on my very sensitive and very dry skin?
Just bought Dove sensitive soap bar, will this help prevent razor burn to very razor burn prone skin?
no, get shave cream instead x Soap doesnt prevent razor burn
Just bought Dove sensitive soap bar, will this help prevent razor burn to very razor burn prone skin?
wait if you are shaving using it no, but if you like wash your legs after shaving them with shaving cream maybe.. you have to use shaving cream i didnt think you did but then i was reading this health magazine and it said you have to or u will get razor burn and have really dry rough skin
Reply:It might help some, but the best thing you can do for razor burn is to prevent it. Find a good quality razor, preferably one with replaceable blades, and keep a good sharp blade in it at all times. The least little bit of wear on a razor (especially the disposables) will irritate sensitive skin.





I use the Mach III, but I've noticed a couple of new ones being advertised on TV that might be better. Ask around and get some ideas about good razors.


Vitamin supplements hair skin nails!!!!?

i am going to take some hair skin and nails supplements, but i also want to take some biotin tablets aswell for my hair to be stronger.





the hair,skin n nail tablets have some biotin in, but not a strong enough dosage, so im thinking of buying seperate biotin tablets to take in addition.





will that be ok?





if uve used biotin how has it helped?


any side affects?





extra info:


i live in the UK, im 20 =), i dont get enough vitamins through food coz i kinda dont like meat.
Vitamin supplements hair skin nails!!!!?
I say, don't waste your money on the "skin and nail supplements," and next time just buy the biotin. A biotin supplement of 1,000 mg or more will have the same effects and is most likely A LOT cheaper. I have been taking them for the past 8 months or so, and my hair has grown by about 50% more each month. Also, if you want a full daily vitamin, i would recommend prenatal vitamins, those also have a lot of vitamins that help with hair and nail growth.


Do you put it on before or after...?

Okay, so I'm about to do the home remedy thing for acne where you put a towel over your head and you have the bowl of hot water under it so it opens up your pores and stuff... and then after that I'm going to clean my face with soap and water and i also want to put a face mask on. do i put the face mask on before or after i do the steam remedy thing?
Do you put it on before or after...?
After. The steam will open your pores, and allow the products in your face mask to penetrate deeper.





Then you skin shall be soft and smooth!





Good luck and have fun!
Do you put it on before or after...?
Yeah, after, and when you wash it off, splash your face with cold water again to close the pores. xxx

Getting a tattoo, but what if i lose weight?

I'm getting a tattoo on this part of my leg (thats not my leg by the way-- just a pic that i found on the internet...lol)





http://i26.tinypic.com/2z6role.jpg





However i'm overweight and i have some fat in that area. If i lose weight or i strengthen up my leg muscles, what will happen to the tattoo? Will it become deformed? Or will it be fine?





Its a hibiscus flower with vines coming out of it by the way...
Getting a tattoo, but what if i lose weight?
I heard about a lady who got a tattoo of a peanut on her stomach. Then she had a baby, and the thing ended up looking like a potato.
Getting a tattoo, but what if i lose weight?
I'm sure it will be ok because that is an area that bounces back easily. I could see if it was on your stomach/hips which tend to get the worst of it when we gain/lose weight. You should be fine.
Reply:I've never known people lose significant amounts of weight in that area unless it's from water retention. Unless your lower leg is like a tree trunk now you should be fine, imo.
Reply:For the most part- this part of your body stays the same... if you do have excess weight that you think will be shedding off in your weight loss process- I'd say wait until after you lose the desired amount of weight... if your legs are all ready pretty fit- and your losing weight around the rest of your body- not so much in the legs-- you'll be fine...





I'm not trying to sound mean or anything, but I myself have thick calves and thicker ankles-- I played soccer throughout my childhood and all the females in my family have HUGE calves... (I love my genes- let me tell you)


I haven't gotten any tattoos on my legs because (1) they're not my favorite part of my body- so I don't want to show them off and (2) my legs are a lot of muscle- and I was told that it will hurt like a @*!*!%*@ to get them tattooed...





Good luck, and kudos to actually having the initiative to lose weight-- I know I need to lose a bit of my "fluff" but, I lead a lazy lifestyle- and I'm afraid to change it- I'm a creature of habit... what can I say?!?!
Reply:It all depends upon how much weight you hold on that part of your calf. I am overweight, however I have very muscular calves, so when I lose weight the chances are that I will not lose any in that area. Unless you are morbidly obese (not putting you down, just dont know your size and shape...everyone is different), and are storing a lot of fat in that area, you should be fine.
Reply:Well since your leg isn't huge or anything, the tattoo probably wouldn't be affected.


It would stay the same size and it would look nicer on a nice, toned leg.


What type of tatoo do you have (or want)?

I want "Pasquale" on my back somewhere- its a nickname that my grandfather use to call me before he passed away- it means a lot to me, but I'm still trying to find an artist who will draw it up for me and make it the way I want-- I want it legible, and I want it to be one of a kind... and I'm still waiting-- all my other tattoos were kind of spur of the moment things- that I didn't put a lot of thought into, but I still enjoy them :)

My lip????
You should so what makes you happy and what you want to do.
Reply:I think lower lip piercings are hot!
Reply:Yea it would look nice
Reply:hell yes
Reply:sorry but i dont think that is such a gud idea. it is a little weird, it hurts and what if u try to put somtin in ur mouth and it gets stuck? that will really hurt Its a no 4 me
Reply:If it's something that you wants then go for it, and if you've already had your tongue pierced then the aftercare for the lip piercing is similiar, except you should use a mouth wash that is alcohol free, and you have to clean the skin around it outside, so its no big deal. but its your decision if you wants it or not. Also it doesn't hurt, and to respond to a pervious comment food wouldn't get stuck one it nor would the piercing and it doesn't feel weird, once the swelling goes down and you switch to a shorter stud (if you do use a stud) then you'll forget it's there within a few weeks at the most.
Reply:What's one more piercing? And it is tongue. Not toung.
Reply:i love lip rings and they look really hot on some people but if you have to many pierchings then it would look to good but thats just my opinion. if you really want to, go for it.
Reply:look what they do to ur mouth, theres so many risks besides teh VERY high risk of infection like any other oral piercing, the most common and simple ones are gum recession, tooth chipping/wearing, and jaw erosion. (with jaw erosion you can loose teeth! also with bad gum recession)

so you can decide according to that i guess, i do love how they look, but just think of youe health before looks and i would recommend to research the other risks as well.

Reply:Yes you should.

What is a tinted moisturizer?

what exactly is it used for ?
What is a tinted moisturizer?
Tinted moisturizer is something between a lotion and a foundation. It has some pigment in it like a makeup, but it isn't has heavy as a foundation would be.. Tinted moisturizer is fabulous for summer, excercise, or any other occasion where your foundation might be too heavy or get smeared. Tinted moisturizer also works in place of foundation if you don't need a lot of coverage from your makeup. If you're just trying to even out your skin tone a little bit, tinted moisturizer may do the trick. Some moisturizers also contain spf, so look for one of those if you can find it.





Moisturizers can contain self tanners, so read the package. If it does contain a tanner, that may be what the "light or dark" is all about.





If it doesn't contain a tanner, the two shade options are your two choices for matching your skin tone. A tinted moisturizer doesn't go on thick like a foundation and isn't going to drastically change your tone, so it's much easier to match. If you have light skin, get the lighter color, dark skin get the dark one.

Will this hurt?

i want to get my tongue and nose pierced... but im afraid itll hurt. i got my belly button and a tatt on my wrist and wasnt painful at all but im afraid that since its my face itll hurt more cuz its more sensitive so can anyone tell me if im gonna b in pain and for howlong after i get it done?
Will this hurt?
It will hurt bad,..the ears don't hurt much...but your noise now that is serious pain,..also your belly button wont hurt
Will this hurt?
well idk i got my lip pirced and it kinda hurt but it wasnt bad
Reply:Im not sure if they numb the tongue for piercing, i doubt they numb the nose. I havent done it before so i cant rly tell you anything
Reply:of course it will
Reply:Nose doesn't hurt as much. It only hurts for like an hour or two afterwards. Tongue seems like that would REALLY hurt. Just fyi 1-100 people die when they get their tongue pierced. You should really think that one through.
Reply:tongue might hurt if it leads to encephalitis
Reply:Don't get your tongue pierced! You will get really sick! And you will also loose many nerves used 4 taste!!
Reply:Yeah it kinda hurts, and then it will feel wierd because you probably have never had a piercing on your face before.





It will take about a month to get used to it, after that it'll seem normal.





Although be careful with the tongue, some nasty things happen to people and these things are very painful.


I'd rather not list them - Stay confident!
Reply:I got my tongue and it hard to talk and i ate baby food, witch is ok cause i like baby food but mosts people dont
Reply:I'm sure you'll be fine. if u can handle what u got so far then u can handle more. the skin is more sensitive so it might hurt. just think about it.
Reply:yeah, it'll obviously hurt. I mean, you're punching metal THROUGH YOUR SKIN!!! If you want my advice, don't do it. It looks ugly.
Reply:Yeesssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!=0


Omgg!


Dont do it.


When I did it it hurt for a week after it was done!


Plus it doenst look all that attractive!


DONT DO IT!
Reply:no, u shouldent be scared if it will hurt because the pain lasts for 60 seconds and the peircing lasts a life time so its worth it, same for the tat.
Reply:No, they won't hurt. Your wrist would've been the most painful out of all of those because it's in an area of such thin skin and bone, but if that didn't hurt, your nose and tongue most definitely will not. My mom is a completely coward when it comes to pain and she recently got her nose done, and said it feels like getting your ears pierced. I have mine does as well, and it didn't hurt me either. Your eyes will water, but that's simply because the nerve endings in your nose are so close to your tears ducts. Your tongue is one of the most least painful piercings you can get because it's a muscle. I say do it! :)





Oh, and all the crap said about not being able to taste, dying from loosing too much blood, and your tongue hole never closing up...they're all myths. Those are in extreme and rare cases due to unprofessional piercers and negligent care to the piercing. The worst thing that happens more frequently is chipping your teeth, which can also be avoided by being careful.
Reply:Tongue piercings are generally considered very useful for oral sex 鈥?although that's definitely not the only reason people get the piercing!Tongue piercings carry with them almost no infection or risks directly related to the piercing (like cancer), but they do carry a large risk of tooth chipping
Reply:It does hurt when you get your tongue pierced but you will get over the pain.
Reply:ok i have my septum,nose,6 on each side or ear(includiing gages),belly button,hips,snakebites,monroe , and i did all of the percings myself.. and im 14.. and the only one that hurt was my gages.. but other thean that it was like nothing..


and i have a relly low poain tolorance.. so yea...





good luck~
Reply:ya...............
Reply:well,i think it will hurt like hell
Reply:it depends if your really sensitive. like when you get a shoot does it hurt really bad or if you cry the it will DEFFINATLEY hurt alot but if you take pain easy then it will be a breeze.
Reply:i got my nipples pierced once, that didnt hurt nearly AS BAD AS my tongue
Reply:MY daughters did it was the worse pain ever.
Reply:My tongue didn't hurt much getting it pierced, it was afterwards that I had pain. After about a week, it was still so swollen, I had to take it out. My nose hurt some but it was quick pain.
Reply:The nose shouldn't hurt at all because the edge is soft, boneless skin like the ear.....the tongue might hurt because its really thick and they have to stick a big needle through it but since you've went through a lot of pain from a tattoo and belly ring it probably want do nothing but sting for a minute and then be over!!!!!!!!!


How do you get rid of stretch marks?

i know its impossible to get rid of stretch marks completly but how do you get them to get less noticable or completly gone if this is even possible helpp please!
How do you get rid of stretch marks?
try cocoa butter or shea butter
How do you get rid of stretch marks?
If you get some firming and toning lotion, it makes your skin look heathier and tighter, so that would work. I suggest Aveda or L'Oreal, if not, then scar cream. You can get it at any shoppers drug mart.
Reply:You cant.
Reply:i got them too.. you cant!.. you can try cocoa butter. but i know that you cant remove them... sry mama
Reply:maderma really works! its kida expensive around 18 bucks and u can get it at any drug store but believe me its worth it... just use it for about 2 weeks and ull never notice anything!
Reply:I absolutely recommend StriVectin-D. It is very expensive...$150 per tube, but it is very, very worth it. Go online to read about it. I've used it for a year on my face and stretch marks...it works! It really lessens lines on your face, and stretch marks fade to almost nothing!





Good luck1
Reply:Before you start spending loads of money on different creams or surgeries, there are a few simple techniques you can try on your own at home. If your stretch marks are not too severe or aged, you can try taking a body brush and scrubbing the affected areas while in the shower. This loosens up the skin, and removes the dead skin on top, leaving fresh, more normal colored skin underneath.





The cheapest stretch mark treatment available is creams made especially for stretch marks. The most effective creams contain ingredients such as cocoa butter, lanolin and wheat germ oil. These creams actually heal and rebuild the damaged skin. While they may not be able to completely eliminate stretch marks, they may at least make the stretch marks fade to a barely visible scar.

Is it okay to used two neutrogena acne products at a time?

I just bought the Acne Stress Control Power-clear scrub, and Rapid clear acne eliminating spot gel. I have tried the power-Clear scrub, but not the spot eliminating gel because i'm afraid that it would dry my skin if i use both of them. Is it okay to use both of them at a time?
Is it okay to used two neutrogena acne products at a time?
The spot gel is not supposed to go all over your face, just on blemish spots. If you use them correctly, I don't think it will hurt you because one is a scrub and one is a spot gel.

its ok dats usually wat dey wnt u 2 do
Reply:Well from my experience it is NOT!


I used to have an acne problem too and it was freaking me out i went out and bought all the acne products at once and used them on my face sadly thinking it would all go away, but like you said it dries out your face.


What you should do is, in the morning apply a really light and simple face cleanser NOT a scrub, in the morning its better to go light try something from Olay or Aveeno


After washing your face wear a GOOD sunscreen again i recommend Aveeno but Neutrogena is good to and make sure its oil-free


At night you can use your Acne stress control power scrub thing or you can use the spot gel it doesnt matter but you should use acne products at night because with exposure to the sun they can leave dark spots. So use it at night


Good luck!


Hope this helped


:]
Reply:It sure is! Just put the spot gel on well, spots, and use the scrub all over your face. And you know what else? If your face starts to get dry, Neutrogena makes a facial lotion with acne-fighting ingredients in it, so you get smooth, moisturized, and clear skin! Good luck! :)
Reply:Hello Jello! I tried combining two neutrogena products and my skin got very dry and irritated.. making the acne take that much longer before it cleared up.





You can get away with using the scrub wash and spot treatment together, but I must warn you.. you have to be sparing on the scrub wash. Be very gentle, light, patting it.. a small amount, and use no more than 2 times a day.





If you are looking for a treatment that fights acne from every different way, then I only recommend Clear Pores.

Trying to combine two different neutrogena products is not suggested as there are MANY people who all have said it just irritated their skin.


Help! What do I do?

Last week at the pool I got a really bad sunburn. It started itching and peeling recently, and I scratched it unconciously and this blister-y liquid came out of it (gross, I know). I think it is a second degree burn, because my shoulders and chest are developing blisters. It really burns, as well. It is still VERY sensitive to the touch and hurts even to have a tshirt against it Also, I think I was supposed to go to the pool again tomorrow... would that not be a smart idea? I don't want it to get worse, but it is taking such a long time to heal. I have tried putting witch hazel, natural oatmeal lotion, and aloe gel on it, and it made it burn even more. What can I put on it to take the sting out and make it heal as quick as possible?
Help! What do I do?
You may want to see a doctor...they can give you some cream for this. If not, then you should take some Tylenol for the pain, and get some cool compresses on it. Gel will sting if the skin is broken and raw, so leave that off until it starts to scab. THe best way to do it is to wet a towel and toss it in the freezer for a few minutes, and then put it on the burn. Don't do it for too long, you are susceptible to chills while you're like this. Stay out of the sun for awhile...the pool itself is not bad, but the sun exposure is. Swim in the evening or an indoor pool if you really feel you must.
Help! What do I do?
Definitely do not go back to the pool tomorrow, even if you wear a shirt the whole time. You have to give it time, and all the stuff you are putting on it is probably prolonging the pain!





Here are a couple of things I have heard that might help:





Noxema cream


butter (I don't know....not convinced of this one)


Menthol (like you put on your nose if it's chapped)





The very best thing is really aloe vera, cool baths and giving it a lot of time. I feel your pain! Good luck!
Reply:go c a doctor if u go out again u cn get serious skin cancer,u mite evn start developng moles, so no dat wudnt be smart ure alredy complaining
Reply:to take the sting away , soak in milk for 1 hr lol it sounds corny but it works and next time wear sunscreen!!!
Reply:Cold water helped me.





Ah, yes, that "blister-y liquid" is puss, Dearie. Don't scratch it! That is the worst thing to do..





Stay in the shade and put sunblock on. Don't go to the pool unless it's inside. Lotion that repairs itchy and dry skin is best. You're going to have to be more careful! It's actually quite serious as you get older.





I hope you get better. Keep applying the aloe gel and lotion and have some patience and all will be well.





:)
Reply:dont put lotions or anything else on (it locks the moisture in, i've heard this is a bad thing), take some panadols for the pain. it sounds like a very bad sunburn. If i were you, i take a few days off from doing any 'sun activities'. give it time.

Is it possible to have absolutely no pigment in you skin???

My skin is insanely pale. Last summer i wore a wristband everyday to test if i really do tan.......and i seriously coulde see a difference. My mom or dad and both my brothers couldnt see a difference.





I want to know if its possible to have absolutely no melanin in your skin.





My dad is Mainly French and some other things....but he doesnt know them all off hand. My mom is French and Italion. (i dont think i spelled it right.....)





My eyes are green and orund the black part is brown. ( Neither my mom or dad has brown eyes......and neither of my grandparents have brown eyes so i dont know where the brown came from.....My hair is dark brown.





So is it possible for my skin to have no pigment???? I thought it was i was just pale because I inherited my polish side....but i dont tan after an entire summer
Is it possible to have absolutely no pigment in you skin???
you have a little, just not enough to have a noticeable tan. if you didnt have any melanin you'd be albino.
Is it possible to have absolutely no pigment in you skin???
You do have pigment in your skin, if you didnt you'd be albino and REALLY sensative to the sun, you just have a hard time tanning is all, and anyways tanning is bad for you! it causes a bunch of problems lol


And from what you described of yourself you sound beautiful:]


So dont worry about not being all bronzed; just be a good person and people will see your outer beauty
Reply:Try asking a doctor
Reply:Albino that is all i got to say
Reply:Practically yes, though to have absolutely no pigment would make you out to be an albino rather than simply very fair. As you've mentioned that you happen to be rather fair I would presume that the majority of your ancestry happens to be Northern and Northwestern European, possible Central European as well. The Italian within you could possibly be Tyrolean which tends to be rather fair.


Should you be interested in darkening your skin colour somewhat I would suggest going over to the hsn.com website and chequeing out their sunless tanning lotions which actually do work and provide one with an even, streak free tan. Of course it isn't real, but better a fake tan than one that will prematurely age one and cause an increased chance of skin cancer later on in life. Moisturise daily, especially around the eyes, and use a sunblock with an SPF of at least 35. Sounds crazy I realise, but better to look good than to look like an old crocodile bag by the time one reaches ones' thirties or forties. If you've ever been back to Europe you'd understand what I mean by that. It can be rather horrid for the very fair who haven't used sun block or moisturised daily.





Cheers
Reply:It is possible but only by genetic alterations occurring naturally (Albinism) but that would put u at very high risc of getting melanoma (life threatening condition of the skin).
Reply:yes in albinism


Is this convincing enough? will my mom go for it?

okay, is this convincing enough? do you think my mom will go for it?


I have been thinking of this for basically ever!


I REALLY want a lip piercing.


I know what you are thinking "NO! you will never get a job looking like that" or "no, never, uh-uh never gonna happen"





But I have been researching this for about 2 months now and I have concluded that I really want it still.


I wouldn't go and get a huge hoop or anything but a small diamond stud or a little tiny barely noticeable silver hoop.


I know the conditions


~straight A's


But for this I'll make it more





~Straight A's or it's took out


~no back talking to anyone including John or it's took out


~Do all of my chores without being asked twice or it's took out


~keep room and bathroom clean or it's took out





And with the lip piercing conditions it'll change my attitude in a positive way and I'll keep true to all of the rules!


Just think When I get it, no more fights between john and I, no more disgusting room or bathroom and a straight A kid
Is this convincing enough? will my mom go for it?
try to sound as mature as possible, dont say please too much or it sounds like you're whining.





GOOD LUCK!
Is this convincing enough? will my mom go for it?
It sounds like you tried really hard to come up with reasons but no matter what you say getting your lip pierced isn't something you can convince your way into because parents already have their minds made up.......
Reply:They actually make balls even smaller than that (I usually wear those).





There are even ones that have stars instead of the ball- they're usually super small.


http://www.bodyartforms.com/productdetai...





Just thought you might like to know. =)





EDIT:


Also...


When you tell her that you want this, and the rules in which you can have it, tell her as mature as you can. Keep calm, and don't beg. Tell her actual reasons why you want it. Like that you like the way it looks. Not that you think it's cool, or that everyone else/your friends have one.
Reply:When a person does piercing and/or a tattoo, they are permanently scarring their skin tissue for the sake of art or to look cool. Most often, the damage will last a life time. It may fade, but it will always be there. And, as you age, your skin will sag a bit and your indentation will be come more noticeable. Just a fact of life. So, your hole in the lip may start out small and barely noticeable, but as you get into your 20-30s, it will stick out like sore thumb. Think about it, you are scarring your body to look cool. %26lt;shrug%26gt;
Reply:That's definitely convincing enough.


I think it will work.


The part about the retainer made it really good.


Good luck!
