Skin care product caused reaction on cheek...?

it's small, but red and dry. it was a new facial cleanser. i have sensitive skin. the ingredients in the products were salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. the area on my left cheek is small, red, and dry. today is the second day that i stopped using the products. in the mean time, i am putting aveeno ultra calming daily moisturizer on it to make it go away? is this gonna work? has anybody ever had a similar reaction to any face products like this? if so, what did you do or put on it to make it go away. I'm nervous, I just want it to go away. It doesn't itch, it's just red and dry. It was 3 products altogether, cleanser, toner, and than a benzoyl peroxide treatment lotion.

Skin care product caused reaction on cheek...?
Yes, I have. It was a reaction to Retinol in a product. I had red, dry, flaky patches on both of my cheeks, and I tried everything I could find to see if it would help.





The only thing that worked was Aveeno balancing bar soap on my face, and moisturizing with a special lotion - DML. I got it from my dermatologist. You can get it from a drug store, but you'll have to have them order it for you. It's rather expensive, but it is the best lotion ever.





It took about 2 weeks to clear up.
Reply:When you have sensitive skin you have to be careful about the skin products you use, because as you have experienced some ingredients can really do a number on it.

Japanese skin care?

I read in an article about Japanese make-up that Japanese women cleanse their faces with oils rather than soaps and can use up to nine skin care products each morning. I was just wondering if anyone knew what kind of oils they use. What kind of cleasing routine do they have? Japanese women have beautiful skin. I know that it's partly because of their genes but I'm just a little curious. I asked this yesterday but didn't get a lot of feedback.

Skin care product caused reaction on face?
Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid should never be used together. You need to choose one or the other. You may be having a reaction to one specific product or it may be a combination of all of them. Use just one product type at a time. If you want to use a cleanser, toner and acne medication together, choose them from the same product line. They are designed to be used together. I would maybe use a basic non-acne cleaner until the redness and dryness goes away. Try something gentle like Neutrogena or Cetephil. I would also use a moisturizer within the same line for now. Hope this helps.
Reply:I agree with Ms. Flawless. I had many adverse reactions to facial products with harsh chemicals. I went natural in my face products. I've tried Aubrey Organics with I loved, but am trying Burt's Bees now as I wanted a change. I have also discovered that my face is allergic to benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid dries out my face. So the natural products were a perfect match. Try products that are all paraben, fragrance, sodium laureth, and perservative free - these are the best for our sensitive skin. For red/ dry patches dab a cotten ball with organic sweet almond oil (found at health food stores for not that much money) and blot on the area over night. I wouldn't suggest doing that during the day as your face might look oily.

Any suggestions for skin care?

I'm going to a wedding in two weeks and haven't seen these people forever. I want my skin to look it's absolute best. I kind of have oily skin especially on my nose, cheek bones, and forehead. I also have black heads on my nose and cheek bones. I get small pimples every now. Any suggestions to make my skin look good? I have heard about steaming the face to open pours. I would appreciate any advice. Even though it means any recommendations for skin care products or just a at home treatment. Thank you.l

Any suggestions for skin care?
Mary Kay consultant, Dermatologist, that way u aren't getting a rash from some awful remedy from these off the wall people that might suggest put some kind of crap on your skin then u end up in a worse seen it's always best to go with the pro's. on that one yes you can steam the face but you have towash it then put ice cold water back on the skin to close the pours so that dirt and germs don't sneak back and make those ugly blemishish on youre face. also try to eat more fruits, veggies and lots of water, teas, and smoothies put some vitiamins garlic,omega 3. A good diet and vitiamins, exersise, and a good specialist will all help
Reply:TRY THE PROACTIV LINE... especially their refining mask.. if anything,, the mask has been godsent to my entire family..


tip: every other night,, rub light amount over trouble areas and when you wake up,, exfoliate with St.Ives apricot scrub.


let me know if it works, Report It

Reply:Don't smoke, drink, or get too much sun. Over time, these will make your skin look horrible. (Tanning beds count as sun, so you should avoid them.)
Reply:I have always been happy with Mary Kay. I am not a rep, just a satisfied customer. I haven't found anything else that works as well. They also do free makeovers which might also be fun.
Reply:Exfoliate, Cleanser, Sun Screen and drinking water is some of your most common methods.





There's a reason that their the most common ways, they work.


So find a nice brand of all listed above and knock em' out when you step in the door.





Congrats to your friend, and i hope you look fabulous!
Reply:I also have oily skin and my favorite treatment is Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask. It is available here (AZ) at Walgreens.





Clean and Clear makes a powder that is specifically to absorb oil, it is with the acne products and the powder is actually blue. It works well, but only apply it to the oily portions of your skin.





You might also want to try, for the day of the wedding, a mattefier. I used to use one from Origins that worked wonders at keeping my face oil free for hours.
Reply:SK II product is the best and can see the result
Reply:First start drinking 8-10 glasses of water every day! Before you go to bed at night, wash your face with good cleanser for oily skin. Wipe it down with an astringent and moisturize with a product for oily skin. In the morning, give your face a good cleaning and use a face scrubber to lightly scrub the face in thse oily and blackhead areas. Rinse with cool water about ten times and use the moistuizer. On the weekend, apply a mask for oily skin. Use a topical product for those pimples.

Reply:Im sorry to say but acne is usually a hormonal problem, too much of one hormone, nothing bad just an imbalance, thats why the contraceptive pill is usually perscribed. your skin would clear up well %26amp; u could use whatever skin care u wish. also check ur diet too when u have acne, remember with ur skin its not what u put on ur skin it iswhat is in ur skin, the skin is the biggest organ of the body which protects all internal organs, so if ur insides are unbalanced it will show in ur skin.

Products for sensitive skin?

I'm looking for skin care products - specifically, toner, foundation and concealer - that I can use on my face though I have sensitive skin (I have eczema). Please name some widely available brands since I don't have access to most of the brands in the US. If you could provide the pH of the products that would be great too. Thanks.

Products for sensitive skin?
BIOELEMENTS. it's sold world wide. they have a cosmecuticle line that works great for sensitive skin like eczema. it works like a makeup and it's good for your skin.
Reply:Weather its a tonner or make-up ALWAYS go for simple ingredient!


Products with too much ingredient is a big NO.


It confuses the skin espasially sensitive skin.


I'm not saying go for a total cheapey, but try one with just a few simple ingredient, while saving your-self a couple pounds or dollers if you live in the u.s lol.

You can get it from QVC.com or Sephora...

Reply:Ninjaaa, your search is over. The products found at aularale.com/7002 are all for sensitive skin and they ship just about anywhere.
Reply:Mineral makeup is best, it's very natural, has awesome wear-ability, is non-cosmogenic, and is oil free, but please think twice before using Bare Minerals (aka Bare Escentuals)! There products contain bismuth which is NOT a healthy mineral and is NOT good for ultra sensitive skin! It resembles arsenic!!! I used this makeup not knowing this fact and it caused me a very bad allergic reaction!





Bismuth (IPA: [ˈbɪzməθ]) is a chemical element that has the symbol Bi and atomic number 83. This heavy, brittle, white crystalline trivalent poor metal has a pink tinge and chemically resembles arsenic and antimony.





I found this makeup and have been using it for 2 years now! It's wonderful! They have 17 foundation colors (way more then the competitors so one is sure to blend and cover your skin flawlessly!) and 5 different finishing powders, choose the one for you skin type! It really works well!





Plus they offer free shipping to the Continental US!

Ideas for new skin care for over age 40?

I've just used a hodge podge of skin care products over the years. I'm looking to go with a particular line but prefer it not be extremely expensive. I have normal skin, large pores, some wrinkles near eyes, neck and lips but otherwise pretty healthy skin.





Also have blood vessels that stand out over my cheekbones just at the outside corner my eyes. Any ideas on how to cover these up!

Reply:First of all, it's important that you take care of your skin on a daily/weekly basis as follows...





~DAILY/WEEKLY SKINCARE~


-You will need: Cleanser, Toner (or Astringent), Cotton Balls, Moisturizer, Mask (or Masque), Extractor (found at most beauty supply stores), and either a facial steamer or hand towel for steaming.





~Recommended Products (from Neutrogena)*


It's best that you stick with ONE product line formulated for your skin type.





Combination Skin - (2 or more of these conditions: dry, oily, sensitive, breakouts, etc.) Fresh Foaming Cleanser, Alcohol-Free Toner, Oil-Free Moisture for Combination Skin, Deep Clean Gentle Scrub, Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask (for Oily and/or blemish-prone areas) , %26amp; Hydrating Facial Cloth Mask (for Dry areas, www.neutrogena.com/Content_79.asp)





*see this link: http://www.neutrogena.com/face.asp?mainv... click on cleansers, toners, moisturizers, %26amp; treatments to view the products





-Morning and night (before going to bed): cleanse, tone, and moisturize. If you have clogged pores, whiteheads and blackheads, then 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. *IF NEEDED, for blackheads, pimples, etc, Don't begin doing extractions until you have been following all of the other steps for at least 2 to 3 weeks, so that the steaming will have caused any tough blemishes 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


Steam - for 10-15 minutes, using one of these methods: facial steamer, hold your face 3-5 inches above steaming water, or drape a hot towel over your face (leaving your nostrils and/or mouth exposed)


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 - if it begins to sting or burn intensely before 10-15 minutes has passed remove and consider using a milder mask


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.








Vitamins, Minerals, Diet, %26amp; Exercise


Each day, take a multivitamin, drink plenty of water, and try to maintain a fairly healthy diet and exercise routine. Also see this site about vitamins and the skin: http://www.prevention.com/article/0,5778... If you take any of these in addition to your daily multivitamin, be sure not to take more than the recommended dosages.

Obagi Skin care?

Has anyone used Obagi skin care products with Rosacea? How has it helped? Would you recomend it?

Obagi Skin care?
Yes, I love Obagi products. I've used them for 6 years with great results. I also have rosacea and in the beginning it did make the skin more irritated, but the results are well worth it in the long run.





Obagi products increase skin cell renewal cycle, thickens collagen, smooths skin texture, evens skin tone and removes unwanted pigmentation, as well as reducing excess oil and increasing hydration. It leaves your skin looking glowing, smooth and healthy. HTH : )


Skin care order?

in what order are u supposed to appply skin care products ... which one goes first the cleanser the pore refiner the mosterizer .. in what order thanx =]

Skin care order?
Not sure about the pore refiner, but you apply cleanser, toner and moisturizer, I would apply the refiner before the moisturizer (maybe even before your toner). I've always been lead to believe the moisturizer should be the last thing on your face before makeup?!


Cleanser, toner, moisturizer is my daily package.
Reply:dont know how many things you got but it goes like this





cleanser, toner, moisturizer, pore refiner
Reply:their is no such thing as a pore refiner you cant change the size of your pores thats crap. Pore size is genetic.





However you probably mean a toner or a tonic. A pore refiner is just a toner which just gets rid of any extra dirt. You can make your pores less noticeble with a glycolic acid cream.





the order you should do it in is....


cleanse, tone(with a cotton swab wipe away from the center of your face), moisturize.





if your going to exfoliate do that between the cleanse and tone. Rinse your face off good after each step....except the moisturizer.


Then follow with a primer or other make up.
Reply:heres my skin care regimen:





1. I wash my face with Neutragena Rapid Clear fash wash. It is awesome when it comes to keeping blemishes away (ive used it for five years now and its wonderful)...$6 at walmart...


2. Exfoliate only once a week that way it doesnt make your skin red and or blotchy looking. I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub $4 at walmart.


3. Moisturize - i only do this if my skin is dry because my skin is kind of oily so i dont want to over do it too much.


4. Drink tons of water to keep your skin hydrated...and i no longer drink pop and i have seen a BIG difference in my skin and weight since i quit drinking pop.





Good luck!
Reply:Wash - (Facial Scrub to exfoliate just 2-3 times a week) - Toner - Facial Serum - Day or Night Crème - Eye Crème. Good luck!
Reply:Skin care products go on from thinest to thickest. Cleanser, serums, moisturizers. So you would cleanse, moisturizer and then the pore refiner. Just know that a pore refiner is just a product that makes the APPEARANCE of the pore seem smaller by filling them in. You can't change the size of your pores just like you can't get rid of wrinkles and sagging with a skincare cream. Only surgery will take care of that. HTH
Reply:I exfoliate, cleanse, use toner and then moisturizer
Reply:Hello,





1. Cleanser


2. Pore fefiner and toner are just about the same


3. Moisturizer

Reply:Acnezine treatment for your acne should be accompanied by a healthy skin care routine.





Wash the affected area twice a day with mild soap. Use soap such as Dove, or one that contains benzoyl peroxide, such as Oxy-5. Wash as often necessary to keep the area clean. Do not scrub.





Shampoo the hair regularly.





Keep long hair off the face and shoulders and wash it daily.





Avoid shaving as much as possible; while shaving take care to avoid nicking the pimples.





Use a fresh shaving blade to minimize the chance of spreading the infection.





Avoid use of make-up or cosmetics in areas prone to acne. If you have to wear make-up, use only the hypoallergenic or fragrance free kind.





Don't pop, pick, scratch, or squeeze your pimples. This may cause infection and scarring.





You may use an over-the-counter treatment that contain substances such as benzoyl peroxide (gel or cream) or salicyclic acid. Start with the lowest strength and apply once a day about half an hour after washing. Never use more than 5 percent strength without consulting a physician.





Food and Nutrition Recommendations for Acne:Some doctors believe that acne is not a food related problem. Some alternate practitioners use diet as a basis for their treatment of acne. They recommend that acne patients should eat foods high in beta-carotene, such as carrots, pumpkin, cantaloupe and other yellow-orange fruits and vegetables. They should also avoid fatty foods. Acnezine controls the oil secretion in your body to protect your skin from getting acne prone.





Vitamin Therapy for Acne:Nutritionists generally suggest:Chromium supplements - Chromium helps boosts the body's ability to break down glucose.Vitamin A - reduces sebum and keratin production. (Caution: taking mega doses of Vitamin A can cause headaches, fatigue, muscle and joint pain and other side effects. Consult a qualified practitioner before taking mega supplements).Vitamin E - an antioxidant (200 to 400 IU a day).Vitamin B-6 50 mg per day. This vitamin aids in the metabolism of hormones and supports the function of Acnezine as well.





Note: People should not try to medicate themselves or others with any of the methods referred to here without the guidance of a qualified practitioner who is thoroughly familiar with both the remedies and the individual’s medical status. Acnezine is an antioxidant, natural product without any side effect that reduces acne.

Skin Care for Hairless Chinese Crested?

I just got a Hairless Chinese Crested, can you recommend a good line of skin care products for this breed?

Skin Care for Hairless Chinese Crested?
what you need will depend on your dog's skin. Some only need mild shampoos to keep the skin clean, and some have bad skin and need specialized antibacterial shampoo from the vet.





I have several different products that I used on my crested, depending on his skin condition.. if his skin is more broken out, I will use a gentle facial cleanser (like what you'd use for your own face).. if his skin is dry, I use a moisturizing shampoo.





I also use salt and sugar scrubs to exfoliate the skin, mint julep mask when his skin is broken out.





for lotions, I have used emu oil lotion that I got off ebay, and also curel ultra healing, olay quench and eucerin.





There is a lady who has made a skin care line for the crested.. if your crested has fair/decent skin with minor blemishes, I'd highly reccommend it. Email alleyoopsstuff@aol.com

Reply:It can take some trial and error to find out what works best for your CC. Also if its a puppy, it may be going thru that "teenage" breakout stage. A gentle facial cleanser will help.. and most importantly.. DONT PICK! Report It

Reply:What did the breeder recommend? What has your research recommended? What does your vet recommend? I assume you did research on this breed prior to purchasing.
Reply:I use baby oil on my hairless dogs and puppies. You do have to be sure to keep them clean because they get sticky.


Skin Care help?

Lately, I have been breaking out a lot ( mostly before and during my period). Does anybody know any really good skin care products or can share their regime with me. I need to clear up before back to school!

Skin Care help?
The products you are using, are they salycic acid or benzolyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Almost all washes have it. They try finding a face lotion with it in it. Clean and clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face. I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working!


Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salysic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying fo rme! Good luck!
Reply:most women do break out around their period. it has to do w/ hormones, not necessarily your regime. but i do recommend using all natural products to wash %26amp; moisturize with. chemicals which are found in commercial products are not good for the skin especially your face's sensitive skin. i love using burt's bees products!
Reply:Cut back on the sugar, and if you have oily skin use a good facewash, and follow up with an astringent that should do the trick if you do that every morning and night until school starts.
Reply:Wash your face twice a day with cetaphil. It works.
Reply:try to relax and drink plenty of h20 eight glasses a DAY! wah ur face in a acne wash or try clean and clear daily pore cleanser and apply a light moisturizer like ponds( the little jar) get it at any drug store. Good luck.
Reply:ProActiv...I know all the cheesy celebs endorse the product but I tried everything. Prescription antibiotics, everything over the counter, Retin-A, even Accutane. ProActiv was the only thing that cleared up my acne and it was fast--just two weeks and I had clear skin. It may be more expensive than things you can buy at Wal-Mart or a drugstore, but it is really worth it because it truly works!
Reply:proActive alwayz helps but it will not work that fast
Reply:Check out Continuously Clear products by Seriesse! They work on all skin types and combine the best FDA approved medications - Salicylic Acid (cleanser) and Benzoyl Peroxide (daytime treatment) - with natural ingredients known for their soothing and hydrating properties. You can order the products individually, but the best deal is the 5 piece set that includes an oral skin supplement called Clear Skin that helps address the internal stressors that wreak havoc on your skin. Watch the short before and after video diary of a fellow acne sufferer on www.myseriesse.com/sbruck and see what you think. Good-luck.
Reply:Mary Kay has a great product called Velocity. Velocity is for younger skin and is great for helping with breakouts. Having great skin is easy with one product that works like three. It deep cleans your face, tones to refresh and exfoliates. This lightweight moisturizer softens skin while controlling excess oil on the face. It's just right for blemish-prone skin. It also contains a lighter version of the Velocity® fragrance. Velocity is also sold at a lower price than the TimeWise Mary Kay products. You can also get Mary Kay’s Acne Treatment Gel for spot treatment of acne. For the entire Velocity Set with the Acne Treatment Get it cost about $29.00.

Reply:A friend of mine introduced me this product:


http://skincareandantiaging.com/


I was skeptical because I was not looking for oceans of lotions to work on my face. I don't have time for that kind of aggravation. Too many other skin care treatments just did not work for me. I wanted something that would reduce my pores, lighten the appearance of my dark circles and blemishes, soften the texture of my skin and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles that are age telling. I was pleasantly surprised this product did all of them.


Skin care product caused reaction on face?

it's small, but red and dry. it was a new facial cleanser. i have sensitive skin. the ingredients in the products were salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. the area on my left cheek is small, red, and dry. today is the second day that i stopped using the products. in the mean time, i am putting aveeno ultra calming daily moisturizer on it to make it go away? is this gonna work? has anybody ever had a similar reaction to any face products like this? if so, what did you do or put on it to make it go away. I'm nervous, I just want it to go away. It doesn't itch, it's just red and dry. It was 3 products altogether, cleanser, toner, and than a benzoyl peroxide treatment lotion.

Skin care product caused reaction on face?
Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid should never be used together. You need to choose one or the other. You may be having a reaction to one specific product or it may be a combination of all of them. Use just one product type at a time. If you want to use a cleanser, toner and acne medication together, choose them from the same product line. They are designed to be used together. I would maybe use a basic non-acne cleaner until the redness and dryness goes away. Try something gentle like Neutrogena or Cetephil. I would also use a moisturizer within the same line for now. Hope this helps.
Reply:I agree with Ms. Flawless. I had many adverse reactions to facial products with harsh chemicals. I went natural in my face products. I've tried Aubrey Organics with I loved, but am trying Burt's Bees now as I wanted a change. I have also discovered that my face is allergic to benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid dries out my face. So the natural products were a perfect match. Try products that are all paraben, fragrance, sodium laureth, and perservative free - these are the best for our sensitive skin. For red/ dry patches dab a cotten ball with organic sweet almond oil (found at health food stores for not that much money) and blot on the area over night. I wouldn't suggest doing that during the day as your face might look oily.

Any suggestions for skin care?

I'm going to a wedding in two weeks and haven't seen these people forever. I want my skin to look it's absolute best. I kind of have oily skin especially on my nose, cheek bones, and forehead. I also have black heads on my nose and cheek bones. I get small pimples every now. Any suggestions to make my skin look good? I have heard about steaming the face to open pours. I would appreciate any advice. Even though it means any recommendations for skin care products or just a at home treatment. Thank you.l

Any suggestions for skin care?
Mary Kay consultant, Dermatologist, that way u aren't getting a rash from some awful remedy from these off the wall people that might suggest put some kind of crap on your skin then u end up in a worse seen it's always best to go with the pro's. on that one yes you can steam the face but you have towash it then put ice cold water back on the skin to close the pours so that dirt and germs don't sneak back and make those ugly blemishish on youre face. also try to eat more fruits, veggies and lots of water, teas, and smoothies put some vitiamins garlic,omega 3. A good diet and vitiamins, exersise, and a good specialist will all help
Reply:TRY THE PROACTIV LINE... especially their refining mask.. if anything,, the mask has been godsent to my entire family..


tip: every other night,, rub light amount over trouble areas and when you wake up,, exfoliate with St.Ives apricot scrub.


let me know if it works, Report It

Reply:Don't smoke, drink, or get too much sun. Over time, these will make your skin look horrible. (Tanning beds count as sun, so you should avoid them.)
Reply:I have always been happy with Mary Kay. I am not a rep, just a satisfied customer. I haven't found anything else that works as well. They also do free makeovers which might also be fun.
Reply:Exfoliate, Cleanser, Sun Screen and drinking water is some of your most common methods.





There's a reason that their the most common ways, they work.


So find a nice brand of all listed above and knock em' out when you step in the door.





Congrats to your friend, and i hope you look fabulous!
Reply:I also have oily skin and my favorite treatment is Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask. It is available here (AZ) at Walgreens.





Clean and Clear makes a powder that is specifically to absorb oil, it is with the acne products and the powder is actually blue. It works well, but only apply it to the oily portions of your skin.





You might also want to try, for the day of the wedding, a mattefier. I used to use one from Origins that worked wonders at keeping my face oil free for hours.
Reply:SK II product is the best and can see the result
Reply:First start drinking 8-10 glasses of water every day! Before you go to bed at night, wash your face with good cleanser for oily skin. Wipe it down with an astringent and moisturize with a product for oily skin. In the morning, give your face a good cleaning and use a face scrubber to lightly scrub the face in thse oily and blackhead areas. Rinse with cool water about ten times and use the moistuizer. On the weekend, apply a mask for oily skin. Use a topical product for those pimples.

Japanese skin care?

I read in an article about Japanese make-up that Japanese women cleanse their faces with oils rather than soaps and can use up to nine skin care products each morning. I was just wondering if anyone knew what kind of oils they use. What kind of cleasing routine do they have? Japanese women have beautiful skin. I know that it's partly because of their genes but I'm just a little curious. I asked this yesterday but didn't get a lot of feedback.

Skin care product caused reaction on cheek...?
Yes, I have. It was a reaction to Retinol in a product. I had red, dry, flaky patches on both of my cheeks, and I tried everything I could find to see if it would help.





The only thing that worked was Aveeno balancing bar soap on my face, and moisturizing with a special lotion - DML. I got it from my dermatologist. You can get it from a drug store, but you'll have to have them order it for you. It's rather expensive, but it is the best lotion ever.





It took about 2 weeks to clear up.
Reply:When you have sensitive skin you have to be careful about the skin products you use, because as you have experienced some ingredients can really do a number on it.





Read about sensitive skin care and try the products on http://www.myskincaresite.com - if they don't work or cause a problem you get your money back - no questions asked. Can't do better than that.

Green Skin Care?

Where, what skin care products can I buy that are organic/natural and acne-friendly... I'd just hate to put all of those chemicals on my face... I'm looking for ideas or products for facial cleansers, masks, and moisturizers especially.

Green Skin Care?
Eminence organics are the bomb! They are a green company, and 100% certified organic from Hungary( there has NEVER been a machine on the soil). Great products, very popular. Its all fruits, veggies and herbs, so amazing, they sell so awesome you Will wanna eat them! Love love love them! Did I mention how much I love them? They have masks, cleansers, toners, whatever you will need for acne. Possible the Eucalyptus cleanser if you are oily, Sugar Plum is Oily Skin Moisturizer, Garlic Toma toe Mask for Acne, there are so many others, if you can, fins a place that carries the line to pick out you specific products for your skin type.

Reply:Im sorry to say but acne is usually a hormonal problem, too much of one hormone, nothing bad just an imbalance, thats why the contraceptive pill is usually perscribed. your skin would clear up well %26amp; u could use whatever skin care u wish. also check ur diet too when u have acne, remember with ur skin its not what u put on ur skin it iswhat is in ur skin, the skin is the biggest organ of the body which protects all internal organs, so if ur insides are unbalanced it will show in ur skin.


I have bad skin becoz i dont drink enough water %26amp; carry too much testosterone.....

Weekly skin care regimine?

Ok what should I do as far as skin care products go I am a hispanic male and have oily skin. I get zits in small amounts, especially when it gets hot outside. What should I use and how often should i use it?

Weekly skin care regimine?
Well as a Hispanic female I can tell you what I use. I use the Papaya Cleansing Line from Bee-Luscious Cosmetics. It uses papaya enzymes to dissolve oils and dirt gently. My husband also loves it because it makes his whiskers really soft so he don't get a razor burn when he shaves. The stuff will last you about 8 months or so. Here is the web-site:

Proactive skin care vs. something else for blackheads? Which should I use?

I have been thinking about trying Proactive skin care products. My biggest problem is blackheads and combination skin. (oily in T-zone dry elsewhere) I haven't heard whether this will work for my problems or not. Other than the blackheads my skin is pretty clear. I usually get a few spots right before/during my period though. Is it worth trying or is there a better option?

Mary Kay skin care........?

Are MARY KAY skin care products really as great as they are advertised to be? I am not talking about makeup, altho I wonder about that also. What is your thinking about their skin care line?

Mary Kay skin care........?
They do have very good product.


Some of it is expensive to some.


I use to be a Mary Kay consultant, I don't know if it's the same way today, but as a consultant you had to buy 1,200 worth of product every 3 months to be considered active in my group so my rep could keep her Pink Caddy.


Also if you did not sell the product you had in your stock you was stuck with it.


I did make very good money, but every 3 months they come out with new product, so you'd have to try to get rid of the items they wasn't gonna carry anymore %26amp; it was a lot to keep up with.


Plus they always wanted you to recruit more women.


I'm just glad that I'm not a consultant anymore.


They have great product.


It's marked up by 50%, info for those of you that think its expensive. The consultants make 50%. or more if there is a special promo going on.

That expensive cream ended up as very expensive foot cream!





Based on that experience, I have to say......it is unimpressive!

You could set up free skin care sessions with a Mary Kay representative, Lancome, Estee Lauder and Clinique to see which you like it before you commit to buying. Good luck!
Reply:Way over priced for the quality you get. If you are going to spend that much money get a brand that delivers. Like Bee-Luscious, Chanel or Clinique!
Reply:I like their manicure and pedicure kits, they are quite nice. But I prefer Avon skin care products. Their Naturals line is fantabulous!
Reply:They best way to know is to try it for yourself. Feedback from a forum will only give you a spec of what to expect. Trying it for yourself will give you 100% of the picture of whether you like them or not.





The makeovers are free, just contact someone you know or go to the website at www.marykay.com





FULL GOSPEL SHIRLEY: Mary Kay is very good in listening to the consumer. I know how you feel because I felt that way too at one time, and have come across the same things. I have found that Mary Kay is very good in responding to the consumers requests, as well as their consultants to the consumer. I will be sure to relay your request.





By the way, you can always earn your products free from your consultant by having a few friends over so your consultant can show them the skin care line and the newest products too. If that is something you want to do, locate one in your area.

Reply:I used to be more well to do now, financially I mean. God has prospered me in other ways and finances will come as well.


But, I did used to order Mary Kay products, and I can tell you, of all the stuff I ever saw on the market, they were the very best. I would reccomend them to anyone, tho I havent tried them for several years, so I dont know of any changes they may have made. But their stuff is well worth the price they charge, but still its too spendy, way too, and the average gal just cant afford it. IF they sold it at a better price, then more would use it and they would make even more money. I even considered selling it, but found out you have to buy up a bunch of stuff, to have on stock to sell it, and by that time, I did not have the funds to do that.


And, its not only their make up, their entire skin care less was truly far superior over all the others, and I do mean all.


They had something for everyones skin, and for the first time in my life, my skin was flawless.


I just wish we coudl get it across that if they sold each produce for some less product, selling it cheaper, they would make even more, cuz all us regular gals would buy it. Its the only reason I dont buy it now. I met a girl in ORegon that sold it, and she said with my attitude about Mary Kay, I am a walking advertisement for them. hahahahaha


I dont know about that, but it is the best stuff out there. I would reccomend it to everyone. Come on girls, lets speak up and see if they can mark this down so its available to all of us, and we will all buy it over and over once we try it. Gotta be able to afford it first.


God bless ya for asking. Have a great THursday girl.

Reply:Mineral makeup is best, it's very natural, has awesome wear-ability, is non-cosmogenic, and is oil free, but please think twice before using Bare Minerals (aka Bare Escentuals)! There products contain bismuth which is NOT a healthy mineral and is NOT good for ultra sensitive skin! It resembles arsenic!!! I used this makeup not knowing this fact and it caused me a very bad allergic reaction!





Bismuth (IPA: [ˈbɪzməθ]) is a chemical element that has the symbol Bi and atomic number 83. This heavy, brittle, white crystalline trivalent poor metal has a pink tinge and chemically resembles arsenic and antimony.





I found this makeup and have been using it for 2 years now! It's wonderful! They have 17 foundation colors (way more then the competitors so one is sure to blend and cover your skin flawlessly!) and 5 different finishing powders, choose the one for you skin type! It really works well!

HELP! Skin care issues.?

Can anyone recommend good skin care products. I've had a mild break out (not tons of zits, but a few on my cheeks) but I also tend to have dry skin that needs moisturizing. If I put on lotion, I break out more, if I don't I get fine lines. I'm looking for a quality product line. Any tips or suggestions?

HELP! Skin care issues.?
you dont need to go and spend $30+ to take care of the problem here's what i would do (you can buy this stuff @ wal-mart). Buy a face wash like neutrogena for acne that has Sacrylic acid in it. also get an Alcohol-free Toner. and buy a moisterizer that has SPF 15 in it that also has either sacrylic acid in it or benozoic acid (not sure thats how u spell) to wear during the day. at night use the face wash and toner again and use a night cream with the sacrylic or benozoic acid in it (this treats acne). do this everyday and use a face Masque that tones and dries out blemishes once a week, your skin will be cleared up in a week 2 @ the most good luck!

Reply:Natures cure. The little white pills will help your acne on you chheks and the lotion that comes along with it will also hep your cheek-cne.

It's called Neutrogena something, then is says for dry skin on it. You'll know it cause it will have other products around that say for coimbination skin,and oily skin (by neutorgena) for moisturizung try aveeno poriducts.

Good skin care?

i have really senstive skin and i've tried "senstive skin care products" but they make my face really dry (i dont like that!!). is there any really good with sensitive skin face cleaner that isnt expensive?

Good skin care?
The problem with soaps and cleansers today is that they all contain soaps which strip away the natural oils and essential nutrients that your skin needs to remain healthy. For something inexpensive, go with Cetaphil, its soap free and very gentle. You should also go for a moisturizer with aloe and vitamin e, which will help soothe your irritated skin.. Hope this helps!
Reply:Cetaphil. gentle, won't dry out your skin. it works really good :)

Skin care made of natural ingredients more better????

Is it skin care products made of natural ingredients like the body shop and the face shop more better or more suited for the majority of people????I had a friend who is an aspiring beautician told me her friend used products from the body shop and had problems!!!!!!

Skin care made of natural ingredients more better????
ready made products or herbal product claiming natural ussually not that much natural. So the effect on that kind is only minimal. If you know natural homemade methods(ingrediants from your kitchen cabinet) you get skin care so natural.





Here are some natural homemade tips to skin care--


For dry skin: Mix half teaspoon honey with the yolk of an egg and one tablespoon dried milk powder. Mix into a paste and apply. Remove after 20 minutes with water.


For oily skins: Mix half teaspoon honey with egg white and oneteaspoon lemon juice. Add fuller' a


For oily skin and enlarged: Add lemon juice and a littlemilk to oatmeal. Apply the paste and remove after 20 minutes with water. Do not use if there are eruptions.


For oily and combination skins: Mix one tablespoon yoghurt withfuller's earth and apply. Yoghurt itself can be applied on the face. It helps to soften the skin and restores the natural acid mantle.


For blackheads: Add the white of an egg to oatmeal and apply for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove with water, rubbing gently.


For sunburn: Add a little lemon juice to milk and apply with cotton wool. Mayonnaise can also be applied by itself. It helps to soothe sunburn..... read more----

Good skin care?

I have spent over 30 dollars on skin care products that don't work. There is this severe acne treatment that doesn't work for me. What are some home remdies? I have oily to combination skin I think. How can you figure out what skin type you have? Also, how long do you leave it on and how many times a day and how long until it works? I have really bad skin. I need all the help I can get and please don't suggest store-bought things unless they work REALLY good and fast.

Good skin care?
You sound reallly frustrated--and I do understand. But you need to realize that there is no immediate fix for skin care--it will take some time and consistancy on your part--as well as using products that treat your problems. I don't really know of home remedies to speak of, but I do know that drinking plenty of water--which does not mean soda, coffee, tea, etc.-- and getting rest, and eating a variety of healthy food, and cutting down on fats and chocolates may help. Also, a big thing that causes trouble for your face is to always be touching it!





All that being said, I suggest you go to avon.com and type in your zip code to find an avon representative in your area who can offer you some help, suggestions and products that may work for you. (I sell avon as my part time job and know that the clearskin line has been very successful for my own teen children--when they use it consistantly. You will find that avon is less expensive than many items you see at walmart or department stores or even thopse advertised on tv. And if you get a good avon rep, she/he will really work with you to get this under control.





Good luck. And do be sure to give whatever products you choose the time and consistantcy needed to see improvement.
Reply:if you want to know what kind of skin you have you have


try clinique.com


then go to the tab that says "my skin report"


they'll pretty much recommend products based on the type of skin you have


good luck :D
Reply:I would recommend you visit revolutioninbeauty.com. They have great homemade recipes and a products page with the cheapest links. It works, I use it.
Reply:I used to have ur problem with acne. I have an advice, but it will take some time, but it really worked for me..


first..1-cut down on caffeine


2-don't eat chocolate, pepsi , or any salty food whatsoever


3-drink lots of water every day ( always keep a bottle beside u)


4- Don't use products made for the oily skin ( as they work on dehydrating the skin from its oils , consequently stimulating it secrete more oils)


5- Put sun block on ur skin ( sun makes acne too much worse),u can also put it if u stay infront of the computer or tv for a long time.


6- Try to exercise


7-never touch ur acne


8- Eat lots of fruits ( Oranges, bananas, apples, pine apples are best fruits skin)








I know it may sound all ' bla bla ' to you..but it's the best so far. Most of what I told were said to me by my doctor. Naturally it will take some time for results to appear, but it's worth it. Good luck
Reply:Artistry has really really good skin care that works wonders. All of their products are completely guarenteed to work or they will give you a full refund of your money with no questions asked. Their Balancing System is for people with combination to oily skin and it has done wonders from me. Honestly I mix their skin care systems. I use the Balancing face wash but the hydrating toner and moisturiser because they do allow you to customize which system you would like. Anyway since I started using Artistry my skin has looked so good and believe me I had bad acne. I will tell you that I do also use their soothing creme and their acne gel works great as well. For being a prestige brand of skin care they are not that pricey either. You can't buy their products in stores but you can get them at http://www.adrennan.qhealthbeauty.com I reccomend the Balancing System or their Acne system called Clear.now which is also a really good system. The balancing system is just a little more mild. Like I said they do have an acne spot treatment gel. I would just go to the website and read about all of them and just go from there. :)
Reply:Sounds like you aren't using the right products. I'm guessing from your question that you have acne. BeautiControl has skin care systems that are based on your age, and specialized systems for people with ance-prone skin or sensitive skin. Check them out at www.beautipage.com/malorifulgham%26gt;shop now!%26gt;skin care%26gt;daily skin care%26gt;your age OR shop now!%26gt;skin care%26gt;acne-prone care if you have problems with acne





Generally, you would use these products twice a day, except for the scrub which you use about once a week. Your facial skin takes approximately 30 days to regenerate itself. So, once you start using a skin care program REGULARLY, you should see the biggest difference in about a month. Keep in mind that your skin may get worse before it gets better because you are pulling all of the impurities out of the deeper layers of your skin and bringing them to the surface. But, once you've used it for a few days, you will definitely see an improvement.
Reply:I can definately understand your frustration. I had cystic acne from about the time I was 13 until adulthood. It is painful, sore and embarassing at times. If you are using a good acne treatment program, it should not matter if you have dry, oily or combination skin. It should be good enough that it self adjusts to your skin's needs. A good chemical free exfoliation masque is also good to use.





Vitamin C and Vitamin A are supposed to be good to clear up acne. Also salicylic acid is a great alternative to the drying effects of benzoyl peroxide. Make sure you drink a lot of water (but not so much that you slosh around!) and wash your face with a gentle, chemical-free cleanser.





This really helped me:

Reply:try to keep your skin less oily so wash your face at least 2 times a day and when your somewhere else just get a tissue to dab away the oil


i tried alot of home remedies and a few of them work slightly





this is what i do


mix salt in hot water (2 tablespoons for 1 cup of water)


get a cotton swab and soak it in the salt water for 30 seconds


after that wring it out a bit and just hold it to the white head


you can tell if it works when it starts to tingle ( the salt disinfects the white head)


after that ice the pimple down( the pimple will get smaller)


oh and some people say to put toothpaste on


it works for the first few days but it irritated my skin so I'm not sure about toothpaste


some home remedies don't work because it just irritates the pimples more





hope this helps

If my skin is dehydrated what is the best skin care regime?

my skin has alot of lines in it,it looks realy tired haggared, and dry, and flakes sometimes and i am only 25,im very fair skinned but the main problem is that it produces an awfull lot of oil to the excess where my pores are enlarged i dont realy tend to get spots just a few blackheads but everytime i wear my foundation it just gets oily straight after i put it on and doesnt stay on my skin it just looks awfull and realy dull, i have been doin some searchin and my symptoms seem to point to being realy dehydrated as i have dry skin, so its overcompensating by releasing more oil but what is the best regime and skin care products i could use to get rid of this problem im allready drinkin water and using cleanser evian remineralising creme for dry and sensetive skin, nivea visage toner for normal combination skin, and moisturizer nivea visage rich daily moisture cream i know having dry skin u should avoid products with alcohol,any suggestions its realy gettin me down. many thanks

If my skin is dehydrated what is the best skin care regime?
Medically it is known as xeroderma.Dry skin could be due to various factors:


deficiency of vitamin A, systemic illness, overexposure to sunlight, or medication.


Its good that you are taking good amount of water


avoid warm bath or shower


protect your skin from sun


take vitamin A and E supplements


Consider taking cod liver oil or fish oil supplements, in liquid form, every day. Drink freshly extracted carrot juice, if you can, every day; carrot juice is an excellent cleanser for the liver, great for the skin.


After a soothing bath or shower at night just before bedtime, apply a thin layer of coconut oil over your entire body; it'll even last on your skin through your shower in the morning. Use a thin layer of coconut oil under your make-up, if you wear it, to moisturize and soften your skin throughout the day.


Coconut oil is the best healing, soothing, and moisturizing treatment I've found for dry skin; in fact all types of skin conditions, skin eruptions, pimples, acne, milia, irritations, cuts, burns, fungus, etc. When you buy coconut oil, make sure you get the kind that hasn't been refined, processed and deodorized.
Reply:get something for dry skin like palmers, and drink a lot pf water to keep your body well hydrated
Reply:if u r sin is oily u can apply the juice of alovera plant which removes the oil content in u r skin.apply rose water to u r skin.buddy even i am suffering from this problem
Reply:have you considered good old fashioned petroleum jelly. Vaseline swathed onto the skin following a nightly bath before you go to bed and loose cotton clothing will do amazing things for your skin. Moisture will come back, the natural oils will not be stinted, and it will also encourage your skins health. IF you find your hands and feet are particularly rough, wear cotton gloves and cotton socks after rubbing in the jelly.





Don't knock it till you try it. Even works for those with eczema.
Reply:Keep drinking the water like its religion. "Bijore" strips really do work at getting rid of black heads and minimizing pores over time. You may have to use a combination of lotions to fix all the problems. I suggest Ponds dry skin cream on the dry areas and L'Oreal pure zone on the oily ones. You may also want to for go the makeup for a while.. Another helpful trick is after washing your face at night, put some vitamin E oil all over your face even the oily spots (straight out of the capsule) before bed. Use a pillow that you don't care about because it is sticky. You should be looking great in no time at all.
Reply:Please check following site www.amwayindia.com for skin care and if dont get product then contact me at jcvirani@tatachemicals.com Here you will get some aloe vera based product and also some product which removes fine lines.
Reply:Hello,


Drink lots of water an exercise regulary. This increases the blood flow and improves skin tone. Water is "very" important to the condition of the skin.

Reply:try this care treatment for your skin, cleanse,tone,repeat. use a face mask, remove face mask and then apply face cream .do this at least once a week .cleanse and tone and use face cream night and morning .but you only need to cleanse once morning and night for the rest of the week.also try drinking upto 8 glasses of water a day.

Spa skin care items?

I'm having a spa party, and I'd like to purchase some inexpensive skin care items for hands, feet and face. I asked this question before, but I wasn't clear about what I wanted... people mainly gave me tips about makeup. I'm mainly looking for skin care products. Here are the ideas I have so far:





* St. Ives apricot scrub


* St. Ives clay mask


* Cetaphyl cleanser


* epsom salts for the feet


* lavender oil for the foot bath





These are all pretty reasonably priced. Can anyone think of other inexpensive spa items? Again, just skin care related.

Spa skin care items?
Find a Arbonne consultant in your area at www.arbonne.com


They will host a spa party for you, supply the products and usually have some freebies to give away. Yes, there will be a sales pitch but most are short (less than 10 minutes). The consultant will tailor the party to what you want, and its a great way to try botanically based products. Also it will not cost you a dime in products!
Reply:mud masks
Reply:well why don't you make your own! i'll try to find some for you. and lush has very good spa things too!
Reply:It looks like you've got most of it covered, but I might get some nail polish and nail files so you guys can give yourselves manicures and pedicures. That would go along great with the foot bath. You could also try a hair mask if you want to go all out - they're inexpensive and add moisture and body to hair. Have fun!
Reply:the sanctuary is a fab make in is luxurious and they can some up with some ideas also the body shop is good for that sort of thing
Reply:If you want the ultimate Spa Party you need to look into BeautiControl and their products. They were the 1st company to bring the spa to the home. You would not be disappointed using any of these.

Skin care cheap?

I was just wondering if there are any skin care products out there that are really cheap and good quality? I have recently checked out elfcosmetics.com and they only have make up but it is good quality and everything sells dirt cheap for one dollar and I was wondering if there were any sites for cheap skin care products like elfcosmetics where it only costs one dollar?

Skin care cheap?
Cheap usually means full of fillers and chemicals or out of date products. I would not go with cheap for skincare. You are just asking for problems later.

But try to have a good quality skincare line, it's essential to the health of ur skin...


U can buy cheap make-up, but cheap cleansers and moisturizers will have its consequences later...
Reply:how about Olay skincare works very well or maybe Dove new skincare line or perhaps neutrogena is really good.
Reply:I used to be a fan of Lancome products. But since I've been a single mum for a while, I now find AVON products equally fantastic and far less expensive. Or else Neutrogena is great, too.
Reply:I have been using the Zenmed products for about a month, and I have noticed a change in my skin. I started Zenmed products 7 weeks ago and it's much better. I love the fact that it’s all natural and pure. I am Totally satisfied with product quality and results. Try it once...


Skin Care stores?

Do you know any skin care stores that would have like Glyderm, or Cellex-C?


You will get 10 points if you tell me a store that has skin care products and only if I find of those two products, you will get the 10 points,thanks.

Is skin care business against God?

Hi. I want to start a skin care business but I am wondering if this is an ethical industry. I want to know what God fearing people think. Is it wrong to sell skin care products that help people change the way they are? Is it wrong to make money off peoples insecurities? Is it wrong to to sell things like anti-aging products and skin creams that treat things like wrinkles, age spots, etc.?

Is skin care business against God?
anythng that does good to ur skin, health, body... watsoever pleases the creator... the bibles teaches us how to take care of the REAL temple of the holy spirit--- thats our physical aspect...

Is it moral? Some people think it is not moral. The morality of it should be your concern. Not if some god likes it.
Reply:It sounds like you have reservations about this. pray and let Him guide you in your decision. But if you don't feel peace then don't do it.
Reply:Honey we can give you all the things we believe, and I know this isn't why you asked the question, but the only one who can know what God truly desires of you, is God. So even though you weren't looking for this answer, it should be the first thing on your mind :). Everyone here have different beliefs, but God's word means only one thing to everyone. So the only way you will find the answer is to search for it. :)

Reply:gee, is it wrong to sell prosthetic limbs? doesn't God WANT them to be limbless? and Alcholics Anonymous, who do they think they are? God WANTS those drunks to continue to languish in their own vomit.





reminds me of the joke about the guy on his roof in a flood; he turns down a rescue from a rowboat, then later a helicopter, telling his would be rescuers that he has faith and God will save him. When his eventual drowning occurs and he finds himself in Heaven, he rails at God for failing him, to which God replies "Whadaya want? I sent you a boat and a helicopter"
Reply:I don't recall there be anything saying "Though shall not look good"





Clearly people of faith disagree on many things. But few women of faith feel that a facial and manicure will send them to hell!





I think the real question for you is "Will I feel good about myself helping others to look their best?" If the answer is yes, Go for it! If you have reservations about this being a good use of your talents, you may want to do something else.
Reply:If you do this in the spirit of health care (like doctors, pharmacologists) and have the necessary official license, and also follow necessary ethics, then I see no reason, why it should be wrong.
Reply:You'd be helping people feel better about themselves. That in turn helps them to do better in their lives. What's wrong with that? It's not preying upon unhappy people. I doubt God cares about what kind of face cream anyone uses. He's got bigger fish to fry and you are making an issue out of something that isn't.

Reply:The Weak and the Strong





1 Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters.


2 One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.


3 The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him.


4 Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.


5 One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind.


6 He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.


7 For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone.


8 If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.


9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.


10 You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.


11 It is written:


"'As surely as I live,' says the Lord,


'every knee will bow before me;


every tongue will confess to God.'"[1][[11] Isaiah 45:23]


12 So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.


13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way.


14 As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food[2][[14] Or that nothing] is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.


15 If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother for whom Christ died.


16 Do not allow what you consider good to be spoken of as evil.


17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,


18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.


19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.


20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.


21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall.


22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves.


23 But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
