Skin care help!!?
yes, its fine
Reply:it is perfectly all right to mix as long as it is suitable for your skin type. if you have oily skin/young skin -best stick to oil free range.Always remove make-up with a cleansing lotion %26amp; double cleanse with foam cleanser before bedtime or you will clog up pores
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 help?
I am 30 years old and just starting to notice the 1st signs of ageing. What skin care products (and brand names) are recommended from experience?
Skin care help?
use lots of oil of olay products...
Reply:Arbonne makes a great skin care line, I love the Not-so -basic line.
Reply:Try the Wexler products at Bath %26amp; Body Works. They are a little pricey, but I love the results. Also, I find that Oil of Olay products work really great as well! I hope this helps! :)

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. Check out my website for more details on the Velocity Skin Care Set and the Acne Treatment Get or you can e-mail me with any questions.

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.
