What eye cream, foundation, concealer and powder works best for lines and dark circles under the eyes?

I’m 42 and have recently starting working part-time and am, thus, wearing make-up more often. When I look in the mirror during the day, I’m shocked at how noticeable the lines under my eyes are. I apply foundation and use a yellow concealer (no particular brand) and then powder. I need to know of a good foundation and powder that will conceal wrinkles. (I’ve read that an illuminating powder works best.) Also, I was using Olay regenerist eye lifting serum but am now using ROC eye cream. Recently, I read that applying cucumber daily for 15 minutes may help reduce swelling and dark circles. Is this true?

The best thing to conceal under eye lines is to apply olive oil under your eyes every night. Mediterranean women have been doing this forever and it really works!

To conceal.. I always use Estee Lauder double wear foundadtion with NO powder.. When you put powder under your eyes, it has a tendency to make the lines noticeable. Put powder on the rest of your face but avoid under the eyes.

Hope this helps!

back moisturizer
What is a good body moisturizer for acne-prone skin?

I have a good facial moisturizer and I use body butter for my arms and legs, but I need something for my back and chest. The skin in this area is prone to cystic acne so I don’t want anything that would have even the remotest possibility of plugging the pores, and definitely oil-free. The skin, especially on my back, gets pretty dry in winter. Any suggestions?

face moisturizer
What’s the best face moisturizer for men?

My face is really dry and I was wondering if you guys can recommend me face moisturizers for men. Thanks
Do these have a scent to them?

Hey there,

Using a moisturizer with oil in it is essential for dry skin, so avoid purchasing any “gels” which are usually directed at men, instead look for a “lotion”.

With great skin comes good skin care routine so i would always make sure your using a face wash day and night also, one with added emolients to that softens your face ready for the moisturizer to work more effectivly!

Soo, i would recommend Clinque Skin supplies for men in
- Regular Face wash (around £12)
- M-Lotion (around £19.50)

They are really easy and nice products, im a consultant at clinique and we get great reviews of them!

Hope that helps!

skin care solutions store
Does the Proactive skin care solution work?

The commerical with Jessica Simpson or Jennifer Love Hewitt. It’s an 3 step acne solution, and I think the only place you can buy it is on the TV. Since it’s only 20.00$ compared to the 75$ solutions in stores, I was wondering if it was worth ordering off the TV

NO!
Dont get it…my cousin got it and he had to do the kit everyday, or he would get MAJOR breakouts. It doesnt help it just makes your skin addicted to it, so you keep buying it.

Does Cetaphil Cleanser take off sunscreen?

I’m getting Clinique City Block Oil-Free SPF 25, and I use Cetaphil cleanser and Clinique gel moisturizer… will the cetaphil take off the SPF, or should i get the clinique make up removing milk and then follow up with the cetaphil?

Yes, I wear tons of sunblock(never to early to protect from the sun) and at night I just use cetaphil cleanser and it removes sunblock, AND all my makeup beautifully. I feel so fresh afterwards. good luck :)
p.s. i love clinique sunscreen!

best aftershave moisturizer
can my cologne last longer?

Ive heard layering works. However Boss PURE dosent have any moisturizers that i can layer with. Im stuck with the options of Aftershave Lotion and Balm.

Can i use them on my body as a first layer and then spray my toilette on for a scent that will pretty noticeable for about 7 hours?

If not what else can i do to make my scent stay strong and last long?

The lotion and balm should be pretty safe for your body, but ask a girl friend to check you for over-stink. ;) You may not think you can be smelled, but women have pretty sensitive noses! I’ve known men who can’t smell their cologne, but I can smell it half-way across the room.

And yes, layering does work! But seven hours might be asking a bit much. Maybe you can get a travel atomizer to refresh your scent later in the day. Something like this: http://www.christinecolumbus.com/products.asp?pID=1649

best anti-aging ingredients
Help finding the perfect anti-aging cream for 24yr old?

I know 24 may seem a little young, but I know prevention is the best method, and I want to post pone those wrinkles as long as I can!

I am not big on skincare (I have used dove my whole life and had pretty good results from it) so I don’t know where to begin when looking for a good anti-aging or wrinkle prevention cream. What are some good brands? What type of ingredients should I look for? Any key words? or any other advice you may have to offer in this category.

Thanks!

Basically, you need to wear make up with SPF in it, always wear sun block, keep yourself hydrated, don’t drink too much alcohol or caffeine, don’t smoke and moisturise with a decent moisturiser like Oil of Olay. Wrinkle prevention is all down to keeping sun damage at bay. Expensive creams don’t work unless they contain SPF.

best anti-aging face moisturizer
best facial moisturizer for dry, sensitive skin?

okay, i have acne prone skin, and my acne is not bad but to keep it under control, i use a lot of prescription gels and creams on my face and special washcloths with benzoyl peroxide and stuff. all of these things were prescribed to me by a dermatologist, but they make my skin SO DRY. right now i use the cetaphil daily moisturizer with spf but my skin is so dry that it burns when i put it on.

its dry to the point where my face makeup looks like crap because my skin is flaky.

does anyone have a really good face moisturizer that is oil free and is really moisturizing and will not irritate or burn my skin? thanks so much if you answer.

by the way, im 16 so nothing with like anti-aging ingredients in it.

Don’t listen to girl number 1! DO NOT KEEP APPLYING IT IF IT BURNS! Because you have sensitive skin you need a sensitive moisturizer. Olay has one for sensitive skin and it work sssooo great! You can find it the drugstore and there will be a whole line. Read the front and pick the best one for you!

best non greasy moisturizer
Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer?

Has anyone tried it? If so, how did it work out for you and would you recommend it? If not, are there any other ones that you can suggest for me? I want one that feels very light and non-greasy, but that will last all day.

Other tinted moisturizers I am interested in are the ones by Shiseido, Bobbi Brown, and Stila. If you can give me any comments on these ones too it would be appreciated. Thanks!
I’m an avid user of makeupalley.com too =] i just wanted other people’s opinions as well though.

I work at a certain department store and have a good friend that works at the Laura Mercier counter. When she isn’t there I usually end up helping people at that counter. I can tell you this much…lots of people buy their tinted moisturizer! She says that their tinted moisturizer and foundation primers are their top sellers! I say try it out, if it doesn’t work for you just return it….good luck!

natural moisturizer sensitive skin
What are the best natural skincare products for acne-prone skin?

My skin is combination, sensitive (as in I am prone to dryness, breakouts, and severe hives), and very acne prone. I just began to use Dr. Bronner’s Magic soap (diluted, of course!) on my face. It cleans very well, but now that I have an organic soap, I figured I may as well opt for an organic toner, moisturizer, and spot treatment.

For a toner, I’m assuming it will need to be witch hazel based, but I’m not sure if I should just use Dickinson’s or something else (Thayer’s?)

For a moisturizer, all I need is something that will keep my face soft and moist and not break me out. That’s always the tough one to find :(

For a spot treatment I know I’ll need tea tree oil, but what is the best brand?

Thanks in advance!

PS- is there anything natural that will help acne scars?

i buy everything from there.
it’s natural and inexpensive.

Where do I go to buy the Resveratrol Ultra Advanced Natural Cleansing Formula online?

I would like a link to it. I have already seen the Resveratrol Ultra Anti-Aging bottle, but I am not sure if its the same because the bottles are different. Thank you everyone.

Have you tried ebay? If its available online, you can usually find it there. Also, if its not there now, you can set up a saved search and ebay will email you when anything matching your keywords comes up in a listing.

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=1&pub=5574690244&toolid=10001&campid=5336371107&customid=&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg

If you don’t already have an ebay account, you might want to consider getting one. Just make sure you buy from a seller with a 99% or better rating and over 100 sales. I have never had any problem as long as I have followed those guidelines.
Good luck!

Can AHA lotions rejuvinate skin and prevent cancer?

I have this co worker who’s rather old and he’s had basal cell carcinoma several times on his face and body earlier in his life. He’s cancer free now. Christmas is coming up and I’ve heard that lotions with AHA can rejuvinate skin and reduce freckles and imperfections of the skin over time. I’m wondering if such lotions can give you better skin health and reduce the chances of getting cancer? Sunblock is a must when you’re outside but is there anything to help older skin return to a healthy state? Thanks.

facial cleanser with salicylic acid

Girls go through a great deal of physical and psychological changes during puberty. These changes include body composition, fat distribution, menstruation, growth spurts, body and facial hair growth, body odor and skin changes. The body physically changes as the fat tissue increases in the hips, thighs, and breasts producing the typical hourglass shape of females. With all these changes going on, what effect does acne have on girls during puberty?

During puberty girls experience an increased likelihood and severity of acne from the increased oil secretions in the skin. Puberty is often a difficult time and acne only adds to the difficulty. During puberty girls usually experience increased irritability, mood swings, and feelings of low self esteem. Even girls who have been very sure of themselves may suffer from low self esteem when puberty sets in. These changes may be even more severe in the girl also suffers from acne.

The negative changes in girls during puberty are made even worse if acne is a problem. You can help deal with the changes when you know how to lessen the problems of acne.

Practical Acne Treatments For Girls…

Proper skin care is the first step in treating acne. The face should be gently washed with a facial cleanser. There are many skin care products on the market that may help with acne. To kill the bacteria that cause acne the cleanser should contain salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide or sulfur. Gentle cleansing is an important factor when dealing with acne. A common mistake is to clean the face too often and with harsh cleansers. Careful cleaning of the face twice a day is the best way to go.

There are some cosmetics that can be detrimental if you are trying to control acne so it is important to use non-comedogenic products. Non-comedogenic products are less likely to cause acne, blackheads or block the pores of the skin. Today there are many non-comedogenic products available, such as makeup, lip stick, moisturizers, and even acne medicated makeup.

The changes experienced during puberty can take a mental and physical toll on girls. The onset of acne certainly makes these changes even harder to deal with. It is a good idea to visit with a dermatologist if the acne can not be controlled with over-the-counter medications. A dermatologist will understand the changes that are associated with acne and will be able to offer advice and treatment programs. It’s also important to be understanding and offer support to girls as puberty can be a difficult time to go through.

best natural anti-aging products
Should i start using anti-aging products as a teen?

I’m a 15 year old girl and i take very good care of my skin. I have a morning and night routine. I use Alba botanica sea mineral cleansing gel (is a natural product), Alba botanica sea kelp facial toner (Natural product), and Nivea classic cream (that i have been using all of my life). I exfoliate my skin once or twice a week (St. Ives apricot scrub but looking into Alba botanica facial scrub which is a natural product) and i use a mask once a week or less (Alba botanica and again, natural) . I use an SPF of 50 Broad spectrum everyday if i go outside. I eat a lot of fruits and drink a lot of water. Do you think i am doing things right? is there a need of using anti-aging products at my age? Or should i just keep doing what I’m doing?
One more thing, I don’t use any makeup either.

Stick with the healthy eating and the water consumption is A+
Do not use Anti-aging products! At your age, by the time you are forty, fifty, and so on it’ll take it’s toll on you and your skin will get to the point where it’s dependent on the product and without it you have a way higher chances of becoming….. loose and wrinkly :o (

vitamin moisturizer
I was wondering if i can pop a vitamin E capsule and use it as moisturizer if i have acne prone skin?Thanks?

It wouldn’t be the best thing for your complextion , as you’re skin is developing enough oils.. that’s the reason for the acne. Your diet and hormones may have a better effect as to clearing that up .. Also the age is a big factor. skin moisturizers after cleansing , oil of Olay products were always the choice of the earlier generation , vitamin E will absorb and start to pocket as does acne.. If you cleanse your face ,don’t reverse the process by dirting it over. Let it breathe without layers of goop .. allow your skin to heal itself…
