Hi ladies, I’m in need of some advice. I look online all the time, and take all the necessary precautions before shaving my bikini line. I also take good care afterwards, but I must have some insanely sensitive skin because no matter WHAT I do, I always get some crazy razor burn. I don’t know what to do. So, I wait forever for it to heal and am afraid to shave it again. I always keep my “area” very well trimmed, but I just really hate hair. I don’t use dull or rusty razors, I try not to press down too hard while shaving, I use shave gel instead of regular soap because I heard Dr. Oz say it’s better for shaving. I lotion… Nothing seems to work. So, I ask you what I can do. Should I just cave and get a wax? I’ve never done that before, but would it be better than shaving?
Thanks for your help.
Ouch! Go to Ulta or the Bliss website and purchase the Remington/Bliss bikini electric shaver. It has all of the different heads you’ll need. If you are really brave use the epilator. Otherwise stick with the shaving heads. It runs around $70. Much easier and better than a razor or waxing. And what the heck does Dr. Oz know about this?

Do you prefer to see pregnant women in skin tight clothes or something loose fitting like it used to be?
I’m just watching the ”weather girl”, who is about 8 months pregnant, on our local channel and she’s wearing a skin tight top and tight pants.
You can see her belly button protruding.
And anytime I’m at the beach, it amazes me that these ladies wear the skimpiest bikinis.
Maybe it’s just me, but I really don’t care for it.
What happened to maternity clothes?
I’m with you, just another example of the deterioration of what used to be known as decency!.
As a nurse, there were dress codes for all staff. When I was recovering from surgery for a ruptured appendix, a “nurse”, supposedly she was an RN and the head nurse of the floor came in to start an IV. Her hair was a spiked dyed black mess sticking everywhere, she wore platform slide in shoes, a lacy blouse which when she bent one could dee her cleavage down to to her waist, Skirt barely below her cheeks, and to top it off she wore no badge telling who or what she was to the facility. If a professional person will dress that way, if a person who appears on TV “reporting” the weather or whatever, it is inappropriate dress, pregnant or not pregnant.
work on a scar that’s about a year and a half old? I have a scar that’s…pretty obviously self-inflicted & I want to try to make it less visible. I know, I know, I shouldn’t have done this to myself in the first place. But trust me, I learned from my mistakes.
I tried Mederma on scars before and to be honest I’d advise you not to waste your money. It did absolutely nothing and made my skin itch and peel (I don’t have sensitive skin or anything and usually don’t have any problems like this!). I tried Bio Oil or a few months and it did seem to help, it reduced the redness and size of the scar so it was just a fine silver line. But to be honest if your scar has already gone down to this size and has turned white/silverish (as they sometimes do with time) then your not going to get it any smaller with lotions and stuff.
If it is a raised scar you could try silicone scar sheets (for example, ScarAway is often recommended) which softens and flattens the scar and reduces redness and size.
I also haven’t tried this myself as its relatively new (where I live anyway) but there are those new LED light therapy beds which are supposed to help stimulate collagen which helps reduce the appearance of scars….its something you could try although I would research it thoroughly as there is some debate over whether it actually works.
I can see how frustrating it is for you to be left with these scars now so I wish you the best of luck

do you care if your skincare and makeup are poisonous products?
this site has a petition so the fda will do its job and tell companies to keep dangerous chemicals out of our beauty products. If you don’t know why its a problem look around the site, read the skin deep newsletter. Many of these harsh chemicals can compromise our reproductive organs, the nervous system, other chemicals increase absorption of the toxic chemicals. These dangerous chemicals also affect the environment. PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION,its at the bottom of the page.
sundance : european standards are more strict so you can but some eurpean products, I bought some sephorea products. I also know that organig products have higher standards as long as they are usda certified. look up organic makup, and organic skincare you can find some informative websites.
?????: this is something that really concerns me why dont you worry about your own concerns? Whats your problem?
Wow! I didn’t know about this at all. Where can people buy better stuff?
Hi,
I’m a teenager with mild acne and rosacea. How can I properly care for my skin to keep it healthy and treat the acne/rosacea? What does your skin care regimen consist of? I have extremely delicate skin and cannot tolerate harsh products
Well I would suggest that if you wear makeup always choose makeup that is oil-free. Make sure that you wash your face really well after you are done wearing it. You also want to find some good skin care products to help with acne. I would recommend checking out the mark skincare line. They have a product called “get clearance” its an anti-acne blemish treatment. You can visit the website www.mymarkstore.com/talexander and take the skin care quiz to find out what products would best suit your needs.
I see it in videos with spas and Esthetician’s, their tools that they use. What are they? I know of the blackhead tool that Tweezerman uses and that’s not what I’m talking about. Things like this picture: http://blog.reneerouleau.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/lydia_renee_rouleau.jpg The little head wrap to keep their hair out of the work space or the facial sponges. Where do they get them?
Thanks!
I’ve found the head wrap at dollar stores. Sally’s is a store for beauticians and the public. They have both the head wraps and triangle sponges. Really good triangle sponges can be purchased through BeautiControl.com or one of their reps.
i try and wash my face twice a day and always use moisturizer but my pimples get worse. also they’re only around my mouth, so they’re really hard to cover up with foundation. i’ve tried loads of natural remedies : lemon juice, egg whites, garlic and cinammon. can somebody give me a natural remedy which actually works, or just some tips on how to reduce the pimples. thanks!!!
Natural remedies are probably breaking you out. Here are some tricks for awesome skin:
1. NEVER TOUCH YOUR FACE, Ever.
2. Cleanse with something containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.
3. No matter your skin type, must use moisturizer at night. Try Bieuxskin from Sephora. It’s $$ but it’s insanely amazing.
4. If must wear makeup, try Bare Minerals or an OIL FREE Foundation.
5. Do not pick, pop, or mess with pimples in any way. I know it’s tempting but as soon as you pop, 3 more will appear. That’s because of the bacteria (sebum) that you release. Gross, but true.
If worse comes to worse and nothing heals, go see a dermatologist and get Renova or Retin-A.
Hope this helps!

Has anyone got any overnight skin care treatment ready for my prom tomorrow?
I’m wondering if anyone has any natural tips that are simple and easy to carry out that will leave my skin feeling great for my prom tomorrow night?
Stay out the sun today.
• Grind a few pieces of orange peel in water. Apply this on face to dry out pimples.
• Mix one tablespoon of lime juice with one tablespoon of groundnut oil. This mixture is effective in preventing blackheads.
Is Vaseline dry skin conditioning lotion safe to use?
Is it safe to use? does they contain negative side effect?
Im worry about caring product because not many companies care about the product but their gain.. and i know no product are 100% accurate safe to use..but just to be sure
Yes it is safe to use. And the results are great. Especially if you have dry skin then you will love it.
I was wondering how to do a skin care routine. For example, step 1, step 2, step 3, and so on. I want to know if you use a facial cleanser first then Deep Exfoliating Scrub second then toner third then moisturizer. I don’t know which to use first and how to do it morning and night. Do I do the same for morning and night or do I do it differently. Please also recommended some drugstore skin care products. Thanks.
It would help to know your skin type.
I have oily acne prone skin and here is my routine, obviously different things work for different people:
Morning:
Aveeno Daily Skin Brightening Scrub – this doesn’t have any real “scrub” to it but it’s a great cleanser
Olay 7 effects moisturizer under my eyes and whole face if I am not using a foundation with SPF or a sunscreen
Sunscreen is the most important thing you can do for your skin.
Night:
Origins Clean Energy Oil Cleanser – washing your face with oil when you have acne and oily skin seems dumb but it’s the best thing I have done for my skin, it’s made a huge difference.
Body Shop Tea Tree Toner – only during breakouts
Neutrogena Acne stress control 3 in 1 – this is a bha and is used to chemically exfoliant oily skin, I use this on my T-zone since it is oily and has blackheads
Neostrata Oil Free smoothing lotion level 3 – this is an aha it is used to exfoliate drier areas or reduce redness, I use this on my cheeks.
Tea Tree oil – spot treatment on pimples
L’oreal lash serum – to strengthen my lashes at night.
eye cream – Nivea aquasource and Neutrogena eye cream.
I also sometimes use Estee lauder advanced night repair. When I do it’s before I used the bha and after the toner.
Make sure if you are going to use a mechanical exfoliator (scrub) that it is very gentle. Many scrubs are too harsh and can cause more damage than good, a chemical exfoliator (aha or bha) will do a better job and be more gentle.
If you have any more question just add details, I will check back and try to answer.
My Morning Skin Care Routine Step 2 – Exofoliation
I have been searching everywhere to find out what this skincare tool is called! i want to get one but i need to know if it is good, & what it is called!
isn’t it like .. a microbeadiem brush or something :S ?
THIS IS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE >>
This tool is called a Micro-Dermabraision wand. It is used to buff away all the dead skin cells on your face, leaving you with a fresh layer of clean skin.
I hope I helped *_*
Maroon stools for 3 days and new unset dizziness his skin is rather pale? With more information included?

What is Mr. Jones”s Diagnosis is?
More information
****he is independent with ADLs, just help with yard care and grocery shopping in which he is limited by arthritic pain, well-developed, well-nourished man, looks younger than his stated age, did smoke for 40 years and stoped it 10 years ago.
Thank you again
His blood pressure medicine is probably causing the dizziness. His pressure is fine, but I bet he gets dizzy when he has been sitting and then stands up,or has been laying down resting and then arose. This is a very common side effect of blood thinners which is what the Hydrochlorothiazide is for. Just help him rise slower,or once he is standing,just stand still until the dizziness eases. I also think I would contact his doc and inquire about eliminating the blood pressure meds, it is very controlled on meds,does it just climb like crazy without them? His stools being dark may be caused by foods,beets are real good at making you think you have blood in your stool,maybe check his diet and see if any foods could be the culprit. Otherwise, I would think his bowels are probably slow, and the stools are old fecal matter. You said he does suffer with constipation. Good luck, it’s great that you are there for him.
Essential Skin Care for Your Forties [DermTV.com Epi #312]
I’m 17 and I have a couple of wrinkles under my eye, can I use Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Wrinkle eye cream?
That contains Retinol SR, Hyaluronic Acid, Microspheres, and Peptides?
Or will it be too harsh for my young skin? I want to protect my skin while I’m young so I wont have to worry in the future with using a bunch of products..I know that Retinol is sun sensitive so I’ll apply it during the night and if in the day, I’ll apply sunscreen. So could I still use it? And will it save me skin in the future for taking care of it now?
No its probably just wrinkles from not sleeping enough. If you are only 17 it has nothing to do with aging just get enough sleep and eat healthy.
so all of my life i have battled with acne ( unfortunately i got screwed with some crappy genes..oh well ) anyway, its been much better the last few years due to growing up and and keeping clean. although the improvement was wonderful, i have recently started working at a job that requires me to be outside in the florida heat all day doing rather laborious activities, thus causing me to sweat more. as soon as i get home, i go straight to the shower, but i find that im breaking out more (probably because of being sweaty and dirty for a lot of the day). any suggestions on how to control the acne in this situation?
any input is appreciated.
thanks.
also, its not bad enough to need to go on accutane..but enough for it to bother me.
I suggest Phisoderm, three or four times a day.
The whole washing the skin thing is critically important at your age, and the acne crap companies take advantage of that. Just washing with soap & water will improve most problems. except for acne vulgaris, which is about toxins in the blood stream. That is of course helped sometimes with acutane.
Just rinse off every chance you get. Constrution site? find a hose. Picking fruit? I wouldn’t use anything out there, liable to be toxic materials in the system. Carry a wet cloth in a zip bag and wash the open areas when you get a chance.
How might the film Dream Catcher have improved had James Cameron directed?
I think Dream Catcher which got bad reviews and lost more money than it made would have been Oscar worthy had James Cameron directed it especially since there were action scenes in it and Cameron is good at putting together action scenes woven around an emotional tale between characters so you care about the people and what is happening to them instead of just waiting for the next colossal explosion to rock your senses. Instead of being skin and bones, Dream Catcher would have had some serious meat on it. Ha!
He would definitely have improved it, but he would probably have made some serious changes to the story line. (not that that’s a bad thing.)
“I do not care what car you drive. Where you live. If you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. If your clothes are this year’s cutting edge. If your trust fund is unlimited. If you are A-list B-list or never heard of you list. I only care about the words that flutter from your mind. They are the only thing you truly own. The only thing I will remember you by. I will not fall in love with your bones and skin. I will not fall in love with the places you have been. I will not fall in love with anything but the words that flutter from your extraordinary mind.”
Love doesn’t cost money, but it does require payment of your heart.
Love is giving someone the ability to break your heart and trusting them not to.
You know you’re in love when the hardest thing to say is “goodbye.”
Love: a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and lips to pucker.
Love is a friendship set to music.
Love makes time pass; time makes love pass.
Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.
You are the light in a dark room and I am the moth who can’t resist it.
I can’t walk on water, but your love for me has me walking on air.
I dropped a teardrop in the ocean and the day you find it … is the day I’ll stop loving you.
Do you love me because I am beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?
The more you center your life on someone, the more unattractive you become to that person.
Don’t fall for someone who won’t be there to catch you.
If you leave me, can I come too.
Each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. [Rosemonde Gerard]
Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman, but luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man.
“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.” – Judy Garland
Love is a feeling that you’re gonna have a feeling of a feeling like you’ve never felt before.
You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love. Henry Drummond
Sometimes it’s a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence. David Byrne
Love you once, love you still. Always have, and always will.
A man gave a woman 12 roses, 11 real and 1 fake. With the roses he gave her a note saying, “I’ll love you until the last one dies.”
I’m not supposed to love you, I’m not supposed to care. I’m not supposed to live my life wishing you were there. I’m not supposed to wonder where you are or what you do. I’m sorry I just can’t help myself, I fell in love with you.
If you get a chance to see him, your heart begins to dance. Your life revolves around him, there’s nothing like romance.
i am 25 years old working India girl. i have fair skin and nearly don’t have sports problem at face, its oily especially around nose. want to make my skin bright and pink glow. i currently am using Nivea Visage sparking glow night care cream, its OK not bad its makes my skin little bright and pink but i notice nivea company stop producing it so i am thinking to go with another brand.
any idea in ponds which one is good.
You need to use a skin care line together. They will work best because they are a system. Find one especially for combination skin. Use the cleanser, toner, day cream & night cream.
I’m not impressed with Ponds. I always associate it with grandmothers.
My favorite line is Act 1,2,&3. Maybe you can find it online. I get mine from work
The best one (mainstream) would be Olay. It’s reasonably priced & you can buy it everywhere. That way if you’re traveling & forgot something it will be easily accessible. Hope this helps you!!
Good Luck
Should i use Philosophy skin care or rare minerals by bare escentuals for my sensitive skin?
I do not have severe acne….Just tiny little bumps under my skin. Nothing has worked to get rid of them. I started eating much better and taking vitamins, however i want a new skincare. I have tried rare minerals but i heard more about philosophy. What do you think is better any why?….Thank you so much
both are well known and trusted brands,
but philosophy is better, in my opinion,
for sensitive skin.
How can I keep my hair and makeup staying the way I put?
Whenever I brush my hair and put makeup on it looks pretty good. But when I go to school I cant take care of it plus the school isn’t the most sanitary of places so things tend to fall apart. My hair is whiny and it gets to be ragged, and my makeup wears out and my skin looks dry. If there is any homemade remedies for this like mixing flour with your base makes it stay longer or something like that. Plus this isn’t just for school if I go out in public for a long time my make up and hair will fade too. I guess my face and hair need alot of attention but I can’t give that kind of work 24/7. Do you have an answer for this, thanks so much! And I will give ten points! (:
Face- after makeup, spray with Fix Plus (Sephora)
Also use a moisturizer before you apply you makeup.
Hair- idk, spritz spray or mousse
