Answer

 
 

hahahha YES.. be very careful where you go. ask the salon what kind of spray tan they use then go on the internet and research it. also, a really good bronzing cream for pale skin would be LoReal Bronzing Lotion.

Answer

 
 

Could be small ingrown hairs if it's on the backs of your upper arms and on the tops and backs of the thighs. You could have dry skin too. Get Amlactin lotion from any drug store, it will slowly slough off the dry skin and moisturize it as well. The active ingredient is lactic acid which is very mild. My daughter has this problem. Hope this helps.

Answer

 
 

The dry flaky patches aren't going to go away with moisturizer alone. You have to exfoliate. What happens is that the dead, dry skin is sitting on top of your face and your pores. You can put all the moisturizer in the world on your face, but if that dead, dry skin is sitting there, it won't get into your pores, and therefore, will not effectively hydrate. Exfoliation removes the dead, dry skin and opens the pores, so moisturizer can get in there and do its job. I use Clinque 7-Day Scrub after I wash my face. If you haven't exfoliated before, you should use this product for 7 days straight, then the next week for six days, etc.. or as often or as little as you think you need. (Should you decide to try it, the Clinique reps can give you more details about it.) I would also suggest the Clinique Clarifying Lotion, which is an exfoliant as well, to be used on days you do not use the scrub. You will find that your makeup goes on better and stays on longer if you exfoliate.

Answer

 
 

yes, most manufacturers have a green moisturiser that you can use under your foundation, or right after you moisturise, it keeps your colour tone down and even. Works a treat. Rimmel do a very good one, cheap and effective called colour calmer makeup base.

Answer

 
 

I know a girl who had this same problem. When she got upset she would break into a rash. Yes definitely mediation but better yet try to learn a meditation skill where the teacher will teach you how to control your anger through breathing exercises and so on... But be patient it takes practice and just remind yourself to be patient. That's what's all about. I have done work like that myself and I can help you. You can email me and I will be happy to help you. Be gentle with yourself... Love and peace with you...

Answer

 
 

Exfoliate regularly and drink plenty of water. Try to avoid caffeinated beverages during your time of month, and keep your skin hydrated, especially where it's oily. A lot of people don't moisturize oily skin, but it's important that you do.

I need help regarding stomach hair and laser removal...?

Hi, I'm 18 and as long as I can remember I've had dark stomach hair from below my belly button. At first it bothered me a little so I shaved or waxed it, but it always grew in and so I tried bleaching it but the hair was too thick to actually turn blond and it just turned a wierd orange color so I'd have to shave it anyway. The problem is I'm extremely prone to ingrown hairs, and every time I shaved and it would look nice it would grow back in disgusting little bumps I'd pick at and then it would scar.
 

Hi, I'm 18 and as long as I can remember I've had dark stomach hair from below my belly button. At first it bothered me a little so I shaved or waxed it, but it always grew in and so I tried bleaching it but the hair was too thick to actually turn blond and it just turned a wierd orange color so I'd have to shave it anyway. The problem is I'm extremely prone to ingrown hairs, and every time I shaved and it would look nice it would grow back in disgusting little bumps I'd pick at and then it would scar. So I went to electorlysis but that didn't do anything. Now I'm doing laser hair removal. I've been there three or four times and while it grows in in smaller amounts it's still dark and I still have the discoloration of past ingrown hairs (kind of like the scars from a scrape that eventually go away but for the time being are quite ugly) and as well they still come in ingrown. My concern is that I have a new boyfriend and I don't want him to be really grossed out; if I shave and wear cover up it isn't too bad but if I get more laser work it'll be pretty obvious something is up ( it turns red and a bit blotchy for about a week). If I tan it hides the scars but I need my skin to be light for the laser to work. All in all I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm at a loss. Any advice?

 

Answer

 
 

worry more about your body than your boyfriend if he's grossed out he isn't really into you when you have perfect smooth skin go tan and your confidence will be through the roof! hang in there and finish the laser treatments to get the hair gone! I had horrible ingrowns for years on the backs of my legs I didn't wear shorts in the summer =( But I sucked up another year and now no hair no ingrowns!

Answer

 
 

Toothpaste is good but it dries out your face a lot, so don't use it all the time! By blotchy do you mean uneven? Because one that I did that I really liked was oats and honey and milk. I never knew the exact measurements so I just guessed. It's supposed to be thicker though so you can leave it one your face for 15 min. It also acts as an exfoliant so it will get rid of the dead skin on your face and give it a nice glow! Also try this one, squeeze half a lemon and mix the juice with one beaten egg white. Apply on your face and leave for overnight. Wash your face with warm water in the morning. Also, go to this question, it's pretty much the same as yours and has some good answers! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071229074811AAIQa7W good luck

Blotchy, purple/blue spotted skin?

I am a 17 year old girl and for as long as I can remember I have had splotchy type circles on my skin. They are blue or red or purple and they all run together. Mainly I get them on my legs, but sometimes my arms too and it happens to my hands and feet, also my feet can get cold really easily. Could it be poor circulation? Thats what seems to fit the symptoms but I am fairly active and I don't think I have a poor diet and I seem to be healthy in other respects. If I massage my skin or if I am very warm the splotches go away and my skin is pretty.

Thats what seems to fit the symptoms but I am fairly active and I don't think I have a poor diet and I seem to be healthy in other respects. If I massage my skin or if I am very warm the splotches go away and my skin is pretty. I hate it because I am embarassed to wear anything that shows any skin. I wear long sleeved shirts and pants unless it is boiling out (in which case it is too hot to wear pants and the blotches are usually gone because I'm warm) because I am so embarassed of my skin. I look diseased. I don't know why this happens to me. I've only asked my doctor about it once a few years ago and she said I just have thin skin and dismissed it and said it is why I get sun-burned easily and I can just see my veins easier? I don't know. It kind of sounded like BS though, ha. I also think it is poor circulation because when I get cuts they take a while to heal and I scar easily. How do I fix poor circulation. They say exercise but I usually do and if it is cold then even if I'm exercising my skin still stays purple. It needs heat and when I rub it it heats up and fixes it is the weirdest thing. Please help me!

That sounds scary. You should really ask your doctor to do a CBC test (complete blood count) just to make sure you are healthy, you know?

Answer

 
 

I use St. Ives products, you can get them for under $10 almost anywhere. They have a product called Apricot Scrub, it comes in several different sizes so if your sceptical you can buy small and go from there. They have the face scrub and then an all over scrub. I use the all over scrub on my face, almost same consistency as the face scrub but less creamy. You'll notice the difference right away, removes dry, dead skin and gives you a glow. It's gentle so if you choose you can use it daily, I do. Hope you find what your looking for and Good Luck!

Ok so I have noticed that my facial skin is looking a little different from how it did last summer. Last summer I had a tan, which I got from being out in the sun(I USED SUN BLOCK AND I DIDN'T GET A SUN BURN THIS WAS BEFORE I GOT THE BLOTCHY SKIN PROBLEM. THE BLOTCHY SKIN STARTED LIKE 3 TO 4 MONTHS LATER), I was 20 pounds more lite, I was drinking more water, and I was exercising a lot more because I had a job that required a lot of movement. Then I started going back to school and I noticed that my skin was becoming pale because the tan was fading.

Then I started going back to school and I noticed that my skin was becoming pale because the tan was fading. I gained 20 pounds because of stress. I started eating a lot of "junk" food instead of eating fruits and stuff. I started drinking soda instead of water. Then I noticed my blood pressure started going up. My question is, do you think that if I start eating properly and get a LITE tan (USE SUNSCREEN OF COURSE!!!) that my blotchy skin on my face will go away??? Could the raise in my blood pressure cause the blotchy skin????? I have capillaries in my face that are visible whenever I get hot, that didn't happen until my blood pressure started to rise. Could the capillaries cause blotchy skin??????? I don't have ance, so I think! I just have occasional break outs (pimples). Sometimes my facial sKin becomes dry when I used to much soap or do not use a facial lotion. Could this cause blotchy skin??? PLEASE LIST SOME REASON WHY I MIGHT HAVE BLOTCHY SKIN ALL A SUDDEN!!!!!!! Will it ever go away?????????????????????? HELP PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer

 
 

This sounds really familiar, i had the same condition as you do now last year when I just came back from Beijing when it was winter. At first I had a red itchy patch below my lower lips, then a red patch appeared above my upper lips. It was so itchy i had to keep scratching and then after a while it was all peeling and i looked like I had some skin diseases my gosh. Like you I was very self conscious and i try not to go out so often, and when i talk to people I had to cover my mouth. After a few months I went to a general practitioner, and it turned out to be Atopic Dermatitis and was triggered by the cold weather in Beijing (i come from a tropical country). She prescribed me a few creams and the condition improved alot I'm still keeping it under control with the creams now. Once in a while it comes back, and now my left eye, around the eyelid it's become dry and often flaky and dark. But that's just part of Atopic dermatitis, so I'll have to deal with it. It could be atopic dermatitis or ezcema for your case, it's best to get it checked out =D

Answer

 
 

Mineral makeup is the best. theres a brand called everyday minerals Ive been using it for 2 years now and I prefer it to Bare Minerals, Its much better and cheaper, plus you can order a free sample kit where you get 3 foundation colors of your choice, a concealer and blush, both of whihc you choose. all you pay is shipping which is around $3-$5 depending on where you live. It works well and a full size only costs $12 use the link below and scroll down to see free sample kit.

Answer

 
 

Use a primer before you put on your makeup because it helps even out your skin as a base to give the best coverage. I love Smashbox's Photo Finish line, they have an excellent liquid formulation. They even have purple concealer to cover dark circles and green to counter blotchy skin. Dab the green on your blotchy spots, then you can use regular foundation on top. For a good flawless finish, mix some of the foundation with moisturizer to make it go on easier. Finish off with a highlighting stick to accent your face and give you a dewy finish. Maybelline Dream Mousse is also an excellent one, as well as their gel foundation. By the way, when it comes to makeup, you get what you pay for. If you suspect that something is too cheap, then it will probably look bad on your skin. Your face is the first thing that people see in you; so why not give it quality products?

Answer

 
 

If you go to www.thebodyshop.com They have something called Seaweed cleanser. It balances skin tone and clarifies complexion. You would need cleanser, toner, and a moisturizer. You don't have to get day and night just as long as you have one. The body shop is awesome. It is all natural product and they participate in community trade to help people in other countries. I love the body shop. Tell me what you think. I hope this helped. Good Luck and Happy Thanksgiving.

Answer

 
 

heey, wow that really sucks, you poor thing...i don't think i'd last. most schools have rules like that but don't enforce them. maybe try a good pre-foundation skin primer and then apply your foundation. skin primers are really good and they allow your foundation and other make-up to just glide over your skin, which will get rid off those dry flaky bits that sometimes appear after your make-up is on. you could also try mineral foundation, which looks really natural. i also hear trublend is really good and you can't see it even close up. you could paint your nails with a light pink and clear nail polish on top or a french manicure, but make sure your nails aren't too long. you can get acrylics as well (once again not too long). they look nice and clean. or you could always just go clear with glitter, or without. the nose piercing...you could always just take it out at school and wear it once you get home or leave school. you can also purchase small clear studs that aren't very noticeable at all. if you can't find those, and you don't want to leave it out, then make sure you are wearing a small less noticeable stud. hope this helps and good luck with all this and your new school =)

Answer

 
 

i would give it a week...but dont panic - as long as shes breathing normally and no fever she'll be fine. My hubby broke out in a rash last week, not sure what it was but he was out in the garden before the rash. There is lots of new $hit in the air with this dry weather - lots of new bugs and grasses to cause allergies.

What is wrong with my skin (long rant)?

Ok, so I'm a 24 y/o male, and I have this horrible skin condition. People tell me its called 'rosacea' but personally, I've never seen or even heard of a person with my same problem. At times, my face becomes a hideous, very bright shade of red. Its mostly on my cheeks and a little on my neck, its very blotchy and completely asymmetrical. I never even had this problem til a few years ago, it kind of just sprang up out of nowhere. At first I thought it only happened when I drank, so I've stopped drinking, which totally sucks by the way, since I used to really love drinking socially with my friends, now I have to lie and make up excuses to not go out and have fun.

At first I thought it only happened when I drank, so I've stopped drinking, which totally sucks by the way, since I used to really love drinking socially with my friends, now I have to lie and make up excuses to not go out and have fun. *sigh* anyways, so I quit drinking, but my problem remains. Other things that always set it off include sweating profusely, shaving, stress, nervousness, and anger. In fact, the only times its not a problem is when im at home by myself, but if im with someone (especially if its a girl) or if im out in public, I glow bright red, and I can see people looking at it and it really freaks me out and kind of makes me panic sometimes. Anyways, sorry for the long rant, but I need a way to get rid of this, permanently if possible. I know I need to see a dermatologist, but I dont even have medical insurance. What should I do? Yeah, I've googled rosacea before and the pictures I see look nothing like what I have. My condition doesnt seem to be acne-related. I dont have pimples, and my face isnt bumpy, its just red.

 

Answer

 
 

You could have Urticaria I have it and it's basically when you break out in hives. In those situations you mentioned. I take NeoClarityn for it and it goes completely.

It seems I'm allergic to school - literally?

Even using Benedryl, hasn't helped that much. =[ It's now starting to spread, to other parts of my body. I've missed a lot of school so far (about six days of absentees and--plus two days I was there that I participated in a peer-leadership training program), so I'd hate to miss more school. I just couldn't stand the idea of sitting through classes, unable to focus because of the pain caused from the itchiness in my arms and legs.

It's only me who has had the reaction.

 

Answer

 
 

Do you have the rash only at school or does it occur at home too? If only at school, there could be something that you are contacting that you are allergic too. Maybe the chemicals that the janitors use to clean the school. Maybe you need to go to a dermatologist and see what they can do to help. I would hate to go to school too if I had a rash like that.

how do you restore a baby skin color from hydrocortisone?

the baby has eczema and parent was told by the doctor to us hydrocortisone now after use of this The baby has different types of skin colors kind of blotchy like all over her body.

 

Answer

 
 

It is possible that it has nothing to do with the steroid, it could be what they call postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. What that means is, many times when a person has trauma to the skin, a rash, even a bug bit, or in the baby's case, and eczema outbreak, that after the skin heals it sometimes has a darker or different pigment color than the rest of the skin. If there was a large outbreak, you will see the skin pigment is different in many areas. It is not anything to worry about, in fact, it is quite normal that the skin does that. Usually there is no treatment, especially in a baby. The skin will eventually return to normal over the course of time. Here is some info from the internet: Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation What is postinflammatory hyperpigmentation? Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation is a discolouration that is left on the skin after an underlying skin disease has healed. These underlying conditions include: skin infections allergic reactions mechanical injuries reactions to medications phototoxic eruptions trauma (e.g. burns) inflammatory reactions (e.g. acne, dermatitis, lichen planus). The postinflammatory hyperpigmented lesions are located at the site of the originating disease after it has healed. The lesions range from light brown to black in colour. Usually, hyperpigmentation will gradually lessen over time and normal skin colour will return. However, this is a long process that may take up to 6-12 months or longer.

Answer

 
 

I'm the exact opposite of that! I can't wear the liquid stuff. But my sister is the same as you, so I just asked her what she uses. Almay is awesome for any kind of make up, even though it's slightly more expensive. You can get it at CVS or anything like that. Surprisingly, cheap stuff like Wet n Wild and NYC are actually pretty good, too. And they're only like, $2, so you might as well try them out.

I'd like some advice?

I am here because I am worried. I am a 21 year old male who is concerned with his health. My girlfriend was recently sexually assaulted and the assailant used a condom. The only part of the rape that was unprotected was oral. 4 days after the rape she decided she wanted to continue our sex life, she didn't want it affecting our relationship. She has been assaulted before and not the "average girl". She performed oral sex on me and immediately afterwards (literally 1 second) I had some burning in my urethra and difficulty/pain urinating, this was instant. I also instantly developed a ring around the head of my penis glands (they are swollen around the edges and red like someone highlighted them with a marker, also raised in a very perfect line, not blotchy or anything).

I also instantly developed a ring around the head of my penis glands (they are swollen around the edges and red like someone highlighted them with a marker, also raised in a very perfect line, not blotchy or anything). The next day my scrotum started itching/burning and there was minor redness on it. I went to a hospital and had a swab and urine test done to see if I had chlamydia etc. all was negative, so were her tests. I showed the doctor the inflammation and he said it looked normal. Both he and my primary doctor over the phone told me that no STD can show symptoms that fast and that what I had didn't sound like an STD. It has been about a week since then and now my eyes are feeling odd. My right eye feels swollen but it isn't. It burns kind of like it's dry or if you get shampoo in it and clean it but it's still irritated. Both eyes are semi-affected but it's right one mainly. I'm scared that I transferred herpes to my eye or something if that's what I have and that I'll go blind. The more I think about it, the worse it gets. The skin behind my beard feels more dry and itchy, so does the skin behind my eyebrows. I have had no sores, blisters, bumps, or anything like that. My girlfriend has had 0 symptoms as well. I've read all kinds of theories about HSV 2 only affecting the mouth or preferring it and others where they say it's interchangeable and doesn't matter. I haven't had any bloodwork done, and I plan to get it. It just seems odd that if it is an STD/STI that it could spread that fast and appear that fast? Instant pain after the blow job? Instant redness on the scrotum and then a possible instant auto-inocculation with almost constant eye irritation? I can't stop searching this stuff online and looking it up, I feel like a hypochondriac and recently got over something I was very hypochondriac-like about unrelated to this. I am freaking out and I would like some advice. Thanks

 

Answer

 
 

I think you have self diagnosed yourself. The mind is an unbelievably powerful thing. From what you are saying, it sounds very much like this is another example of how the mind can cause actual physical symptoms. " I can't stop searching this stuff online and looking it up" "recently got over something I was very hypochondriac-like about unrelated to this." "I am freaking out" "The more I think about it, the worse it gets." "My girlfriend has had 0 symptoms" These statements support this diagnosis.

Dry, scabby, blotchy skin?

My arm is breaking out with scabs and I don't even know how they get there. Before, it would start out as just dry patches of skin and somehow, they turn into scabs over night. Usually, I would just moisturize it over a few days, and it would disappear. But now im breaking out all over and even on the other arm. A small blotch is starting to form on my leg. Is it just allergies? Or should I go get it checked? It seems like it's starting to spread too. HELP! no. .its not itchy or ANYTHING. it's just scabby... and red.

See a professional for facial problem. cause skin has different types. the forehead, chin, nose right and left of face is what they called T zone, where oil is prone. your face need a facial spa. wash your face with low ph facial wash to prevent from oil or extreme drying in the morning and before going to bed. oily skin are prone to pimples and dry skin is prone to wrinkles.
