Im gonna be 29 in 3 months,Im told I look younger then my age but am starting to notice fine lines!!I also have acne prone skin,and havent been able to eat so healthy,been very buisy with work and school and I can tell its taken a toll on my skin!What products facewash,lotion and makeup,foundation are good that are for aging but acne prone skin?I was using mineral powders but they make my skin look older.What is a good liquid foundation?

Lately I been using Clinique Total Turnaround Visible Skin Renewer, it makes my skin feel so smooth I just put a tiny bit on before go to sleep somestimes I put it on in the morning before putting on makeup.

Eat green vegi and fresh fruits all the time, eat food with Vitamin B1 B2 C and E, it’ll work magic.

It would be great if I could find these products in Wal-mart, Target… or some other store like that.

I have really bad acne and huge pores (blackheads), I think it is because of my make-up or this product I bought that is supposed to get rid of acne but just makes my skin greasy.

I tried so many things that don’t work, and I’m starting to think that nothing works for me. So, it would be great if you have tried this product yourself and that it worked.
I tried proactive, it just made my skin worse. x_x

cetaphil face wash is a good choice. well this product i used for a while and it didnt completely take all my acne away, but it definitely reduced it. however, my friend has been using it for about a year and her acne is completely gone. she still uses it just to prevent it. highly recommended.

Looking to maybe produce bath / skin products for sale in my Youth Enterprise enrichment, just wondering what’s the legal side of this since they’re skin products?

It’s within my Sixth Form college.

Thanks

You can produce them… but if you want to make anything that is health oriented, then you would need to get FDA approval

please! help me i had many beauty and skin care products how to sell it in india for free and safe

Your question is not clear..

How can u "SELL" anything for ‘FREE"..?

If u want to SELL (A Sale) it involves money transfer or exchange or any other benefits to u.

OR

If its for FREE.., u can only "SEND" or "DISTRIBUTE" them.

What are some good, healthy skin products to keep your skin clear?

DHC , they have samples for u to try out before u buy, mild soap face wash,

I’m starting a new skin care routine in the morning.
What is your routine and what products do you use?

I’m looking for a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, exfoliator, mask to all have on hand. Thank you
I have/had issues with my skin big time. I would be dry and flakey, oily in areas creating blackheads, acne, whiteheads. Ugh, and during THAT time of the month? Forget it.

I’ve recently started a new treatment, which mainly has been all about diet along with some of my favorite products and my skin is FABULOUS. I can’t even tell you. This morning I looked in the mirror and it was GLOWING. My skin tone was even, no red patches, no bumps, small pores, blackheads are almost entirely gone.

Here is everything I use and WHEN I use it.

1. Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Cleansing Pads w/ Salycilic acid. I use these at night to get rid of all the dirt and oil that has accumulated throughout the day.

2. Neutrogena Blackhead Clearing 2 in 1 Pads: I use these TWICE a week. They are very strong and when I used them daily they actually made me break out more, but they really helped with the blackheads, so I cut back to using this pad at night only 2x per week.

3. Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleaner: I use this in the MORNING 2x per week. I tend to use a lot of products so I alternate days so I’m not going too crazy. One morning I’ll wake up and just rinse my face with warm water, the next day I’ll use this stuff, the next day just warm water, and so forth.

4. Proactive Refining Mask: I find this stuff in the mall on the Proactive carts. I hate Proactive, would never recommend it but the Refining Mask is GOLDEN for spot treatments if you break out. It’s a sulfur based mask which is PHENOMENAL at drying out acne over night and making it noticeablly smaller and less red by morning. You can use it either as spot treatment, OR as an entire face mask. I do it both ways and actually sleep with this stuff on my face. It’s gentle and doesn’t leave red blotches on my skin that other spot treatments do.

5. Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion: I use this ONCE every two weeks. It is a great scrub to get rid of the dull surface skin cells, to turn over skin and to get the baby butt skin hiding underneath. It smooths, evens skin tone, and makes your face super soft.

6. I’ve been drinking 1 Liter of water PER day. I get a gigantic Poland Spring and keep it with me all day.

7. I’ve been cutting out red meat. I eat lean meats, turkey, chicken, tuna fish, and eating fruits and vegetables every single day. In the morning I’ll have a mix of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries, these fruits are LOADED with antioxidants which clear your skin of impurities. Lunch, i’ll have lean meat, tomatoes, eggplants, apples, and a snack of some almonds.

I’ve literally cut out ALL garbage from my diet. No cookies, chips, cakes, pasteries, donuts, etc. You’ll be surprised, I thought it would be so hard to get rid of junk but just after a couple of days getting the nutrients I SHOULD be getting, I am never hungry, I eat small meals 4x per day, and I never crave junk.

8. Most important! I’ve been taking a daily multivitamin, One a Day women’s active vitamin (every morning), along with an Omega-3 Fish Oil 1000mg supplement (2x per day, AM and PM) The Omega-3 is something that pretty much everyone does not get enough of. It improves dry skin, it clears complexion, it evens skin tone. (If you decide on starting a Fish Oil supplement, be careful because some brands are not as pure as others, and may contain toxins and metals found in the fish. Make sure if you pick up an oil that it says "Molecularly distlled to remove pesticides, PCB’s and heavy metals." I like Natrol Omega-3 Fish Oil. It’s definitely a bit more expensive, but there’s no way I’m putting toxins and metals into my body. Get the lemon flavored ones as well. It cuts back on "fish burps" XP

9. I’ve also been running! The exertion and sweat from running has totally been clearing my complexion up as well.

10. Don’t forget the SPF moisturizer in the day! I use Aveeno calming lotion w/SPF every morning.

11. Get 7-8 hours of sleep!

I know it sounds like a lot, but nothing has ever worked for me. I suddenly got all this motivation and my skin has NEVER looked as good as it does now.

Holy crap this was long. :X

where can i buy alligator skin products in the niagara region of ontario? like a nice alligator skin wallet and/or belt for my jeans.

i know its pricey. however it may be better than having to pay to go to Florida and to pay for temp hunting licence and to go on a hunt and probably get eaten. lol

(be forewarned that comments from PETA and ALF members will be reported as spam.)

You should be able to find a nice alligator skin wallet and belt at www.reptileleathers.com . I am sure that they ship to Canada. You might also find a nice pair of Gator Shoes too!
Good Luck!

I’m looking for the best skin care products for African-American skin. I hav dark blotches on my face and would like to even out my skin tone and make my skin smooth.

COVERMARK is the name of the product. It is hypoallergenic and great for sensitive skin. It covers unequal skin tones and dark marks that just won’t be covered with ordinary makeup. It is moderately priced and I have used it for years. My personal thing is that I only wear it when I am going somewhere special. That would be the rule, even if I had no problems with my skin. I want to look as natural as possible. This is what Covermark makeup products offer us. You won’t be sorry. Peace and God Bless!

Sometimes when we look really9999 carefully on our faces (women) - look in normal day light. We can see facial hair around our faces, and if we see it after using a new product or our current product, we blame the products because before this we didn’t realize it, or it’s true that excessive facial hair can grow if using a "hyperactive ingredient" in the skin care products?. true or false

Not true, facial hair growth depends on your genetics and hormones, some products can bleach or darken the hair which makes it more visible but there is no real change in the length, or perhaps the skin product makes your skin smoother amd more susceptible to the sun which explains the difference

I have horrible acne on my forehead, and it just won’t go away. I’ve tried everything, Proactive, Neutrogena, Clinque. I very recently started using Ulta, which hasn’t worked yet. I was wondering if Ulta is any good? Or if there’s a better product. I hate my acne so much. I have pretty sensitive skin. I would perfer one that works really fast, like in a week. (if thats possible)
I’ve also tried clearasil (typo?)
Oh, and just so you know I don’t have bangs.
When I need acne to go away fast I use toothpaste. Yeah, toothpaste. It drys your skin really well and heals your blemishes almost over night. I’d strongly recommend it to anyone. Masks usually just draw out all of the possible minor zits and make them noticeable, so don’t use that or anything really strong. Cleansers are good, but they don’t work with all kinds of skin. I’d say toothpaste all the way.
