I am 11 years old with achne. I need to improve my skin before my modeling Graduation starts at John Casablancas, next Subday.

Materials:
1/3 cup cocoa
3 tsp of heavy cream
1/3 cup of ripe papaya
¼ cup honey
3 tsp of oatmeal powder

ok so i just got really tanned, and i hate it its uneven and messed up and i need to lighten it and help to even it out, plus i breakout only on my forehead, and i dont know how to stop it, i usually cover it with my bangs but that just makes it worse i guess, because it only breaks out on the part where my bangs are.
any skin care tips and routines would really help
thanks =]]

i don’t know about the tan thing but about ur forehead breakouts,its ur hair product,that’s why it gets worse when you wear your bangs loose,change ur hair product,wear ur hair up,n treat those breakout..
here’s what i do,it works wonders,wash your face with whatever works for you,scrub your face with a mix of sugar and lemon juice (you can never go wrong with natural stuff) it has to be grainy though so don’t let the sugar melt.just enough lemon to make a paste.then use an acne treatment that consists mainly of benzole peroxide.leave it on till right before u go to bed,wash your face again and apply lotion,cause BP really dries skin out (that’s why its so effective..zits are just oil trapped inside so you wanna dry them out) so apply lotion before you go to bed so you don’t wake up with a flaky face!
i promise you this will work! good luck

How in the world did women back in the day keep their skin so soft and beautiful? What traditional remedies did they use, or products did they use?? Every classical movie I watch, it seems like no one back then had blemishes, or uneven skin tones. I know that is not the case of course, but it seems like all those women were flawless, of course now a days with movie stars it seems that way also, but something about classical stars is just flawless. Anyone know the old traditions of facial skin care??? I got the make up down lol but would love to learn more.

the most common cosmetic use was cold cream, it was used to remove make-up as well as a moisturizer. Red lip color, a rosy blush, light application of dark brown eyeliner and mascara were all most women wore on a daily basis, most film stars have considerably more make-up on more like stage make-up than modern make-up, again always removed with cold cream. Personally I use only cold cream and it seems to be working much better for my skin than any of the modern products I used before. The diet in those eras was much more healthy than the modern diet as well, having much more fruits and vegetables and less fats and meat.

Also i wears mineral foundation everyday and sometime i exercise with make up on. is that bad

Here are some causes and tips that I followed that treated my acne:

i have a pretty uneven complexion, very oily T-zone, super dry cheeks/nose, and frequent breakouts. i found that benzoyl peroxide works a lot better for me than salicilyc acid & i’ve been using proactiv for awhile now but it just sort of stopped working & i can’t afford it anymore lol. i really want to even out my complexion, shrink my pores, clear up the acne/oil, and get rid of the flaky dry skin on my cheeks & around my mouth/nose.

ive used proactive, but like you said, after a good solid 2 weeks of nice skin, you become immune.. you said you cant afford it anymore, and this is more expensive, but my toubles are solved– go to the dermatologist.. i use retin A micro at night and a similar product in the morning.. they go together and ask the doctor.. just go one time to get the perscription.. check ups a bull, if your happy with your face you dont need one

What are some tips that can be followed daily to have better skin care? I would also like to hear some of the things that you guys do to maintain looking fresh and beautiful…any other tips would be cool as well!

please do not say ‘talk to your doctor’
or dont get stressed get enough sleep or
something like drink water.
thanks for your answers =]

clean, tone, moisterize, exfoliate, the less ingredients in the products, the better.

I’m trying to get a bit better skin and I wanted to hear some people’s opinions about what they use or just cheap ways to help the overall appearance of it. My skin isn’t bad (meaning I don’t look like a pizza face), but I always get that annoying pimple or blackhead and there’s always room for improvement, but it’s not something I’m truly worried about.. But some tips are always helpful!

Make sure that your face is always clean. You should use mild face cleansers to wash your face daily. Make sure your not touching on your face throughout the day, because your hands carry germs and bacteria. You need to make sure you’re using moisturizer and sun screen on your face daily as well. A lot of the facial moisturizers out today have sun screen already in them. Make sure you exfoliate 1 to 2 times a week to get rid of and shed the dead skin cells that could clog your pores causing a pimple. The steam room works wonders for skin complexion if you don’t have access to a steam room use a bathroom and a hot shower to give the same effect. Afterwards is the best time to exfoliate. If you don’t already have an exfoliator, mix some honey and sugar together and gently scrub your face in a circular motion. And lastly what you eat plays a major part in your complexion as well. Drink lots of water, eat green leafy vegetables along with fruit.

well i’ve used pro active for forever and i just don’t think it’s working for me. i’ve tried the neutrogena system and that didn’t work too well. and now i’m trying the clean and clear system…. and my face is breaking out more. any advice on a system that will actually work??

Your skin must be too sensitive for products such as proactive and clean and clear remember the main ingredients in these products Benzoyl peroxide and Salicylic are bad for sensitive skin. I had really bad acne and tired proactive but it didn’t work for me. My recommendation is stop using commercial products and see a DERMATOLOGIST it may be the best thing you ever did my dermatologist prescribed clindamycin phosphate and trention..Best products ever!

does anyone have some good skin care tips? You know to get rid of blemishes? Also I wanted some cute make up tips. I’m only in middle school so I’m not wanting to put a load of make up on. Thanks.

Oh im in middle school too.
Tip #1 (for your eyes to POP):If you have green eyes, try out purple eye shadow shades such as lavender, violet, or amethyst. Keep the color sheer so it won’t look garish. For eyeliner, a deep plum is perfect.

I need help with my blocked pores. I used to squeeze out dried oils from little bumps on my skin all the time.. I think that’s why I have so much blocked pores. When I squeeze them again, they just become blocked again and I try to be patient but they don’t seem to fade away.. They just stay these hard bumps on my face and I really want clear skin. How to get rid of them?? (I don’t have a big budget AT ALL..)

Wash your face every morning, and evening with Dove face wash, then use St. Ives Apricot Scrub, follow the directions. It exfoliates your skin. In about 1 to 2 weeks you will see a huge improvement. I have been doing it for years, and years.

0hkay, I have weird skin :/

I’m fifteen, & I already have some pretty defined wrinkles, especially the "parentheses" around my lips.
Also, where my tear ducts are on my eyes, to a litle under my cheekbone there’s long lines :C
I don’t know why this happened, people tell me it’s from laughing a lot.
& I do laugh, A LOT.
What could have caused these wrinkles so young.?
I don’t have the best skin care for myself, I realize this, & I’ve been trying to fix that.

i have lots of acne and pimples on my face and i want them to disappear. i have used ceterphil, netogena, biore and fair and lovely but non of them works for me…so if you got any good skin care tips or products, pls tell me =] thanks

water water water, don’t waste your money on creams, and once a week get a cotton ball and put some lemon on spread around on your face(don’t get it in your eyes!!!!) and keep it there for 5 min, if it burns a bit that means the dead skin is burning. then just splash water on your face. The creams and shit don’t work, i’ve experience with them for 3 years, money down the drain and i have TRIED everything. A monk in thailand told me the lemon trick, it’s amazing.

Acne has a tendency to begin when a child reaches puberty. Hormones cause the sebaceous glands to grow. These glands produce oil, which blocks the pore so they cannot cleanse themselves. As a result, the pore gets clogged and pimples develop. The key to help preventing skin acne is to start a skin regimen before the acne flares up. Cleansing To help prevent skin acne, the first step is proper facial cleaning. If you wear makeup, begin by using a non-oily make up remover and rid your face of all cosmetics. Choose a cleaning solution for your face and neck that contains at least 5% benzoyl peroxide. If you find you are allergic or overly sensitive to benzoyl peroxide, then choose a solution with 2% salicylic acid. Cleanse your face thoroughly. Be sure to wash the creases on either side of your nose and right up into you hairline. Do not forget to scrub your upper neck, as this is an area prone to pimples too. And rinse well, as you want to remove all of the soap and oil. Follow this regimen twice a day. Topical Gels After washing your face, you can apply a topical gel that has 5% benzoyl peroxide. You have the option of applying this cream all over your face and neck or, if you find you skin is too sensitive, then just apply to affected areas. Do not over apply or you can end up with sore red patches of skin. Use this gel after you wash in the morning. Night Creams After washing your face for the evening, carefully examine your head and neck. If you are prone to pimples on your chest, back or arms, examine these areas too. If you spy any areas of irritation where a pimple or blackhead might form, apply a cream containing sulfur to that area. Make-Up If you plan on using make up, read all the labels carefully. You want to choose make up that is oil free. The oil in oil based make up will block your pores and cause build up of keratin, sebum and dead skin cells. This will result in skin acne. In addition if you use a moisturizer, be sure it is a light cream and not heavy in oils. Picking and Popping As hard as it is to resist, leave those pimples, whiteheads and blackheads alone. Squeezing, popping & picking will only lead to scarring. Concentrate on preventing acne instead of causing facial scarring. A pimple that lasts for a few days is much more appealing than a scar that lasts a lifetime. When following a skin care regimen, read all labels before purchasing the products. For acne prevention, you want a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Both products help prevent pore blockage, skin inflammation and pimple formation. Select an effective night cream to rub into pimples that flare up. Keep any heavy or oily materials away from you face. Also try and wash oils off of your hands before touching your face. Keeping your face oil free is the key to preventing skin acne.

I’m a natural blond with a very fair complexion. My skin, although not albino-white, is very translucent- I can see every single pore on my upper thighs in a sort of spotty pattern. Because of this, I’ve been too self-conscious to wear skirts for as long as I can remember.

For me, I’ve found that the panoxyl bar with 10% benzoyl peroxide is the best way to get rid of acne. I also recommend all guys with acne – shave with your acne cleanser as your shaving cream! I also use the Olay microdermabrasion kit, and wow after the 3rd time I’ve used it, I noticed a huge difference. Bare Escentuals is the only makeup I wear, and I love it!

I know the best trick in the world–don’t shower. I’m not kidding. The best thing for your skin is the oil it naturally produces. If you only shower maybe twice a week you’ll stay looking 20% younger than people your age who shower all the time. I shower more often than that but I don’t give a crap about my skin.

Skin is the outer most cover of the body something like a shield which saves inner muscles from coming in direct contact of different harmful bacteria, radiation from the sun and many other harmful agents. Imagine what would be without skin. Skin also provides gorgeous looks to humans. It is the skin which decides the looks of people irrespective of color. For the sake of good health and good looks, maintenance of skin is essential.

Is Holistic Skin Care a real buzz or the perfect solution to healthy and glowing skin? I strongly believe that there are very few who trust 100% on a pure skin care system. On the other hand, it makes it difficult for others to even think about a product which is completely natural as there needs to be some kind of processing done to make them useful.
