How do you keep dry skin at the tip of fingers from cracking and bleeding in the winter?

I%26#039;ve seen a family member put bandages around the tips, but it doesn%26#039;t always work. Any other ideas?|||Put vaseline on your hands each night and sleep with cotton gloves (or socks you don%26#039;t care for). That is a beauty secret to always keeping your hands soft and supple.|||Vaseline, Petroleum jelly and cover your hands a night.|||Super glue works but the best thing would be to find a lotion that helps this. Kerasal is a brand that works well. There is also this stuff called %26quot;Miracle Hand Repair.%26quot; I got it at Bed, Bath and Beyond but I am sure they sell it other places too.|||you can use any lip guard available in various flavours, to be applied like lipsticks. this really helps during winter.|||You might consider increasing the amount of oil you consume, such as olive oil or hemp seed oil for example.

Consuming healthy oils can promote more supple skin and reduce the cracking that occurs on your fingers.

External lotions and/or creams can help temporarily and may sometimes be your most effective option. Consider Aquaphor or any of the others mentioned.

But seriously, if you don%26#039;t get enough natural oils in your diet I would consider supplementing your intake with a couple tablespoons of a natural, healthy oil. Ask your pharmacist or family doctor for recommendations.|||I apply white vinegar to my legs and hands every night before going to bed and it helps. You can apply any time you need it and it does help with the cracking....and I%26#039;ve had lots of expensive meds filled and tried...this works as well or better!|||my husband uses corn huskers lotion you can buy it at wal-mart|||This is one of the most common skin types. Dry skin types have to be extremely careful to protect their skin.Yogurt-honey combination helps dry skin. Make an egg face pack with a yolk, a teaspoon of honey, a tablespoon of milk powder. This is beneficial to dry skin types. There are many helpful tips to cure dry skin at http://useinfo-dryskin.blogspot.com

How can I get the skin on my fingers to quit peeling?

For years, my hands have had peeling skin around the nailbed; it%26#039;s worse of course after I shower or do dishes (unfortunately our new apartment doesn%26#039;t have a dishwasher so this doesn%26#039;t help).

Lotions only mask the problem. Drinking more water helps some but it still does it. Any suggestions?|||Drink even MORE water. I know someone with this problem and doctors gave him hand cream and told him to sleep with gloves on while wearing the cream, but the only thing that is really working for him is to carry around water bottles and drink water all day long.|||i had the same problem and i dont know how well it will work for you but buy some mineral treated M water

its a mineral water that rehydrates really well and your skin is most likely dry and oily just drink some of this water and rub it into your skin as well

EDIT

this water isnt cheap so dont drink the whole bottle

its atomic make-up will mix with regular bottled water so just mix a cap-full with drinking water and then you will have a whole new bottle of m-water|||Try for a week to use a very mild soap for dishes and at the same time, especially at night or when your hands are out of water use a topical creme for athletes feet . I had the same thing for years, but it%26#039;s not the same fungus as your feet get but it works. It comes in a yellow tube and smells kinda yucky and the creme is white,but you could use lamasil creme if you prefer.

How can i make my skin whiter or lighter?

I want to make my skin look whiter and lighter using not hard to find items. Is there a way to do this?|||drink glutathione capsules. it is an antioxidant which has a side effect of whitening. it%26#039;s very effective... kinda expensive though..|||just dont get in the sun and if u do wear long sleeve tight stuff dont woorry trust me i do it all the time it workd good luck!!!!!!!!!:)|||Ask Michael Jackson|||why lighter?|||Love Yourself :)|||why???|||why would you want to look like a ghost?

i dont know....... stay out of the sunlight and use 50spf!!

How do I improve my skin and get rid of redness?

Certain parts of my face particularly my nose and sometimes around my eyes have a reddish tone to them. What could I do to get rid of that?|||I would say don`t cover it completely. toning it down is fine, otherwise you`ll look too fake or washed out! Your face could be red for a few reasons.. Such as skin sensitivities, your skin being dry (even if it doesn`t feel or look dry, it could be dehydrated which can cause your skin to be aggravated, thus turning it reddish pink), or that your face just tends to flush more than others. Which mine does sadly.

Anyways, I would suggest that you look at your cleansing products and moisturizers, and make sure that they are good for sensitive skin. Also, make sure that you moisturize at night with something with a bit more moisture in it, since that may help reduce redness (does for me!) and then don`t be too aggressive on your face. You could try a neutralizing product, such as one by Lorac, or a green primer then apply foundation over top. Or find a foundation that is more pigmented.|||Hi!

Do you have rosacea or is it just general redness?

Assuming general redness, try using a green tinted concealer first under your foundation. It might sound scary, but the green tint are used to cover up any redness and to even out the skin tone before you put on the concealer. And not to worry, the foundation will cover up the green tint!

Actually everydayminerals.com has a free sample kit you can order online, you just have to pay for shipping ($3). They have a green tinted concealer you can choose. Hope it works for you!

If you have rosacea, the green concealer also helps but just make sure it doesnt irritate your skin. And don%26#039;t forget the sunscreen!!|||Good skin starts from the inside out, but if you%26#039;d rather have a quick fix, I recommend using a gentle face wash and following up with a fragrance free lotion. If you want makeup to cover it up, Physicians Formula has a green powder that neutralizes redness, but it doesn%26#039;t actually look green|||Try skin ID by neutrogena. its an acne kit made just for you by a servey you take online. it works for me. also foundation and moisturizer.|||well if you use foundation dont put to much on it glogs your pours

and wash your face daily , trust me it will help

hope i helped =D|||Use face lotion :), that should help you out! Also, get a little sun. That can get rid of acne and redness.|||try foundation?

How do you prevent your skin from itching after rolling in grass?

Everyone knows that rolling in grass makes you unbearably itchy. Is there a way to prevent or treat it?|||Try applying Vaseline before doing so

%26amp;

Take a shower as soon as u can afterwards

%26amp;

Apply more vaseline after your shower|||dont listen to the first to girls they are complete bimbos and just anser the question to try to look cool and have no idea about rolling in grass because they are sissy girls

what you probly got is chiggers and yes rolling in the grass is a sure way to get them.. they are tiny bugs u cant really even see but they get in your skin and like to dig around.. usually they go away on there own but here is more info about them and how to get rid of that itching.. i know it sucks

http://www.getridofthings.com/getridofch鈥?/a>|||You might have a grass allergy. Try benadryl.|||Yeah...stop rolling in the grass.|||Prevent- don%26#039;t roll in the grass

Treat- get a shower

How do I keep my skin from getting used to my acne medication?

I heard your skin gets used to the things you put on it over time and I believe this too because I notice at the end of my bottle of face wash, it%26#039;s not doing much. What can I do to keep this from happening?|||usually, your skin gets use to the chemicals and ingredients of the facial products in about 2 years...this usually means, you need to change your acne medication because you%26#039;re skin is no longer reacting to it.

as for the bottle of face wash, maybe you should shake it several times to get all the formula mix well before putting in your face because maybe, all the chemicals are accumulating on the bottom of the bottle.|||it works,

it%26#039;s just not showing,

don%26#039;t worry,

you%26#039;re just not looking for as radical of results anymore,

but to answer your question,

use different products|||that is exaclty what happens to me.

i would just change acne products.

i have 4 different bottles. i would use one for about a week then i would switch to the next than switch again.|||keep swtiching up brands and strengths.|||always use an oil free moisturizer

How do I improve my skin and get rid of redness?

How do you keep your skin oil-free during the day?

I go to school and I don%26#039;t have time to wash my face throughout most of the day. Can you suggest a type of wipe or blotting paper?|||I really recommend the Garnier Fructis wipes (or the circle discs). Its quick and easy, especially when you have school on your mind.

And the product isn%26#039;t overloaded with chemicals, it also contains natural plant excess, which is good for the skin :)|||Carry Acne wipes with you in little single packs, like wet naps, just tear open and wipe.

How do I keep my skin healthy over the summer?

I have very fair, light Irish skin that burns easily and tans slightly. I want to keep my skin free from burn and healthy from chapping and UV rays over the summer, but I also want to get a bit of a tan- what can I do to tan but not burn and still stay healthy?|||Put on spf 15 or more before you go out and drink lots of water.|||Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen!!! I can not stress it enough! If you want a tan use self-tanners. Remember, most self-tanners do not protect you from the sun. You still need to use sunscreen.

Eat lots of antioxidants - green tea, grapes, pomegranates, even red wine (if you are over the age of 21!) You can also buy drinks like Vitamin Water that contain antioxidants.

Drink lots of water. You can also take supplements - Youth Builder is one.

Use pomphenol sun guard.

Eat lots of vitamin C.

%26quot;Appropriate diet is always good. Ideally to help repair cell membranes, soy, which contains lecithin, the essential fatty acids, such as the GLA 3 fish oils, which come from cold water fish, along with flax seed, olive oil, and a source of amino acids which can come from gelatin, along with the traditional green leafy vegetables or the B vitamins. I love pomegranates for their antioxidant benefit. Since it is hard to eat these on a daily basis, I recommend taking them in supplement form to get the appropriate nutrition that your skin needs.%26quot;|||if you want a lil bit of tan i would not stay out side for too long but still wear some sort of sun screen. if you want to tan i would go with some 25 or something around there. make sure you are drinking a lot of water. water is essencial for good skin. never go with out sunscreen. you will get burn.|||Your skin tone reminds me of mine. You need to use a sunscrren with a good SPF but not too much. Mary Kay has a comprehensive sun care line for your tanning and skin care needs in the sun. Like a Sunscreen, After tanning Replenishing Gel and a Subtle Tanning Lotion to help you along.|||simpley be careful apply sun lotion mainly in the higher factors but be sure that when you applay it that it is thick otherwise it will not give the protection it should. over past surveys it has shown the own brands are better than the branded ones.|||15 spf sunscreen.

or tanning lotion with sunscreen in it.

How do they take the skin off of canned mandarin oranges without destroying the pulp inside?

You can do it at home with an orange. You take the peel off and the pith. Then you cut along side the white membrane on both sides and release the section. I wish there was a way to show you this, but maybe youtube or one of them will have an example. |||I got 3 answers and nobody seemed to read my question correctly. i know how to do it by hand, I know how to do it at home. I%26#039;m asking how the manufacturer does it on a large scale... Report Abuse
|||There is no need to skin canned mandarin oranges. Just eat or use in your recipe as is.|||with a machine

How should I repair rough skin on my hands?

I work with my hands all day, and it leaves my hands rather rough. I%26#039;ve tried a variety of lotions without success. Help?|||http://www.sallybeauty.com/Cotton-Gloves鈥?/a>

These work really well ^ especially if you use Vitamin E oil on your hands while you wear them overnight (buy some Vitamin E pills, poke one open with a push pin or whatever, and rub the stuff inside all over your hands).

Also, I love hemp lotion. It makes my skin so soft and smooth. I haven%26#039;t had dry skin all winter, and winter%26#039;s are preeeetty dry where I live. They have Hempz Products at Hair Cosmopolitan, which you can do a quick Google search for store locations. It%26#039;s not very expensive either.

How do I make my skin glow and look shiny?

I%26#039;ll tan my skin a little bit of course - but I want to know how to make it shiny and glow like models, ect?|||Jergens natural glow is the best.|||Tinted moisturizer!

Makes skin look smooth moist and dewy.

Smashbox also has a product called %26quot;artificial light%26quot;, which is a lotion style tint that adds pearlescent shine for hilighting. Put it on your brow bones and cheeks or wherever you like. Its great stuff, though if you use too much it can look artificial.|||Drink lots of water. This will be the big part.

I use Jergens庐 Natural Glow. It%26#039;s great because it%26#039;s cheap and it gives you a nice, healthy tan after a few days.

It comes in a few different tones so you can pick the one that%26#039;s right for you. I think they also have a small bottle out for the face. :] Hope this helps|||you can use a bronzer or luminizer. like a powder or a gel.

What are the signs of skin breakdown after a burn?

I burned my entire right arm and hand yesterday by spilling boiling water on it. I went to the hospital and they said I had second degree burns. Now, under my skin, parts of my arm are blistering and some parts look black and bruised. I am concerned about skin breakdown. Can anyone please help?|||With a first degree burn your skin is red, second degree burns are blistered, third degree burns appear extremely white. After going to an emergency room you are to follow up with your family doctor in the next day or two so the doctor can make sure you are doing okay.

I am guessing that the hospital gave you silvadene, which is a cream most often used for burns. This cream turns gray to dark gray after it has been on your skin for a while and it looks pretty gross. You should very gently wash your burn with warm water and a gentle soap, like Ivory, making sure not to break any of the blisters open. Then apply the cream the hospital gave you and loosely wrap your arm in sterile gauze. Only do that once a day until you visit your doctor. If you are really concerned about the appearance of your burn go back to the emergency room. No one can tell you if you have skin break down without actually looking at the affected area. Sorry I could not give you the answer you were looking for but without seeing it, it isn%26#039;t possible. I have a lot of medical education and also I got burned badly (second and third degree) on my arm when I was 18. I spent 2 weeks in a burn unit in the hospital and then had months of healing at home with nurses coming every day to take care of the burn.|||I suggest you take 4Life Transfer Factor products [Transfer Factor Advanced (children), Transfer Factor Plus (adults) and/or Transfer Factor RioVida (children %26amp; adults) ] manufactured %26amp; marketed by 4Life Reserach LLC, USA has been tested %26amp; found to be highly successful in treating burn cases by raising the immunity levels of people across the world.

I do not know in which location you are but wherever you are try %26amp; find a Distributor of 4Life Transfer Factor products %26amp; start taking it. Will greatly help you.

If you are located in India, you can visit the web site http://www.rmpinfotecmumbai.com for more details|||Blistering is normal for a second degree burn. However black sections of skin could be evidence of a third degree burn which may require additional medical attention from you doctor.

How can I get lighter skin without buying any of the lightening products?

Please Help Me! I want to have light skin without buying lightening products what can I do?|||You could try lemon juice.|||Isn%26#039;t it funny with all the people out there baking themselves that you want to lighten your skin?|||Japanese people in certain region of Japan extensively consume a substance called Kojic Acid in their mushrooms and rice diet. They have very light skin compared to their other countrymen. We don%26#039;t eat their mushrooms daily here in the US, so we don%26#039;t consume Kojic Acid through our diet. You can either move to Japan and start a Japanese Kojic Acid diet, or you can buy kojic acid and apply it to your skin like lots of the darker international entertainment stars do. You don%26#039;t have to buy ready made brand name Kojic acid. Generic ones work perfectly fine and you can vary the strength to your liking. Kojic Acid is natural, part of the Japanese diet for centuries, non toxic and non cancer causing, unlike commercial lighteners such as Hydroquinone. Kojic acid is also quickly and visibly very effective.|||Be proud of the skin you%26#039;re in; you have a lower risk of skin cancers due to having more melanin in your skin (melanin, of course, being the reason why skin has color). I am a light-skinned black woman, and sometimes I wished I were darker so no one would ask me if I was %26#039;mixed%26#039;; now as an adult I love the skin I%26#039;m in, freckles and all.|||Love the skin you were born with!|||I am not going to ask why you want to get lighter but I am sure you have your reasons. the important thing is that you dont want to go over board by using harsh chemicals. it might be that you just want to tone out your skin colour and even it out. or maybe your face is darker than the rest of your body.

the only natural remedy I can think of is vitamin c. look for moisturisers with vitamin c. vitamin c naturally lightens the skin. also you might have to get a good sun screen lotion and avoid excess sun exposure.

try exfoilating your skin at least once a week also.

good luck

What can I do to get rid of saggy skin, the skin after pimples?

I%26#039;ve been battling acne forever. Now the aftermath; the skin has now become saggy. Is there like something i can buy that can help me get rid of it?

Thanks for any tips, tricks and other oddities. ;D|||make sure to exfoliate. Try microdermabrasion it will get rid of scaring and tighten up skin. It helped me. I%26#039;m not sure about what more you can do, make sure to moisturize with a product that has hyaluronic acid. This will make sure the skin is hydrated not just moisturized. There is a difference. Drink lots of water so that your skin is hydrated from the inside also.

How does an artist create skin tones using a range of ballpoint pens?

Hi, I%26#039;m an artist working with ballpoint pens on paper, I%26#039;ve made some pretty nice work with simple black on white, and recently I picked up a boatload of coloured ones. So far I%26#039;ve been unsuccessful in creating a good skin tone with them. Can anyone give me pointers as to how to get a skin tone down from pens?|||well, we learn in our drawing classes that by stippling, hatching, and cross hatching, we can develop different values of color. So with a ball point pen I have seen a lot of beautiful skin tones created using these techniques! Good luck and have fun!|||I have never used colored ball point for skin tone, just used a shading technique to give at least a tonal quality...interesting. I cant see it working really because flesh tone is created in layers of color or blended colors and ballpoint doesnt work well to either style.|||Crosshatching with yellows, reds, and oranges. Use greens and violets for shading.

Constantly stand back from your work to evaluate what to do next. Every fifteen minutes stand back.

You can crosshatch at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, %26amp; 90 degrees, for a much finer gradation of tone and hues. The horizontal, vertical and 45 degree lines of the most common crosshatching doesn%26#039;t have to be adhered to.

Experiment for about three hours with your pens before you get to your main project.

All the best to you.

What's the best known skin firming lotion and is there anything that can help stretch marks fade?

Ok so actually what i would recommend is seeing a Dermatologist! They have tons of creams and treatments to help with scars. For acne scars peels can help and you can get a peel done by an Esthetician....Dermatologist peels are a bit harsh. But they bring new skin to the surface which helps get rid of scars.

How harmful to the eyes/skin is the curing BLUE LIGHT orthodontists use? Is wearing shades enough protection?

Although my child wears the sunglasses the orthodontist gives her, I%26#039;m concerned she may open her eyes in the process. I have read where UV exposure can cause damage to the retina. I don%26#039;t know if this can or has happened in the dental/orthodontal profession? She has more braces to be placed on and I am wondering if I am being overly concerned or not?|||We, assistants, use glasses that are tinted orange when using the curing light. I feel certain that your orthodontist is taking proper precautions and would not do anything that would harm your child%26#039;s eyes|||Honey, your being overly concerned. Seriously, how often can your child possibly be exposed to a curing light?? I look at those lights almost everyday and I haven%26#039;t had any problems with damage to my retina.

Trust me, if me looking at it numerous times a week hasn%26#039;t caused damage, it won%26#039;t hurt your kid if she accidentally opens her eyes.|||I totally agree with you. I never even thought about that. Maybe you should ask the orthodontis about the blue light.

How do I get lighter skin with homemade remidies or other natural ways?

I like my skin tone, however it is only my forearms that are extremly tanned - so please no %26quot;love your skin%26quot; comments. I have tried covering them up when Im outside but that gave little results.

I would like to know if there are any natural scrubs or homemade remidies that are really effective. I do not want to try bleaching either.|||Trust me, your not alone. I have sensitive skin and I get tanned VERY easily. One thing you could try is using a good sunscreen every time you step out of the house. At least it wont make your arms darker. Secondly, milk surprising helps lighter skin as well. Just take a cotton ball/ tissue and dab it into some cold milk. Rub the cotton ball/tissue on Ur arm in a circular motion and you%26#039;ll hopefully see the difference. Also, lime/ lemon applied to your arms and washed off after 15 minutes is said to work as well.

It seems like your tan comes out of nowhere and that%26#039;s impossible.|||spf 30|||You shouls always wear sunscreen at least spf 30 on your face and wear a hat. This should help to stay pale.|||There is a product called %26quot;dermacolour%26quot;

It is a very thick consistency, looks like pancake foundation but in a pot and is used to cover scars and deformities and was made for this. It is a specialized product which also covers damaged veins on the face...the red areas.

It gives a good protection and the sun cannot penetrate through no matter what and gives tender skins excellent protection.

It is very hard to use though you need a lot of practice.

I am not sure if it exists where you are. If it doesn%26#039;t then places that sell theater make up may have something similar, needs to be thick and you regulate it. Max Factor used to make one of solid thick consistency for theater with which you can improvise.

The others above are correct, in regards to wear a hat, total sun block and stay out of the sun, but at times that is impractical as we don%26#039;t always plan these things as to where we are and need vigilance and reapplication every few hours.

Dermacolour does not need reapplication but you need a special product to remove it as it does not come off easily, I used it all my life as I have a very sensitive/tender alabaster skin that does not like the sun, my skin is white. Good luck.|||stay out of the sun

How do you get your skin to become silky smooth and flawless?

I don%26#039;t have acne problems or anythink like that, but I want my skin really smooth and all my tiny blemishes gone.|||it%26#039;s quite easy now.. apply benzoyl peroxide (generic name) ointment to affected areas to heal your acne. then, before you sleep, always apply night moisturizer. when you acne heals, continue using facial cream or moisturized and always wash your face before going to bed at night and after waking up in the morning.. eat lots of fruits and vegetables, they%26#039;re a help.. avoid fatty foods...|||You may find this treatment unconventional but it has worked wonders for me and others on Answers(see my B.A.%26#039;s - flawless skin, radiantly healthy skin, etc.). I researched and experimented for a long time and found massaging using safe, essential oils was the most effective treatment to maintain healthiness of skin, rid it of all blemishes and keep it young looking. Oils feed skin essential beneficial nutrients. You will see results even in one day. Don%26#039;t be afraid of thorough massaging. If done right it is only beneficial. There is no pulling or stretching of skin as you have to tighten face muscles in order to tighten or flex skin in the part being massaged and in doing so it exercises and conditions many of face (and some neck) muscles which counteract face aging, whilst skin is being firmed, smoothed and toned by massage. Massage is best done by using a forward and back motion using finger tips and front and sides of fingers. Circular motion is less effective. In a few days skin will visibly tighten, start to glow and look and feel smoother and day by day blemishes will fade. This is the best treatment to promote and maintain, a totally healthy, young looking skin.

Many factors play into your skin, stress,diet, exercise, environment, and genes. Be sure to drink plenty of water. When our bodies are under stress, or we become ill our skin can be a good indicator of what%26#039;s going on inside. Mant times we plaster our faces with chemicals in the name of beauty. This only forces our skin to battle the toxins we have used. You should try going organic with your skin care. Use products like a sugar, or salt scrubs to first remove any dead skin cells, then use a nice toner to get deep into your pores and open them up, then a moisturizer to hydrate. In the evening before bed you should wash, tone and use a serum. Look for products that include ingredients like lavender, chamomile, and hibiscus. Lavender and chamomile are both calming to the skin while hibiscus is a natural astringent. centralparkdragonfly.com has some great organic products.

How to keep my skin as smooth as possible for as long as possible?

I would like to have clear, smooth skin for as long as possible. However, I have large pores and oily skin (mainly on my face).

How can I fix this to get my skin to remain wrinkle-free for as long as possible? Any other tips?|||Homemade treatment for clear soft skin

Strawberry Mask

- 1/2 a cup of natural yogurt

- 3 chopped stawberries

- 1/2 cup of oats

eyes and you鈥檒l be amazed at the difference!

All Natural Mask

ball, or your fingers. Leave on your face for half an hour, then rinse very well

with warm water, dry well but without scrubbing. Results should show within

one week.

Face Cleanser

- Mix 2tbsp. finely ground oatmeal

- 2tbsp. wheat bran

- 2tbsp. honey

Now mix in enough olive oil or apple cider vinegar to form a soft paste. Rinse

face with warm water. Then apply cleanser. Gently massage face for 5 mins.

Then rinse again with warm water and then rinse with cold water.

To Loosen and Cleanse Blackheads

- Make a paste of oatmeal, honey and and egg white. Apply to the skin,

massage for 10 minutes then rinse with tepid (room temperature) water.

Lemon Juice Works Wonders

- Wash your face and rinse thoroughly. Squeeze a fresh lemon into a small

bowl and put the juice on a cotton ball. Apply cotton ball to face. Repeat

soaking of cotton ball in lemon juice as needed. Let lemon juice dry on

face for about 10 minutes then rinse with cool water. The lemon juice

should make your face sting or mildly burn. If you have sensitive skin you

may wish to dilute juice with water. Follow this procedure one to two

times per day and you will notice amazing results within 14 days.This will also tighten your skin so you dont have any wrinkles.

Pore Cleaner Exfoliant Mask

your skin. Let dry on the skin then wash off with cool water.

- Very nice mask for oily skin. You can apply a thin layer to the skin and

leave it on all day. Be sure to use flavorless Milk of Magnesia.

Water Flush

- Water helps the body flush out toxins and transport nutrients to the body.

Drinking water puts less strain on the skin organ to flush out toxins. The

recommended amount of water you should drink is at least half your body

weight in ounces of water( a 150 lb. person should drink 75 ounces/day ).

While water alone will not eliminate your acne it will greatly assist your

skin in remaining healthy.|||Toner makes your pores smaller. Moisturizer for your face/body lotion for your body will make your skin SOFT. It will feel beautiful. YOU CANNOT GET BEAUTIFUL SKIN WITHOUT MOISTURIRING IT. YOU JUST CAN%26#039;T.

How do I prevent skin irritation on my neck from shaving?

I%26#039;ve tried using Neutrogena Razor Defense and Nivea after shave sensitive balm, but the results aren%26#039;t what I want.|||This is the best solution I found after much experimentation. First massage skin very thoroughly with an essential oil(olive , coconut, almond are very good) Then apply shaving cream on top. I actually do not like shaving creams so I use body lotion. Then shave. No matter how close you shave you will not get any rritation or razor burn. You will not need any after shave balms or whatever. They simply don%26#039;t help, are expensive and a waste of money. If you massage skin with oil frequently it will greatly benefit it and make it not so sensitive.

These you should buy organic: Apples, bell peppers, celery, cherries, imported grapes, nectarines, peaches, pears, potatoes, red raspberries, spinach, and strawberries.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s own lab testing reveals that even after washing, some fruits and vegetables consistently carry much higher levels of pesticide residue than others. Based on an analysis of more than 100,000 U.S. government pesticide test results, researchers at the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a research and advocacy organization based in Washington, D.C., have developed the “dirty dozen” fruits and vegetables, above, that they say you should always buy organic if possible because their conventionally grown counterparts tend to be laden with pesticides. Among fruits, nectarines had the highest percentage testing positive for pesticide residue. Peaches and red raspberries had the most pesticides (nine) on a single sample. Among vegetables, celery and spinach most often carried pesticides, with spinach having the highest number (10) on a single sample.|||Cleaning the fruit with water will do the trick, or buy a cleaning solution for fruit and veggies (most stores sell it in the veggie isles)...or go organic:O)|||Wash it under cold, running water.

How to get soft skin with home products?

My skin on my face is hard and gross. How can I get it soft without buying products at the store?|||Well if it%26#039;s dead skin, you should scrub it...when washing your face, take some sugar and scrub to get the dead skin off.

Also, put honey on your face and let it sit till it dries and then rinse it off. I%26#039;d try doing the honey first and then scrubbing it...it should help!|||1. Cleanse your skin once a day with soap free body wash, water, and a soft sponge.

2. The MOST important step- Ex-fo-li-ate! Exfoliate once week or once a fortnight if you have sensitive skin. It will remove dead skin cells, dirt and oil and will leave your skin baby soft! You can do this with an exfoliating puff, exfoliating shower gloves or with an exfoliating scrub. (store bought or hand made)

3. Pat dry with a big fluffy towel. Don%26#039;t rub or scrub - this damages your skin and also creates wrinkles later on in life.

4. Apply lotion, cream or body oil before you leave the steam-filled bathroom. This is the best time to moisturize your skin because your pores are still open and your skin is still moist.

5. Wear sunblock if you%26#039;re going to step outside of your house. One of the reasons babies have such soft skin is that they haven%26#039;t been exposed to the harmful effects of UV rays

[edit] Tips

* For particularly rough dry areas such as feet %26amp; elbows slather on some lotion or body oil before you go to bed, when you wake up they will feel a whole lot better.

* Drink half your weight in ounces of water every day. For example, if you weigh 140 lbs, you should drink 70 ounces of water every day, this will keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

* Take a daily multivitamin to help your skin fight off damage and wrinkles.

* Gentle, ph balanced,soap free body wash is best for your skin, soap can be very drying %26amp; contains a lot of chemicals that can damage skin cells.

* Add a handful of sugar (brown sugar works best) to your favorite lotion and mix. Rub it into your dry skin and then towel it off.

* Brazillian women have some of the smoothest, sexiest skin in the world, whilst at the beach they will often get a hand full of sand %26amp; rub it over their thighs, elbows %26amp; bum cheeks to exfoliate.

* Try a milk %26amp; honey bath for a luxurious way to baby soft skin, run yourself a warm bath, add about half a litre of milk, about 3 tablespoons of honey (this is not enough to make you sticky) and break open a vitamin e capsule into the water.

[edit] Warnings

* Remember that your skin is your body%26#039;s largest and most vulnerable organ. Take good care of it!

* When using sugar %26amp; honey for bathing, try to avoid your genital area as sugar can cause yeast infections. Do not use the milk and honey bath more than once a month.|||I use white vinegar in my bath %26amp; rinse my hair after shampooing with it. After this I use conditioner.

I have psoriasis, and have had to deal with this problem all my life. From your description your condition sounds similar, have you seen a dermotologist?

Along with the tonic, I use Hydraston ointment. I noticed a difference the first time I tried them. I wish I had known about this stuff when I was 13. I got both these items at the same time at an Amish store. Drink more water.

I have light blue eyes (some say look grey at night) but I%26#039;ve tried gray eyeshadow and it looks horrible. Also I haver tan skin and dirty blonde hair. So what color should my cheeks, eyes and lips be?|||light blush and lipgloss dark eyeliner|||grey%26#039;s don%26#039;t work on tan skin (in my opinion), but at night you may be able to pull off a nice silver shadow with a black cat-eye liner! keep it subtle and use white on the inner corners of your eyes to make them pop!

for day make-up I%26#039;d advise you skip eyeshadow altogether, it%26#039;s really a pain to keep looking nice. curl your lashes, use a lengthening mascara and maybe a brown liner (if you use liner at all) so you won%26#039;t overpower your light colouring and look too harsh. maybe a coral/peach blush to give you a glow, bronzer to highlight the cheekbones, forehead, bridge, and chin since you%26#039;re tan and then chapstick.

What is the hottest temperature skin can handle before it burns?

It%26#039;s difficult to put an exact temperature at which water will cause physical damage. Above about 60oC water becomes uncomfortably hot, and you will want to remove your hand (or foot or whatever) from it quite quickly, but it will not cause any medium term damage. At the boiling point, 100oC, water will scald quickly, producing the usual large blisters. Even then, it%26#039;s rarely fatal except for cases of extensive scalding or for very young or very old people. However, it is painful and can cause scarring.

Most domestic boilers contain internal controls to prevent the production of water at a temperature which could be dangerous, apart from the control on the front of the boiler which allows you to set the water temperature for the central heating. If these are not functioning correctly I%26#039;d suggest you get a (Corgi) engineer in fairly promptly.|||Hmm, I think that is left up to experiment considering some of us have thicker skin than others.

What causes moles on the skin and how to get rid of them without surgery?

What condition causes their growth and are there any natural remedies to get rid of them?|||Genes can have an influence on a person%26#039;s moles.

Dysplastic nevi and atypical mole syndrome are hereditary conditions which causes a person to have a large quantity of moles (often 100 or more) with some larger than normal or atypical. This often leads to a higher risk of melanoma, a serious skin cancer.[3] Dysplastic nevi are more likely than ordinary moles to become cancerous. Dysplastic nevi are common, and many people have a few of these abnormal moles. Having more than 50 ordinary moles increases the risk of developing melanoma.[4]

In the overall population, a slight majority of melanomas do not form in an existing mole, but rather create a new growth on the skin. Nevertheless, those with dysplastic nevi are at a higher risk of melanoma occurring not only where there is an existing mole, but surprisingly, also where there are none.[5][6] Such persons need to be checked regularly for any changes in their moles and to note any new ones.

|||There are no natural remedies to get rid of moles. Some people claim that putting lemon juice on them, helps them fade. It%26#039;s just a myth.

How can I keep my skin glowing and smooth in the summer?

I like to go to the beach, and LOVE the sun. I know that it is bad and can cause pre-mature aging, like wrinkles and crows feet.

Doesn%26#039;t it make those hideous sunglasses-print on your skin so you have pale skin where your sunglasses used to be? HELP!|||When your skin absorbs the sun%26#039;s rays, those rays actually damage the DNA in your skin%26#039;s cells. This damage causes the cells to become dysfunctional. Dysfunctional cells don%26#039;t behave properly, the results of which include a reduction in the production of collagen and elastin (the substances in the skin that support it and make it plump and healthy), a thinning of the top layer of skin, a halt in the skin%26#039;s natural ability to slough off its dead layers, and a rise in pigmentation. In the worst cases, these dysfunctional cells can become

cancerous.

What You Can Do to Reverse the Damage

Believe it or not, there are several types of products you can use to reverse sun damage. They include:

鈥? Wearing sunscreen everyday. By doing so, you%26#039;ll protect your skin from further damage, and halt any early changes in the skin that may be occurring. In fact, a study in Australia showed that simply using sunscreen can reverse the activity of precancerous cells. Use an SPF of at least 15 daily.

鈥? Using topical retinoids. Prescription Vitamin A products like Retin-A have been proven to normalize the damaged cells in sun-damaged skin. Using Retin-A can plump up the cells in the top layer of skin, revive depleted collagen and elastin, increase blood flow to the skin, and slough off dull, dead skin cells..

鈥? Trying topical green tea and Vitamin C. These ingredients are antioxidants, which neutralize the toxic by-products created in the skin when it%26#039;s exposed to sun. And according to the Amercian Academy of Dermatology, studies of topical green tea have shown it

to inhibit the growth of cancerous cells.

鈥? Using topical peptides. . Peptides, specifically, are chains of amino acids that induce a specific response to the skin. In other words, they tell the skin to repair it鈥檚 self. Peptides are the newest ingredient in the fight against aging and sun damage.

. Aloe Vera - Natural is better. Today many ancient tales of the healing powers of Aloe Vera are factual, rather than fanciful, as modern medicine unlocks the secrets contained within the leaves. The gel appears to contain a %26quot;WOUND HORMONE%26quot; that accelerates the rates of healing of injured surfaces. Scientists have found that the Aloe Vera %26quot;GEL%26quot; is a diverse mixture of ANTIBIOTIC, ASTRINGENT, COAGULATING AGENT, PAIN INHIBITOR, CELL GROWTH STIMULATOR and SCAR INHIBITOR.

Although Scientists have not yet discovered all the secrets of why Aloe Vera works - they do realize that it is the %26quot;Specific Mixture of the Ingredients%26quot; in Aloe Vera that is responsible for giving the plant it%26#039;s wide range of healing powers.

What is the best skin moisturizer to use?

I%26#039;d like something that will give my skin a shine and glow that lasts even hours after being applied.Something that will keep my skin moist and soft.|||We have a lot of minerals in the water where I live and ever since moving here the water actually dries out my skin when I take a shower.

Anyway, this girl I know recommended that I use this stuff by Olay called Quench. I use the form intended for in-shower application and I also use the Olay bath soap of the same name. Basically, I just wash with the soap, then rinse like usual. After that, while still in the shower, I massage the lotion in and rinse that off.
