best

friend-maybe not so much a friend
city terrorism/riots
fear

best
stronger friendship
summer in nyc
discover new people
announcement of quite a few engagements-->marriages of people i love (something to look forward to)

Is it a realistic goal to become a hairstylist and move to NYC?

If you're good, would you make enough to move to and live in the big apple?
I have a part time job and am saving up, almost out of high school, and plan on going to beauty school as soon as possible. I'm going to save up a biiig hunk of cash for when I first move there. Is this even a realistic goal, or am I just wasting my time? It's always been my dream to become a hair stylist, and it's always been my other dream to live in New York City. I'd work my *** off for a couple years to get to that point, I don't care.
But I just want to know if this sounds completely childish. What other steps should I take? Ugh or just tell me your thoughts, opinions on this, anything!!

Answer
Always have a fall back plan.

Also, what shall you do for Health Insurace and Dental? Women are more susceptible to ailments than men, unfortunately, so you may need these services later on and your sole practitioner income may not meet these need especially if you are renting a salon of your own and not out of your residence.

You could also become a hairstylist for a salon (or even better... a spa) then have your services on the side like on weekends or day off from work.

Women are always happy to get married in New York City and want to look good so your services will come in handy. If you look through the "discover" section, you see request for good shops and spas.

Good luck on your endeavor.

Book(s) on beauty/health?

Kirkylee

What's your opinion on some of these self remedy books and can or would you recommend a good book to me? Thanks!

Answer
Don't bother purchasing books. There is so much information for free online. www.naturalnews.com and www.mercola.com are excellent, trustworthy sources. Byron Richards has a good site too, but I don't know what the URL is. If you type his name into a browser it will come up. It's Health and Wellness Resources, I think.

What's a good name for a beauty/health blog?

Shelby Rae

I'm starting a beauty and just general health and feel good type blog. Makeup, nails, eating health, hair, reviews, maybe a workout here or there or something. What would be a good name? My name's Shelby. And the only idea I've had so far is Black Rim Beauty. Because I wear black wayfarer glasses and they're like my trademark. But IDK. I'd like it to be short. And something you can remember easily. Any ideas?

Beauty tips anyone?????????? Help!?

Q. So I'm a teenage girl, don't wear makeup, and was just wondering what tips or daily routines you have that help make you look great. it could be something to do with your skin, eyes, whatever. Just curious to know what works!

Answer
Hi there!
Here are some of my favorite beauty tips!

HAIR:
-When I'm in the shower, I mix some apple cider vinegar with my shampoo. And then I mix olive oil with mu conditioner! The apple cider vinegar helps to really clean my hair, and it also makes my hair super shiny! And the olive oil helps to hydrate my hair, and it also gives it a healthy glow!
-At night, don't let your hair loose, because when you roll around in bed, your hair can break. Also, you don't want to tie your up too tightly, other wise your hair can't breath. SO, a nice loose braid or bun it perfect for at night while you sleep!

SKIN:
-Every night, I give myself a honey facial! I simply put plain honey on my face, and then I gently massage the honey into my skin, using my fingertips. I then leave the honey on for 20 minutes, then I rinse it off with warm water. Honey is amazing for the skin! It's moisturizing, soothing, healing, and antibacterial. It's great for ALL skin types, and works wonders for getting rid of acne and wrinkles!
-Having a healthy skin care regime will ensure that you have beautiful skin! Simply make sure you cleanse, tone, and moisturize your skin twice a day, and wear sunscreen in the day time!
-Rosehip oil is great for the skin! It makes it glow with health and beauty, and supplies the skin with needed antioxidants! Apply rosehip oil on under your moisturizer, twice daily. It will give your skin a healthy glow.
-I take weekly buttermilk baths! I fill a tub with warm water, and add about 2-3 cups of powdered buttermilk! I also add a few drops of lavender oil. Then I soak in the bath for about 20-30 minutes. Buttermilk will make your skin SO soft! It also has lactic acid, which will help sloth off dead skin cells and exfoliate your skin. When I get out of the bath, I rub my body in olive oil.

EYES:
-To help get rid of puffy eyes, apply black or green tea bags to your eyes. Black and green tea are full of antioxidants that are great for tired eyes! Leave the bags on for about ten minutes. Then use a moisturizing eye cream.

NAILS:
I like to soak my nails in olive oil! It makes my nails super soft and shiny! It's also great for strengthening them. Simply fill a small bowl with olive oil, and soak your nails for about 10 minutes. You can do this twice weekly!

Those are just some of my beauty tips and tricks! I hope I've helped. :)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 19:48:00 -0700

Q. Ok what at most should a 13 year old girl use for skincare? I would like to use more then just a cleanser,toner, and moisturizer. I would like to use as much as I can but only if it benefits me. I am afraid that if I use higher end products like bobbi browns hydrating face cream or MAC products then my skin will grow "immune" to the products and wont work for me when I am 20 or 30 when I might really need it.
Ok here is a list of skincare products. If you think it should be in my skincare then just type the number beside it. Or you could spell it outt.......
Also, please leave your opinion on this. And try to give me reason of why you think this!!! Also Im not stupid.....I wont put wrinkle "helpers" or anything having to do with wrinkles.

List:
1.night moisturizer ( basically a thicker moisturizer like bobbi brown hydrating face cream)
2.moisturizer (day)
3.body moisturizer
4.neck moisturizer
5.eye (treatment) ( usually consists of eye rollers or anything thats not an eye cream or gel)
6.skin booster ( Things like MAC Fix+ or Sprays, Gels and creams that contain healthy properties )
7.Baby Wipes
8.cleanser
9.clarisonic mia
10.toner
11.mask(s)
12.exfoliator
13.lip balm
14.acne gel or spot treatment
15.eye cream
16.skin serum

Ok thxx if you actually put in effort for this question!!!
wowwww.... I do eat healthy
I dont actually use all of this!! I honestly just use a cleanser a toner and a moisturizer!. And 2 masks every week or so. I am just curious on how much I should take care of my skin.. I am not by any means OCD but thats how I think i sorta feel with skin and hair etc. I just really like pampering myself!!

Answer
Everyone has different skin tone so I can't really tell you what you should use. Skin tones Like oily or dry skin, Easily irritated skin, etc... So I advise you to go a beauty clinic store. I go to sephora and they helped me and my Sis a lot. We tell them what our problem is or what kind of skin we have and they recommend products that fits to your problem/skin. And they give you samples if you want to try it first. You can find a sephora store on google or other search engines. Hope I helped :)

My dermatologist do not recommend them. Talk to your dermatologist.

Topping the list of factors you can control is no shocker: Sun exposure is agingâs greatest accomplice. âYou hear it over and over again, but thatâs because itâs true,â according to New York City dermatologist David E. Bank, MD, FAAD, âThe sunâs rays break down collagen and elastin in the skin, causing wrinkles.â

Number one rule: stay out of the sun. Like Mario Lopez, he's a Mexican descent, but he won't even stand outside in the sun to do a photo shoot for a tanning lotion. Julianne Moore is one of those, who like to protect her skin from AGING. She walks in the shade. I grow up in Asia for 13 years, so I was dark, but it took more than 13 years to the color I have now. My neighbor only do errands after the sun had gone down.

Best sunscreen: wear denim clothing, floppy hat, or umbrella. They were invented to protect us from the elements.

I've been protecting myself from the sun since I was 9.

1. Because I don't want to look like a farmer.
2. Because I get too hot.
3. I want to look like movie stars & models, they have blemish-free skins.
4. I don't want to look like an old prune or get moles on my neck & face like my aunts.

No matter, I still got Discoid Lupus (Google it), caused from the sun. It took 12 years for them to fade. Tried all kinds of lotions that were prescribed to me, and none of them worked. More & more now I protect myself and I take my wide brim hat everywhere I go, or use an umbrella. Floppy hats are back in style. In Asia, they use umbrella all the time. Here in the States, people started to catch on, and I see people walking w/umbrella, they are used on the beach, and they sell patio umbrellas. It was invented for a reason and also to protect us from getting skin cancer. Wear long jackets, or denim a lot. Even inside a car, the heat alone from the sun can tan anyone.

RE SKIN LIGHTENING:
The FDA have banned 23 more whitening products. Google it. About 17,600,000 results.
The reason cited for the proposed ban is that studies in rodents show "some evidence" that hydroquinone may act as a carcinogen or cancer-causing chemical, although its cancer-causing properties have yet to be proved in humans. Hydroquinone also has been linked with the medical condition known as ochronosis in which the skin becomes dark and thick. Dome-shaped yellowish spots and grayish-brown spots also are observed in ochronosis among black women and men in South Africa, Britain, and the U.S. Ochronosis has been observed in conjunction with hydroquinone use even in persons who have used hydroquinone-containing cosmetics for a short time. Some studies also report abnormal function of the adrenal glands and high levels of mercury in people who have used hydroquinone-containing cosmetics. For these reasons, hydroquinone has already been banned in Japan, the European Union, and Australia.

Any skin-lightening products containing hydroquinone would be considered new drugs, according to the proposed FDA regulations. The products would require FDA approval before being sold to the public and would only be available with a doctor's prescription.
Skin Creams, Soaps and Lotions Marketed as Skin Lighteners and Anti-aging Treatments: May Contain the Toxic Metal, Mercury.

One YA poster used lemon on her skin: "i use 2 put lemon on my face mostly my chin area, andï»¿ wat happend it dried it outï»¿ and actually made it look darker and now looks discoloredâ¦"

Makeup, skin care, how can i continue?

watup?

im really interested in makeup and skin care, is there some type of "education" that i can pursue, i want to make it into my "career". i want to be able to do other pples makeup and travel, how can i pursue this?

Answer
I'm not sure where you're from but There's many school that offer Aesthetics so you could always pursue it that way. I worked for Clinique for quie some time and if skin care and make-up is what you want to go into, I'd suggest applying at a Clinique counter. They are #1 across North America and really teach you ALOT about skin care and make-up. I learned so much more that way then going to school for it (which I did) and actually got certified in make-up artistry. Now I do freelance for weddings and such. They really are the best comapny out there and working with prestige make-up really gives you and upper hand.

Answer
Pregnancy skin care for pregnant women is really essential; skin care and pregnancy go hand-in-hand. In order to maintain a pregnancy skin care routine, you'll need to focus on the basics of skin care. Follow these easy pregnancy skin care tips.
Pregnancy Skin Care: Cleansing
Start with a gentle cleanser. Dr. Amy Newburger, MD, a Westchester dermatologist, recommends using a nonresidue or glycerin-based facial cleanser. If your skin is ultra dry, then she suggests washing with a soapless rinse-off cleanser that's mild and moisturizing. Wash your face no more than twice a day to prevent overdrying.

Pregnancy Skin Care: Moisturizing and Sun Protection
The most important addition you should make to your skin-care routine during pregnancy (and beyond) is a moisturizer with at least SPF 15, and with broad spectrum protection (that works against both UVA and UVB rays).

Dr. Newburger explains that during pregnancy, elevated hormone levels trigger the multiplication of pigment cells, which can cause facial blotchiness, or "the mask of pregnancy." Using sunscreen daily â rain or shine â is the best way to avoid this discoloration. If you know you're going to be out in the midday sun or at the beach, protect yourself with a sunblock of SPF 30 or higher. Look for lotions and creams with the ingredient Parsol 1789 or Avobenzone on the label.

Pregnancy Skin Care: Acne and Oil
If your skin is oily and/or acne prone, you'll probably experience your worst breakouts during the first trimester of pregnancy. The safest way to treat these breakouts is with a product that contains glycolic acid, alpha hydroxy acid, topical erythromycin (prescription only), or witch hazel.

Generally, most dermatologists don't recommend the use of topical retinoids (such as Retin-A or Differin) or salicylic acid â check product labels for ingredients. While these ingredients haven't been linked with birth defects, when there's no conclusive evidence one way or the other, it's best to err on the side of caution.

Pregnancy Skin Care: Quick and Easy Makeup
When it comes to wearing makeup during pregnancy, stick with the less-is-more philosophy. It's faster and easier. All you really need to put your best face forward are few multipurpose products.

A foundation stick that doubles as concealer is great for covering under-eye circles and blemishes, and for evening out skin tone. Chubby pencils are foolproof for smudging on eyes, lips, and cheeks, and they won't take up much room in your bag. If you're the kind of person who won't leave the house without lipstick, make sure it's moisturizing and contains sun protection. For a polished look, finish up with a coat of washable, waterproof mascara and you're ready for the day.

Dry skin care problems.?

Zach L

So I have very severe acne on my face chest and back.
I'm on Acutane (medication in a pill form that gets rid of acne and prevents further breakouts) to try to remedy this but the medication has harsh side effects.
Dry peeling skin
dry cracked lips (painful)
both of these to the extreme.
Now this is the second time I've been on it (first time was for six months)
But this time the dry skin and lips are much worse than the first time.
I'm usin Blistex lip balm and while it works kinda, it only lasts a short time before it wears off.
It also rubs off on everything (food drinks hands clothes ect.)
It makes my lips very shiny if I put enough on, if I don't put enough on it doesn't work.
And I'm not sure if it's the acutane or the blistex my my lips appear twice their normal size(I look like a clown)
If any one has any answers as to effective alternatives to bothersome blistex, or a fixer for my clownish appearence
PLEASE HELP!
thanks
I get a perscription for the medication fro a dermatoligist. He told me to expect the dry lips and to use LOTS of lip balm, I was just wondering if there was a better solution out there.

Answer
I had that problem maybe a month ago but because I overwashed it trying to get rid of blemishes but they ended up getting worse and with dry cracking, flaky skin.....
You have to exfoliate to get rid of dead skin cells so I couldnt stop exfoliating so I stated exfoliating less harshly and more gentle exfoliation. I moisturized my skin with thicker lotions made specially for dry faces and did it more often. I kept reapplying all day whenever it started losing moisture. My lips werent horrible but they were cracked and dry so I rubbed olive oil on them and again kept caramex on them. But the one where you put it on with your finger one cause that one is more thick and the other caramex are more glossy
But what I think helped out my dry skin the most is water. I drank TONS of it. No kidding I would drink it all day. I would sip it once in a while but I would take big drinks all day. Its true what they say about water it does great things for your body. Appearance wise it cleared my skin so it was moist and blemish free and just great skin overall.. Hope I helped you a out a bit and GOOD LUCK!!

how is the market for herbal, natural skin care products in switzerland.?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 16:00:00 -0700

business in formation

Answer
Well Switzerland is the best for natural skin care products right now the idea to provide skin care products unparalleled in quality and effectiveness developed in Switzerland in 1975, when one man, Petter MÃ¸rck, together with a group of leading bio-chemists, biologists and herbalists, fulfilled his vision and founded Arbonne.

Arbonne's skin care products, based on botanical principles, became a reality in the United States in 1980 and are now shared throughout the world through Arbonne's network of Independent Consultants. Building on these same founding principles, Arbonne's product line has since grown to include both inner and outer health and beauty products that are unparalleled in quality, safety, value, benefits and results!

The Arbonne Institute of Research and Development, or AIRD, is a research and development facility located in Switzerland. The purpose of this institution is to coordinate the efforts of master formulators as they research, develop and finalize Arbonneâs exclusive skin care products. These proprietary formulas are owned by Arbonne and represent botanically-based products based on cutting-edge technologies and the latest advances in skin care science.

Pierrre Bottiglieri coordinates the development of Arbonneâs proprietary skin care formulas at AIRD in Switzerland. In this capacity Pierre brings his own expertise and the best minds in the business to the development of new formulas. The blending of Pierreâs extensive experience, global technologies, plus Arbonneâs commitment to rigorous research and development, creates a winning formula of pure, safe, beneficial products.

Pierre Bottiglieri is a renowned scientist and has 35 years of experience formulating products for several Swiss-international companies. Pierre has been a member of the Swiss Society of Cosmetic Chemists (Swiss Society Cosmetic Chemists) since 1972 and has played key roles in the IFSCC (International Federation Society Cosmetic Chemists) since that time.

The wonderful thing about Arbonne is that it's not just about great products, it's also about great people. The Arbonne family is made up of thousands of individuals working to make their dreams come true. Through sales incentives and rewards, travel opportunities, a generous SuccessPlan and great products, Arbonne offers a unique opportunity that can help make anyone's vision for the future a reality. I buy arbonne online and their products are just great and they are so convinced you will love their products that they have a money back guarantee, even if you already used the products ..... https://secure.myarbonne.com/arbonne/arbonnepuertorico.nsf/p1/1?OpenDocument&shoppingcart=1

Benefits of pale skin?

Relina

I have very pale skin, golden blonde hair, and blue eyes..I'm a little bit self conscious about my pale skin. I don't find it very attractive..i don't think guys do either. What are some benefits?

Answer
There are people who love skin like Coco (Google her and see what her skin looks like you can see the close up of her skin on TV Ice T loves Coco a reality show) and there are people who love flawless skin (Michelle Pfeffier, Adele, Nicole Kidman) all have pale skin.

Which side do you like?
To get super tan you will have to be tanning for @ least 60 years, George Hamilton & Tom Jones are two examples, who ARE super tan! Google them.
Tanning comes & go, unless you do them everyday 24/7 for the rest of your life. But in the end the only thing you'll benefit is either moles, freckles or discolorations from sunscreens, lotions, etc. and the more you do, the more they get larger, darker & bumpier. My nephew had a membership in a tanning bed salon for a year. After it expired, he stopped, now he's as white as before he began.

Tanning, is a result for 'damaged skin' and no products can reverse you from skin cancer or damaged skin, may prevent you from pre-mature aging, but that's part of the billion dollar beauty industry.
A new study conducted by the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Dermatology has found that tanning bed exposure can be dangerous when tanners self-diagnose skin problems and use the radiation to treat skin eruptions. The study specifically found that a tanning bed user that used the radiation to treat a mild skin rash caused by an ibuprofen allergy developed a much more severe reaction called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). When left untreated, TEN can be fatal.
March 5, 2011 2:28 PM:
Melanoma is the leading cause of death from skin disease. An estimated 68,130 new cases of melanoma were diagnosed in the United States during 2010 and about 8,700 people died from the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute. Two million people are diagnosed with skin cancer in the US each year, according to the EPA's Sun-Wise Program. That's more than breast, colon, lung and prostate cancer cases combine!
Lotions does not protect you from nasty, painful burns. Lotions does not protect you skin cancer. Lotions does not protect you from skin diseases. Lotions does not protect you from discolorations - permanently. And lotions does not protect you from skin tags, freckles, moles, they will only get larger, darker, and bumpier as they are exposed from UV.

This year, 56,900 new cases of skin cancer will be reported; most of these people (not so coincidentally) don't take care of their skin when out in the sun.

Google: Warning in Tanning beds: About 9,150,000 results (0.25 seconds)Â

Google her and see what she looks like 2010.
"Plastic Week: Lisa Gastineau On The Dangers Of Tanning Beds"

She had 2-3 melanoma moles removed, one by her nose. She had nose surgery just to get her nose straighter, so she can breath again. She got those moles from a tanning bed.

I DON'T think you can predict your future.

Who cares if you have white skin, at least you will look beautiful when you get in your 50's, and girls with whiter skin will look YOUNGER looking in their 50's if you know how to preserve your skin.
I came from a vacay in Ireland, and many of the people there working in the profession (luxury hotels and banks, etc.) have beautiful white complexion!

I've been protecting myself from the sun since age 9, but no matter, I got Discoid Lupus. Google that one. It was like someone punched my chin and it gave a purplish mark. It took 12 years for that to fade, so now I'm using a wide brim hat or umbrella for protection. Gene Simmons & Shannon both have been seen hold an umbrella during an event. They were invented before beauty products, for a reason. Google also Bullous Pemphegoid another skin disorder. My husband's aunt recently got MELANOMA IN HER LUNGS, and in hospice now. When only last Christmas, she was behaving and very happy like she's 35 again! She's almost 84.

HOW OLD DO YOU LOOK . . . REALLY?
Blame genetics all you want, but it's really about how you've treated your skin. Dr. Michael Roizen, M.D. internist & author of the RealAge books, to quantify the effect your habits have had. The quiz is designed with a 28yrs. old in mind. Damage is cumulative, so if you're older or younger than 28, the number on the right would be slightly higher or lower.

Take your age and add the number of years listed on the right for every 'yes' answer.
1. Have you had more than 10 bad sunburns in your life? + 25 years
2. Do you have red, itchy eyes from allergies: + 25 years
3. Are you a regular smoker? + 2 years
4. Do you live in a highly polluted city? + 25 years

Now subtract the number of years on the right for every 'yes' answer.
1. Do you cleanse your skin every day? - 1.5 years
2. Do you get seven to nine hours of sleep each night - 1.5 years
3. Do you wear sunscreen regularly? - 1 year
4. Do you have dark brown skin tone? - 1 year
5. Do you regularly wear moisturizer? - 1 year

Looked Fake - Posted By: Anonymous 2008-12-06
I bought this at the same time that I began us ing Nucelle skin care treatment products for my skin. I tried wearing this product with and without Nucelle under it. Each time, this make-up looked fake and pigmented. It was easy to apply and very silky but didn't look very natural on me.

How do you get immaculate healthy, good looking skin?!?

I Care for

I mean,
http://luvcosmetics.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Healthy-Skin-Care-Products-300x289.jpg

How? Honestly, I would give a leg too have skin like this for my confidence.

What product would the lady be using?
What moisturizers would you use?
Would you need a healthy diet?
Does sleep have an affect on good looking skin?

So many questions, but i'd love the answers.

Thanks in adavnce!

Answer
The best way to get good looking skin, I find, is to drink a lot of water and try not to eat sugar. Yes, try to get a healthy amount of sleep. Use a simple cream moisturizer and exfoliate your face, then follow up with a cream cleanser. Remember, you are what you eat, so if you love greasy potato chips and candy, your skin will reflect that. Smoking and drinking also have an effect on the way your skin looks. Good luck getting healthy!

Any good advice to avoid skin aging.......i know about sun protection......any other ideas??

Anti Aging Skin Care At Home

Anti-aging skin care is a concern for all people. All of you are growing and your skin will show that you are aging. But you desire younger-looking skin. Science helps to fight the signs of aging skin in many ways. Surgical treatments can make you look young in a short time. But formulations that you can use at home can give equally satisfying results, if you begin using them from an early age.

There are many products that help you look young - AHAs, retinoids, copper peptide, vitamin c, etc. The problem that you will face is different- which product/products should you use? You cannot use all the products that are available, so you have to decide a skin care regimen that helps fight your skin problems and gives you optimum results.

Along with this, you have to consider the use of the products based on science and not their advertising. You will find many formulations of vitamin c in the market. But will that vitamin c enter your skin, since vitamin c is a highly unstable molecule? You would not like to spend money on products that won't work. You will have to discuss these issues with your doctor.

Similarly, if you propose to use retinoids, you have to first find out about your skin. Using retinoids on dry skin may dry the skin further. You have to thus look at skin care from both sides- your skin type and your need and the product, its effects and side effects. Once you arrive at a balance, you can make a regimen that will surely help you look young for a longer time.

How to properly care for skin?

lola

Besides washing my face, what can I do to have the healthiest skin possible? Any tips? Thanks

Answer
The best defense you have to care for your skin and to keep it looking as young as possible as long as possible is sunscreen. (Each and every day, even in the winter!)

Of course, keeping your skin well hydrated, a good balanced diet and sufficient sleep are also important.

For beginning a skin care regimen start with a gentle cleanser, like Aveeno which has a soy base so it doesn't dry the skin. (Unless you have very oily skin most people only need to use a cleanser once a day).

Find a toner with antioxidants as active ingredients like vitamin C, spin trap or copper peptides. Then use a glycolic acid gel with a concentration of between 8% to 10%. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid, (AHA) which is a chemical exfoliant and will get rid of the dead skin cells that collect on the surface of the skin. If your skin tends to be oily try a 1% to 2% beta hydroxy acid (BHA) instead. They are both also a great blemish preventor as well. Spot treat any blemishes with OTC treatments.

Next, find a moisturizer with a vitamin A (retinol) active ingredient, and last apply a sunscreen. (Anthelios is the newest one just approved by the FDA and is non-greasy, light, and absorbs well.) Since it isn't as cheap as some others, you can use it only on your face so it lasts longer.

The antioxidants will help protect your skin while helping it to heal and the glycolic acid and retinol will help prevent acne outbreaks and even out your skin tone while addressing any hyperpigmentation and other signs of aging skin.

Once or twice a week use a microdermabrasion scrub after giving yourself a facial steam for a deep pore cleansing.

At night, after toning again, use a rich nighttime emollient moisturizer. If you are interested in firming your skin, look for one with DMAE as an ingredient.

Here's are some sample skin care regimens: http://www.skincareresourcecenter.com/step-by-step-skin-care.html

With dedication to a simple skin care routine, your skin will look wonderful well into your elder years...

good skin care routine for a 14 year old?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 03:00:00 -0700

Mia

what is a good daily/weekly and monthly skin care routine for a 14 year old girl?
i have combination skin with an oily t-zone and the rest of my skin is dry/normal.
any advice?
names of products will be nice too :))

Answer
Cleanse and moisturize twice a day (no more than this).
Use products tailored to your skin eg. for oily skin or dry skin etc.
Exfoliate twice a week either with an exfoliating sponge and normal cleanser or with actual exfoliating cream.
Use a mask once a week (this might aggravate your skin the first time but with continued use it will do wonders, especially if you use pure clay).
Personally I think all natural products are amazing and deliver results. Depending on where your from try your local health food store they most likely stock natural products or if your in Australia try perfect potion.
For spots try tea tree oil. It works!
Whatever you do dont fall pray to proactive/harsh chemically based products they deliver short term only and are expensive.
Depending how much coverage you want with make up try mineral make up or tinted moisturizer or clinique foundation.
For a 14 year old I think foundation and eyeliner/mascara is plenty.
You should try to get 8 - 9 hours sleep.
The best thing for clear skin is plenty of water and a good diet.

is there a skin care regimen for 8 year old girls?

Michele R

I am an avon rep and am looking for a skin care regimen for 8 to 12 year olds for girls

Answer
I think thats a bit young to be starting a skin care regime, but i would advise always to use a mild cleanser and a mild alcohol free toner followed by a light moisturiser like nivea for a young skin

Child protection services in NSW during 1950s-80s?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 21 Jun 2014 17:48:00 -0700

rainbowsty

Does anyone have any information on the child protection services in NSW, Australia during the 1950s-80s time period?
Eg what system did they have, was it effective? Did the Deparment of Community services (DOCs) exist back then?

Answer
I'm pretty sure DoCS didn't come into existence until the 1980s, as 'Family and Community Services'. Before then there was a child welfare department of some kind, but I'm not sure what its name was.

Regarding how 'effective' the services provided were, it would depend a lot on who was doing the telling.

Welfare services pre-1970s were mostly of the institutional model, with the 'poor' and 'needy' warehoused in huge institutions, often sleeping dormitary style, under the care of all powerful directors or appointed officials.

Recent years have seen a plethora of law suits related to abuse, neglect and mismanagment within such institutions, as the systems were tremendously open to corruption.

It seems very obvious nowadays that the worst types of people would seek to infiltrate such systems, and the fact is they very often did, with disastrous results.

Apart from institutional care, not much was available in the way of family support, certainly no pensions or benefits. If charity wasn't available for the poor, they did without, and if that meant their kids did without, well that was considered sad but inevitable.

Because the husband/father/male was considered to be the head of household, laws relating to women's and children's rights did not really exist. For example, parents were not permitted to kill their children, but child abuse was not a concept people understood at all. If a child was beaten, even very badly, it was thought the child was 'bad'.

Fathers particularly could be quite brutal without any fear, but the case was a little different for mothers.

Single women, especially if they were poor, were liable to have their children removed at any time for 'crimes' such as neglect, which could simply mean having unfinished washing up in the sink when 'the welfare' called around. The child would be shunted off to an institution and may not have ever been allowed to return home.

And for Aboriginal people, the case was even worse. Fair skinned Aboriginal children were regularly rounded up and removed from their parents and placed in institutional care or adopted out to white families. These children were often raised as servants in their 'adopted' homes, and if institutionalised were actually trained for this.

Many older people may remember those times as 'easier' or 'better' as regards child welfare services, but this was at least in part due to the way problems were kept out of sight and out of mind (institutionalising orphaned or abandoned children), simply not recognised (ignoring abuse) or were presented as solutions (such as stealing Aboriginal children).

The NSW State Library would have a lot of information and old records regarding this. I've put a couple of links for further reference.

Best wishes :-)

How did classic hollywood stars get such smooth, clear skin?

Future Cel

I am just curious as to how they got to have such smooth, clear skin. I know that it was sort of before all of the touch up technology we have today. Yet, the cameras and pictures of the time got some major close ups, and they never seem to have a single blemish or imperfection. I am just wondering what exactly it was they used or did skin care wise, or was it just makeup. I'm talking about people from the old hollywood 1940s-1950s ish, like Katharine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, Ava Gardner, Lauren Bacall, Grace Kelly, etc. Thanks!

newborn / infants skin care?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 21 Jun 2014 06:48:00 -0700

Blackbeaut

hi i just recently had my son 5 weeks ago
i qot a questuion about his skin
his skin is starting to peel plus he is getting wat looks like a rash around his neck and shoulders ??

Answer
peeling is really normal. My third child did it for weeks and weeks after he was born. Its because they are in fluid for 40 long weeks and the air dries their skin out. Moisturise him with olive oil or sorbolene twice a day to keep his skin supple. You can still bath him daily but don't use fragranced baby washes and shampoos. Plain warm water is fine and then rub him down afterward with moisturiser

It should only take a few more weeks to stop peeling so much

The rash could be from clothes irratating him? Its hard to know with rashes. See if the twice daily moisturising helps and if the rash is worse or no better in a few days take him to the doctors.
You should be seeing the doc at 6 weeks anyway so mention it when you go there

congrats and best of luck

Recommendations for basic skin care products?

Luck

I am in my early 20s, okay skin condition, usually no acnes. I want to get some basic skin care products-- cleasners, face creams, hydration products, mask,etc. Please give me some recommendations on brand(s) that are good and with reasonable prices. Also, where should I purchase these products from? Walmart? A beauty shop in the mall? A Department store?

Answer
I am in my late 20's and up until now i used neutrogena face wash. I recently switched to clinique because my skin started drying out because i switched jobs and work in a rather harsh environment where it is always below 40 degrees. I always used neutrogena and then I would follow up with the neutrogena face cream for combination skin. It has an spf in it which is something else to look for. The neutrogena you can buy anywhere and it's relatively cheap. The clinique you can buy in the mall and they will help you pick a product line for your skin. It's definitely more expensive but well worth it.

Homemade skin care treatments or none homemade?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 21 Jun 2014 00:00:00 -0700

Lovely

I need a day time skin treatment and night time. I want to know what you guys think can suggest stuff to me. I have some tiny bit of acne around my cheeks and black heads on nose. Now I have a scar in the middle of my eyebrows help

Answer
I used home remedies with my acne. I started taking zinc for my acne. Here are some tips that might be helpful:
1) Tea Tree Oil
2) Lemon juice
3) Apple cider vinegar
4) Bamboo extract or Sarna lotion â good for rosacea, psoriasis, eczema
5) Bio Oil or BB cream for dark spots or scars
6) Toothpaste is very effective for acne leave on face for about 20 to 30 minutes then wash.

Applied lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to face or you can drink it through using it in water a few drops a day. Will help with both acne, and scars as well. Another way you can get rid of acne is by taking bamboo extract something I started when I had the problem really does work. Hope this works for you.

OR: Here are seven best methods to clear up blemishes.

Tea-Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is a popular home remedy for acne. An essential oil is diluted and applied topically to acne lesions. How is tea tree oil believed to work? Tea tree oil contains a constituent called terpinen-4-ol that's thought to be responsible for most of tea tree oil's anti-bacterial activity. Because tea tree oil can kill bacteria, applying topical tea tree oil to acne lesions is believed to kill Propionibacterium acnes, the skin-dwelling bacteria involved in acne.To treat mild, occasional breakouts.
How it works: Distilled from the leaves of an Australian shrub, tea-tree oil contains antibacterial and anti-microbial compounds called terpenoids that help kill the bacteria that, when trapped behind oil in a plugged pore, lead to acne breakouts. Try Burtâs Bees Herbal Blemish Stick ($8, burtsbees.com). A roller-ball tube makes for easy application.Studies testing tea-tree oil against the gold-standard acne treatment, benzoyl peroxide, have shown that while the latter works more quickly, tea-tree oil is equally effective over time. And it results in fewer annoying side effectsânamely, dryness and redness.

Sulfur
If you have sensitive skin.
How it works: A time-tested, gentle acne fighter, sulfur âacts like a sponge to draw oil out of blocked pores,â. This dries up pimples and keeps sebum production in check, helping to prevent future blemishes. Sulfur has a distinct smellâthink rotten eggs. Most preparations that use it contain a masking fragrance. However, to play it safe (and avoid scaring off coworkers), apply these products at night.

Salicylic Acid
To treat and soothe red, inflamed blemishes.Salicylic acid can have a calming, anti-inflammatory effect on pimples. âIt also breaks down the âcementâ between cells in clogged pores to help unplug them,â
Salicylic acid is less irritating than more potent treatments, so it may be better for those with dry skin. It also tends to work well on stubborn blackheads.

Retinoids
Nightly to prevent breakouts.
How they work: Retinoids, which include over-the-counter retinol and prescription-strength Retin-A, reduce acne by altering the oil chemistry on the skin. âThey help stop dense sebum from getting stuck within the pores,â says Gross. Without oil deposits, bacteria canât grow and cause blemishes. Since retinoids can make skin sensitive to the sun, doctors recommend using them at night (and being diligent about wearing sunscreen during the day). To avoid irritation, apply every other evening to start, gradually working up to nightly use. Bonus benefit: Retinoids have been shown to increase collagen production and plump fine lines, making them a good choice if youâre dealing with acne and wrinkles.

Blue-Light Therapy
If you want the latest preventive treatmentâand donât mind plunking down some cash for it.
How it works: Once or twice a week, you use a handheld device to aim a beam of blue light onto your skin. âIts wavelength hits and kills acne-causing bacteria,â so any brewing pimples never come to the surface.This method will not address existing blemishes. Doctors typically suggest combining blue-light therapy with other remedies, such as topical treatments. To make things easy, consider a blue-light device that comes in a kit. At-home devices are smart alternatives to multiple costly treatments at a doctorâs office.

Oral Antibiotics
If you experience painful bumps below the skin surface and your pimples leave lasting marks. âOral antibiotics act from the inside to kill the bacteria that cause acne,â says Keri. They also reduce the inflammation associated with pimples, so deep-seated blemishes hurt less and leave fewer scars.

Doctors usually prescribe them to get a severe condition under control and may then switch to topical treatments. Some antibiotics must be taken on an empty stomach, so read the label carefully.

He loves m

okay, so my face is pretty clear, a few zits every once in a while, but i want my skin to be like.. amazing. haha (: i checked this website & it said to use (non-scented) face wash, moisturizer, a weekly mask & exfoliator. It recommends Biore Pore Minimizing Refining Exfoliator && Aveda's Deep Cleansing Herbal Clay Masque has anybody used this? if you have, or if you recommend anything else, comment please! that'd be great! thanks (:

Answer
I use Body Shop face products =) I highly recommend you try them out ! EVERY product I've EVER bought there never fails to impress! I use the Seaweed Purifying Facial Cleanser =) I think cleansing is the MOST important part of your routine , because if you don't remove dirt, oil & grime, you'll breakout.
On to moisturizer: I use the Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer for combo/oily skin (: I've used it daily for about a year now and I love it! Very very basic moisturizer, but something I can't live without ! Also, it's pretty inexpensive (:
Mask/exfoliator: I normally don't use masks or exfoiliators, I feel they aren't completely necessary for ME, but I do use them when my skin is feeling gross or I'm stressed. (You should use one of the two products when your stressed/tired to prevent it from showing thru your skin =) )
The best thing to do is visit a Body Shop location close to you and speak to one of the workers there, they'll help you find the perfect routine for your skin ! =)

**Just for reference, my skin is normal, but it gets a little oily around my nose and forehead (T-zone) , so to be on the safe side, I use products for combo/oily skin=)

Teens: SOme questions about skin and skin care..?

We Are Shi

I asked this in the skin and body section but it's dead there. lol.

1-) how many times should i cleanse my face a day?
2) how often should i exfoliate/moisturize?
3) is toning important?
4) Is it a good idea to change your facial cleanser ever month? I heard that your skin can become immune to it.
5) any other skin tips would be greatly appreciated!

ps- oh yea, how to deal with body acne? (i know it's gross, but yea -_- )

Answer
I'm not sure on what is recommended, but this is just what i do. Of course i am different to you, and everyone has different skin types, so what might work for me, might not for you.

1). Twice. Once in the morning and once at night.
2). Usually once or twice. I usually exfoliate and moisturize in the morning and night.
3). Ehh, i don't do it. I don't need it. It depends on your skin, though. More of a personal decision.
4). Again, this depends on the individual. My skin is great with the same facial cleanser i've used for over a year now, but in saying that i don't use it everyday, because my skin sometimes reacts to too much cleansing as opposed to too little. It may be a good idea to do so if you want, but some products may work for you, and some might not.
5). Facial cleansers aren't that important, unless you have skin problems. I only use mine when my skin is playing up. Just make sure to wash your face with water twice a day. Oh, and try not to touch your face! Drinking heaps of water can help with acne. Make sure to stay hydrated; it's very important for healthy skin.

BODY ACNE:
Exfoliate gently whilst in the shower. Do you do heaps of sports or something that causes you to sweat a lot? That can cause acne. Maybe use a powder puff? And wash your body when you shower. They make body acne washes.
If nothing else works, then you can go to the doctor and have an acne cream prescribed. They're expensive, but they're effective!

Good luck!

Best skin-care product?

pippi

I need a product that will keep away acne, and keep my skin looking good... Lots of people have recommended the Clinique 3-step system, but it's $50, and I'm not sure how long it lasts, so I don't know if it's worth it.

Answer
Hey Girl! :)
I have tried the Clinique 3- step skincare system, and for me personally, it didn't help my skin like I would have liked. I felt the toner and facial soap dried out my skin and made it feel tight. I did love the moisturizer though. :)

I have begun using the Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser For Normal to Oily Skin. What I love about the cleanser, is that it is very gentle and does a good job at making you feel squeaky clean. It has helped keep my pimples at bay.

I use the cleanser every other day. In between those days, I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub for Oily or Acne Prone Skin. This stuff is AMAZINGGGG!!!! :)
It makes your skin feel fresh, baby soft, and squeaky clean. :) I would recommend using it every other day though, since it is an exfoliator. It might be harsh towards your skin if you were to use it everyday.

Lastly, I use Clean & Clear Oil-Free Dual Action Moisturizer at bed time. This helps to moisturize my skin and helps treat any pimples I have at the same time. :) I really love this moisturizer. It gives my face a cooling sensation which I love.

I hope these recommendations for skincare helped you! This routine has really done wonders for my skin and I hope it helps you too.

allanbabes

Is it effective? How can you compare it to the Obagi Skin care products?

Answer
Your skin absorbs everything you put on it. It goes straight to your blood stream.

Pro Active has harsh minerals for ingredient. I found they made me tired and eventually ate away at my skin. I found that proactive bleached my towels and clothes... I was super mad!!! I didn't even bother sending it back...

I stated using Mary Kay, then I ended up selling it... Facial skin needs a balance of being clean, refreshed, refined and moisturized...

Lack of moisture in your skin creates acne... I know it sounds odd... most people think "my face is oily, I need to wash it before I breakout"

Microdermabrasion is a good way to get ride of dead skin cells (which cause breakouts also) ...

Clinique has good facial cleaning products. Lancome sells AWESOME moisturizers... MAC's cleaning products are horrible for your skin ... they are more of "get the makeup off my face" type of stuff... so...

My acne was not horrible. I only had a few blemishes, but I still wanted a pure complexion.

I use Airbon now. It is an all natural formula. I love it! I have the perfect, un blemished skin now!

has anyone tried the OBAGI SKIN CARE SYSTEM,, Do you recommend it why or why not???

Gertrude

i was considering trying the OBagi skin care system but i am hestitant about it . so should i try it why or why not??

Answer
No.

There are many hair care system out there. None is better than the other. If I bottle all my hair tips & suggestion and charge people $45 each, would people buy it? Of course not! I'm a nobody. But you get them all FREE on YA HAIR.

When you wash your hair with one of those nutrient-rich shampoos, most of the nutrients and active ingredients in the product donât actually end up in your hair, they wind up down the drainâ¦ along with all the money you spent on the shampoo.
It is HOW you use to style your hair or what styling tools that damage the hair, and what chemicals you're adding to the hair, not the shampoo.

Best advice from Hollywood's well known hairstylist in the 80's once said: "Keep foods in your mouth and hair products on your hair."

Good hair comes from good hair care, good genes, and good healthy foods from Mother Nature, not made by man like ObagI, John Frieda, or supplements from GNC.

Google: "Foods for Healthy Hair" - the website had moved, type it in.

Growing healthy hair doesn't come from a bottle or pills and hair products do not speed hair growth. Any hair oil, is another form to keep hair moisturized, nothing more. If you're in HS, your hair & nails should be growing normally, and as healthily as possible, since you're eating healthy foods. But when hair isn't growing as fast, it's because they've been tempered with: chemicals, hair straightening, etc. . .

Best answer comes from people with Avatars, showing their healthy shiny, soft, silky, smooth hair.

Sources:
I know hair. I have over 4 decades of hair know-how. I have silky, shiny, soft, smooth very healthy hair down to my knees. Previously damaged by perming & dyeing in the 80's & 90's. I've known people in their 30's whose hair stopped growing from ironing their hair in the 70's.
The hair industry is a billion dollar business, they sell products that cleans & condition the hair. They also sell products that damage and causes hair loss. They also DO NOT give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss due to 'abuse'.

Answer
You're 15 and you're doing too much for your skin. I'm 60 and have been doing the same routine as when I was 15.

The less products you use, the better for your skin. Use a bath wash like Suave Bath & Body Gel, use a washcloth. Treat your face like the rest of your body, take a shower everyday or wash your face everyday.

The secret is keeping your face clean and oil-free. I also don't use liquid on my face for anything, and very little moisturizer, not even a dime size. Since my face is not dry. Good skin also comes from your good genes. Increase your fresh fruits & vegetables 3-5 servings per day. And programmed your mind to do this day after day, for the rest of your life.

Acne medication could worsen what ever allergies you have, so instead of trying out one product after another, you're actually spreading it around. Example: ProActiv contains a known carcinogen, at a percentage known to promote skin cancer.

Smoking has been shown to make acne worse since it diminishes the delivery of oxygen to the skin and robs it of nutrients, thereby inhibiting cars from healing. Not enough reason to quit? Smoke depletes moisture, making skin lose its luster and look wrinkly.

The beauty industry is a billion dollar business, they know acne is everyone's problem, but instead of saying soap is drying for you, they have to invent an acne product that can worsen the skin as MANY TEENAGERS have experienced during hormonal change, but as you get older those are completely a waste of time & money!

The FDA has called for more safety studies on benzoyl peroxide because of concern about what happens when skin treated with it is exposed to the sun. Until research can establish or disprove a possibleÂ skinÂ cancerÂ link to the use of benzoyl peroxide products, the agency plans to require an extra warning and directions on the labeling: "When using this product, avoid unnecessary sun exposure and use sunscreen." and "If going outside, use a sunscreen. Allow [product name] to dry, then follow directions in the sunscreen labeling. If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use of both products and consult a doctor."

How to care for acne skin?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 08:48:00 -0700

::CuPiXX::

So I'm like really blur on how to get rid of the acne in my skin. I wan it to go FAST!!! We're having school holidays now for 2 months and I badly want the pimples to be gone by the time school reopens. It'll be my last year next year and I don't want to be remembered as pizza face!

Please, please give me tips or ways to care for acne skin stuff like how many times to cleanse my face, the usage of mask, scrubs and any other things that you can think of!!!

Answer
Hey there. I had acne horribly as a teen. Let me tell you. ^^ Now first you msut understand that acne starts as an internal problem - the pimples are just a symptom of a greater problem. You need to eat healthily - don't eat too few calories or nutrients or too many as both have hazardous effects on the skin thus resulting in inflamed unhappy skin.

Now my suggestion is to eat foods rich in antioxidants which are naturally good for you and your skin. Green tea, white tea, and water are excellent choices along with raw fruits and vegetables. Next you should be taking a vitamin supplement. There's this formula at Walgreens called "Nature's Cure" for men and women - it has these pills which are homeopathic herbal supplements (aka vitamin tablets.) The box is about 10$ or less and it comes with a cream. I'd chunck the cream.

Seriosuly, all those topical acne products do nothing for the skin other than dry it out and aggrevate it. Serisouly. A good skin regimen is a cleanser specific to your skin type, a toner and a moisturizer. Use in that order at a maximum of twice a day. Now my suggestions on products would be the Almay line as it's color coded by skin type and is a full system. Although it can be a tad over priced for drugstore brand stuff.

Also use a gentle chemical peel once a week ( a scrub is too rough for acne prone skin and can cause other problems and make acne worse) such as Olay Thermal Scrub which isn't a scrub at all. Heh.

It has a mild amount of glycolic acid (this stuff will lightly slough off dead skin - dead skin is major cause of acne as the oils produced by the skin mix with the dead skin creating this bacteria infested almost "cheese" known as sebum or smegma in the pore) so look for stuff with glycolic acid to help your skin renew it's self.

If you have body acne then might I suggest the same regimen but a little tougher products? Also make sure your towels are always clean when you bathe or shower and that your clothes including your bra are always fresh and clean each time you wear them. Also wash your bedding every two days and alternate between headphones or use earbuds. One more suggestion is to either chunk foundation entirely or use just a loose powder with a large fluffy brush. You should soak your makeup tools in an alchohol and water solution once a week to kill bacteria.

The things that I have listed are the most common reasons for acne to occur and I hope that you'll take these steps towards healthier skin and I promise if you follow what I've outlined here you're problem will be solved. =d

What the skin needs is a product that clears pores and kills bacteria, thus preventing hair follicles from clogging and turning into acne. This is what you should be looking for if you want to get rid of those horrible acne.

Use engaging images here are some free/cheap sources http://www.sxc.hu/ http://morguefile.com/ http://www.freepixels.com/ assume Google image search results are copyrighted.

Add a couple of articles a week.

Purely technical traffic getting notes:

Learn SEO techniques for getting better search ranking and more visitors, use the Google Keyword Tool to identify relevant search phrases, incorporate them in select articles' meta title, header and body text to improve search ranking for that keyword.

Try to get one or two new links a day from other sites, hopefully some who are leaking their "link juice", blog comments have a tiny benefit, getting to know bigger bloggers and arranging to write guest posts with a backlink provides more powerful ranking benefits. Firefox browser is popular with SEO people, due to the number of plug ins available, like page rank displays and noFollow indicators, useful for identifying better sites to get links from.

Give your outgoing links the noFollow tag to prevent "link juice" from leaking from your site, this improves search engine ranking. (spot checked the Mens mag link, seemed to be do-follow)

I have HORRIBLE skin please answer:/?

Oh hello

Okay so I'm going to be 17 soon and just since the year that I turned 16 my skin has been HORRIBLE. People always think I'm so pretty but only because I wear alot of good qualty make up and usually only see people at night so there's always good lighting..But if they saw me during the day..with no make up on.. they wouldn't think I was so pretty then:| I have HUGE black heads..not just like 2 here and there..I mean all around my chin, all on my forehead, all on my cheeks, on my nose, and around my nose. I think it might be from using a gel cleanser but I'm not sure..there huge and gross especially in sun light, but there not really noticable after I put my make up on..Plus I have mild acne on my cheeks and forehead which is SO annoying..It's not bad with make up on but you know the texture thing its just gross and looks so bad with out makeup again..Plus I have sensitive skin or something I think because I have fair skin and it gets sooo red! like the creases around my nose is so red, and my cheeks get splotchy red. I have like 4 dark brown sun spots from this summer I never had before:| I have one on my temple that's really noticable, 2 little ones on my chin, and another one on my other temple that's a little lighter but I still notice it..I have 3 "indented" chicken pox scars from when I was like 5, two on my forhead and one by my hairline, like by my ear kinda. I just get up and look at myself everyday with no make up, and feel SO bad about myself. I always think why can't I just have normal skin like all the other girls my age..Plus I have a mole about the size of a pea on my forehead I think is totally gross..and pretty noticable veins and bags under my eyes. Most of the stuff I have is perminent I know which is why I feel so hopeless I think..I always think I wouldn't mind if I had *this if I just didn't have *this. like I wouldn't mind if I had pimples so much if I didn't have such reddness and blackheads or moles or whatever. I really want to get my mole removed, but my parents won't let me...Plus I have really dry skin. It gets like all flaky in the winter and I have to pick the flakes off, and then my skin gets EXTRA red for the next hour..I'm sick of feeling ugly:/ since my skin got bad and I have been wearing a little more make up to cover it people have been making comments about me "always having to look good" and they just act like I'm a super ficial shallow person or something which I'm really not... Just any expierence or any products you think could help would be much appreciated..

Obama ??????? what do you think?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 18 Jun 2014 17:00:00 -0700

Revolution

Some would now conclude that based on Barack Obama's lack of leadership skills and inability to to show signs of competency with what it takes-- that he has become the worst President in history in the shortest amount of time. Even with just 15 months in office the country has gone from bad to worse and all he can ever do and say is blame it on the last administration --meaning " George W. Bush" is this the character and good sign when he continually goes against the will of the people ? Especially with only 30% of nation wanting his idea of health-care reform . His performance has not been good if he were in the real world --He would have been fired after the first year on the job.
I love the attitude "way to go little buddy, you're doing your best 0bama." Too bad Bush didn't get that kind of support.

Answer
The war on White folk has begun on a large scale with poverty & tyranny as the result. Barack Obama continues to loot America with the same tyranny we fled from to create America in the first place.

Barack Obamaâs comments about, âhis animosity towards his motherâs white race,â are overshadowed by his close association with anti-White racist Louis Farrakhan, with anti-White pastor Jeremiah Wright, with self-described communist and anti-White racist Van Jones and with anti-White racist Louis Gates. âNot to mention his anti-white Supreme Court nominee and the trillion-dollar social programs that benefit minorities disproportionately.

We had created the most prosperous, peaceful, philanthropic and liberty-spreading society the world has ever known yet Barack Obama continues to burden the majority with the very socialist-Marxist doctrine we should be at war against.

White folk in the US could have sided with Germany in WWII. âYet America decided not only to include minorities into our society, but to give them temporary special privilege; within twenty years of the conclusion of the war we did just that by passing the âcivil rightsâ & âvoting rightsâ acts. âBut equality was not the goal of minorities including Barack Obama, domination and oppression of White folks is. Every social program Barack Obama endorses over-represents minorities as beneficiaries while the taxes raised to pay for them are disproportionately and unfairly paid for by White folks. ââObamaâs equalityâ never makes it to the realm of taxation, because equality is not the goal. When can White folk get a fair shake?

The fact is the source of Americaâs greatness is the liberty-based free-market society created by those rich, White, men we call our Founding Fathers. âWhose nation became such a success that all others flooded her, diluted her and now mere shadows of her former beauty remain hidden away in pockets of faded glory; waiting for a time once again when common-sense triumphs over political-correctness.

American Indiansâ animosity toward White folk started upon our first boat landing; when the entire first colony was massacred by the Indians. (Who had not yet invented the wheel?) Subsequent history proves that American Indians are not ânativeâ either, as DNA testing proves conclusively that they descent from the Island of Formosa. (Taiwan) Countless archaeological sites of former American Indian sites now prove cannibalism and child-sacrifice was indeed widespread throughout the Americas. The oldest known bones ever found in North America, were that of Kennewick Man, found along the banks of the Columbia River, the skull was that of a Caucasian, not the Mongoloid skull of Indian descendants from Taiwan. In fact the FIVE oldest sets of bones found in North America were that of caucasions!

Black animosity toward White folk is evident in the disproportional, Black-on-White, violent crime rate. White animosity toward Blacks started in Africa upon recognition of their brutal violence, cannibalism and willingness to barter their family members and fellow tribesmen. When Whites ran the farms of Zimbabwe, that country was a food exporter. When the Black activist, Mugabe butchered and/or deported the 7000+ White farmers upon coming to power, the population began to starve and now begs for food aid. âFrom guess who? (White folk) This is not isolated, when Whites ran Haiti it too was a food exporter supplying 40% of the worldâs sugar. Upon educating and freeing the Black slaves, the former slaves killed every last White person on the island. The Black population in Haiti now begs for food aid. âFrom guess who?

Blacks in America are the wealthiest Africans in the history of the world, yet even as a Black man sits in the White House, atop the RNC & NASA, Blacks still complain about racism and demand âspecial privilege.â -Once the âcivil rightsâ game was played-out, the pendulum kept on swinging. Now in Mississippiâs Black dominated areas, the White vote has been found to be systematically suppressed by the Black majority. Blacks in America care more about slavery 200 years ago in America than the slavery today in Africa, because of their âanimosityâ toward Whites; not because of their concern for fellow Blacks.

Hispanic animosity toward White folk is evident with the large La Raza (The Race) membership and their willingness to march waiving the Mexican flag in the United States. The abhorrent violence in Mexico and the complete willingness of the population there to not only accept it, but to embrace it and to flaunt it offends the sensibilities of Americans and makes White folks in America question how they plan on creating a peaceful society here? -After all, the areas in the US with high Hispanic/Latino populations are infested with gang activity and diseases long cured in America like leprosy.

The backlash against minority oppression and special privilege is starting to really resonate with t

South Africa?

Q. With the recent xenophobic attacks, the disgustingthings that Robert Mugabe has done to his peple in Zimbabwe (which isn't actually in SA) and all the things that have been hurting South Africa's reputation - the head of police committing acts of crime, the ANC president being in court several times on charges of rape and the health minister stealing! I just want to know what you people think of South Africa? Because so many of my friends dont want to live here anymore and some are even leaving, and I would just love to get the thoughts of others from around the world on what they think about South Africa. Be honest, and please dont critise me about this question, I'm just a kid interested in what other people think of my Country!

Answer
My daughter has lived in Jo-burg for the last three years and has a degree from Wits. Before I visited a few months ago I couldn't put her in context. I knew that the crime rate, AIDS infections, and number of rapes were astronomical, but it didn't have much meaning for me. Now, since I have visited and have seen the "security" with which people try to protect themselves, the beauty of the land, the warmth of the people, I fear for her at the same time I admire her determination to make a career for herself. Her boyfriend told us plainly that one of the reasons he doesn't want to marry her or have a family is that then if anything really bad happens she can freely leave.

When we were there a family was shot and killed at home at 6ish in the evening--broad daylight as it was March--in a suburb a number of miles north from where we were, a place considered "safe." Nothing was taken.

I pray for leadership and the combined pressure from the outside world to bring some sanity and stability to the political situation and economy. I will probably go back and visit this coming summer, but this forum has made me more cautious than I was on the earlier visit. Things are always changing.
