What skin care lotion is best for your skin?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

On my arms and my legs, I have places where I have very dry skin and I was wondering if anyone knew what skin care lotion product is best for your skin that you can get a supermart or drug store? I want brands of lotion please!

If you buy a product make sure it doesn’t have mineral oil as that forms a barrier with your skin and since skin is a respiratory organ it needs to breath. For skin to retain moisture and not be dry it need to be able to absorb the moisture and retain it. I find it best to apply a good moisturizing cream immediately after I shower as this helps the skin to retain the moisture after being wet. Make sure the product you buy has the same PH balance as our skin which is PH5.5 as this helps the natural balance of our skin, and will help to reduce irritation and dryness.

Arbonne have some wonderful botanical products that combat dryness my son has terrible dry skin and feet and their product have had amazing results. However you need to have a consultant to purchase any products on-line.

Check out www.Arbonne.com if you need help purchasing click on consultants Linda Sackett and send me a message I’ll be happy to help you.

What is the best skin care medication for acne while pregnant?

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

I’ve never broke out this much for so long and not been able to get rid of it in my life!!! Now all of a sudden the skin care product I’ve always used isn’t working. Any suggestions?
Also, I heard on the radio yesterday also that proactive is great and although it definitely works its very expensive and there is other products that contain the same ingredients, oxy something, but forgot what she said so don’t know what to look for.

Just a little information…
Proactiv contains the ingredient benzoyl peroxide; however, you’re not supposed to use stuff with benzoyl peroxide in it while you are pregnant.
I know that Wal-Mart and Walgreens carry other cheaper brands that are knock-offs of the Proactiv solution, but most of them contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is also on the list of things to avoid in a face wash when you’re pregnant!
A friend of mine was breaking out really bad while she was pregnant with her daughter; she asked her doctor about it and he prescribed her something (sorry, I don’t know the name of it).
Basically, if you can’t find anything that works for you, ask your doctor at your next visit!
Hope this helps!

24k Gold Facial – (At Home Skin Care)

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Read All:

This video is intended to show my use of the 24k solid Gold Facial. While spas sell a similar facial for up to $500, I prefer to just do it at home myself (and recommend that you do too). :D Once you equip yourself with knowledge, there is no reason to pay someone else…plus you can customize the treatment to your own liking.

You can easily buy the gold to apply from a variety of sources online (I bought this gold from a reputable seller on eBay). The gold comes in small, thin strips. (about 1.5″ x 1.5″ each)…and I believe it is sold in a pack of 30.

Thanks so much for checking out this video!! Please Subscribe for more!

What is the best skin care products for oily skin?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

I’m about to go to the store and I want to know what skin care products work best for oily skin.
Around my mouth my skin is very dry, though, so if you know of a good moisturizer that would be great too.

Ok… I know it sounds weird… but here is my routine…

I went out and bought a cleanser that advertises that it "fights oil." I find that alot of products advertise that they "won’t dry you out" and "get rid of dead skin." But I guess oily skin isn’t that common, because I need some SERIOUS help. Fortunately, I don’t get too many breakouts or blemishes, I get so shiny during the day, that I can wipe my fingers across my forehead, and my fingers will be shiny! I’ve recently been doing something odd though… but it seems to be working,

At night before bed, I just use the cleanser that I bought (I buy a different one every time, to see which one I like – but my favorite so far is Biore’s "ICE CLEANSER" or "shine control" – they’re in green bottles with a pump on the top). I get dry around the mouth and corners of my nose too – I just rub some moisturizer ON THOSE AREAS. Moisturizer tends to make me even more oily, and I have read online many times, that it’s best to only use a minimal amount, on areas that NEED it. I’ve been experimenting with an uncommon product lately though. Toothpaste. Just dab it on any blemishes you may have.

BUT in the daytime, like when getting ready for work (just ONCE a day)… I wash my face with toothpaste… I know, I can picture your face. It’s weird. But I suggest that you try it at least once. Just rub it on, avoiding your eyes, and try to build up a lather. Then, without water, use a small amount of your face soap and wash it off. Rinse. It is the coolest feeling ever. It makes your skin feel GREAT. Don’t do it too often though, because it can dry you out too much. But seriously, even if you don’t pick this as best answer TRY IT TRY IT TRY IT. It’s awesome.

I’ve had oily skin forever. And nothing helps me. Even things like toners and astringent seem to make it worse, and I dunno why! Lemme know if it works for you too! :)

As for makeup – powder is great to eliminate shine. Also, if when you go into a bathroom, check yourself in a mirror – if you see shine building up, simply press a paper towel up to your face. LOOK AT IT. It absorbs the oil right off of your skin. This works wonders.
