Does anyone know if this skin cream will work?
It will work but I DO NOT recommend facial hair removal, it usually just gets worse, either by growing longer or turning black, and you don't want that!! Just leave it be, it's probably not as bad as you think.
Reply:I use a thing made from olives, it works pretty good for me.


Has anyone used Fair & Loverly skin cream...? How safe is it?

yeah i've used them. its just made by Unilever. they also make ponds and dove. its all the same to me


Is there an anti aging skin cream for men? (My "friend" was wondering...?

Captain Knucklehead you really need to find some sort of CREAM to apply topically to your skull! When it seeps in that will be the first substance present inside for your life time!I am not so sure a miracle with cream can help this old timer! He is in Zombonnyland!

Is there an anti aging skin cream for men? (My "friend" was wondering...?
I think that both Nivea and L'Oreal have come out with quite an extensive range of mens skin products. They should be available at most of your chemists. If not, I don't see why you can't use the womens' ones. After all, we all end up with same type of wrinkles don't we?
Reply:biotherm, clarins, shiseido carry men's skin care now





try SK-II, it doesnt carry men's skin care, but you can ask the salesperson whether it's suitable for men


it's quite pricey, but it works a miracle for older people =)
Reply:Well at least you didn't blame this on Clinton..... yet.


If a 2-ounce skin cream contains 200,000 I.U. of Vitamin A, what percentage would that be ?

There's not really an accurate answer you could get (aside from calling the company to see if they list a percentage), primarily because IU is a measurement of potency, not weight or volume (which creams are measured in, like Ounces).


One thing I can say is that if the 2 ounce container has 200,000 IU, that means that every 1/8th teaspoon (which is a typical dose for many creams) would only have about 2,000 IU, which is about 40% of the RDA (which is the recommended daily minimum for basic health), and only 20% of the normal dose of Vitamin A. That's a pretty low amount unless you're taking a multivitamin as well or have a good source of Vitamin A in your diet.

What is the best skin cream to prevent wrinkles on the face? Oil free?

Any oil free sunscreen - SPF 15 for days spent mostly indoors, SPF 30 if you are spending the day walking around outside frequently.





Brands to consider: Neutrogena, Aveeno

What is the best skin cream to prevent wrinkles on the face? Oil free?
You need an oil for your face. Its a huge misconception that oil gives you acne. without it your skin is dry and contributes to wrinkles. the only oil that actually clogs your pores in mineral oil (which is found in most commercial products out there) try a jojoba oil (amazing) because it closely resembles our healthy skin, it doens't cause acne and its firming as well. and it gives you a nice glow. (not greasy..you should have to massage it in) you can also combine 2 drops of frankincesne oil into it as this oil smooths out wrinkles.
Reply:try mary kay time wise. it works greats.

Reply:i suggest you use herb creams. it might help or you can use coco-butter cream. maybe it is because the creams you use are not natural they might be artificial. so try my suggestion and cream every day every time you finish bathe make sure and cream and your skin will turn out beautifull.

Your vet may have a recommendation for a topical cream, often hairless cats have skin problems so there are sure to be products designed for them. Another alternative is to use a gentle oatmeal schampoo when bathing your kitty. Adding fish oil supplements to her diet is another way to get her skin back in condition.

Slow down in your pace of life


Relax a lot ....





Have cold ordinary water baths with out heating





give cold water bath to ur face freequently





Do not get frustated with family -relationsip problems -accept them as part of life and dont take it to heart





These will defenetly reduce a LOT of ur wrinkles
Reply:believe it or not, HONEY is a great wrinkle remover, and its cheap and readily available. just smear it on your face and leave it for as long as possible (but 5-10mins a day will do). then rinse off with tepid water mixed with a teaspoon of cider vinegar - this has a neutral pH and will act as a toner. try it!! it won't happen overnight but it will happen!
Reply:There's the "Ponds age miracle"cream.If you really don't wanna spend your money then take the "7 day challenge".


I have seen a lot of people using those.


It really really dose well.
Reply:There are so many products out there. It all depends with the brand name that you trust and used. Most of cosmetic brands have anti wrinkle products. Keep in mind, that all of 'em can only reduce wrinkle but would not makes them disappear. But the earliest the better to use 'em, to prevent more lines and wrinkles on the face.
Reply:pick one, you have all these wrinkle commercials that come on television everyday so turn on your television and pay attention!!!! try neutrogena product.
Reply:One testing concern - I think it may have been "Which" ran tests on all the popular available skin care products and the conclusion was that the only one which really worked was in the Boots No.7 Range; it may be a serum.


Just call in a branch of Boots and ask.


I'm afraid that you'll have to accept that increasing age brings increasing knowledge, wisdom and wrinkles.
Reply:Be gentle with your skin and it will go a long way in keeping it smooth and supple. Gently massage the face with glycerin-honey mixture. Dip a cotton pad in unbeaten egg white, and smooth it across wrinkles. Leave it on for an hour and remove it with a cotton dipped in ice-cold water.

Reply:buy it online ebay or something.
Reply:Here in the US, mederma is kept in the pharmacy. I bought mine at a grocery store pharmacy. I am using it for stretch marks and I haven't seen huge results yet but if you read the directions, you need to apply the cream 3-4 times a day. I only apply it 2 times a day, if that because I have a 3 month old and lots more to deal with.





Try the pharmacy..Good Luck!





Another thing that really helps with stretch marks is pure vitamin E oil.
Reply:You can get it at any pharmacy or pharmacy section of a store. I bought it and it doesn't work. My father in law is chief of plastic surgery and even he says it doesn't work.





To avoid stretch marks eat lots of blueberries and rub Vitamin E on your skin. Once you have them they do their own thing.
Reply:Save your money, buy Vit e gel caps open them and rub, drink lots of water 4 - 6 liters a day. This will hydrate the skin and the marks will fade some, but they never go away unless you laser them or have surgery to cut them away ( like a tummy tuck)

Anyone know anything about the medicine called Silver sulfadiazine cream for skin?

I have some bug bites and rash on my skin that is constantly itching. I have some cream for burns, so I was wondering if it helped a burn on the skin, that it may help my rash and bites? Does anyone know? Thanx

Anyone know anything about the medicine called Silver sulfadiazine cream for skin?
Silver sulfadiazine, a sulfa drug, is used to prevent and treat infections of second- and third-degree burns. It kills a wide variety of bacteria.





This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Reply:No, it's just for burns to prevent infection, I wouldn't use it on a rash or bites. Try using calamine lotion or cortizone cream, they both work well and can be bought at any drugstore. Good luck!
Reply:it's an antibiotic cream for rashes or open wound
Reply:I have used silver sulfadiazine for sunburn before and it works great on that. It is used for treating a bacterial infection in a burn. While doctors can prescribe this for other uses, I would not recommend using it for an itch or rash until you have talked with your doctor to determine what is causing the rash. Silver Sulfadiazine can be used only against bacteria, not viral infections. Also, the common side effects are hives; itching; rash; redness; skin discoloration... therefore it may not be useful in treating itching skin, unless the itch is caused by a bacteria.
Reply:It is a potent cream to treat infected wounds and is not to be used for something like bites.You see,this cream is NOT to be applied to a healthy skin.For example,if you have an infected,not healing sore,you would apply the cream to the wound bed only and you would make sure you do not go over the edges of the sore in order to stay away from the healthy skin tissue...The best bet?See a Dermatologist(if you have an insurance coverage) for your rashes.It could be something that needs his attention...If you can not afford a doctor,go to a pharmacy and ask the Pharmacist(not the pharm tech) for help.
Reply:Silver Sulfadiazine is an antibiotic burn cream. It is used to prevent or treat serious infection from burns. I would not use it for bug bites.





For bug bites; scrub the bite well with soap and water, let it dry, then rub hydrocortisone cream into the bite. Put another dab of hydrocortisone right on top, and then cover it with a band-aid.





For heat rash; baby diaper cream works well.





If either are severe then you might need to go to the doctor...

Cocoa butter and liquid vitamin E oil are good preventative measures. I like both. I'm not sure about after you get the marks though. If you keep your skin moisturized with vit. E or Cocoa butter you should be fine. Good luck!

Skin cream for men?

can anybody recommend a good face moisturiser for men?

Skin cream for men?
Our faces (men and women) are made of the same oils, cells, etc, so men can use the same products that women use. The only reason brands have a "mens range" is for marketing purposes - men would prefer to buy a black or blue bottle of face wash rather than a pink or cream one.





Just make sure he is using the right wash/moisturiser for his skin type - same as the ladies do! If it's oily skin, or dry, you have to buy the products specialised for oily, or dry skin, otherwise you are doing more damage than good.

Reply:the only products you should use to avoid being a metrosexual, or gay wannabe, is soap (unperfumed), deodorant (a manly one, like schick), shaving cream,(preferably barbasol), and a good after shave, full of alcohol (like aqua velva). use anything else at your own risk. if you really need your face moisturized, use some bacon fat!
Reply:there is no such thing. only bad, bad , bad ones.

Reply:Hi, I can recommend a product my husband has been using for the past 4 months and really likes. It is from a company called Arbonne and it is their NutriMenC Line. They have a complete set, but you can buy the items separately. They have a SPF8 Moisturizer in the line. Since my husband has been using these products he doesn't get ingrown hairs anymore and his neck doesn't itch all the time. You can view it in their online catalog at http://www.wonderful.myarbonne.com
Reply:There is a Simple range that you can get from Boots. It's fragrance free and good value for money.





Body Shop do a good mens range (and they will give you little samples for free to see if you like it.) Prices are a little more than the Simple range though.





All the bigger brand names like Clinique - you're paying for the name and lots of anti aging chemicals, making them significantly more expensive.
Reply:My ex husband is currently swearing by the new range for men in NEXT. but the Nivea range is top banana too, he used to use that before he became Next obsessed
Reply:Try Natique, it`s good for men.
Reply:nivea, nivea and more nivea. it makes ya face feel so smooth
Reply:Elemis do a great kit on QVC for men, with shaving products also contained.
Reply:Hi - my hubby uses the L'Oreal for Men range, very good stuff. Its in a grey and orange bottle.


Skin cream for men, whats the difference from say cheaper Nivea To more expensive stuff like lab series etc?

other than the price, are they the same?

Skin cream for men, whats the difference from say cheaper Nivea To more expensive stuff like lab series etc?
If you are talking about less expensive products v. more expensive and famous brands, I think it all depends on what product we are talking about. Nivea is a great brand and has been around for ages. My grandma at the age of 97 had a spotless skin and she used Nivea all of her life. For Men's skincare, I suggest Loreal or Philosophy-
Reply:real men dont use skin cream, dont be such a girl !
Reply:nothing mate. nivea will do just as good as all those over-priced ones. nick your wife`s if you can!
Reply:I'd imagine its the same for women's creams, some claim to reduce wrinkles more, stop the signs of ageing, or protect the skin from the sun etc. Most of which is not true, but they do help.





But its all down to personal choice, choose different products until you find the one that suits you best, and that my not necessarily be the most expensive.
Reply:same products but you are paying for a brand name
Reply:Generally the more expensive creams work better, but not that much better, maybe 20 % maximum. If they were only costing 20 % more I would buy them , but it's more like 250 % more ! Men literally have thicker skin than women so it matters less what you use. I find nutrimetics good, but a little dear. Just keep trying till you find a cheaper one you like, and visit the Vogue skin care forum for advice, it's really good.
Reply:clarins do a very good mens cosmetics selection and so does molton brown - the quality of the ingredients in the more expensive products is better.

Dermadoctor KP Duty Skin Cream for chicken skin, does the cream really work? Has anyone tried it?

I have, it woks pretty well but you have to use it a lot, it smells kinda weird, and the results are very gradual (I didn't really notice a difference, but after about three months someone said that my skin was smoother). I also found that it seems to come back after you've stopped using it.

Does any1 know a good facial cream fordry skin?

Does any one know any type of cream or skin injection for scars that quickly heals scars?

Well last year 2007 on December6, I was bitten on my face by my dog on the right side of my face a little bit below my eye near my nose(right side). Since then I've been using Fred Summit's Ultra Blend%26amp;Tone cream. Instead of it blending my scar in with my skin tone it lighten up around my cheek. I have been also using Walgreens Scar Gel it haven't really been working. And I plan to go out of town on March20. But before I go I want this scar off of my face. So my question is does any one know any type of cream or anything that can quickly heal my scar? I do plan to go to the Dermatologist but I haven't scheduled a appointment yet. And or does anyone know any skin injection for scars? Well if you do please let me know.

Does any one know any type of cream or skin injection for scars that quickly heals scars?
my derm told me to use Mederma . that stuff is kind of expensive, but works wonders.
Reply:Mederma works fine. Its pricey but worked. I used it for some bug bites that scarre me and it worked...took about 2 months. I don't think anything will work in weeks (unless its drastic)
Reply:some things that might help as far as i know might include green tea, vitamin c, vitamin e, vitamin a, aloe vera, and honey.both taking these internally and applying topically can help.other than that i'm sorry but i don't really know what to tell you except to take care of yourself as naturally and healthy as possible and good luck.i don't know a whole lot about the healing properties of papaya but i have tried it, both eating it and applying as a mask, for my acne scars and pimples and it did a lot of good for my skin.it's a seasonal fruit though so it's hard to find except for in the spring and part of the summer i think.um i don't really know of what else to recommend but a little research can do a lot of good.


Who knows any skin cream that could help my skin?afro skin?

this is for afro skinned person

Who knows any skin cream that could help my skin?afro skin?
cocoa butter


shea butter


almond oil
Reply:Is Afro skin care different from white skin care? I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil and coconut oil and my skin glows! No lines and moisturized better then when I used store bought skin care. I recommend it for Afro and white skin. I was afraid it would give me an oily face but instead, my skin drinks it in. I use the EVOO first and then a touch of coconut oil. Been doing this for months now and even my Hubby noticed a difference. Now he uses it too!


Try it! You'll be pleasantly surprised!
Reply:Black or white skin - it doesn't matter. It's more important if it's oily, dry, normal, mature. Do you have pimples, black heads or blemishes? Use only professional facial products. http://www.skin-care-products-usa.com./i...

Does chocolate ice cream darken skin?

if i eat lots of chocolate ice cream, will my skin get darker?

Does chocolate ice cream darken skin?
If it did, I'd be as brown as a Hershey's bar.
Reply:uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


NO.
Reply:Nope, but you might get a sugar imbalance or gain a lot of weight from eating too much.
Reply:NO
Reply:Nope :-(





I could use a nice tan about now though.. and I DO eat lots of chocolate..





Chocolate's my favorite sweet b/c it's got like the perfect taste.. white, milk, dark, it doesn't really matter.. they're all addictive :(
Reply:Yes, due to recent surveys, chocolate ice cream will make your tone slightly darker. For instance, I have a friend who used to eat a lot of chocolate flavored ice cream. Now he has a very dark skin tone.
Reply:i guess not!
Reply:No. Your skin will darken based on the melatonin in it. If you have low melatonin levels, your skin will never get dark. This is why some people burn so easily. The only way to attempt to darken your skin is to tan, either by laying out in the sun or going to a tanning booth, or using that tanning lotion, which people will know its fake.
Reply:NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Hmmm... interesting question.





One things for sure, and that is if you eat lots of chocolate ice cream you will gain weight.





But to answer your question, you'd have to really eat A LOT to find out, and I just think it's not worth the hassle. If you want to get darker just buy some brown paint from Home Depot and paint yourself brown. Go for it.
Reply:not unless you take the ice cream and rub it all over your skin. then youd be dark and sticky....and that would be a waste of ice cream.
Reply:You have to smear it all over yourself and then go out in the sun for at least an hour.
Reply:NOPE


Vitamin e cream improve skin?

does vitamin e cream improve the look of your face...i hear its makes your face glow and/or look healthy n have a good complexion n is very good for your skin also...is this true...and/or is there any other products that helps

Vitamin e cream improve skin?
Definitely, vitamin E is a perfect moisturizer. In fact, people even use it to heal scars- that proves how powerful it is and its extraordinary healing abilities..
Reply:I was eating a kabab on an iron skwer, as you do, and i burnt the side of my face. i had this long mark for ages until i started puting vitamin e cream over it everyday. eventually the mark faded and now its gone.





So if it can heal burn marks then im sure it will make your skin glow and make your complexion better.
Reply:yes yes yes it is the most amazing thing EVER! I use palmer's cocoa butter moisturiser which has vitamin e in it, and it tones the skin, makes it glow, softens it, smells so yummy and is just generally amazing. My mum used vitamin e on her stretchmarks and it smoothed them all away, and my friend who used to have really bad spots bought vitamin e capsules from the health store, then put a hole in them with a pin and smeared the oil on her face, and now there are no marks at all on her face! It is really worth investing.
Reply:Yes, it really works.
Reply:It's very true. Vitamin E works best when taken in as well. Vitamin E 400 IU, once a day. Using Vitamin E cream also works well on the outside. Apply cream on a freshly cleaned and toned face, in upward directions. You can also try skin products that contain Vitamin E. Check the ingredients to be sure.
Reply:yes..it really can improve your skin complexion,heel scar and make skin smooth..worth a try..
Reply:Vitamin E is great for the body and great for your skin. The numerous benefits of vitamin E for your skin include: antioxidant to prevent fine lines and wrinkles, sun burn treatment, treatment of some skin diseases such as psoriasis, fading of stretch marks, reducing the appearance of scars (this one is a little more controversial), and many more.
Reply:Yes, any sort of vitamin helps your skin. If you are ageing, I reccomand using creams with Q10 in them. If you just want a healthy/natural glow, them use a daily cleanser like Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, NIVEA, Swiss. What people often get break outs from is eating food containing peanut, chocolate, coco butter, greasy foods. Eat vegetables and fruits, yougurt....etc. Hope this helps.!
Reply:Yup it does it really works well


Is that true that steroid cream caused skin discoloration?

I notice my butt skin color has changed to darker color as I had a problem with itchiness/ hives when last trimester pregnancy and my gynecologist gave me steroid cream repeatedly and didn't tell me that actually steroid cream only can be used a couple of time so I used it very often like 2 weeks whenever the itchiness started. I thought the discoloration was caused by pigmentation of pregnancy and will go away soon after I delivered my baby but until now about 13 months after my baby was born it's still there ..if it's true that it caused by steroid cream will it stay there forever? or is there any cream that can make my skin lighter again?

Is that true that steroid cream caused skin discoloration?
yes!
Reply:Yes it is very likely that the cream has stained your skin. I would get a good Apricot scrub and gently exfoliate with a loofah sponge.


....can one can use both, a sunblock cream and a skin lightening cream together.........?

...can one can use two different creams to improve complexion i.e(sunblock nd skin lightining).??

Best Skin Lightening Cream for black People?
You can try this cream: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000XP8GW6?smid...





I used to use this cream on my face a few years ago. It worked great for lightening my face. The only bad thing about it was that it needs to be applied evenly or else it becomes slightly noticeable on the areas you have not applied the cream to. I used it mostly to get rid of dark spots/acne marks on my face but it ended up lightening up my whole face. Make sure to read the ingredients too because my cousin was allergic to it and once she put the cream on, it got really itchy and she had to wash it off. But good luck!
Reply:i've also maintained my original light skin tone with the use of skin lightening products.. success in skin lightening does not rely on products alone.. here's a helpful guide -

I've tried a series of toning creams for a dark patch that I have on the side of my face but no satisfactory results yet.Can anyone tell me of any skin toning creams for dark skinned women I could use for my face. Anything that could even my skin tone without any adverse effects.

You may have to live with it.


I don't think it can be permanently removed.


Try a cover up makeup that blends your skin tone.





This may help: treat night by patting on one part lemon juice one part water to the area.
Reply:Dream Matte Mousse by Cover girl is the best foundation Ive ever used!! It has has many shades and looks great on everybody, it will also cover up and moustrize
Reply:that nuetrogena stuff for your face, its really awesome!! and inexpensive, i personally use both and recommend you use both the visibly even night concentrate and skin polishing enzyme treatment both can be found at rite aid.
