use anything with ';benzoyl peroxide'; its a peeling agent that gets rid of pimples, blackheads and zits and it kills the bacteria that causes pimples
it comes in 2.5%, 5% and 10% dont use the 10 cuz skin will peel to much the best is 5%
i just got it from my doctor this prescription with 5% BP its been 1 week and all my pimples are gone!!!!
im 20yrs old and i never got pimples till 2 weeks ago i freaked out and the doctor gave me this and it works
Also, try ';Clean n Clear Persa-Gel 5'; its awesome its got 5% BP so you dont have to go to the doctor and get a prescription lotion its sold in shoppers drug mart (i got it for $6.99)
Wash your face with dove sensitive skin soap, and then pat your face dry then put on ';Clean n Clear Persa-Gel 5';, after it dries up on your face, it will make your face dry so use LOTS of face lotion (dove day lotion) if you have to go out somewhere, other wise leave your face dry because pimples grow in moist, oily environments thats what my doctor said
Also, you can try Neutrogena On the Spot its got 5% BP in it.Is going for a facial Ca make my face clear?I have lots of acne and blemishes?
I use papaya kojic and licorice base soap and cream which are
available online. These work wonders.
Maybe it will work on you too.
Try searching it through Google 'shopaholic's bargains'Is going for a facial Ca make my face clear?I have lots of acne and blemishes?
Facials tend to disrupt the skin and make it irritated. I use this brand called Dermologica. and its worked wonders for me! The over the counter stuff for skin really dries the skin out. If you have to use drug store stuff the best Ive found is Neutrogena Stres-Relief cleanser and neutrogena on the spot treatment. But if you have some money then I suggest trying clinique or lancome

Can facial cleansers bleach your face?
I've noticed that when I tan my whole body can get a nice tan, but my face only gets red and then the next day returns to pale white. Could it be the cleansers I'm using since this has only happened in that past few summers that I have been using cleansers.Can facial cleansers bleach your face?
My face is exactly the same.
Notice some cleansers say keep away from eyebrows and hairline?
Well on some they also contain bleach, so yea.
I have a tanned body and a white face, I'm trying to only use soap and water to clean my face atm, as my foundations never match.

What can i do to remove hair off my face?does anyone know of a cream that will gradually reduce facial hair?
so im a 20 year old girl with a hairy face, lol, okay i have peach fuzz, u know? and i have side burn. its really not that bad from far away but i have a problem...
i cant wax because it will break me out, does anyone know of a cream that will gradually reduce facial hair?What can i do to remove hair off my face?does anyone know of a cream that will gradually reduce facial hair?
I would suggest you to use '; MySpring It'; - facial hair removing tool. Its just like threading but you can do it yourself. Its actually a spring bar that removes your facial hair from its roots without damaging your skin. Moreover its cheap (just around 15 bucks), reusable (up to 6 months) and portable. I give it thumbs up!
PS: If you want to remove your facial hair permanently then you have to go for laser treatments, but they are way expensive!What can i do to remove hair off my face?does anyone know of a cream that will gradually reduce facial hair?
Wax then Exfoliate .
or ...
Leg hair remover foam.
It bleaches hairs , then they fall off .
Allthough i dont think you should use that on your face , You'll prob. end up looking like michael jackson..
I know how you feel, it sucks having dark hair doesn't it? For the peach fuzz you can use any type of upper lip hair removal cream for women, it only takes about 5 minutes and takes off all the hair, some don't even have that much of a smell, also as they start to grow back you can pluck them. If you don't want to remove it you can get special bleaching creams for it as well and it just turns the hair really light and blonde, then they're hardly noticeable. I'm not sure about the hair on the side of your face, maybe you could try hair removal cream or the bleaching cream on them too, or just go out and sit in the sun for a while, haha! :)
Hope I helped, being a 'dark haired beauty' isn't all it's cracked up to be, not saying i'm a beauty or anything, haha. Hope you get it sorted, I'm still in school and I know I hate getting teased about it!! :)

Is there anyway a person can make their facial hair grow thicker and faster all over the face?
Yes, oddly enough if you shave more often it will grow back faster and thicker.
My husband winges coz i make him shave daily, and it now rows thicker and faster so he shaves in the morning and by that eve he needs to shave again lol.
If you shave once a day to start with you'll see a difference - but you can't control where it grows, you can only trim it where it does grow if you dont want it there. :)Is there anyway a person can make their facial hair grow thicker and faster all over the face?
You mean like a werewolf? Yes, drink a pint of ox piss every morning before breakfast.Is there anyway a person can make their facial hair grow thicker and faster all over the face?
yes, Retin A causes hair to grow. I think they've only just discovered this. It is medical cream for acne, which they have found also erases wrinkles after continued use. Now they have found it also makes hair grow.

well as far as i think almond oil isn't be used in cooking so u can going on use it even if it is a cooking oil cauz any cooking oil like coconut oil,mustard oil,olive oil etc could be used on skin as well.however the brand u've mentioned in ur question i dont know it's quality but if u really want to buy a genuine almond oil go for Dabur's Rogan Baadam Shirin this is the best available in market.Can I use cooking Almond oil for facial use as if like in facepacks or directly at face?
I am thinking that you should not....if the oil is indicated for cooking it probably is not free from bacteria and you should only use products that are pharmacutical grade not food grade...cosmetic grapeseed oil is great for skin...

I was wonder whats a good facial moisturizing cream cause my face gets very tight and dry?
every time I get out of the shower I need one that doesn't cause my face to get dryer and wont cause zits for a guy if that is relevant
Thanks for the help.I was wonder whats a good facial moisturizing cream cause my face gets very tight and dry?
It's a real jungle out there when it comes to choosing a good moisturizer for your face. I suggest you start by experimenting with a couple of different creams to determine which one is best for your skin type and provides the kind of results you're looking for. Below are some tips that will help narrow down your search and put your best face forward.
As a rule of thumb, the richer the cream is in terms of concentration and texture, the better it is for your skin. Unfortunately, it also means that it might be a little greasier, harder to apply, and probably less aesthetically pleasing. But as you can imagine, there has been a lot of progress in this area and you can now find creams that are easy to apply and non-greasy, yet extremely potent... but they will cost you.
ingredients to look for
A good facial cream should be rich in essential fatty acids and oils, vitamins and minerals, nutrients, botanical extracts, and antioxidants (help prevent skin damage caused by the sun, pollutants, and other harmful environmental elements). Below are some ingredients you should look for when shopping for facial moisturizers.
Shea butter: Shea butter is used for its rich texture and strong hydrating properties. It is known as a particularly good moisturizer because it penetrates the skin quickly, leaving it feeling smooth and with no oily residue.
Glycerin: Glycerin is present in all natural and synthetically manufactured fats. It is used in moisturizers because it seems to attract and retain the right amount of water in order to maintain balance in the skin.
Silicone: Silicone is a slippery, water-binding agent used in some lotions and creams to offer long-lasting protection. But be careful with this one because creams that contain too much silicone can leave your face looking greasy.
Green tea: Green tea is an excellent source of antioxidants, and along with grape seed extracts, has become a very popular cosmetic ingredient.
More important ingredients, what to avoid at all costs, and the best way to apply moisturizer to your face...
Omegas: Omegas help moisturize the skin at exceptional levels. They are fatty acids that help replenish and maintain the skin's optimal moisture balance, not to mention help fight signs of aging.
Aloe: There are over 240 different types of aloe but only four that are recognized as having nutritional value -- aloe vera being one of the most popular. Basically, aloe will provide your skin with essential nutrients such as minerals, amino acids and vitamins. It is a potent moisturizing agent that helps regenerate and heal skin.
Carrot extract (Daucus carota): Carrot extract, also known as Daucus carota, is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, and E -- all essential ingredients to keeping your skin healthy. It also contains carotene, ethereal oils, sugar, and pectic substances, which help prevent moisture loss.
Jojoba oil: Jojoba oil is another ingredient that will help your skin retain its moisture by reinforcing the dry skin's hydrolipidic film.
more key ingredients
Other ingredients that you should keep an eye out for include sunflower seed oil (Helianthus annuus), sweet almond oil (Prunus dulcis), coconut oil (Cocos nucifera), alfa tocopherol (vitamin E), cocoa butter (Theobroma cacao), orange blossom oil (Citrus aurantium), rice bran oil (Oryza sativa), lanolin oil, xanthan gum, lecithin, bio melanin, eucalyptus citriodora oil, and riboflavin (vitamin B2).
WHAT TO AVOID:
As a general rule, you should try to avoid facial creams that contain mineral oils, which are petroleum-based, because they might leave a greasy film on your skin and clog your pores as a result. Also, try to avoid products that contain SD alcohol and formaldehyde because they will dry up your skin instead of moisturizing it.
Keep in mind that you should consult a dermatologist before using any creams that aren't clearly hypoallergenic, especially if your skin is sensitive or acne prone. For example, creams that contain lanolin -- a wax derivative of sheep's wool -- can cause allergic reactions and are comedogenic (tending to aggravate or cause acne).
Throughout the winter months, you should keep the use of exfoliating products to a minimum (once a week) because they can suck the moisture from your skin. If you tend to have dry skin, especially during winter, you should also try to minimize your shower time and use lukewarm water.
In addition, try to avoid heavily scented creams as well as those that contain too many preservatives because they are more likely to cause allergic reactions. Examples of preservatives include propylene glycol, parabens, sodium lauryl, sulfate, and sodium benzoate.
For optimal results, opt for moisturizers that are non-comedogenic, dermatology tested, fragrance-free, and preservative-free.
application steps
Now that you have a clearer picture of the ingredients to look for in a facial cream, here are some tips on how to apply it properly.
OI was wonder whats a good facial moisturizing cream cause my face gets very tight and dry?
burts bees honey and milk body lotion. i know it sounds girly, but it is all natural, lasts long, not oily, and it won't make you break out at all. you can buy it at albertsons or walgreens.
Don't use soap
Use a moisterizing face wash.
I love Garnier moisterizers. $13-$16
nivea is the best moisturizing cream
it works very well and it is cheap
my husband uses clinique face cleanser (for gentle skin) and moisturizer... it works great for him, makes his skin really soft, and not dry at all.
