Happy Hand Exfoliant
Say good-bye to dry, cracked hands. Even if your gloves haven’t been doing their job this winter, this easy-to-make exfoliant will slough off all those dead skin cells. Plus, it cleanses and moisturizes, leaving hands soft and smooth.
Ingredients:
• 1 ounce ground almonds
• 1 teaspoon clear honey
• 2 teaspoons walnut or sunflower oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together into a thick paste.

2. Rub a heaping teaspoon all over the hands for two to three minutes and rinse off. Use whenever your hands need some extra TLC.
Peach-and-Honey Mask
This revitalizing peach and honey mask is almost good enough to eat. But what you’ll really love about it is how it leaves your skin feeling soft and supple.
Ingredients:
• 1 large peach or nectarine, skinned
• 3 teaspoons honey
• A pinch of lecithin powder or 2 tablespoons yogurt

Directions:
Mash the peach and honey together, add a little lecithin powder or 2 tablespoons yogurt until you have a workable paste. Pat evenly over your face and neck and around the eyes. Lie back and relax for about 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, pat dry, then tone and moisturize as you normally would.
Apple-Pectin Toner
Apples have been used in beauty products for centuries. And thanks to a high concentration of vitamins A and C and potassium, when applied as a facial toner, apple pectin can sooth and refresh all skin types. Please note: If you have especially dry or sensitive skin, reduce the amount of witch hazel in the toner.
Ingredients:
• 1 apple, cut up with peel, seeds removed
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup witch hazel

Directions:
1. Place the cut-up apple in a small saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat.

2. Allow the mixture to cool completely, then strain out the apple chunks. Stir in the witch hazel and pour into a clean container.

3. To use, spray or apply to skin using a clean cotton ball.

skin care products from body shop?

I been browsing through some skin care products from body shop
(such as facial cleansers and facial lotion).

Have you ever used any and are they worth the price?
thanks in advance.

Ive used the Seaweed line for combination skin is really good
for oily skin leaves this matte finish the sea weed face lotion is really good
and the cleanser leaves the skin very clean and oily free.

after swimming facial skin care?

I swim 3 times a week, but i don’t know how to take care of my skin after swimming to make it feel less dry and to get fewer breakouts. I am a no-fuss no-muss kinda girl, so the easier the routine the more likely i am to try it. Right now, in my post-swim shower I was my face with a mild cleanser. Can anyone tell me something simple I can do to help my skin after swimming, without making it feel oily?

the chlorine should be cleaning your skin if your in a pool and it should kill the bacteria, so maybe you should try washing it less after you swim? if you over wash, you will just be drying out your skin. I always get oily skin whenever i try to get rid of dry skin with creams. I’m no expert but i would try not washing it as much.

How do I get rid of bags under my eyes or stress wrinkles and other facial things?

Praise be to the Invisible Pink Unicorn

i have darkish purpley circles under my eyes and guys think its hot lol

Body shop skin care.HELP!?

the skin care that i’m use is good.I guess.
but can i combined skin care product?
how long does body shop skin care works??i mean we can see the difference in how many weeks?or months?or year?

the Tea tree oil face lit is really good for pimples and whiteheads
also seaweed line is good for very oily skin it makes skin less oily.

how do i convince my 20 years old sister that she doesn’t need anti wrinkle treatment and things like that?

she admits she’s a bit a victim of images on tv and advertisements, but yet she thinks she’s getting old (really really old) and she need pro-age skin treatments to stay beautiful. how do i convince her that it’s natural to look like 20years old when you’re 20 years old and that she doesn’t have to stay 15-lookin till she’s 60 just because all the actresses and models do this? please help me, i;m really upset about her obsessions.

Here’s a great idea that she can’t argue with: Many department store makeup counters and pharmacy makeup counters have those free sun damage indicator machines. All you do is bring her to one of them, have the technician do a scan of her face, (make sure she doesnt’ wear foundation or suncreen that day) and it will determine with no uncertainty that she doesn’t have any wrinkles to speak of. It’s no cost and she can take a picture home as proof.
Or she can go to her doctor and ask her what sun damage she has. At this point, it would be sun damage that would be causing any wrinkles and not aging, she should be educated on that part of it. And maybe you can direct her to a site on this very thing to show what real sun damage is.
IF that doesn’t work, then she may have obssesive compulsive disorder and needs to speak to a professional about that, because, then, it would be a distortion in body image that she would be suffering from.

What is the best product for fixing sun damaged skin? That really works?

Has anyone been to the dermatologist for anti- aging treatments?There are so many products out there, it gets very hard to distinguish between them.Are there any skin repair sites you can recommend?

there is no hard-fast rule in taking care of your skin, especially when it comes to aging. skin age does not translate to chronological age. it is how you take care of it that determines what products to use. i have been in the beauty industry for 12 years and have tried every anti-aging product possible in the market/ i even had the chance to help create some. also retail is a good alternative and more cost-effective versus dermatologist / professional treatments.

sun is the number one cause of aging. it’s good only to an extent, over exposure without protection destroys the foundation of our skin which causes us to wrinkle and look older. there are 3 types of sun rays: UVA (aging) = which penetrates deep into the skin that breaks down it’s very foundation thus causing our skin to age faster, UVB (burning) = which penetrates the surface of the skin that causes it to darken / tan, UVC (cancer) = does not reach us at all, these rays are the shortest and we are lucky that they are

anyway, below are some tips and my list of the best products and brands that you can check out and try:

depending on your budget there are several products out there. my rating legends would be: $ = affordable, $$ = mid-priced, $$$ = premium priced

first, always keep skin clean – use a non-drying cleanser and toner 2x a day – low alcohol or no alcohol would be best for sundamaged skin – your skin usually tends to be drier due to exposure to the sun.

* a cleanser i like is CHANEL’s systeme la mousse eclat (to enhance radiance, as the sun makes the skin dull) / follow with a toner. try it with CHANEL’s activatuer eclat or activatuer hydratation. PRICE LEGEND: $$$

* another cleanser i like is AVON skincare solutions keep it clean vitamin charged cleanser (enhances radiance) / follow with toner. try AVON skincare solutions keep it fresh vitamin charged toner PRICE LEGEND: $

second, use an anti-aging product that has at most an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15. anything more than that is a work of marketing to make you believe that you need this much SPF to protect your skin and make you spend more as SPF ingredients are expensive depending on the factor in the product. the truth is, any product with SPF 15 or more needs to be re-applied every 2 hours, especialy in tropical countries where you tend to have more humidity. the sweat we produce eventually removes the product off our faces, thus it’s important to re-apply. another tip: carry a dual powder foundation compact or cream foundation compact with an SPF for touch ups during the day.

* BEST POWDER FOUNDATION I HAVE TRIED is CHANEL’s Double Perfection for a Matte Finish or Vitalumier Compact for a dewy look. PRICE LEGEND: $$$

* Anew Retroactive+ Repair Day Cream / Night Cream – these products works at a cellular level to "re-rpogram" the skin to make it think like it’s young again. so it technically reverses the signs of aging while protecting it from environmental stressors. the day cream has SPF 15 to protect you from UVA / UVB rays. PRICE LEGEND: $

* Anew Luminosity Ultra Advanced SKin BRightener – this is great to even out your skin tone, especially if your are concerned with dark spots. it minimizes freckles and skin discolorations. skin will appear brighter and more luminous in as little as 7 days. with SPF 15 to protect from UVB / UVA rays. PRICE LEGEND: $

* SISLEY ALL DAY ALL YEAR SPF 8 – this product is really a breakthrough. even with a low SPF, the name says it all – it protects you all day all year. with only a pea size this product stays on your face for 8 hours. it’s technology is created, so that the SPF will not wipe off when you sweat and will stay on for 8 hours. it wraps your skin in a bubble of protection the stays "velcroed" on the skin until you wash it off. the result, in 4 weeks skin is renewed and looks refined and younger. after the 28 day natural skin renewal process, the skin underneath that shows has been protected thatnks to the "all day" protection this products has given. in spite of it’s price, an age regression of 10 years (based on lab tests – although may vary for individuals) makes this product worth purchasing. PRICE LEGEND: $$$

These are the products that stnad out on my list of "dependable" products. However, as I mentioned there is no SOLID RULE. Look for a regimen that works for you, it may take a couple of tries – get some samples (if available) to see how you will react, you will be able to tell in a few days which one works the best or try to ask them to give you a "sample" treatment on counter – most premium brands like CHANEL and SISLEY PARIS do that on counter in department stores. all brands mentioned can also give you a skin analysis and suggest some products customized for your need. this is a lot cheaper than having it professionally done.

also you can visit their websites: www.avon.com, www.chanel.com, www.sisley-cosmetics.com

i hope that i have helped and good luck!

what wrinkle treatment can be used with rosacea?

Using RX meds for rosacea but want to use a anti-aging treatment also.

Eucerin anti wrinkles cream is good great for sensitive skin and Rosacea .

What exactly do eye creams do and are they worth it?

Are they only recommended as anti-aging treatments or can they be used by people in their 20s too? I’ve always wondered what they did besides reduce dark circles.

any kind of cream is good for u. you’re supposed to moisturize every day and start when ur young so ur skin doesn’t get that many wrinkles or appear older than ur actual age. my great aunt is in her 70’s and has skin that looks like a 35-40 yr old’s-NOT lying. but she started using creams n all that since she was like 15 EVERY signle day…it sure pays off;) and if it’s cream especially made for eyes it will work even better. i try to moisturize everyday. ppl always tell me i have really good skin.
