i want my face to look gorgeous. i dont have acne, but i get a few blemishes here and there. how do i get that beautiful skin like the girls on tv. i use "st. ives apricot scrub" EVERY day. its alright.. but like i said, i want my face to be more.... CLEAR, and smooth. any help? how long would it take to get my skin lookin perfect? and what should i use.. i know i dont need PROACTIVE... again, i dont have acne.
How can i get beautiful skin and fast?
the girls on TV got tons of makeup on.
eat healthy, exercise and drink allot of water.
It works for me, and my mother tells me I've got the most beautiful skin in the world!
Reply:DRINK AT LEAST TWO LITRES OF WATER A DAY AND USE ONLY UNPERFUMED AND UNCOLURED SKINCARE PRODUCTS.. THE GIRLS ON TELLY ARE USUALLY CHOSEN FOR THEIR FANTASTIC SKIN AND NOT ALL OF US ARE THAT LUCKY INCLUDING ME !! GOOD LUCK AND TAKE CARE
Reply:oil olay is very good makes ur skin soft as babys butt yes the tv females wear make up
Reply:drinks 8 glass of water a day and drink cucumber jus twice a week or more.
Reply:the gals on tv a set up with lots of makeup and lights if you drink lots of water everyday and wash tiyr face well 2 times a day very wasrm water you should see some results in bout week
Reply:drink lots of water, wash your face morning and night, use a good moisterizer, and remember, nobody has perfect skin, or perfect anything else. you are already pretty so be happy you don't have acne, you are already blessed!
Reply:water water and more water and go to the dermatologist..they have a pill now that you take for two weeks and it gets rid of all ure blemishes permanently
my bf is taking it right now..u can get it from the dermatologist..just tell them u want it
Reply:You have to remember that the people that you see on TV does not have perfect skin either, those pictures that you see are all buffed and all made up. You would be amazed at the kind of skin you can get for the right amount of money. But its all fake, everyone gets blemishes once and a while, so dont stress over it, its not like you have a face full of pimples.
Reply:not everything you see on tv is real. those girls put on loads of make-up. if not, they use photoshop. they just look perfect so that you'll buy what they're selling to have a perfect face. don't be fooled by them.

Will these combinations help in fading my stretch marks?
I will use apricot scrub daily after bath then massage cocoa butter in the morning then apply alpha hydroxy acid cream (aha cream) in the evening. Take vitamin c everyday and drink lots of water.
Will these have great result to improve my stretch marks? pls. help me.

I've heard that cocoa butter doesn't really help.. but i think it depends on how old your scars are. Try using Emu Oil. I've heard it works great.
Reply:Taking skin vitamins will help, or so I've heard. I use cocoa butter and it seemed to help on the ones I had from when I was really fat. I tan (but, I don't recommend it, skin cancer is never fun) and it hides them really well.
Also, there is a skin cream I heard of called Trilastin that supposedly works really well.

Which is the most effective exfoliant?
I've been using St. Ives apricot scrub for a few years now, and my skin looks great. However, I've also seen ads for home microdermabrasion systems and various products with either retinol or alpha hydroxy acids. Do all of these products pretty much produce the same results, or are some exfoliants better than others? Explain.
Which is the most effective exfoliant?
St. Ives and any other exfoliant with "grains" are mechanical, meaning they need to be rubbed in. They do have good results. for more drastic results you would go with a chemical exfoliant, which does not require rubbing. (this would be retinol, any alpha hydroxy etc.), these would not be used as often as a mechaincal which can be used every day. BE careful with chemicals though if you have sensitive skin. Be sure and ask a professional before you use any of them.
hope that helped!
Reply:i use st. ives apricot scrub too. it works great. basically, all exfoliants have the same effect. the key lies in actually selecting the right one. over exfoliation is very harmful and can ruin you skin, and so can exfoliating creams that have harsh chemicals. so if you know that st. ives works for you, stick to it.

What would be a good wine or liquor to serve with an Asian/Chinease dinner?
Im serving apricot glazed chicken with egg fried rice.
What would be a good wine or liquor to serve with an Asian/Chinease dinner?
Sake (酒; pronounced IPA: /sɑ.k?/ "SAH-KAY" in Japanese) is a Japanese alcoholic beverage, brewed from rice. It is often referred to as rice wine.

Reply:don't serve it with sake, that's aweful!
how about a nice deep red wine, especially with the apricot chicken (that sounds awesome, give the recipe please!!)
or if you like beer, it can often be a good combo to have a nice low alcohol beer with chinese, because it will quench your thirst (rather than wine)
i have to say that i always prefer going with a red wine. personal preference.
enjoy your evening ;-)
Reply:Any white wine that's not too sweet, a Chardonnay or a light German wine like "Blue Nun"
Reply:my personal favorite is Plum Wine. It can be found in any liquor store...usual brands would be Takara or Choya. Plum Wine is also called Ume-shu. Ume-shu is made of green ume plums and white liquor called shochu (alcohol content of about 35%). Ume plum contains potassium and calcium, so ume-shu is said to be good for health. It is also sweet and delicious.
You can serve it the following ways:
1. on the rocks
2. 1 part plum wine 2 parts tonic water
3. 1 part plum wine 2 parts seltzer water
4. 1 part plum wine 2 parts hot water (non-carbonated)
Reply:A good gewurtztraminer is really nice with Chinese food. You can find it at any liquor store with a good wine selection.

How can I clear up my skin?
My skin gets blemishes frequently, and is slightly oily. It also has small bumps that are like tiny blemishes along my nose. I only have this acne on my face, not my back or chest. I have tried a variety of lotions and creams such as Olay, St. Ives Apricot Scrub and Clean and Clear. I don't want to have to pay too much, but I will pay a reasonable amount if I have to. (under $30.00 please). I have heard that tea tree oil helps - is this true?
Thank you.
XOXO,
Laurie
How can I clear up my skin?
I think that one of the best solutions is to very carefully wash your face twice daily, with a mild facial cleanser suited for oily skin. Also, try not to touch your face too often - the natural oil on your fingers will sometimes irritate the skin on your face. Another thing - if the blemishes occur where your bangs fall (if you have bangs), you may want to clip them back or use a headband. One more - if you use foundation, get one that's not oil-based. TERRIBLE for most all skin types and the worst pore-clogger there is.
Hope all this is helpful!

Reply:dermalogica is a great line of skincare products that may help but it is over 30.00 dollars for most of the products. also get clean and clear acne spot treatment for clearing up asap and the clean and clear oil absorbing sheets for the oil
Reply:See a dermatologist they have a variety of products they can recommend to you both prescription and non-prescription to help. Some good ones are Differin and Retin-A. Also some simple face washes they can recommend do wonders. Don't wait for it to get worse or spend your $ on something that doesn't work. Also using too many different products at once can actually make things worse, watch out for that too.
Reply:Try Serious Skin Care you can find it on the web. Your face is worth looking after. You take care of your skin it will take care of you later in life.
Reply:Pro-Activ should help, i use it.
Reply:Why don't you try using a acne foam wash from neutragena?
Or what about Proactive it cost $20. Also try not to eat oily or fatty foods like french fries or chocolate and stuff like that it is real bad for the face. Good luck hope this helps! :)
Reply:pro-activ, and clean%26amp;clear stuff. you should also try to clean ur face everyday and everynight and get a shower DAILY!
Reply:try "clear now" it works you can get it here :

Reply:By continuing to use so many products under 30.00 you are actually spending more money than if you get the right product from the get go. Search Bee Luscious Cosmetics and get the products in the medicated acne skin care line they are all incredible and you will SEE RESULTS immediately , yes they are a little more expensive but high quality and results is well worth the investment.
Reply:I tried alot of different products, including the ones you mentioned, before I found one that really worked. Neutrogena is really good but if your skin is only slightly oily it will tend to dry your skin out a little too much, which is what happened to me.
I recommend Aveeno Clear Complexion line of products that is wonderful. It contains soy and salycilic acid (for acne) and is very gentle on your skin. It cleared up my acne and worked wonders on my skin. I use the foaming wash and then the moisturizer, which is the first one I've ever found that doesn't break out my skin. It's not that expensive and you can find it at most drugstores like Walgreens and stores like Walmart too.
Check it out on the Aveeno website.
Reply:i use nutrogena and it serioulsy works. its a cheaper version of proactive, but i've used both and nutrogena works 10 times better than proactive. you can get it for $19.99 at rite aid or walmart.
hope this helps!!!
Reply:try sperm seriously
or proactive that works well too
Reply:Try not putting anything but PLAIN WATER on your face ... not even SOAP. I had acne when I was a teenager, and I stopped using anything but water ... and except for rare 'masks' I still wash my face with ONLY WATER, and I'm 56, and look better than most 40 year old women do. Just use water that is 'as hot as you can stand' and a good, 'rough' wash cloth and SCRUB, then rinse it three times, with warm, cool, and finally cold water ... and do this 'washing' three to five times a day (depends on if you wear make-up or not. Even if you use a 'make-up remover' that can leave 'oils' on your face, and your pores will be 'open' so the 'dirt' can get in ... by scrubbing with the hot water, you are removing the dirt ... the three succesively cooler rinses are to get your pores back to their 'smallest' size, so the dirt can't get in as well. GOOD LUCK. But hey ... water is really 'cheap' compared to something you have to buy from a store!
Reply:Acne can have many irritants, it's hard to recommend treatments. Things to consider:
Retin-A works really well but requires a prescription. You probably don't need a dermatologist, your regular doctor can also get you a prescription for it.
Some foods can aggravate acne. Fried, oily foods, possibly chocolate.
Makeups and facial creams can possibly aggravate it.
Many over-the-counter products can help if you can reduce the irritants.
Thank you.

Can anyone identify this fruit? Orange with 2/3 large brown stones. Firm, juicy and sweet looks like apricot?
The fruit appears to be from turkey and the middle east and appears in grocers during the summer season. Same size, colour and firmness as an apricot with thin skin which you peal off to eat it. The skin and flesh are orange. The large brown stones are a bit like apple pips but 10 times the size and wet and slippery.
The fruit is very juicy but firm and quenches your thirst in the summer - very satifying similar way to water melon. You can find yourself eating loads of them. At the same time it's a bit tarte like apples/oranges but only a bit.
The skin texture is similar to mango but I assume that people would not think of using mango as a comparison as the fruit mostly resembles a juicy version of an apricot. Mangos are eaten in the same way by pealing the thin skin.
What is this fruit called - I think it has many names depending where you come from?

Loquat! We had a loquat tree in our garden when I was a kid, and the fruit was delicious every year...amazingly, nobody in the family or neighborhood could come up with ways to make anything of them [jams, jellies, tarts, etc.] so we just picked them and ate them out of hand. We didn't peel them, just scarfed them down like apricots. Wherever in the far/middle/near east the ones you've found at grocers come from to wherever you are, sound like a vastly improved version that have been cross-bred or hybridized to produce larger fancier fruit to sell.. we never even sprayed or pruned or did anything to our loquat tree...just let it do its thing in our garden and shared out the goodies every year.
