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?
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)

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 :
www.azitsou.qbeautyzone.com or for more information on skin care write to zonesantebeaute@yahoo.com
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.

Do you like St.Ives apricot Scrub?
yeah it cleans your face really well and gets rid of blackheads. I have only tryed one othere one other that the apricot but idk what it was called it was in a green tube. but i like the apricot the best
Reply:Oh yes, St. Ives Apricot Scrub...I praise it! It works the best for exfoliation! And it was rated the top facial scrub on the market and many dermatologists recommend it! At first, I never really liked the little sharp bits against my skin, but after I rinsed my face with cold water and felt it, it was baby butt fresh ^^ Smooth and silky! Never thought I'd feel that anytime soon! And it is an affordable price! Better than Clean and Clear and Neutrogena actually!
Reply:There are so many people that swear by it, but it really didnt make a difference in my skin, except it made it more red because it was too abrasive. I like using it as a scrub in the shower though-- it works super well that way!
Reply:I love it. i think mine's just the normal one.
Reply:i love it.my face feels sooo smooth after.

Do you like St.Ives apricot Scrub?
yeah it cleans your face really well and gets rid of blackheads. I have only tryed one othere one other that the apricot but idk what it was called it was in a green tube. but i like the apricot the best
Reply:Oh yes, St. Ives Apricot Scrub...I praise it! It works the best for exfoliation! And it was rated the top facial scrub on the market and many dermatologists recommend it!

I have mild acne and acne prone skin, also oily. Which one would be better for me? Cetaphil or St. Ives???
Can u use St. Ives Apricot cleanser everyday???
I have mild acne too. I use St. Ives and it's pretty good. Try to get the whole set. (Face Wash, Cleanser, and Scrub.)
Yes you can use the cleanser each day. Use it each day, epically if you wear makeup! It's very gentle.
Reply:i use st.ives everydai..it works pretty g0od..it keeps ure face nice n soft
Reply:i would not use it every day. i only use it twice or three times a week. other times, i use a daily pore cleasner.

Is Saint Ive's Apricot Scrub Good?
Does it help get rid of acne scars, make your face glow/brighten. Does it SLIGHTLY lighten skin, and make it beutiful. Can you tell me how fast i should expect results.
Thanks!
Is Saint Ive's Apricot Scrub Good?
i use it all the time and i can really tell a difference when i dont use it for a few days.
it does make my skin look better
but i dont think it's not meant to remove scars or anything like that
you should start seeing results the day you use it
Reply:i have been using it for years its good to clean the skin with but hasnt got rid of acne scars and am not sure it will lighten the skin
Reply:it cleans the skin and gets rid of dead skin on the surace which i guess could make it lighter
but it doesnt get rid of acne scars
but i think its a good scrub. :]
Reply:don't waste your money. all scrubs are the same and achieve to do the same thing. yogourt and milk do a wonderful job of exfoliating and lightening the skin because they contain lactic acid (a natural exfoliant) lemon/lime can also do the same, and none of these harm the skin.

I need fresh apricots not dried our canned but its out of season where can i get them?
Its for some one very sick and tahst is their favorite fruit so itd be great to help me out
I need fresh apricots not dried our canned but its out of season where can i get them?
Often the large retailers like Walmart carry them. If not, you can put in a special request with the Produce Manager. They may be more expensive out of season, but if they've got a customer, may order them for you.
Good luck to you and best wishes for your friend!!! =)
Reply:Raley's has allot of fruit that is out of season. I got star fruit from them when my friend needed it . They are quick too. Just tell them it's for a friend who's sick. Take care.

Adoption fees are not expensive
Also keep in mind that there are services set up for transporting dogs and puppies that are up for adoption to people that are in different states for a reasonable fee.

Ewww...what is this thing in my "Pyramid apricot weizen beer" ????????????? it looks like snot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is yeast that has settled to the bottom. This happens with unfiltered beer. I jst checked out their website and yes, it is unfiltered. Put it aside, it's harmless. If the beer was old and going bad and just chunky, u would know by the smell. I hope I helped!
Ewww...what is this thing in my "Pyramid apricot weizen beer" ????????????? it looks like snot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's the wheat. Hefeweizens are brewed with wheat and some of it will remain in the beer and then sit at the bottom after it is bottled or kegged. After awhile it will congeal a little. It's harmless, you can stir it up or take it out with a spoon or napkin.
Reply:sorry i blew buggers in your drink when u wasent lookin
Reply:Any good wheat beer will be unfiltered. It is not wheat like some people think, it is the yeast used for fermentation. It settles to the bottom of the bottle. Anyone who truly appreciates this style of beer will pour slowly down the side of the glass to start, than move the pour to the center to areate the beer. Stop with about half inch on the bottom, swirl the bottle and pour it in. Perfect. Not only does it add flavor it is a good source of b vitamins. Toss in a slice of lemon, or an orange slice, whatever you like best, than sit back and enjoy.

Are apricots a good snack to eat before running?
I am looking for quick snacks to grab right before doing my morning run.
Are apricots a good snack to eat before running?
I would way apricots and a good protien snack like almonds. YOu could also drink a small protein shake with the apricots on the side.
Reply:it is not good to eat just before to get to your morning jog however, you must bring water for recharging
Reply:Dried apricots ARE a simple, good handy snack!
They are one of the best natural sources of Vitamin A, especially when dried. Essential for healthy skin and mucous membranes. Vitamin A is also needed for good sight; insufficient amounts can cause night blindness, impair sight and increase susceptibility to colds and other illnesses. Although it is one of the few vitamins which we can theoretically build up to toxic levels, this doesn't normally happen if it is taken naturally.

st.ives apricot scrub
Clinique oil free moisturizer.

st.ives apricot scrub
clinique oil free moistturizer
vaseline around my eyes to prevent wrinkles.
every other night i use the Loreal Peel kit.
As makeup goes i use very little.
What do you think of my Skin Care Routine?
depends on your skin type.. sounds pretty good though. i'd just make sure to find a good sunscreen before your skin starts wrinkling at an early age. and also, be careful with the loreal peel kit.. it can be really drying for your skin and cause flakes. if your skin doesn't appear to be having any problems though, i'd say you're doing a good job :]
Reply:I think you use the apricot scrub too often. You should use a facewash morning and night daily and then once or twice a week the scrub as needed.

St Ives Apricot for sensative skin?
is it ok for my sensative, and sometimes dry skin.
I haven't bought it yet and i do know that it should be used once a week.....anyoe use it that has skin like me?
St Ives Apricot for sensative skin?
If you have sensitive skin it is probably too abrasive. I recomment Principal Secrets scrub because hers is the smoothest one out there! I have tried countless. Hers does not scratch at all! Can buy online or through QVC
Reply:umm. you can get it in differrent texture so since you have sensitive skin you shuold get the less coarse stuff.
:]
Reply:NO!! NO!!! and Double NOOOOO!!! Crushed apricot shells are the key ingredient in this product, and crushed apricot shells (think about it) ... are nothing but .. crushed apricot shells. They're jagged and will cause miniscule abrasions in the skin, and if you're sensitive skinned, it %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;could%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;%26lt; cause severe irritation and/or abrasions. I'm a skin care professional, and would NEVER recommend this product for sensitive skin.
Reply:I don't really have sensitive skin but I do use St.Ives. It works really well! Good Luck! ~Mandy~
Reply:The best skin lotion or cream, is ones that have all natural ingredients. Commercial lotions and creams have added chemicals that are not good for us. Check out this site with healthy skin information.

Reply:Yes it is good for sinsitive/dry skin
Reply:I've used it and it works good! Give it a try. It makes your skin smooth, but doesn't dry it out.
Reply:i love this stuff. I use it once to twice a week.
Reply:Personally I love St Ives. I use the medicated apricot exfoliating cleanser when I shower and the apricot radiance every day. It does tend to dry out my skin a bit but my skin dries out quickly anyways with the colder weather.
I use a moisturizer afterwards and I'm good to go.
Start out with the radiance and see how you like it. It's a cream cleanser and still has the exfoliating beads but not as many. They also have specific products for sensitive skin.

Why the fruits dont have the same taste as in my country?
I bought some green apples, and apricot that are really TASTELESS, though the apricots come from Jordon! weird!!
Are the fruits in lebanon tasting good or bomby?
Why the fruits dont have the same taste as in my country?
Good question.....
I have thought the same many times.
My country is small too and not big distances to cover transporting the fruits, but they dont taste same as lebanese ones.
May be it is bcoz they keep them in that huge freezers.
Reply:Well , over here we have to send fruit %26amp; vegetables long distances...also , the best of our crops are exported %26amp; we end up getting the leftovers !
Quite often produce is picked green , ripened artificially to suit marketing %26amp; kept in cold storage for months ...it's a wonder that there's any taste at all !
From what I could see in Lebanon , produce is still being produced without an excess of chemical additives to the soil , transported to market daily %26amp; picked in season ...vive la differance !
Reply:They are probably picked when they aren't quite ripe so that they will travel better, but don't taste as good. The same thing happens in the United States. Fresh, tree ripened peaches in Washington state are delicious, but the ones that get shipped two thousand miles to Ohio are hard as rocks.
