Can anyone share their glycolic treatment experience with me?
Toushka- if I could hear from you, it would be great!
I discover the 'power' of glycolic acid 3 months ago when I purchased a glycolic cleanser from a salon..I use it twice a day (morning and night) and have a fab clear complexion now..no more spots, nor uneven skin tone..
I also do home microdermabrasion once a week to get rid of dead skin cells..which I find gives me a bit of a glow..
I am interested to find out about more glycolic treatments. Do you think it is better to do it at the salons? What's your glycolic and skin care regime?
Glycolic acid skin treatments?
Use products with 15-20% glycolic acid. There are glycolic creams and lotions available in stores. But it's not for daily use, just every other day. You don't need a salon for this.
But there are also glycolic solutions, these have a higher glycolic content and are much more potent than creams or lotions. Dermatologists would apply this once a week only.
You need professional assistance with solutions but not with creams or lotions.

Glycolic acid skin treatments?
I would only do the glycol thing at a beauty salon. I would be wary of home treatments as my skin is sensitive. I heard they are great on normal and oily skin types but for me they never really were a success. But hey if it works for you go for it. However I did once hear someone say that extended use can thin the skin too much and this isn't good as you age so just be careful not to overdo!
Reply:After 9 years of smoking I had a problem with dull skin and larger pores, also my forhead skin was really a state, leathery and discoloured probably sun damage too from trying to get a "glow" from tanning (I have olive skin which can be sallow at times) I discovered avon two step peel, although my sister got a home microdermabrasion kit, my skin was irritated when I tried it so I gave up on home microdermabrasion and went to a salon for professional treatment, after my first session it was great but after the third I didnt really see anything significant and at 拢60.00 a time it was getting dissappointing. So I started using Avon 2 step peel daily instead of every other day, my skin improved but after 2 weeks it kinda stopped working so I thought i'd get something stronger which is No 7 gentle glycolic peel. I also used this and bended the rules by leaving it on longer and saw a great improvement and decided to turn it up a notch and get something stronger so I found this website called www.perfectskinuk.com and am using their products now but still use dermalogica anti-bac wash. My skin always looks like I've just had a facial now and my pores look smaller every week!

Wats your favorite skin care lines?
Biore for break out-prone skin, it has mask, nose strips, moisturizer with SPF, cleanser, toner... generally you should at least wash your face twice a day, in the morning and before bed, use a toner after and moisturize.
I've also tried the clean %26amp; clear products, but didn't find any of them particularly effective, some are a bit harsh for my skin as well.
Clinique 3 step system is great as well. toner, moisturizer, cleanser work together to improve the all over condition for the skin. They also have spot treatments for acne.
Reply:st. ives medicated apricot scrub. this stuff is AWESOME. use it every 2 or 3 days (depending on how sensitive your skin is) and put on moisturizer afterwards (either pond's or olay) and you skin will feel so soft! it's reduced my breakouts soo much. i occaisonally get a couple of whiteheads, but i haven't had an actual pimple in over a month.
Reply:Netroange it ROCKS!!!!!!!! i have never had a zit i use cure acne before it comes scrub never a zit not once

The best skin treatment??
I have very difficult skin to treat and was hoping to find a good solution. My skin is very dry, but oily in certain areas on my face. On top of that my face is sensitive to most products i've tried. What are some really good face cleansers for oily and dry skin. But isn't too strong and wont cause me to break out.
I'm just looking for a cleanser not an acne treatment. I dont have acne, but I occasionally have a break out. I also get isolated pimples that pop up. They usually come 1 at a time, but they stay for about a week b4 even starting to go away and nothing seems to work for it.
The best skin treatment??
Try Aveeno moisturizing bar. I have sensitive oily skin with some dry patches due to Retin-A use. My dermatologist recommended this bar and I think it's great. It cleanses away makeup and oil well, but doesn't dry out my skin (which has been a problem for me with other cleansers). It's fine if you use moisturizer on just the dry spots. Try Aveeno Ultra Calming moisturizers. They work well for me. In the mornings you can try using the original Cetaphil cleanser. It's very mild and will not dry out your skin. Skin doesn't need to be cleansed with as strong a cleanser in the morning as in the evening.
Try a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment product. Neutrogena has one. Use it just on the pimple so as not to irritate your surrounding skin.

Oily face, skin lost colour?
I dont understand why my skin has darkened and it is most of the time oily. It was not like this before. I drink water more than used to and I have stopped myself from drinking other drinks like pepsi etc. Do orange and carrot juices help? If so then how much shud i drink per day? Please give me some natural remedies get a good skin which looks fresh and glowing. I also want my skin colour back on my face and on the lips. Thanks
Oily face, skin lost colour?
I have always had an acme problem until recently. I had a friend suggest a product called Cetaphil (they sell it at Wal-mart and pretty much anywhere). I have never heard of it before but of course those of us with acme problems will try anything. So I bought a big bottle for 14.99 I am amazed with the results and have not had a single sit resurface since I have been washing my face day and night with it. It also leaves your face feeling soft and not over dried like the Neutrogena was doing to my face. I have attached the website link below so check it out. I hope this helps.
A friend who had acme problems who cares.

maybe you are getting tanned? or going though a faze?

OMG MY SKIN! Im scared my Acne will RETURN! :O?
Ok, my skin is easily irritated, and I no longer have serious acne, I did like in 7th grade, but now my face is nearly clear, Im now in 11th, I think drinking pure water all year has helped alot, but now I want greater results, and I want it to clear completely, no little zits, or irritation, I just want smooth skin,
Can I have some insight on ways to get clearer/smoother skin, and I don't like that cheap acne medication that smells like Clorox,
Can some one give me some names of awesome acne creams, or other remedies :) thanx :D
OMG MY SKIN! Im scared my Acne will RETURN! :O?
Over the counter products rarely help bad acne but trying never hurt. Wash your skin with a mild cleanser everyday and apply something with Benzoyl Peroxide all over your face at night. Using a scrub once a week may help with blackheads and white heads but don't use it if you have inflamed pimples. This can spread bacteria and may make the lesions worse.
The best thing to do is go to the Dermatologist if you can and get a medication, external or internal, that suits the kind of acne you have. Antibiotics work well for inflamed acne because it kills bacteria on the skin. Benzaclin is a cream with a topical antibiotic and Benzoyl Peroxide. Retin-A or Differin gel make your skin slough off alot faster to help blackheads and whiteheads clear up. All of these are drying at first but after using them awhile your skin will adjust and get used to them.
Drinking lots of water is good for your skin, gives a healthy glow and helps release toxins. Not to mention keeps you hydrated and lessens the chance of wrinkles which you probably don't care about now but think long term. keep drinking that water!
I have suffered with acne it seems like forever. As I get older it just changes. Take care of it now and get it under control. Acne is treatable and can be eliminated for most people especially with a doctor's help.

Reply:These are the aspects you have to take into account:
To control acne:
1) Keep sebum secretion under control using sea kelp bioferment, niacinamide and EGCG from green tea.
2) Normalize keratinization and prevent the exfoliated keratinocytes from sticking together, closing the pore. Go for white willow bark extract, which will also reduce inflammation. Other helpful actives are sulfur, retinyl acetate (or other retinoids). Chemical peels will also help but make sure that the glycolic and other acids are not neutralized using bases like sodium hydroxide, a common ploy used to impress consumers with high concentrations of acid that will do nothing because they have been converted into (useless) salts.
3) Decrease inflammation with actives like white liquorice extract. Avoid steroids, anti-inflammatories that everybody likes because they are so fast. With prolonged use they may cause skin atrophy and steroid acne.
4) Kill acne bacteria: tea tree oil, Coleus essential oil. Propolis should also work but many of our clients do not like the smell. Avoid benzoyl peroxide, which will kill bacteria but will also age your skin and increase the probability of skin cancer.
5) For men and women: inhibit the activity of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase using saw palmetto and wild yam extracts, this active will reduce skin androgens, reducing the frequency of acne lesions.
What NOT to do
Don't use benzoyl peroxide. This chemical is a strong oxidant, and the idea is to use it to kill the acne bacteria. The problem is, you are killing your own cells too.

Can I have some insight on ways to get clearer/smoother skin, and I don't like that cheap acne medication that smells like Clorox,
Can some one give me some names of awesome acne creams, or other remedies :) thanx :D
OMG MY SKIN! Im scared my Acne will RETURN! :O?
Over the counter products rarely help bad acne but trying never hurt. Wash your skin with a mild cleanser everyday and apply something with Benzoyl Peroxide all over your face at night. Using a scrub once a week may help with blackheads and white heads but don't use it if you have inflamed pimples. This can spread bacteria and may make the lesions worse.
The best thing to do is go to the Dermatologist if you can and get a medication, external or internal, that suits the kind of acne you have. Antibiotics work well for inflamed acne because it kills bacteria on the skin. Benzaclin is a cream with a topical antibiotic and Benzoyl Peroxide. Retin-A or Differin gel make your skin slough off alot faster to help blackheads and whiteheads clear up. All of these are drying at first but after using them awhile your skin will adjust and get used to them.
Drinking lots of water is good for your skin, gives a healthy glow and helps release toxins. Not to mention keeps you hydrated and lessens the chance of wrinkles which you probably don't care about now but think long term. keep drinking that water!
I have suffered with acne it seems like forever. As I get older it just changes. Take care of it now and get it under control. Acne is treatable and can be eliminated for most people especially with a doctor's help.

Reply:These are the aspects you have to take into account:
To control acne:
1) Keep sebum secretion under control using sea kelp bioferment, niacinamide and EGCG from green tea.
2) Normalize keratinization and prevent the exfoliated keratinocytes from sticking together, closing the pore. Go for white willow bark extract, which will also reduce inflammation. Other helpful actives are sulfur, retinyl acetate (or other retinoids). Chemical peels will also help but make sure that the glycolic and other acids are not neutralized using bases like sodium hydroxide, a common ploy used to impress consumers with high concentrations of acid that will do nothing because they have been converted into (useless) salts.
3) Decrease inflammation with actives like white liquorice extract. Avoid steroids, anti-inflammatories that everybody likes because they are so fast. With prolonged use they may cause skin atrophy and steroid acne.
4) Kill acne bacteria: tea tree oil, Coleus essential oil. Propolis should also work but many of our clients do not like the smell. Avoid benzoyl peroxide, which will kill bacteria but will also age your skin and increase the probability of skin cancer.
5) For men and women: inhibit the activity of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase using saw palmetto and wild yam extracts, this active will reduce skin androgens, reducing the frequency of acne lesions.

Is Soap bad for your skin?? I think I've found a nice one..opinions please!!!!?
I keep reading everywhere how soap is bad for your skin but I have found a natural oilve oil soap that I've been using for a while now. I find it makes the skin on my face lovely and smooth. It contains the following:
Ingredients: olive oil (72%), sodium hydroxide (11%), water (17%).
I know olive oil and water are fine for my skin but what is sodium hydroxide? Is it good for my skin to continue using this on my face. So far, my skin feels great and it seems to me that the ingredients are natural.
Is Soap bad for your skin?? I think I've found a nice one..opinions please!!!!?
Don't worry about it - sodium hydroxide is a common alkali (opposite of acid) used in soapmaking. If it's working for you, keep using it!
Is Soap bad for your skin?? I think I've found a nice one..opinions please!!!!?
All soap contains sodium hydroxide, it's what makes it soap. It is drying, but some are worse than others. You can counter this a bit by using a good moisturiser. However, I never use soap on my face, just natural scrubs made from a mixture of fine oatmeal, ground almonds and honey, blended with a little hot water and left to cool. I also sometimes add cocoa butter or olive oil. These clean and exfoliate and leave the skin very soft without the drying effects of soap.
Reply:when people say that soap is bad for your skin they are normally talikng about your run of the mill hand soap (dial soap, etc.) which can be harsh and dry out the skin
the soap you are using contains hyrdrating ingredients like olive oil so it obviously won't be as harsh to the skin
make sure you use a wash cloth to mix in some light exfoliation with the soap but the soap you are using sounds fine and sodium hydroxide can't be too bad if it had worked for you thus far...

Redish slightly itchy skin with few spots appearing?
my spots went and now they coming back today my skin felt itcy and mum said it luks like a rash type thingy but its not a rash...im guessing its cos i changed my skin cleansing productsd and the one i had said it could be bad for sensitive skin...could this be the reason?
also what else cna i do through my diet to help clear skin.......[ i do eat alot of white carbs]
Redish slightly itchy skin with few spots appearing?
Warm water will open all your pores for cleansing use a mild soap to cleanse infected area. make sure you aren't using anything with perfumes/or a high alcohol content. rinse with cooler water this closes the pores after cleansing. DO NOT continuously try to clear it up by repeat washes to much irritates, and drys out all your natural oils. these oils/enzymes are needed to fight the issue. apply a facial astringent (stuff that is like alcohol it kinda burns a bit ) but if skin is broken don't apply it will burn! this makes sure all pores are not only closed but are completely free of pore clogging diets n oils. If your skin is dried out apply a small amount of FACE lotion with SPF as needed. Make sure you keep in mind heat opens pores to germs, bacteria and fungus and one leads to another fungus being contagious and only a physician can accurately treat. With that in mind stay out of direct sunlight until condition betters to your standards drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated and don't scrub your face you end up scrubbing off the new layers of skin that are healing your rash. I'm a Cosmetologist and a little trick to my trade is Paul Mitchells awapuii leave in conditioner its for hair AND SKIN...the awapuii ingredient protects your skin from harmful UV rays acts as an SPF and moisturizer and some....It sounds crazy but I'm sure you've heard of crazier we all have, I would definitely recommend trying it out

TAKE VALTREX TO SUPRESS OUTBREAKS

Reply:It sounds like a slight case of exzema.........my daugther developed it when she was about 3 months old, she is now 17yrs old.. If you have sensitive skin then you should not use anything that contains fragrance. People with sensitive skin %26amp;/or allergies will see areas of dry itchy skin if they use harsh or fragranted products/or come in contact with allergenic items. Buy some hydrocortizone at the drug store this will control the eczema. YOU MUST USE SOME TYPE OF NON FRAGRANT _ HYPO-ALERGENIC LOTION EVERYDAY TO KEEP FROM GETTING THESE ITCHY SPOTS.The terms eczema or dermatitis are used to describe certain kinds of inflamed skin conditions including allergic contact dermatitis and nummular dermatitis. Eczema can be red, blistering, oozing, scaly, brownish, or thickened skin and usually itches. A special type is called atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema.

Dog's skin irritations after doggie daycare?
My 13 month old Pit/Lab mix is always exhaused after daycare (he never stops playing).... but the day after his skin is always a little more pink.... but espeshally the skin around his butt. There are no bumps, just the skin is almost red. He doesn't seem to be licking or bothered by it.... do you think it's just "exhaustion"? Or should I be more concerned? It always goes away after 1-2 days.
Dog's skin irritations after doggie daycare?
Maybe its allergies. I suggest to take him to the vet.
Dog's skin irritations after doggie daycare?
It could be anything. Check with the daycare to make sure the dogs are up to date on shots, etc. Talk to the other dog owners and see if anyone else has noticed anything strange. Give your vet a call and I'm sure they'd be happy to help you over the phone, it could be something simple and harmless, but it wouldn't hurt to ask them. If the dog's general behaviour hasn't changed, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Reply:It could be an allergy to something at the daycare - maybe a different cleaner that they use that you don't use at home. Ask them. It may just be a sensitivity, not even a full blown allergy. But you need to know what he has been around to know if that is what is bothering him. Your vet would be a great source of information as well. But you need to know what he has been exposed to so you are more informed when you talk to the vet.
Reply:if its cold it could be raw or a minor allergy irritation

Make ur skin fairer?
you skin will turn back white eventually if you stay out of sun.
Make ur skin fairer?
use a higher spf sunscreen to prevent further darkening;
the tan will fade in several weeks;
you can also use a mild lightening soap
like the black licorice soap for faster results. :-)

How can I soften my Skin?
I would like to soften the skin on my arms, my legs, and my face. I do not want to go out and buy a product. My mother says that there is a remedy where you go to a sauna and make yourself sticky in honey. Your pores will open up so much that your skin will asorb all the honey, get rid of the stickiness, and make your skin like silk. Should I try that, but instead of going to a sauna, I could turn boiling hot water on in the shower and let all the steam build up. Anybody know any other homemade remedies?
By the way, I don't have pimples, maybe a few, but they aren't the problem, I need soft skin, soft, healthy, and beautiful skin.
How can I soften my Skin?
You can use some at home tips, as your mom says, to soften the skin. Depending on your skin type (combination, oily, dry or sensitive), here are some mask ideas you can make:
1. Avocado mask - mash the pulp of a ripe avocado and apply it all over face and throat; let it sit for 10 minutes, then wash off.
2. Protein mask - beat one egg white, and apply to face and throat; leave on for 15 minutes and then rinse.
3. Banana mask - banana, honey and a few drops of orange or lemon juice should be mixed together, then applied to face, skin; rinse with warm water.
Also, to soften body, apply lotion after showering/washing and before going to bed. Wash and moisturize face twice a day - in the morning and before going to bed. Also, be weary of products that have "alcohol" in them when you do buy products; these dry out our skin even more.

Reply:Melt chocolate (make sure it's not too hot), and give yourself a chocolate mask wherever you have dry skin. The cocoa butter and the properties of chocolate do wonders! A lot of spas are now offering dark chocolate masks. For instance, a pedicure with a chocolate foot mask! To do a mask, put the warm chocolate on your skin, and let dry. Then peel off the chocolate layer when it dries.
Reply:After you take a bath, try applying moisturizers. For home-made remedies, if you have coconut milk, you can apply some on your skin 30 minutes BEFORE you take a bath. Some people use the squeezed skin of oranges or lemons since the citric oils on those skins help soften the skin. Some actually use the entire fruit on their bodies. If you have baby oil in the house, you can try this: after you take a bath, before you towel off, apply some on your wet skin (not too much) and then one more shower off just to wash it off but don't soap. Then towel dry after.

Oily face, skin lost colour?
I dont understand why my skin has darkened and it is most of the time oily. It was not like this before. I drink water more than used to and I have stopped myself from drinking other drinks like pepsi etc. Do orange and carrot juices help? If so then how much shud i drink per day? Please give me some natural remedies get a good skin which looks fresh and glowing. I also want my skin colour back on my face and on the lips. Thanks
Oily face, skin lost colour?
I have always had an acme problem until recently. I had a friend suggest a product called Cetaphil (they sell it at Wal-mart and pretty much anywhere). I have never heard of it before but of course those of us with acme problems will try anything. So I bought a big bottle for 14.99 I am amazed with the results and have not had a single sit resurface since I have been washing my face day and night with it. It also leaves your face feeling soft and not over dried like the Neutrogena was doing to my face. I have attached the website link below so check it out. I hope this helps.
A friend who had acme problems who cares.

Is Soap bad for your skin?? I think I've found a nice one..opinions please!!!!?
I keep reading everywhere how soap is bad for your skin but I have found a natural oilve oil soap that I've been using for a while now. I find it makes the skin on my face lovely and smooth. It contains the following:
Ingredients: olive oil (72%), sodium hydroxide (11%), water (17%).
I know olive oil and water are fine for my skin but what is sodium hydroxide? Is it good for my skin to continue using this on my face. So far, my skin feels great and it seems to me that the ingredients are natural.
Is Soap bad for your skin?? I think I've found a nice one..opinions please!!!!?
Don't worry about it - sodium hydroxide is a common alkali (opposite of acid) used in soapmaking. If it's working for you, keep using it!
Is Soap bad for your skin?? I think I've found a nice one..opinions please!!!!?
All soap contains sodium hydroxide, it's what makes it soap. It is drying, but some are worse than others. You can counter this a bit by using a good moisturiser. However, I never use soap on my face, just natural scrubs made from a mixture of fine oatmeal, ground almonds and honey, blended with a little hot water and left to cool. I also sometimes add cocoa butter or olive oil. These clean and exfoliate and leave the skin very soft without the drying effects of soap.
Reply:when people say that soap is bad for your skin they are normally talikng about your run of the mill hand soap (dial soap, etc.) which can be harsh and dry out the skin
the soap you are using contains hyrdrating ingredients like olive oil so it obviously won't be as harsh to the skin
make sure you use a wash cloth to mix in some light exfoliation with the soap but the soap you are using sounds fine and sodium hydroxide can't be too bad if it had worked for you thus far...

Redish slightly itchy skin with few spots appearing?
my spots went and now they coming back today my skin felt itcy and mum said it luks like a rash type thingy but its not a rash...im guessing its cos i changed my skin cleansing productsd and the one i had said it could be bad for sensitive skin...could this be the reason?
also what else cna i do through my diet to help clear skin.......[ i do eat alot of white carbs]
Redish slightly itchy skin with few spots appearing?
Warm water will open all your pores for cleansing use a mild soap to cleanse infected area. make sure you aren't using anything with perfumes/or a high alcohol content. rinse with cooler water this closes the pores after cleansing. DO NOT continuously try to clear it up by repeat washes to much irritates, and drys out all your natural oils. these oils/enzymes are needed to fight the issue. apply a facial astringent (stuff that is like alcohol it kinda burns a bit ) but if skin is broken don't apply it will burn! this makes sure all pores are not only closed but are completely free of pore clogging diets n oils. If your skin is dried out apply a small amount of FACE lotion with SPF as needed. Make sure you keep in mind heat opens pores to germs, bacteria and fungus and one leads to another fungus being contagious and only a physician can accurately treat. With that in mind stay out of direct sunlight until condition betters to your standards drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated and don't scrub your face you end up scrubbing off the new layers of skin that are healing your rash. I'm a Cosmetologist and a little trick to my trade is Paul Mitchells awapuii leave in conditioner its for hair AND SKIN...the awapuii ingredient protects your skin from harmful UV rays acts as an SPF and moisturizer and some....It sounds crazy but I'm sure you've heard of crazier we all have, I would definitely recommend trying it out

TAKE VALTREX TO SUPRESS OUTBREAKS
REMEMBER: TAKING VALTREX DOES NOT REDUCE THE RISK OF SPREADING HERPES TO OTHERS.
Reply:It sounds like a slight case of exzema.........my daugther developed it when she was about 3 months old, she is now 17yrs old.. If you have sensitive skin then you should not use anything that contains fragrance. People with sensitive skin %26amp;/or allergies will see areas of dry itchy skin if they use harsh or fragranted products/or come in contact with allergenic items. Buy some hydrocortizone at the drug store this will control the eczema. YOU MUST USE SOME TYPE OF NON FRAGRANT _ HYPO-ALERGENIC LOTION EVERYDAY TO KEEP FROM GETTING THESE ITCHY SPOTS.The terms eczema or dermatitis are used to describe certain kinds of inflamed skin conditions including allergic contact dermatitis and nummular dermatitis. Eczema can be red, blistering, oozing, scaly, brownish, or thickened skin and usually itches. A special type is called atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema.

Dog's skin irritations after doggie daycare?
My 13 month old Pit/Lab mix is always exhaused after daycare (he never stops playing).... but the day after his skin is always a little more pink.... but espeshally the skin around his butt. There are no bumps, just the skin is almost red. He doesn't seem to be licking or bothered by it.... do you think it's just "exhaustion"? Or should I be more concerned? It always goes away after 1-2 days.
Dog's skin irritations after doggie daycare?
Maybe its allergies. I suggest to take him to the vet.
Dog's skin irritations after doggie daycare?
It could be anything. Check with the daycare to make sure the dogs are up to date on shots, etc. Talk to the other dog owners and see if anyone else has noticed anything strange. Give your vet a call and I'm sure they'd be happy to help you over the phone, it could be something simple and harmless, but it wouldn't hurt to ask them. If the dog's general behaviour hasn't changed, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Reply:It could be an allergy to something at the daycare - maybe a different cleaner that they use that you don't use at home. Ask them. It may just be a sensitivity, not even a full blown allergy. But you need to know what he has been around to know if that is what is bothering him. Your vet would be a great source of information as well. But you need to know what he has been exposed to so you are more informed when you talk to the vet.
Reply:if its cold it could be raw or a minor allergy irritation

Make ur skin fairer?
you skin will turn back white eventually if you stay out of sun.
Make ur skin fairer?
use a higher spf sunscreen to prevent further darkening;
the tan will fade in several weeks;
you can also use a mild lightening soap
like the black licorice soap for faster results. :-)

How can I soften my Skin?
I would like to soften the skin on my arms, my legs, and my face. I do not want to go out and buy a product. My mother says that there is a remedy where you go to a sauna and make yourself sticky in honey. Your pores will open up so much that your skin will asorb all the honey, get rid of the stickiness, and make your skin like silk. Should I try that, but instead of going to a sauna, I could turn boiling hot water on in the shower and let all the steam build up. Anybody know any other homemade remedies?
By the way, I don't have pimples, maybe a few, but they aren't the problem, I need soft skin, soft, healthy, and beautiful skin.
How can I soften my Skin?
You can use some at home tips, as your mom says, to soften the skin. Depending on your skin type (combination, oily, dry or sensitive), here are some mask ideas you can make:
1. Avocado mask - mash the pulp of a ripe avocado and apply it all over face and throat; let it sit for 10 minutes, then wash off.
2. Protein mask - beat one egg white, and apply to face and throat; leave on for 15 minutes and then rinse.
3. Banana mask - banana, honey and a few drops of orange or lemon juice should be mixed together, then applied to face, skin; rinse with warm water.
Also, to soften body, apply lotion after showering/washing and before going to bed. Wash and moisturize face twice a day - in the morning and before going to bed. Also, be weary of products that have "alcohol" in them when you do buy products; these dry out our skin even more.

Reply:Take a hot shower, and put some moisterizer..But don't put honey. I did that once on my back and my pores clogged, and I got pimples.
Reply:baby oil or baby lotion
Reply:please im so serous equate body wash the moustierizing type gives you natural softness and other lotions dont work they just put oil on your hands and when you wash it if comes off but equate naturally soft even when hands are washed 10 plzzzPLZ plz PLZ
Reply:Melt chocolate (make sure it's not too hot), and give yourself a chocolate mask wherever you have dry skin. The cocoa butter and the properties of chocolate do wonders! A lot of spas are now offering dark chocolate masks. For instance, a pedicure with a chocolate foot mask! To do a mask, put the warm chocolate on your skin, and let dry. Then peel off the chocolate layer when it dries.
Reply:After you take a bath, try applying moisturizers. For home-made remedies, if you have coconut milk, you can apply some on your skin 30 minutes BEFORE you take a bath. Some people use the squeezed skin of oranges or lemons since the citric oils on those skins help soften the skin. Some actually use the entire fruit on their bodies. If you have baby oil in the house, you can try this: after you take a bath, before you towel off, apply some on your wet skin (not too much) and then one more shower off just to wash it off but don't soap. Then towel dry after.

Are there any NEW and EASY skin care products out there for men?
I know there were answers out there that touched on the topic but most of them were from a year ago. I am Latino (with tan skin) so although my skin looks pretty decent, I haven't really been on any consistent skin care routine, and everyone talks about taking good care of your skin (even guys).
Ok, here are some face stats and needs:
An EASY and effective skin care regiment that is not oily and heavy.
I tend to break out, not heavily, but a pimple or a few small ones every once in awhile. From that I end up having a little discoloration.
I have combination skin, but mostly on the oily side. I also work in a major city so, lots of wear and tear (smog).
I would LOVE to carry some sort of Stri-Dex typle pads for mid day touch ups, but something with a moisturizer in it maybe?
Also I tend to use facial scrubs and masks probably once every other week.
I am on a budget, but open to pricing if the product line is effective.

VIDEO PLUGIN: SKIN SMOOTHING EFFECT? I've seen it used - where can I get the plugin & for what software?
I am looking for some video editing plugin that does skin smoothing effects? Sort of like the photoshop plugin - AUTOSMOOTH 1.0. Infact, since I have that plugin - how would I apply it to videos? I cant remember what software I was using years ago - it allowed me to use Photoshop plugins applied to videos. I've seen lots of video on the internet that uses some sort of Skin Smoothing software on people. I know CNN and other TV news stations use a real-time skin smoothing software to make the news casters look flawless and remove wrinkles - far beyond what ordinary makeup can do.
My search has been driving me nuts. I've been all over the search engines and I can usually find what I want within a day or two, but I cannot find what I am looking for. If anyone can provide me a answer, solution, work around or a way to implement photoshop plugins and apply them to videos - that would be awesome %26amp; greatly appreciated! THANK YOU!

What causes bright skin around the eyes?
the skin around my eyes is a little lighter than the rest of the skin on my face. it doesnt look bad at all, infact if someone notice's it, they have to look hard....but i have noticed it since a year ago and it hasn't gone away. i want the skin to be even. i went to a dermatologist and he said that there is nothing wrong with it. and my doctor said im healthy.........but there must be a reason my skin around my eyes are lighter. and about a month ago it kind of spreaded more toward more of my face......
and no, i dont wear glasses.
What causes bright skin around the eyes?
The spreading idk but to me it sounds normal. In eveyone their eye skin color is differnt from the rest as the skin around the eyes is much more sensitive and thinner. To even it out just add conclear or foundation over the area, or get an eye primer.

Why is fair skin considered to add such facial beauty in India?
I think that sucks. In a way, that's discrimination of skin colour. It really doesn't matter, dude. And the irony is Indian's are NOT fair and pale-skinned by nature. It's just ... a silly obsession. Man, I wish SOMEONE would show our fair-skin obsessors how brown and tanned is fine. Wake up, India, fair skin is NOT a crowning glory !
Why is fair skin considered to add such facial beauty in India?
i saw once a discovery channel program about wooing, marriage , concepts of beauty and traditional beliefs all over the world. they narrated how the money and power add to sexual attraction then went on how the current tradition of tanned beauties came up. according to it the concept came around when tourism and traveling became popular. before that even in west fairer was accepted as better. as the richer people could afford it more often they often travelled a lot. result was tanned skin. and it came to be synonymous of belonging to higher status and power. so much that they now goto parlour to get tan.
they went on to compare opposite concept of beauty in India. accordingly there deduction was that it again a symbol of status. for the working woman or the woman going out in hot sun here are usually of lower strata. they get more and more tanned and become darker. while upper society woman could afford to avoid sun or covered vehicles or palakies. result was that they had fairer skin. you could recognise easily class and background of people by there clothes and how they maintain their skin or other things. the fairer women were more sought after as they were a better class. and then it came to be accepted as a criteria for beauty.
the concept of beauty keeps changing. i do not believe being fair means being more beautiful. facial features and expression makes the difference.

What causes "thin" skin that tears & bleeds easily???
Since I've passed the 55+ age -- I've noticed that if I scratch my skin on my arms, hands %26amp; wrists that my skin tears %26amp; bleeds immediately. Its just as though my skin is paper thin.. whats up with that? HOW do I change, or correct this? I never had this happen until THIS year -- please help! What happens? if I stretch over to pick up something %26amp; my forearm happens to scrape against something, I'm scratched %26amp; suddenly bleeding! Its just as though the top layer of skin just tears open. I often do not even know til I "feel" something %26amp; look down %26amp; there it's been cut %26amp; bleeding and it don't stop right away, not until after applying some pressure for couple minutes or more - then apply band-aid. I'm taking vitamins, eat healthy, haven't done anything different but gained some 20#'s within last 4 yrs. I'm puzzled. I do believe in aromatherapy - lotions - oils %26amp; conditioners ... don't take any medication... have acid reflux, and think I'm a candidate for Fibromyalgia, with my aches %26amp; pains!
What causes "thin" skin that tears %26amp; bleeds easily???
I can suggest a Homeopathic remedy for your condition if you can give me your details specifically your individual symptoms apart from this problem what else do you feel.
Are you feeling worse when you usually wake up in the morning ? And are most of your body pains and aches left sided ?
Please put all of what I have asked and any other details and symptoms you can tell me here and your disorder can be cured without any side effects or any sort of complications !
Take care and God bless you !

Reply:This comes with aging. The older one gets the thinner the skin becomes and cause easy bruising. Nothing can stop this.
Reply:I agree with what the other two said. It comes from growing old. I worked in a nursing home and the eldery residents were very susceptible to skin tears, even from just scratching their skin or bumping lightly against something.
Reply:Have you at any time been on prednisone? This drug makes your skin thin over time and extremely prone to tears from just the slightest thing. Prednisone also breaks down the bones in our body.
Have you ever been tested for any type of bleeding disorder? Bleeding disorders can go by for years even decades without ever being diagnosed. Have an Ivy Bleeding Timed test done. This is how I found out that my daughter has von Willebrand's Disease when she was eight years old. The only reason that it was even suspected then was because I asked about a medication that I take that effects the vitamin K in my blood during surgery and wanted to know if the medication that she was on have the same type of effect on her since she was getting ready to have her tonsils taken out.
Go to your doctor and get a full work up to find out what is going on. Take care.
Reply:Are you taking any medicine such as steroid or aspirin? My mom did takes these as she had heart disease and problem with her immune system. These medicines cause her skin very thin and bleed easily. We have asked doctors what to do and they just advise us to take extra-care.
Reply:I don't think there is a cure or anything but i think if you use lotion to keep it from getting dry on top of it becoming thinner i think that would help. I use olay QUENCH it works good on my dry feet and legs....smells good too!!!

Help! dry skin!! =(?
hiya guys!
my skin's always been a bit dry so i've tried using an exfoliating glove along with a face exfoliator... and i've even used various face masks and for a few minutes my skin is moist and smooth, but then dustflakes appear, almost like face dandruff... i dunno how to fix this problem because even after a shower, it feels unclean and i use cocoa butter which is meant to smoothen skin, but it just dries up again..
what can i do?
thanks!!!
Help! dry skin!! =(?
i think first think try to drink 2L of water everyday because it's healthy
second try to eat fresh fruit and salad a lot
before sleep wipe your body with some natural oil you buy from pharmacy like olive oil or almond oil
if you living in dry air place try to use air steamer in your room or hang your wet clothes around a heater or air-conditional before sleep
Help! dry skin!! =(?
keep on using moisturizer ,it will help ur skin to keep away from dryness and avoid using exfoliator...it might just aggrevate the problem.
Reply:in the morning go for a steam,put boiling water in the basin,and get a towler of the basin so the steam keeps in.stay under it for 5Min's. then wash Ur face with what ever u sue then buy moisturizer dove . or oil of oly
Reply:You could try products by Prescriptives. They have counters at Dillards. It is pricey, but well worth the money.
Before yo u spend any money, you can have a consult with one of the women who work there, and they can recommend what's best for your skin type.
Reply:First of all throw soap out the window. I used to be just like you. I haven't touched a bar of soap in over 11 years. You must go to a body wash specifically for extremely dry skin. That's a start in the right direction. I also use a cream called Lanolelle. I have used that cream for so long now I can't remember when I started using it. My first child, I think. Gawd... 30 years ago. Yikes. I use it straight from the bottle directly onto my skin. After a few days of using these two things, I am quite sure you will be amazed with the results.

Will my Skin become darker...?! Plz Advice!!?
I hav joined swimming classes. i want to know if my skin color will become darker, as the water i swim in, is chlorinated.
the timings of my classes are 6-7 in the MORNINGS.
so there is no sun heat...
does chlorinated water affect the skin in any way, eg, rashes, make it darker etc?
if so, wht should i do to prevent my skin from darkening??!
my natural color is already light brown(tanned). i dnt want to get darker than this!!
Knowledgeable men/women, PLZ HELLPP ME OUT!!!
Will my Skin become darker...?! Plz Advice!!?
well, since chlorine is a bleaching agent, it would not get darker. possibly lighter, but I doubt that as well since it is so diluted. i wouldn't worry about it.
Will my Skin become darker...?! Plz Advice!!?
Chlorine in regulated amounts is safe. It will not change your skin's tone or colour, so don't worry about that.
Some people are, however, allergic to chlorine. Pay attention to your skin if it becomes red or itchy.
If you are concerned about the amount of chlorine used in a public pool, you can ask the people at the help desk. Just express your concerns and they should help give you details of how they clean the pool.
Reply:I have never heard if chlorine darkening skin. The way only way you'd darken is if you spent a lot of time in the sun, which you say you won't be subject to.
You're really, really scared to be a shade darker.
Reply:never heard of water turning ppl darker. Only if ur class was outside in the heat then yes u probably would get darker

My penis skin is uncut?
today i finally almost 99% god my skin to get back but there was like 3 little skin peices attached from my penis skin to the top edge of my penis head. anyone know if this is just for uncuts or i have a problem?
My penis skin is uncut?
this condition is confined to uncircumsized men. it's a simple procedure to correct, without having to be circumsized. see a urologist at your convenience.
My penis skin is uncut?
There's a natural band of skin on the underside of your penis that should be attached (called a "frenulum"). However, there should only be the one attachment -- anything else is probably an adhesion, which shouldn't be there. If you're under 13 now, it might clear up on its own. Otherwise, ask your doctor about it.

Bad, greasy skin - any help??
i dont know if im writing this in hope of a miracle answer, or to just let off steam!
my skin isnt that great.
its really quite greasy but can get dry and itchy
i have bumpy skin, with no major spots, just lots of zits
i dont eat greasy food
i have fruit, veg, lots of water
i dont smoke (at all) or drink (much)
i dont wear make up on my face (i have to use moisturiser (oil free) or my skin gets itchy)
i use simple soap twice and day. and wash my face with water in the middle of the day
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?? i dont think its actually bad enough to ask the doctor..
i just get so depressed about it and feel too embarassed to leave the house.
ive tried sudocrem, witch hazel, tea tree oil, clearasil and other harsh chemicals..please bring on the miracle cure!!!
Bad, greasy skin - any help??
Daily, mix 1 tablespoon of limejuice with cucumber juice and apply it on the skin surface almost half an hour before having a bath. Your skin may be extremely oily and so mix a few trickles of eau de cologne. By treating the skin in this manner, you are not only removing the excess oil from the skin, but also clearing the pores that are present, thus preventing the development of acne.

hmm i think you should switch your moisturizer and start using
hope in a jar
it may seem like just a normal moisturizer
but it's really good at toning your skin
and evening out your complexion
try it out! :D
Reply:Well, the washing the face with just water thing is only drying out your skin. Since your skin lacks moisture, it is producing oils so I would get benzoil peroxide (or however it's spelled) and get a really good moisturizer. Both you could get from a skin doctor.
Reply:You just have naturally oily skin. Many people have this problem. Proactiv has a product called "Daily Oil Control" that I reccomend you use. It stops oil in its ugly tracks! Oh, and make sure to use products SPECIFICALY for oily skin, and a good toner.
Reply:Follow a proper oily skin care routine.
Reply:i have the secret...
STEP 1: get in your car and drive to Nordstrom's
STEP 2: go to the clinique station
STEP 3: but what ever they say
STEP 4: use all the stuff and your face will clear up.
Its the best i had dry and acne skin, but they have great moisturizers and special clarifying make-up,its the best.
Hope this helped!!!

I have good skin now, how do I prevent it later?
I am 13 and I have good skin...of course, I have the occasional blemishes...but no acne. Thank god. But, my brother is 15 and he just started to get really bad skin and my dad had bad skin when he was my brothers age, too. Although my mom didn't have bad skin- I am worried that it will get to be at that point with me. Is there any way to prevent it from coming when I "get older"....any medication?
PS- I wash my face morning and nights and occasionaly exfoliate with my mini microderm...also, i had one facial for my b-day last year...
I have good skin now, how do I prevent it later?
continue washing your face and don't eat sweet fatty food,or greasy food because oil isn't good for Ur skin

Tighten face skin?
I had a very tight and natural skin. 4 years back I suffered from Thyroid and this has losened by skin around the face, areas like cheeks and neck. The Thyroid is not treated and under control, i would now like my facial skin to go back to its original. Is there any natural or home remedy for this. Or do I need to see a dermatologist?
Tighten face skin?
probably a dermatologist who uses natural methods. or diet may help also.

Fair, Sensitive Skin?
I have
-very fair skin
-very sensitive skin
-a few freckles
-a few zits (once in a while)
-slight rosy undertones
what cleansers/lotions are good for my skin type?
Fair, Sensitive Skin?
My mom showed me Philosophy as a moisturizer, and I LOVE it. You use so little, and it almost feels like water. There's no irritation whatsoever and moisturizes beautifully! I recommend it HIGHLY. It's like the water your skin is supposed to retain is replenished right away.
www.philosophy.com
(their site's a little wonky right now though.)
Fair, Sensitive Skin?
PhisoDerm or Cetaphil
Or, just unscented Dove soap (my dermatologist recommends it.)
Reply:I have similar skin conditions and my dermatologist recommended Purpose by Johnson %26amp; Johnson.
Reply:Suds free cleanser like Spectro Jel (soap and fragrance free product) Use a soft 100% cotton gauze as a face cloth. Moisturize with a white pure moisturizer like complex 15, or Dormer 211, which are non-grease, non-fragrance dermatologist recommended products.
Reply:try pro-active system or you can see the clinique counter and they can find the perfect combination for your skin.

Small bump on skin turned into swelling and pain of surrounding area - what is it?
I had a very small bump on the top of the lower section of my finger. It didn't have any discoloration, pain, or itching - it was about the size and shape of a wart (but not 'crusty' like a wart). I didn't think anything of it, until after about 4 days a perfectly-shaped red circle started to develop around it (no texture, only a color change), and the skin between the bump and the circle was pale. It also hurt - not sharp pain, but deep throbbing that felt like it was coming from inside my finger instead of the skin. It swelled a bit but didn't itch.
A few days later, both the surrounding joints are quite swollen (can hardly move the finger as the base joint is so big) and the spot where the original bump was has a circle of itchy, blistered skin around it. The whole finger hurts; the skin problem is near the base, but if i press on something with the tip of the finger that also hurts.
Doctor said erythema multiforme - though it doesn't look right, as the swelling isn't explained
Small bump on skin turned into swelling and pain of surrounding area - what is it?
I'm sure he asked you a bunch of questions like could it be a bug bite? Could you have accidentally pricked yourself with something?
Try going to another doctor if you are not satisfied with this answer you got before. That condition is associated with herpes simplex, maybe you should check more into it and try to get some tests to make sure. You definitely should follow up on this one.
If it is a bug bite it could have gotten infected and could need a serious round of antibiotics. The swelling could definitely indicate you had some sort of allergic reaction and maybe only a hospital could help. They could put you on some very strong antibiotics and maybe some anti-inflammatory drugs or an anti-histamine. If you leave this be, it could definitely become disastrous. Check it out!
Small bump on skin turned into swelling and pain of surrounding area - what is it?
Could it be MRSA? If you work, or are around someone who does, in a hospital, prison, school, or any other place where a lot of people are in one place you may have a methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus infection. Also known as MRSA. If there is a pus like substance that you can extract from the site I would go to the Doc immediately for a culture. This is highly contagious and difficult to get rid of. Bactrim and Hibi-cleanse will usually do the trick but sometimes it comes back. Its Bad news. Ill post an info link below: (Ive been dealing with these "bumps" for 3 years and just got them to go away for good!)
Reply:I would try harder to find a doctor. I'm scared. I you have a spider bite it could be so serious. Go to a doctor who doesn't speak English and let him look at it. It may be something he sees alot. Can you get someone else to translate?
Reply:ok, im not sure what it is however, if it is a bite of some kind there is a burn cream called silvadene cream. You can try that just put it on a wrap it up and give it a couple days and you will see improvement. There is also a salve that draws things to the top of the skin and it is called Prid. It is really dark brown and all you need is a little bit. Wrap it with a bandaid and leave it there for a couple of days and if there is anything in it you will see it on the bandaid. Hope this helps and goodluck.
Reply:Lyme disease is a tick-transmitted infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. Symptoms include an erythema migrans rash, which may be followed weeks to months later by neurologic, cardiac, or joint abnormalities. Diagnosis is primarily clinical, but acute and convalescent antibody titers may be helpful. Treatment is with antibiotics such as doxycycline or, for serious infections, ceftriaxone.

Using DIFFERENT SKIN CARE PRODUCTS?
ok, what do you think about this,
I want to lighten my skin and moisturize it as well, so i use this body lotion that helps. I got very visible stretchmarks on my tummy so I use this strectmarks reducing cream as well. Then I got a scar from a C-section and so I use this scar removing product also. Then it is nessesary to use lotion w/ SPF everyday.
Too many skin problems, too many products.
Using that different product altogether, don't you think it could help me gain the perfect and protected skin I desire?and I'm willing to wait for just about a year only since I was just 18 yrs old.
Using DIFFERENT SKIN CARE PRODUCTS?
No lotion gets rid of stretch marks, only time can do that, so you can bin that one. No lotion will remove a scar, so bin that one. Very frew products do anything to lighten skin...bin that too. You only need a SPF cream on your face, so keep that one. If you are sun bathing a SPF lotion is not enough, you need proper sunscreen.
So just buy a basic body lotion and a separate face lotion, Olay is good but there are many other brands out there;

Ladies..which skin care line is working for you?
I love skin care! And with so many out there it is hard to figure out which one to invest time and money on..Please let me know which skin care line you love and is working for you!
(btw I am 33 y.o. fair combo/dry skin)
Thanks!
Ladies..which skin care line is working for you?
I don't use a particular line, I pick and choose the products that work best!
I have super-oily skin and unfortunately NOTHING has been able to fix that. However, CO Bigelow's Extra Light Face Lotion works fairly well because it contains white clay which absorbs the oil, but is also a moisturizer to prevent my skin from drying out. (If you use products that are too drying, your skin overcompensates and produces MORE oil!). It only keeps my face matte for a few hours, but without it I'm shiny in an hour or less!
I also used to get a lot of clogged pores caused by my oily skin (but not true acne, according to my dermatologist). Several prescriptions worked well for me in the past, but now I've been using OTC products with equal success. The product that really made the most difference for me was Neutrogenia's On The Spot treatment -- it has 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, which is just as effective as the 10% solutions but is much less drying and irritating! I use it every night as a preventative measure, rather than a spot-treatment, and it works just as well as the prescriptions!
I also use Cetaphil cleanser for Normal/Oily skin and it seems to work well enough. Honestly, changing cleansers has never made a noticeable difference in my skin; only things like acne treatments or moisturizers seem to make a difference. So anything that washes the makeup off is fine for me....
For an eye cream I use an Olay product, I forget the exact product name. I only have very minimal fine lines (I am 26) so I haven't noticed much of a difference yet; I'm mainly using it as a preventative measure. I tried a L'Oreal cream once but it burned my eyes, yuck!
Ladies..which skin care line is working for you?
noxema and proactive is the best though
Reply:I love DHC skin care. I am 34 and normal/combo.
www.dhccare.com
The products are elegant, effective, modern, well priced.
Reply:The Papaya Line from Bee-Luscious!!! It's all natural papaya enzymes will balance skin and gently dissolve oils and dead skin. I LOVE this skincare line. It leaves your face super soft and smooth.
Reply:Neutrogena! It is the best!
Reply:I personally love Cliniques 3-step skincare products. They are very gentle to the skin and it provides solutions for all different types of skin.
Try it out!
Reply:I used noxema for about 6 years (my grandma always said it was the best), but just a few weeks ago I switched to Clinique's 3 step. I'm 22 w/combo skin, although Clinique tries to tell me I have dry skin. Their cleanser's do make my face feel refreshed though.. and I kind of glow after using it.
Reply:I've been using Clinique 3-Step System in Dry Combination skin type for about 6 weeks and this stuff actually works. The moisturizer doesn't feel greasy, the cleanser is very gentle for dry and oily skin, and it contains good ingredients.
Reply:I love the Avon Anew Proactive+ line. It would be perfect for you because it is made for people between 25 and 35 years of age. It keeps my skin soft and healthy and I have combo skin as well.

Ladies..which skin care line is working for you?
I don't use a particular line, I pick and choose the products that work best!
I have super-oily skin and unfortunately NOTHING has been able to fix that. However, CO Bigelow's Extra Light Face Lotion works fairly well because it contains white clay which absorbs the oil, but is also a moisturizer to prevent my skin from drying out.

Stumpy and his wife Martha went to the state fair every year. Every year Stumpy would say, "Martha, I'd like to ride in that there airplane."
And every year Martha would say, "I know Stumpy, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
One year Stumpy and Martha went to the fair and Stumpy said, "Martha, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance."
Martha replied, "Stumpy, that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."
The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal, I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's ten dollars."
Stumpy and Martha agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word was heard. He did all his tricks over again, but still not a word. They landed and the pilot turned to Stumpy, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."
Stumpy replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Martha fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."

One sunny day in 2008, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he''''d been sitting on a park bench.
He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton."
The Marine replied, "Sir, Mrs. Clinton is not President and doesn''''t reside here."
The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Hillary Clinton".

There's a teacher in a small Texas town. She asks her class how many of them are Bush supporters.
Not really knowing what a Bush supporter is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raise their hands except one boy--Johnny.
The teacher asks Johnny why he has decided to be different. Johnny says, "I'm not a Bush supporter."
The teacher says, "Why aren't you a Bush supporter?"
Johnny says, "I'm a John F. Kerry supporter." The teacher asks why he's a Kerry supporter. The boy says, "Well, my mom's a Kerry supporter, and my Dad's a Kerry supporter, so I'm a Kerry supporter!"
The teacher is kind of angry, because this is Texas, so she says, "What if you're Mom was a moron, and you're dad was an idiot, what would that make you?"
Johnny says, "That would make me a Bush supporter."

The man is shocked. He asks the doctor, "Is there is any thing that he could do to make the time that I have left more tolerable?"
The doctor thinks for a moment. "There is one thing that you could do".
"Just name it, I''''ll do whatever it is". He tells the man to take alot of mud baths, two or three a day.
The man looks at his doctor asks, "Will that help my condition"?
The doctor says, "No, but it will get you used to the dirt."

A man went to a doctor because he was feeling sick. The doctor said " I have bad news, You have 10 to live". The man said 10 what, 10 weeks, 10 days, 10 months.

A young man was lost wandering in a forest, when he came upon a small house. He knocked on the door and was greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long, grey beard. "I'm lost," said the man. "Can you put me up for the night?"
"Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition. If you so much as lay a finger on my daughter, I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man."
"Ok," said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old as well, and entered the house.
Before dinner, the daughter came down the stairs. She was young,beautiful, and had a fantastic figure. She was obviously attracted to the young man since she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man's warning, he ignored her and went up to bed alone. But during he night, he could bear it no longer, and sneaked into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet so the old man wouldn't hear. Near dawn he crept back to his room, exhausted, but happy.
He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest." "Well, that's pretty crappy," he thought. "If that's the best the old man can do then I don't have much to worry about." He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window and threw the boulder out. As he did so he noticed another note on it that read: "Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle." In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope that was already getting close to the end. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder. As he plummeted downward he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bedpost."

A large, powerfully-built guy meets a woman at a bar. After a number of drinks, they agree to go back to his place. As they are making out in the bedroom, he stands up and starts to undress.
After he takes his shirt off, he flexes his muscular arms and says, "See that, baby? That''s 1000 pounds of dynamite!" She begins to drool.
The man drops his pants, strikes a bodybuilder''s pose, and says, referring to his bulging thighs, "See those, baby? That''s 1000 pounds of dynamite!" She is aching for action at this point.
Finally, he drops his underpants, and after a quick glance, she grabs her purse and runs screaming to the front door.
He catches her before she is able to leave and asks, "Why are you in such a hurry to go?"
She replies, "With 2000 pounds of dynamite and such a short fuse, I was afraid you were about to blow!"
.................................
A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and make love for the first time.
Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some condoms. The pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex.
At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he'd like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all.
That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parents house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh, I'm so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in!"
The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head.
A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his head down.
10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy.
Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, "I had no idea you were this religious."
The boy turns, and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist."

A man goes to his doctor and says, ''Doctor, Doctor, please help me! I've got a problem.'' The doctor examines the man and finds the man has a red ring around his penis. The doctor gives him an ointment to rub on the problem area.
''It's all cleared up!'' the man reports when he returns. ''But what was that medication you gave me?''
''Lipstick remover.''

"Well, that's pretty crappy," he thought. "If that's the best the old man can do then I don't have much to worry about." He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window and threw the boulder out. As he did so he noticed another note on it that read: "Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle." In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope that was already getting close to the end. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder. As he plummeted downward he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bedpost."

A large, powerfully-built guy meets a woman at a bar. After a number of drinks, they agree to go back to his place. As they are making out in the bedroom, he stands up and starts to undress.
After he takes his shirt off, he flexes his muscular arms and says, "See that, baby? That''s 1000 pounds of dynamite!" She begins to drool.
The man drops his pants, strikes a bodybuilder''s pose, and says, referring to his bulging thighs, "See those, baby? That''s 1000 pounds of dynamite!" She is aching for action at this point.
Finally, he drops his underpants, and after a quick glance, she grabs her purse and runs screaming to the front door.
He catches her before she is able to leave and asks, "Why are you in such a hurry to go?"
She replies, "With 2000 pounds of dynamite and such a short fuse, I was afraid you were about to blow!"

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and make love for the first time.
Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some condoms. The pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex.
At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he'd like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all.
That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parents house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh, I'm so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in!"
The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head.
A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his head down.
10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy.
Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, "I had no idea you were this religious."
The boy turns, and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist."

A man goes to his doctor and says, ''Doctor, Doctor, please help me! I've got a problem.'' The doctor examines the man and finds the man has a red ring around his penis. The doctor gives him an ointment to rub on the problem area.
''It's all cleared up!'' the man reports when he returns. ''But what was that medication you gave me?''
''Lipstick remover.''
