I have tried quite a few different brands of mineral makeup, and I find that at least some brands give really great coverage. The coverage level is mostly determined by the amount of zinc and/or titan...

I like using the brushes made by 'too faced'. They are so soft and apply makeup really good, also they're cute so that's a plus lol. Ironically, I've read complaints about certain Kabuki brushes--no...

I had 15 blood clots in my lungs exactly two months after starting the pill. Scary and uncool. Accutane should be a last resort. I was on that when I was a teen and it was horrible. I know they contro...

I'm looking for recommendations of Kabuki-style makeup brushes for the application of mineral makeup. So, please, do tell which brush(es) you prefer and why. Thank you, PI

I'd like to know a few things about mineral makeup: 1) Does mineral makeup provide decent coverage for cystic/nodular acne? (I realize that you can't really cover large lumps and such, but I find it...

I'm wondering if anyone's tried either of these mineral makeup products? I ask because an alleged makeup artist recommended Fairie Organic's mineral makeup to someone on Yahoo! Answers, and a fellow...

A good contingency plan that won't break the budget? Sulphur! ...The one I use is yellow and fluffy, like a mouse. Not sure of the name of it though as I get it fresh in unmarked pots from my skin car...

Microdermabrasion is one of those things that works for some and not others. Personally it was great for me because the products I was using caused a bit of dryness and the microderm was the only thin...

My acne is hormonal, no question. I used to get cystic acne under my jaw-line and in my cheeks. After stopping all oral medication I slowly crawled my way back to clear skin using topicals. I went on ...

there's always the chance that you'll get acne where you revised your scars. are you willing to take that risk? Oh, man... The more I look into the issue of scar revision, the more risky it seems. U...

You can get it done now so you will have beautiful skin, but there is a chance you will end up with scarring once you come off of BC. Are you willing to do it twice? I've had one plastic-surgery con...

My question is premature, as I don't know what type(s) of scar revision would be best for me. Still, here's the scoop: I've been taking BC pills for 14 years. I once stopped taking the Pill for 9 mont...

I'd been using a generic prescription cream that combines sulfur and sodium sulfacetamide. (It costs me $10 per month, which isn't bad; but $4.89 for a jar of de la Cruz is even better. ) Self-corr...

We've visited 4 dermatologists and this 5.00 jar of sulfur is more effective than anything they gave us. The redness was temporary, and now it is smooth sailing. I'm with you, sulfur is wonderful. ...

Have your doctor clarify what he meant when he said subcision causes additional scarring. If he meant additional scarring on the surface of your skin, then this is unlikely. If he meant additional sca...

I wish I could answer your question. It's possible your scars are tethered down at a deeper level and subcision could help. I think you need to find a doctor experienced with subcision for the right a...

Are your scars tethered down? If not, subcision may not be the right approach. A doctor with subcision experience should be able to give you a detailed explanation as to why subcision wouldn't work, i...

When the third plastic surgeon told me that he didn't see how subcision could improve my scars (as he looked at my skin from across the room), I asked him if he had ever done subcision. Thinking back,...

Probably best you don't go back to that doctor. Juvederm very rarely gives permanent results, and for me many like myself, fillers disappear after one or two weeks and do absolutely nothing! The doc...

I'm sorry this happened to you. I think you took the best approach with email, and a follow-up call would be in order if you don't receive a response. Thank you for the vote of confidence. I truly w...

If I hear the "don't judge what you don't understand" cliche one more time, I'm going to throw up. Well, good luck, I gave you all the advice I had. If you're saying that you personally hear that cl...

Don't be a wuss. Call them up and tell them to cancel the claim immediately. A little anger will make any medical staff person back down quickly. It doesn't matter if they've sent it already or not. T...

Update, of sorts: I've e-mailed the office manager of the medical practice, requesting that the claim for my consultation not be sent. I clarified that if it has been sent, I want it to be cancelled, ...

did this doctor advertise that he/she offered free consultations? are you by any chance in the Chicago area? It's not that the doctor's website advertises free consultations, but when I first schedu...

After my consultation with a plastic surgeon today, I was told at the reception desk that a claim would be submitted to my insurance. I told the woman, "I was seen for possible scar revision; I though...
