People need to stop being totally afraid of certain ingredients, particularly Cetearyl Alcohol and Sodium Chloride, as long as they aren't the first ones on the list, I would still try to avoid SLS. ...

Hey guys - totally still using micellar water. The only drawback is that it's not enough to remove heavy stage makeup, so for about a month during the run of my last show, my skin sort of suffered, bu...

ah I see, you think that the warm salt water compression and/or applying ice would help speed up the healing process?   It couldn't hurt.

Well, If you work out in the morning you should just wait to wash your face till you clean up after your workout.   Then, if you work out again (which I'm impressed by) - use a gentle no-water m...

  When I got cysts I would boil some water and sea salt, let it cool to comfortably warm - you don't want to burn yourself - and soak a cotton ball or clean washcloth in the solution, then appl...

I second the above post.   Panoxyl Benzoyl Peroxide Creamy wash followed by Clindamycin in the am, and then using differin at night following a gentle cleanser helped clear my skin. I recognize ...

Hi guys, it's been a while, but I wanted to share my experience using Simple's Micellar Water to "wash" my face and my mostly-complete departure from acne products and traditional face washing using t...

Powder products have a longer shelf life. The only reason I would consider tossing them sooner is if they oxidize (start turning orange). Stuff that goes tightly around your eyes should be replaced ...

Most mineral makeup, if not all, relies on zinc and titanium oxides... you might be better off using a regular foundation, or try to find one that only uses one of those to see if it is the zinc oxide...

Why would I want to put corn starch on my face? also I think if I put cinnamon or cocoa powder I would look like I was attempting to perform in "blackface". No thanks, I'll pass!

I believe it is an injection and it supposedly lasts several years, so I bet a lot of men would take it (my boyfriend included since he is in grad school and can't be saddled with a kiddo right now).

When the FDA approves male birth control, I will consider this article. Until then I'd rather live with blinders on. =( Condoms suck.

  When I switched from Aubra (the generic levonogestern/ethinyl estradiol pill from hell, no thanks, planned parenthood) to Yaz, I did NOT experience an initial breakout. This may have been on ...

I'd rather not get pregnant at this point in my life, and I really do not enjoy condoms, so if I stop hormonal birth control anytime soon, I will be switching happily to an IUD. But I understand your ...

People are just so rude. I wouldn't let it get to you, though that is hard. Luckily for you, you realize how damaging antibiotics can be! Balancing your hormones is a much better plan. Changing your d...

Hi beautiful. Ugh, I totally understand how frustrating and depressing dealing with acne can be. I have been on ACCUTANE TWICE and started breaking out again about a month ago, but guess what? I hone...

For some reason this thread reminds me of the time I was working at a summer camp and we hosted a camp for amputees, and some above-the-knee-amputees were sitting around late at night talking about ho...

Have you ever had a UTI (urinary tract infection)? Most people get other symptoms than the cloudy/bubbly urine (burning, frequent urination) but sometimes you can have an infection without noticing sy...

Hi! congrats on having a baby! I have never been pregnant, so I don't know from personal experience, but I have heard about Belli Skin Care, which is designed and formulated for safe use while pregna...

It could take some more time for your body to adjust? Some people are just really sensitive to changes in hormone levels, even one as small as changing doses. I would suggest using a topical treatme...

It is normal, but it may not be the right combination for you. I would stick it out one more month if you aren't having any other really hard to deal with side effects... I did two months on a pill (A...

dude, y'all - heads up that's not me in my profile picture. That's Marilyn Monroe.
