Surya Cream or Powder
- What's the difference between the cream and powder product?
- Does one last longer?
- How do you use the product, and how long does it have to remain on the hair?
- What happens if the product touches the skin? Does it turn the skin a color?
- I have short hair. Can one package be used more than once?

Is there another brand that you would recommend?

With cosmetics, it seems to be common sense to throw out a mascara after 3 months or a foundation after 6. Is this true or is a marketing scheme to get us to buy more products? I usually toss out stuff if they smell bad, but is there a set deadline of when you should throw something out? Does it matter if a product is in a jar or a pump? Does a pump make the product more "hygienic" or does it just play off today's Lysol culture?

I realize this may all sound like common sense questions, but sometimes I feel it is important to reevaluate our assumptions and see if they are true in the first place!]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/712/ingredients-database Thu, 19 Mar 2009 13:56:07 -0400 celeste821 712@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/715/mink-oil Fri, 20 Mar 2009 19:37:19 -0400 guru90 715@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/711/sensa-weight-loss Wed, 18 Mar 2009 20:59:21 -0400 tsunamino 711@/bbforum/discussions
The thing is, though, is that they claim to be odorless, yet their own chart says that the odors from the product "enhance" your food and make your olfactory nerves signal your hypothalamus that you're full!

Does any of this make sense? I feel like I'm answering my own question here, but I'd like to see what the Beauty Brains think of this one.

Is it possible to recreate this serum at home? Of course, realistically I don't mean to imply making it exactly the with the same ingredients, but something similar?

For me, it's just to good to be true. I mean, c'mon. A facial bar? And what make me curious is how simple this products works. Just lather it in your face for three minutes a day, and then after around one month, you'll get a fresh radiant skin. But there's a downside of this. There will be healing crisis This is the period that the bar is trying to heal out skin. Some will experience peeling, outbreak, dryness, etc. Most will be mild which last from weeks to even month. I frown at this. It doesn't sound right to me. But maybe this is normal?

I'm sorry that it such a long question. But I'm curious about this and I hate to see my friends spend their money for something that maybe just another marketing's hype.

By the way, this is their website
http://www.esabee.biz/products_eumora.html

There's a list of Eumora's benefits there. Sorry, I couldn't copy it.

a friend gave me the ingredient list based on what is written in the box

Disodium lauryl Sulfosuccinate & Sodium Coco-Sulfate & Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Stratch & 1-Octadeconol & Paraffin & C17789, Talcum, Heilmoor Clay, Water & Glycerin & Algae Extract & Polygucuric Acid, Olea Europaea Fruit Extraxt.

Here's the link to the acne.org thread - http://www.acne.org/messageboard/Recommended-Products-R-t14887.html

Here's the product website - http://puredeming.com/products/treatments.html

The ingredients are as follows:

Is packed with Certified Organic Jojoba, Manuka Honey, Deionized Water, Natural Alpha Lipoic Acid (RALA), DMAE, Vitamin C, Tocomin [Natural D mixed Tocotrierols], Pomegranate Extract, Acai Berry, Organic Cranberry Extract, Pure Essential & Fragrance Oils, Optiphen Plus [a paraben free preservative].

Can this be the miracle cure for acne scars? Also, the acne.org forum members are talking about a warming/burning sensation upon applying this. What could cause this? Will this serum harm or help the skin?]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/703/does-liquid-keratin-work Fri, 13 Mar 2009 09:23:14 -0400 fluff 703@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/627/do-nail-polish-base-coats-and-top-coats-really-do-anything Fri, 23 Jan 2009 23:39:54 -0500 K 627@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/687/e-format-for-the-beauty-brains-book-required Sun, 01 Mar 2009 09:38:41 -0500 mo 687@/bbforum/discussions What I really like about Beautypedia is that Paula add new reviews constantly I will get to read those for free for the next 1 year.

I just found out that BB has a book too. As much as I would like to read it, I think in this E age it should at least come as an E Book if not like Beautypedia which is online.
The advantage is that unlike Paula, Beauty Brains are able to answer queries on the Blog as well as the forum.

So, I'm looking forward to your Book as a web based subscription.]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/679/essentiel-oils Thu, 26 Feb 2009 16:46:17 -0500 colourblind 679@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/692/when-should-i-begin-using-a-retinol Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:57:54 -0500 K 692@/bbforum/discussions
