I've recently been doing a search on various products that will help with enlarged pores and broken capillaries, two issues that I suffer greatly from. In my search I discovered various creams from all over Asia that include Oyster Shell Powder as part of their active ingredients. According to some of the websites I've visited, it supposedly shrinks pores and helps improve overall complexion. What do you think? Have you heard of any topical benefits (or benefits in general, as I've seen vitamins with OSP) to using this ingredient?]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/710/clean-your-face-with-bird-poop Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:34:54 -0400 tsunamino 710@/bbforum/discussions
"For centuries in Japan, both Kabuki actors and geishas used uguisu no fun, or nightingale droppings, to clean off their thick white makeup and soothe their faces; apparently, guanine, found in the droppings, helped their complexions. Shizuka’s poop has been sanitized through exposure to ultraviolet light, then finely milled and mixed with rice bran. It’s applied as a mask and costs $180 for a 50-minute treatment."

I am looking for the best tinted SPF forumula you have tried that leaves a matte finish..or at least controls oil. Bonus if it contains antioxidants and skin soothers as well. Oh, and the SPF must contain zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide.



Help me out!

I usually use the 10% glycolic pads in the AM but my AM regimen is getting extensive and so I would like to move the glycolic pads to the PM before applying the Ziana. I also feel like it would be better in the PM as it will remove any last traces of makeup, etc. Will the pH's, ingredients, etc mesh well? Will they both be effective if applied both at night? I am a OSPT btw.



Here are the ingredients of the 10% glycolic pads:



Peter Thomas Roth Gentle Complexion Pads:

Salicylic Acid 0.5 %, Water, Alcohol Denat., Glycolic Acid, Arginine, Butylene Glycol, Witch Hazel Extract, Chamomile Extract, Green Tea Extract, Comfrey Extract, Peach Extract, Whole Leaf Aloe Vera, Allantoin, Fragrance, Triethanolamine.

Cleansers(s)/ Exfoliator(s):

have sensitive, dry-normal skin.

abrasive. Ditto the love above.

Toner(s):
Do not need it.


Face Moisturizer: (s):

Body lotion(s):

The fragrance is not overbearing.

Other(s):
- Neutrogena Oil-Free Oil-Free Acne Stress Control, 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne Treatment: I love this for spot on treatment when my
teenage hormones are raging. Perfect for days when I am particularly pimply!

Sephora sells it for $360 for 1.7 oz.

Here are some of the details:

Le Soin Noir
What it is:
A beauty-renewal skincare cream.

What it does:
Givenchy Le Soin Noir contains an extremely precious, natural age-defying ingredient that will secure its status in you're anti-aging routine. Used for the first time in cosmetics, Vital Black Algae Sap Concentrate restores communication between the skin's cells. Givenchy's researchers have developed a method to infuse this potion with a rare black algae extract to help maintain and prolong cellular longevity. Parched skin drinks in the hydration it needs—leaving your complexion firm, glowing, and even-toned.

What else you need to know:
Vital Black Algae Sap Concentrate is found in the depths of the ocean and reconstructs a catalyst in the skin to counteract the signs of aging. Only Vital Black Algae Sap Concentrate contains these precious black molecules that are extremely rich in vital fatty acids. The result is skin that draws new strength to protect the cells' DNA from light-induced aging and wrinkles as it becomes firmer and restores itself. Smooth it on morning and night to form an invisible barrier that protects against the signs of aging caused by environmental and internal assaults.]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/535/arbonne-re9-rejuvinating-skin-care-line-compared-to-over-the-counter-products Tue, 09 Dec 2008 09:44:32 -0500 Miss Patty 535@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/601/revitol-does-it-work Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:48:31 -0500 kath1118 601@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/550/carrier-oils Wed, 17 Dec 2008 12:12:02 -0500 verdungal 550@/bbforum/discussions Thanks]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/468/great-facial-scrub Tue, 04 Nov 2008 08:09:49 -0500 Fara 468@/bbforum/discussions
However, I do think the product is overpriced. I'm uncertain as to whether the positives compensate for the following:
- Firstly, the scrub is made of sugar and oil - in a moist/humid environment, it will undoubtedly attract mold over time.
- I also noticed, upon returning to Sephora and looking at the sample for a second time, that the product had separated with regards to its consistency - probably due to its composition: it had broken down to the point where you could see the sugar collected at the bottom of the jar and the oil (with a bit of granulation) sitting on top.

All in all, it seems to me that the best option would be to make one at home - but not too much of it each time as it obviously doesn't 'age' well. I do recommend giving it a try - it really feels amazing. I have dry, very sensitive skin and this scrub left it feeling soft and silky smooth :)]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/537/hair-conditioner-as-body-moisturizer Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:55:36 -0500 mo 537@/bbforum/discussions The question is, why isn't there any BODY conditioner that can be used all over after a shower gel? This could save us the trouble of slathering the moisturizer afterwards. Even if we do moisturize, the all over conditioner would still help a lot in increase the moisture levels.

Is there any all over conditioner available out there ?]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/529/dead-sea-anti-aging-face-body-creammudscrubsoap...
