Even if potassium does absorb through the skin, a soap that contains green tea (not a shabby source of potassium, actually) would contain so little and be washed away so quickly that any ad copy that suggests a health benefit would be utter rubbish, right?]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1452/vii-o2m-oxygen-eye-mask Tue, 11 May 2010 21:23:01 -0400 osheri 1452@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/642/why-we-need-to-use-toner....

I am also concerned about daily use. I used to scrub daily until i read online at http://www.drhauschka.com/about/7-facts/
that scrubbing strips natural protection. Since then I decided not to scrub daily "until further notice" :D
So are any scrubs suitable for daily use, and it is better to scrub or wash with exfoliation daily anyway or the less frequent the better??
On the same page they mentioned avoiding night creams? How much of that is true??]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1391/deodorants-are-they-all-the-same Mon, 19 Apr 2010 06:57:23 -0400 mandysue 1391@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1387/ageless-reflection-sold-at-limited-walmart-stores Fri, 16 Apr 2010 12:18:25 -0400 klgrassia 1387@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1386/ageless-reflection-at-walmart-stores Fri, 16 Apr 2010 12:12:49 -0400 klgrassia 1386@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1380/meladerm-creamis-it-ok-to-use Tue, 13 Apr 2010 13:16:58 -0400 leeam 1380@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1364/how-good-are-derma-md-products Tue, 06 Apr 2010 08:24:11 -0400 Donna Leer 1364@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1300/how-can-i-prevent-and-treat-milia-around-my-eyes Sun, 07 Mar 2010 05:46:19 -0500 Cinderella 1300@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1332/home-glycolic-peel Mon, 22 Mar 2010 07:47:51 -0400 raleighmolly 1332@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1259/overview-of-knowledge-and-advice-needed.-thanks Mon, 15 Feb 2010 17:30:53 -0500 kspax 1259@/bbforum/discussions
I have some skin discoloration (brown spots) and then a few spots where my skin is alot lighter than everywhere else. I also, at least in my opinion, to have overall unhealthly looking skin maybe a little dry or damaged from the tanning I don't know exactly. I might just even be being to critical, I have no clue. But I guess given the above problems, and assuming I do have little or dry damaged skin:

What are some good skin care/repair products i could use? From what I've read Olay is widely accepted as the best or one of the best. And are their products that will actually repair the skin damage and are cosmetic as well to help make skin look and be more healthy and evenly toned?

What kind of diet could I impliment? Multi vitamin?

What's your guys take on Phytessence wakame, Cynergy TK, etc? Do they really help repair/rebuild collagen and more?

A good sun screen/block product (whichever is better)?

Is it truely beneficial to moisturize everyday if you don't have dry skin?

I'm kind of desperate for answers lol and been really bothered that I have to live with whatever results my mistake of tanning brings.]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1320/hot-cloth-facial-cleansers Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:24:59 -0400 aggy 1320@/bbforum/discussions Does is mean they are all pretty much the same and the secret is in washing with cloth dipped in hot water, following with cold to close the pores? I am sure they differ according to ingredients in them, but is it worth paying for Eve Lom if I can use Soap and Glory to do the same job?]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1195/best-ingredients-to-treat-hyperpigmentation-and-redness Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:39:45 -0500 darkeyes 1195@/bbforum/discussions Though I don't have acne anymore, I still have a lot of hyperpigmentation and redness from the acne I used to have. I have been using a specific skin care regimen religiously since I ended my treatment...and some of the redness and hyperpigmentation has faded away, but I still have a lot.
Here's is what I use. Let me know if you know of any products that really helped you in this area. I also have heard vitamin c serum is great .
Morning:
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum (contains NIACINAMIDE)
Nia 24 Sum Damage Prevention SPF 30 (contains 5% NIACIN)
 
Night:
Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream (contains RETINOL)
Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum (contains NIACINAMIDE)

Is it because my skin tolerates to the moisturizer?]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1100/washing-my-face-causes-breakouts- Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:19:32 -0500 kira_girl 1100@/bbforum/discussions
I haven't tried any products from the higher end lines (like Clinique), but I'd be open to it. I've heard people say that your skin just has to "get used to" a product and then the breakout will clear up, but I am not willing to wait for that. I tried Proactiv for nearly a month and hated looking at myself in the mirror because of those nasty, red pimples. :(

Any help would be appreciated--this is driving me crazy!!]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1261/what-goes-on-first Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:19:26 -0500 darkeyes 1261@/bbforum/discussions Which one should I put on first?
I know serums usually go on first but I also want to reap the maximum benefits of the differin cream... I'm confused...what should I do?

My question is, just how do you make the skin "firmer". What makes it firmer? The only thing that I can think of is by creating a mild edema (which may or may not be good).]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1036/are-products-by-lush-safe Wed, 07 Oct 2009 08:34:05 -0400 nafisa amjad 1036@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1184/my-eyebrows-have-changed-to-white-colour-because-of-vitligo-problem.-is-it-safe-to-dye-my-eyebrows- Sun, 10 Jan 2010 09:36:42 -0500 karthigao 1184@/bbforum/discussions http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/179/when-you-say-your-skin-is-sensitive.....

Just wondering what most people think.

I recently started using soap from Bio-Botanicals (http://www.bio-botanicals.com/soap.html) It was on clearance at Pier-1, so I bought a couple bars...not sure if bar soap is the best thing to wash your face with, seeing as it has been drying out my face and then becoming very oily when i wake up in the morning.

My mom always used Noxzema and still has amazing skin. A lot of other people rave about Original Noxzema and how wonderful it is. So I guess i'm just seeking more opinions, who uses it, and if it helps acne or aggravates acne...because at this point I am frustrated with facial cleansers and should probably find a cheap replacement from bar soap, as I have heard is not good to wash your face with.

Noxzema Ingredients: Water, Stearic Acid, Linum Usitatissimum (Linseed), Seed Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Fragrance, Ammonium Hydroxide, Camphor, Menthol, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Propylene Glycol, Gelatin, Calcium Hydroxide

Kinda strange that it doesn't contain any "parabens"...and doesn't really have a lot of ingredients. I guess that's a good thing.]]> http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1106/spf-for-face-and-lip.-i-need-opinions Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:18:27 -0500 darkeyes 1106@/bbforum/discussions 1) A tinted moisturizer with UVA/UVB protection and an SPF higher than 15
2) a tinted lip balm with UVA/UAB protection
 
Help me find good products that fit these requirements! :)]]>
