because I keep seeing threads lately about people wanting to know how to properly care for their skin, how to eliminate acne, what skin type they may have, why their face is so greasy, and ...just about everything. I don't really know if anyone has any questions about anything including the thread title or the like, but I can answer just about every question you have from getting rid of all of the acne you have, to fading scars fast, to what products to use in your hair, to your skin type, to how to do your makeup, to clothing that makes you look thinner and even what you should and shouldn't eat. if you have any questions I'd love to answer them, but if you don't that's fine as well. just extending the offer since I know sometimes people have questions, and maybe I could help you rather than you having to make a thread or spend hours online or making appointments with doctors for simple things. so, any questions? Please feel free to ask any and all questions you may have in either this thread or in a Private Message to me. just as last night, thank you for the questions and working with me to answer your questions in a way you feel is satisfactory it may sound like an answering machine or company answer, but I do wish to pursue a career in makeup, and getting questions like these helps it not only helps me because I can help people with problems that I would have never thought of, but also helps me learn to work better with people as well as to know what to recommend and common questions and answers. so thank you for that. just as last night, if you have any questions or comments about anything, please feel free to ask them in either this thread or in a PM to me personally I will answer all questions, no matter how small or large they may seem. if this thread dies or you feel like maybe you won't get an answer in this thread, please feel free to PM me and I can work with you personally. night, and I'll be back tomorrow. good luck, and I wish you quality skin ♥

How do you fade scars fast, like you said? I usually don't get acne, but when I breakout, I usually get scars on my cheeks for some reason (without even "popping" the pimple =/).

Two questions: How do you stop your skin from making too much oil? Everytime I wake up, my face is just freaking disgusting. Surprisingly, I don't have acne at all. I just have a terribly shiny face. Second, instead of acne, I have small bumps on my face where if I squeeze them, hardened blocks of oil (dirt? idk) pop out. What the heck is it and how do I get rid of them?

[quote] begrma : I got a ton of stretch marks. Is it reverseable? [/quote] cocoa butter tends to work to at least help eliminate the appearance of stretch marks, but it's not completely reversible the only way that you can prevent stretch marks is through the same method, but since you can't do that now, you'z screwed I would recommend getting scar creams since those tend to eliminate discoloration on the body the easiest, they help fade the appearance as well and the cocoa butter could help a lot with that as well. [quote] infiniteIQx : How do you fade scars fast, like you said? I usually don't get acne, but when I breakout, I usually get scars on my cheeks for some reason (without even "popping" the pimple =/). [/quote] if you want to fade scars on your face in particular, you need to break up the scar tissue that remains there can you tell me the coloration of the scar on your skin? because it's possible that you have different forms of acne which can cause scars to appear easier than normal acne. a lot of products like clinique's even better skin corrector can fade the lines on your face and keep them from appearing as easily in about...a month or two? having a facial mask done like queen helene's mint julep formula can also help with that, because like exfoliating it eliminates dead skin cells on the surface of your skin which helps fade the marks a looot. [quote] ViolinFTW : How the hell do I have zits that form in a day . Is it hereditary? [/quote] heredity does dictate acne quite a bit, but can you tell me what you eat and where the acne appears? [quote] sonikuboy : Uhhhh, what do you recommend foundation wise for summer babes? I want quite good coverage but im scared my face is gonna melt off. That and im scared im gonna break out like crazy after wearing it. [/quote] babes dry skin, combination skin, or oily skin? or do you know which you have?

[/quote] first question: do you shave in the mornings, do you take a shower at night, and do you tone your skin? please answer so I know what's goin' on ahaha second question: it sounds like you just have an oily face in general and because of which have large pores, which do collect oil and sebum and can cause that sort of thing. how often do you wash your face, or do you? and with what if you do?

[/quote] I didn't know you have anemia, I feel your pain well it sounds like it is, because taking vitamins that can help stimulate the blood flow in your body and the skin's natural stuffz can help quite a bit but it is difficult to completely get rid of it if the cause is something like anemia, which can be cured, but really does depend on the case D: [quote] sonikuboy : I'd say Combination/Oily. [/quote] well if you have combination to oily skin, I'd definitely go with a powder or mineral foundation for starters if your skin is so oily that you can't apply a moisturizer underneath your makeup then I would DEFINITELY stay away from moisturizers that have oils in it, because that will just mess you up and cause your makeup to slip and slide all over your face. however mineral and powder foundations stay in place a lot easier, and if you naturally have oily skin it just glides on your face naturally. if you applied a loose powder after the foundation as well you could easily avoid any issues. what range in price were you looking for? if more expensive, I'd go with makeup forever powder foundation , if cheaper I'd go with something like maybelline's pure stay powder foundation.

Is there aything I can do to keep my hair straight? It's naturally straight with a little bit of a wave in it, so I straighten it every morning. But usually after an hour of two, it gets a little wavy. I have really thick hair too.
