advice

i know its a bad idea to pop a pimple, but what is the safest way to do it so that it won't cause more acne or scar?

its tempting,but chances are,you WILL scar-it only takes 5-10 days for a big pimple to clear up.i agree with the person below me RetinA(is for VERY serious acne only perscribed by doctors--its awesome though) BenzolPeroxide(weaker than retinA),for less serious acne-i use this-it Works wicked good,it may take a while but its the main reason why most acne medications work.Acne Free- i also use this-and its really great,i have almost every product from them its just like proactive only 30 dollers less!all popping causes more acne-i used to use tweasers-but-eh-dont pop!

I'm 13, I've had very oily skin since I was 10 *including the black heads and pimples* I've tried so many products such as clean & clear, noxema, ponds, clearisil, (all those otc products) but nothing works to clear it up. I want to go to the derm. but we have no money for it, there for no money for Proactive either. What should I do, is there anything yall recomend ?

i really recommend-benzol peroxide 5% acne gel.it takes a while to work,but its in all of those expensive skin care products (benzol peroxide is the main thing in all acne medications) its a percription though-you just have to go to your doctor,not a derma. or try this http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=137689&catid=76145&trx=PLST-0-CLOSE-MATCHES&trxp1=76145&trxp2=137689&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY-PLST-0-CLOSE-MATCHES
it seems to work on most people ^.^
i hope i helped you~ good luck :)

i have ugly white heads, black heads and these white bump thingies all over my face. theyre digusting. without them id actually be pretty but when they finally go away they come right back! ugh its so annoying and disgusting. i feel like no one can look at me without think 'ewww' please help

white heads-use ice,7-15 mins a day.
black heads-reading at another question like this,Panasonic EH2511 sucks blackheads right out of your nose-painless and works-w/ mist sprayer
its blue,it comes with a charger(im going to try and find it..hopefully it'll work) its most likely at drugstores thogh.heres what it looks like http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=137689&catid=76145&trx=PLST-0-CLOSE-MATCHES&trxp1=76145&trxp2=137689&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY-PLST-0-CLOSE-MATCHES
and also for acne ^^

i hope this helps you ^.^

hey i was going to get my hair done (colored) a certain highlight of blonde. The kid of blonde i want is NOT very "yellowish?" haha sorry i dont know how else to describe it...i think it is a really light blonde, but how would you describe this to a hair dresser? (color not highlight type)
Thanks :)

maybe your going for about 2 shades darker than platinum blonde (which is very very blond..like ashlee simpsons hair--)

hey, well my class is going to canobie lake park on june 5th. i need something GORGEOUSLY ADOREABLEY CUTE to wear to it. does anyone have any ideas of what stores i can shop at, or what kind of items i should buy, or even what exact item? links would be awesome = ]. cait♥

ok,well last year i went there on a feild trip (so fun!)but ok , your going to get wet if you go on this REALLY fun ride,and im positive everyone will go on it,thats basically the main ride everyone remembered,it was so fun!)anyways,DONT WEAR WHITE! :) wear a skort with a tanktop,its simple,and cute.i dont think your should wear sandals/clogs though,they'll fall off on some of the rides.any for stores,it doesnt matter,just whatever you like to wear,but i think you should try and find a skort,or shorts at least :).wear some earrings that you dont /really/ care about,incase you loose them.waterproof makeup (definatly.)

i found a really cute tanktop if you want to check it out -http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10251_10201_278121_-1_12607_12552
(i like it in red or blue :) )

idunno,whatever you want really :)!!
good luck! have fun :)

Well, at school i think everyone seems to think of me as a bit quiet, a bit shy ...... etc.
Thing is, i dont want them to think of me that way.
Tonight theres a school disco and i love discos, i dance alot, chat, and have a great time, but im not sure what to wear, and i was wondering what type of hair/makeup/outfit would make me appear fun, exciting and confident.
If you have any ideas, please tell me some makeup looks, hairstyles and clothes that would give that image.
The discos tonight, so i would like some anwers before then, but if its after still tell me because it would be good to know for future.
Thanks, xxx

Well,my best advice is to find a shirt thats cute and has writeing on it(so its not boring/to plain).Try finding a shirt that looks awesome on you,shows that your confident (like choose a tank top kind of shirt,not to much skin but not to little :D)and that has something that reminds you of disco! Try stores (if you have them) 7fox,and deb,they have really good clothes for dancing (i got a shirt that says babygurl,and i wore one that says bling baby bling to a dance!) something unique,and just -out there-,you kno?what i usually do is when i find two or three things that i really like,and look good on me,but i cant decide--i pick the one i wouldnt normally pick.just to switch it up and surprize people :).


For bottoms-tight jeans or if you want to be flirty a skort(or a skirt,but i think skorts are better when your dancing around) :).

i'd eaither wear hair scrunched parted to the side (maybe a zig-zagg part),or half-up/in a ponytail straitend and have two stands of hair handing down.the reason i dont wear my hair straighted and down is because i sweat when i dance,and my hair will curl and look bad,so scrunching it will be a lot easier!

makeup-it depends on your outfit,and eye color.i cant tell you the shawdow,because that depends on eye color/outfit.but i'd water proof mascara that adds length and a little volume to the eyes.brownish-black eyelier on the top and bottom lids.a type of sports light coverup (so when you sweat,if you do, it wont come off) and also make sure that its the kind that doesnt clog pores.:)a little,tiny bit of blush (you dont have to have it though,only for shimmer)and a really glossy lip (clear)

and last but not least,find some really nice semi-big earings to match the shirt you pick out!!

i hope you have fun!! :)

ok so their is this boy we can call him j and i REALLY like him. i am thinking about going out with him but my parents would freak out because hes mixed (white and black) and im white. their not racest or anything. they just disagree with me going out with a black/mixed/any race other then white person because they think that putting mixed children situation is wrong. i of coarce STRONGLY disagree! i think that it shouldnt matter what race you are. so as i was saying i want to go out with j but should i really go agenst what my parents say AND not tell them im going out with j?

what should i do??

please HELP!

..forget about your parents opinion.they think (probably) that "oh..he's part black he must be a thug"(very steo-typical.)hmmm..which isn't the case( i doubt..)it really shouldnt matter the race,and if you like him then nothing in this world will change that,your parents have an opinion and so do you.you said they disagree,but they cant forse you to stay away from him(well,i dont really know your parents..but keep it on the down low if u go out w/ him)i think you should go against your parents on this one..i no you really,really like him,but its not like this will be "to the end forever and ever,no matter what"they have to accept the people you go out with,they're being to jugemental.you just have to,well,not tell them if you want 2 go out with him..some things aren't ment to be told to parents..this is one.
anyways,good luck and i hope things turn out rite!!!!

Where can i get a clarinet?

I'll rate high):

Any music store really,but you want to know what kind to get.A yamaha is the best,i've had mine for 4 years (and it still works great) yamahas are about 500-600 $,but there definatly worth it.Umm..i dont think clairnets would be any cheaper though :o.I highly recommend a yamaha,but you could check out other brands like yamahas.you should try getting a payment plan for a monthly thing,it takes a long time to pay it off.my mom just payed it off last year,it took 2 years to pay off if you do it this way.it was only 20 $ a month or somthing around that.i hope i helped! :)

drink a lottt of water! and then,for about 10 mins or so at night rub ice cube on your face (it tightens pores) Make sure your pillow is clean(wash the cover 1nce a week) look for home remedies on google.dont eat greasy foods!! medications like wei east (herbal stuff) or maybe shea butter (is pretty good) works best (its natrual)it takes about 1 week to kick in,like all face things.go to your doctor and have him/her perscribe a medication! i hope i helped!! you'll grow out of acne,

like me and tess always talk and she always tells me she likes me and i asked her out today and she said no and im like wtf?!? you say you like me but you wont go out with me and i think its cuz im black but i dont wanna say anything to make her get mad because im in luv with her. Help

*names have been changed

i cant believe that whole deal w/ the racial thing is still going around.she might like you,but isn't ready for a relationship.maybe theres a lot more things on her mind than you know.did she say no fast,or did she wait to think it out a little more?if she did wait,she probably does care but cant have a relationship right now.if she said no of the top,im guessing all those times she said she liked you was a just fake and she just wanted to see if you liked her.you definatly have to talk to her about it,but dont act mad.she might like you,but doesnt love you.im just thinking of all the possibilities,but im not her so i have no idea why she said no!she might come around when she doesnt have anything on her mind.*maybe* think,is there any other boy she likes?mayb she likes him more,and is wating to see if he likes he back.But whatever the case,sry,but there'll be other girls...u kno?you have to think "do i realllyy,truthfull love her?"

gooood luck !!!!!!!!

Hey are there any invigorating body scrubs or facials that can be made from ingredients in your own home? I want stuff like:
1. dry heat damaged hair
2. Greasy skin
3. spots
4. Visible Pores
5. dry, rough feet
6. bad circulation in hands
7. good nails

anything to make you feel refreshed and pretty..:-)

Dry/Damaged Hair Remedies- Don't hold the mayo. "Mayonnaise makes an excellent conditioner," a regular mayo bath--once a week or so. Put a dollop in the palm of your hand, then work it into your hair for at least five minutes before washing it out. (The preferred time for a full-blown mayo treatment is an hour)
If mayo is a little too messy for your taste, you can still get help from the flip-top section of your refrigerator. "Beer is a wonderful setting lotion that gives a crisp, healthy, shiny look--even to dry hair," Pour some of the brew into an empty pump-bottle. Then spray it onto your hair after you've shampooed and towel-dried but before you blow-dry or style. And don't worry about smelling like a lush-the odor of the beer quickly disperses.
If you must shampoo daily, use a brand that's labeled "for dry or damaged hair," Among the shampoos recommended are DHS, Neutrogena, Pert Plus, Ionil and Purpose.

2.Greasy Skin-1) Make a puree of fresh tomatoes, apply to the skin 2) Beat together 1 egg white, 1 tsp spirits of camphor, 1 heaping Tbsp skim milk powder and a scant drop of essential oil of mint. First apply a thin film of odorless castor oil to the skin , then apply a thick layer of the egg white mask. Lie back for about 15 minutes. Wash off with warm water, then rinse with an apple cider vinegar and water solution or witch hazel.

3.Sorry...you mean age spots?or...?sorry,i dont understand.

4.Basically the same thing as #2.Greasy skin ties along with the whole visible pore thing.

5.
Foot Scrub (For rough, dry, calloused, or weary feet)

1/4 cup (59 ml) ground oatmeal
1/4 cup (59 ml) cornmeal
1 tablespoon (15 ml) sea or table salt
Essential oil of lemon or peppermint
Moisturizing cream or lotion
Spring or tap water
Prep time: 5 to 10 minutes
Mix with: spoon and small bowl
Store in: A large batch of the dry mix could be made, stored in a
zip-seal bag, low tub/jar, or tin and kept in the bathroom.
Yields: 1 treatment

6.for some reason,the only thing i could find for this was to take vitamins. Sorry!

7.hmmm...once again,the results showed these "hair,skin,and nail" vitamins to use.hmmmm..sorry again :(

but gooood luck!! i hope these work!

Hey has anyone got any techniques to make eyes look more oval and upward slanting (oes it make any difference if you put it over the top lashes? if so I need insructions lol), and also to suggest eyeliners that stay on throughtout half the day at least.

ty luv rach xxx

well,it looks great on the top,yes putting it on the top gives your eye more defience and"pop".=)

ok,for the top- pull your top eyelid so its straight,so, you would pull the corner of your top lid (the corner near your nose) outward.and the corner (near your ear/hair) out ward also. (its tricky,you can only use one hand!)

Next,grab the eye liner you want,(pencil is best**) and start in the middle of the lid.Work your way across the eye till you get to one of the corners.then stop.

then put your pencil back in the middle and do the same for the other side.you decide the thickness of the line :).

Club A works great,also Victorias Secret and Clinique.

to make the eye look more oval shaped lightly line the bottom and the top.I was thinking,if you want to try it,instead of just stopping at the corner(the one near you ear)go outward just a LITTLE more on the top and bottom.And dont use a black (its too overwelming),use either a brown* or a brown/black color.

Hey i am really skinny but the thing is I eat properly (vegetables, meat etc)n sometimes induldge myself with chocolate or chips or anything i can find but i never get fat. Its damaging my self esteem and I dont dare to wear short sleeved tops or a bikini or anything.

Is there anything that can help me be more evenly proportioned- Ive heard of fattening milkshakes but I dont know how they work or if they work..

ty luv rach xxx

Don't Worry,im in the same boat!! My mom is starting to have my drink a milkshake everyday (she said with in two months i would notice somthing) So,im taking her word for it.But it might also be because you dont have your period. (but if you do have it...then that defeats that theory)I dont,so im thinking when i do i will gain weight.Like the other girl said,our metabilsm's are much faster. Maybe,theres a pill that will slow down the metabilism?Pills arent to great though.Well,if it get serious,ask your doctor.This could also be genetic (which is also partly in my case,my whole family is skinny on my moms side)Im sorry i couldnt giev you an exact answer :(
but go0o0o0o0o0od luckk!!!!

ok well im punk and i really wanna dress punk and like i wanna start dressing punk not goth but my mom is not really likeing it but o well what are some styles to be punk other the wearing black and having converses cuz i do that already and i rate 5s

Well,studded things are punk,but most of the people i know that are into the punk style make there own clothes,or buy things they like jackets(weather its preppy or anything) then they'll change it into what they really like,(add studs,designs,anything like that.) i cant really tell you any stores that i know of punk clothes,because its really original type of clothing,everyone is different. try hottopic (which every single other peorson would say) but it is easiest to find things there,rather than other stores.colors - pink,black,crimson,white.(more,its all up to you,you make your own style)
hair styles are usually (from what i see) are either spikey layers with streaks.or short hair.but its your style,so we cant really tell you what to do :).make somthing different up:)!!

is lake water bad for acne?

it depends on your skin.
when i went swimming in a lake (for about 3 days straight,2-3 hours)i didnt get acne at all.In fact,that was the time that i had no acne.Its not too much to worry about,water is water :).
still if you think you'll get acne from lake water,wash your face befor and after you go in the lake :)

[view]


my skin gets dry pretty easily. so after washing my face at night and putting an acne medication on, i will wake up in the morning and simply put makeup on without washing my face first. is there any harm in this?

Yes,there is some harm if your skin it the type that get pimples.It'll most likely give you a higher risk of getting acne.At night,you should put your acne medication on,then moisturizer.over night,the things on your bed and pillow will go on your skin.Thats why in the morning,you have to either wash your face with soap and water,or an acne medication.(to stop from getting clogged porse,which lead to acne!)Lightly moisturize,then put on your makeup.Some makeup will say on the bottle "cleanse skin before applying". But,if your acne medication you use at night is very strong,and you dont have oily skin around your nose when you wake up or throught out the day,you might want to use water befor applying any kind of make-up.
i hope i helped!! :)

you just answered my question and said to get a perm. and how much are perms? and people are telling me that whenever they get a perm their hair is like wayyyy too curly like an afro even when they tell the stylest just for a few waves. all i want is a few waves just so its not pin straight!! are their perms like that? thanks.

Truthfully,it depends on what salon you go to,how intence you want the waves,and what style you want it for the cost.You can get many kinda of perms,but make sure you ask for the right kind! The stylist must have been not to good at it with those people,but just in case you get one,but specific as you can be!I dont think that a perm will give you few waves,but they do give you VERYY soft curls.the range is from big natural curls or tight spiral curls. http://womensbeautylife.com/albums/Long_hair/long_blonde_big_curl_natural.thumb.jpg
^^(big curls,but you could ask the lady to do them looser than that,and it should come out to waves)and with your straight hair,that should come out as loose waves(depending on the stylist).also remember,if you use diff. shampoo and conditioner the perm will fall out gradually,which would probablyalso look like loose waves.(so for instance,if i got medium spiral curls,after a while i would have loose spiral curls) (it takes a while for the perm to come out)Also,just to add,my hair was very straight,until i got layers.Now my hair is very wavy.that might not be the same for you,but just to add in :)
i hope i helped!!
good luck !!
