ShineyStarz answered Monday October 9 2006, 12:19 am: I don't have any cures for the lip thing but for the acne, I do.
Please save your mother the trouble and just wash your face. Commercials just add the SCIENTIFIC words to make it sound more special but when you use it, it's works just the same as other products. The main cure is just to wash your face 2 times a day, 3 times maximun. Don't wash more then that because then your body will work up to make up for the oil and pretty soon you'll have twice the amount of oil on your face which gets more acne [ ShineyStarz's advice column | Ask ShineyStarz A Question ]

I think we only paid like 10 dollars? Just go to the pharmacist or something & ask for it. It bring it all out to start which.. which i hated. But, in like a month.. it was ALL gone. I mean like alllllll gone. hahaha

xxsima answered Sunday October 8 2006, 12:38 pm: I used to have a lot of acne but then I tried the clearisil thing and it cleaned them right up in a few weeks. If your acne is that bad, tell your mom to take you to the dermatologist, your insurance should cover it [if you have it].
Some tips:
- Wear oil free makeup
- Wash your face with soap twice a day [before school, before bed] The reason why washing your face is good for your skin is because 1] it cleans it up. 2] the oil buildup in your pores is what causes acne, but you need to keep your pores clean by washing your face which is how you can prevent acne.
- Don't touch your face
- Wash your hands
About your lips, don't worry about it. People tease because they are jealous. 'Embrace' your big lips. Put on lipgloss and they'll stand out and bring attention to your face [in a good way] [ xxsima's advice column | Ask xxsima A Question ]
FREEZEPOP answered Sunday October 8 2006, 12:26 pm: oh goodness...
if you're acne is that bad, i would say your mom should really take you to a dermatologist, that could be the only thing that could help, and if she doesn't want to pay for the product, then you need to save up your own money, and pay for the product yourself.
by the way, big lips aren't a bad thing :)
everyones different, don't let people bother you. [ FREEZEPOP's advice column | Ask FREEZEPOP A Question ]
XkittyOkatX answered Sunday October 8 2006, 12:19 pm: I'd say to see a dermatologist. Either that, or ask for good reccomendations from your friends. Just remember, that everyone's skin type is different. Also, try using a light weight, low oil cover up. There's nothing really to do with your lips. I'd say to wear a lipstick/gloss that might lighten them.
Just remember, everyone's different, and maybe it's time to embrace your features. =)
AskAndy answered Sunday October 8 2006, 12:07 pm: They are definetly jealous of your big lips. Every girl wants big lips, even celebrities get injections to get what you have so ignore them about that. For the acne, Never go to sleep with makeup on. Wash your face when you go to bed, when you wake upn in the mornings, and when you get back from school. Use mild cheap cleansers that wont dry out your skin too much, but you dont want it really greasy because thats how you get acne. Dont touch your face often. Keep your hands really clean for when you do touch your face. If this fails, get some concealer to hide the flaws [ AskAndy's advice column | Ask AskAndy A Question ]
Samanilla answered Sunday October 8 2006, 11:28 am: So you've tried the expensive way. Tried the cheap, easy way? I know this sounds cliche, but eat more vegetables, less sugar. Try usuing a tad less oily makeup on your face. Make sure you're washing your face at least twice a day. Not working? Talk to your doctor, they know best. And as for your second problem, whoever's teasing you has thier head up thier ass. You see collagen boosting lip products everywhere...but have you ever seen fromulas to make your lips smaller? Be proud of who you are. [ Samanilla's advice column | Ask Samanilla A Question ]
