Im going on 16. i have basically quite rough skin with quite many blackheads on my nose and recently *gasp* on my cheeks. I thought my skin used to be dry but now its abit oily when i touch it (more oily on nose) and especially oily when i put on moisturizes and night cream. so is it good or bad now? Also, i only used to have pimples on my T-zone but now its more concentrated on my cheeks. help. is there something wrong with the products i use or is it just puberty? Does your skin type actually changes?
Everyday, i only use an exfoliator, cleanser and apply moisturiser straight away. will my acne problems be solved after i use a toner?
Im quite sceptical about toners as my friend says some can worsen your face? Is is better will no alcohol and how do you see if you have large pores. Thankyou!
What is my skin type?! and what kind of toner should i use?
You have combination skin which requires a special cleanser you can buy one at the chemist ask there advise you want go wrong, remember you will grow out of teenage years soon enough and your skin will thank-you for taking extra care, wash off any makeup your wear before you go to bed at night and all ways (do not) repeat (do not squeeze them blackhead's) or you will end up with scares enjoy your teens your only young once
What is my skin type?! and what kind of toner should i use?
You sound like you have combination skin: Oily around your nose and cheeks, and dry elsewhere.
It's probably just puberty, as you guess. Keep your face clean and it should clear up.
Good luck!
Reply:You didn't state what brand of products you are using.
1) If you are broken out,, DO NOT EXFOLIATE.
2) Use all the same product line. Lines are made to work together. If you use different ones they can actually react to each other %26amp; cause problem with your skin.
3) A big mistake people have in skin care is using too strong of products, which irratate the skin causing break out. Using products for the wrong skin type.
4) Always use a fresh clean wash cloth(daily) on face %26amp; not one you use on your body.
5) Make sure you change bedding regularly
6) Keep hair clean..it might be allergy to hair products breaking you out too.
A toner helps close pores %26amp; cleans off cleanser residue,but use one that is for you skin type. It may be different in the winter than the summer.
Yes, your skin can change. Hormones, Time of year, Food we eat. lack of rest %26amp; stress, all contribute to changes.

Hard Skin on Heel of the foot?
From wearing bad shoes or probably walking badly I have rough skin at the back of the heel. Any idea how I treat this, do I go to a specialist? Its not veruka, just rough skin
Hard Skin on Heel of the foot?
Soak feet then use a pumice stone. Body shop sell a brilliant peppermint foot lotion and not expensive
Hard Skin on Heel of the foot?
You need to buy a Pumice stone.
Cheap if you buy from your local supermarket
Reply:Pummice stone will get rid rough skin
Reply:Use old fashion mineral oil soak in warm water to open the pours and massage in mineral oil daily
Reply:cover the skin with vaseline then put on a pair of socks, just before you go to bed. In the morning you should have lovely soft feet.
Reply:Garnier Foot Cocoon is what you need, its a cream specially designed to soften hard skin. It's also very cheap.
Good thing about this product is you only need to use it at night so you wont be slipping around all day if you use it in the morning cause you dont have too.
Reply:Buy a pedicure kit from boots or of the internet, you can rub a cream in, then scrape it of with the tools in the kit. Its ugly isn't it...... that or do what I do, Go get a nice Pedicure from the parlour, treat yourself and have a pamper day.
Reply:This is a very common complaint -Use a foot file then a softening balm
Reply:Lots of lotion..At night you can put vasoline on your heel lots and sleep with socks on and the next day use a foot file (they have them in the beauty isle in like walmart) And file it away or you can take a bath soften skin and file it away thats all and lots of lotion.
Reply:um wear good shoes?
Reply:there are different foot creams you can use. first soak your feet in warm water with a foot moisturizing solution for about 10 minutes. then you have to rub the hard skin off with a foot scrubber ( feels very sandy). once you have done that you can apply the foot cream and leave it on untill it dries off. you will need to do this often because you will not see solutions right away. you can get all this in AVON.
Reply:That's normal. It's just cause by walking everyone has it. You'll get it no matter what shoes or sandals you wear. You don't need to go to a doctor to fix it. Just go to the drug store or any beauty supply store and buy a pumice stone. I keep mine in the shower and whenever I feel my feet getting too rough I grab it the stone, wet it and rub it on the rough spots. Your skin will become nice and smooth.
If you want to pamper yourself a little bit, go get a pedicure. They will do this for you and then you can see how it's done.
Reply:Lisa T is right, I did this for a few days and it worked great. Also in the morning after you shower put some vaseline or lotion on your foot before you put your socks and shoes on so that your will stay soft.

anytime a mole has iregular coloring in pigmentation and or is itchy / flakey it should be checked. better safe then sorry.

My skin is peeling all over my body... why?
All over my body my skin is peeling.
This has happened twice before, but I never really thought about it.
It itches a little, and when I get it wet (like in the shower) and rub it, the particles stick together and it rubs off greyish in little rolled up chunks.
I havn't been using any new products, and havn't changed how long I've been out in the sun or anything like that.
It happens all over my body- my arms, legs stomach, face.
When it "peels" off underneath is a little red, but not sore and goes away after a while.
I'm asking why this is happening, if I have a disease or if it is normal.
The part that bugs me is where I can't reach on my back. It itches a bit but I can't get to the dead skin which really bugs me.
Any suggestions??
My skin is peeling all over my body... why?
your skin is tooo dry.
you need to moistrize it everyday.
your skin needs regular cleansing to remove dirt, bacteria, make-up, oils, and dead skin cells.

Reply:You really should consult with a dermatologist. Unless you are really sunburned or exposed to some sort of chemicals on a regular basis (not healthy) this sounds like a serious health issue. Go to you regular doctor or a clinic and tell themw aht is wrong.
Reply:you might have been sun burnt and just not known it. sun burn itches/stings in the shower
Reply:It means you are not bathing enough and that you are also getting too much sun.
Reply:See a doctor, a dermitologist. It is cause for concern.
Reply:it could be a type of fungus that's not harmful and non spreadable. go to the Dr. to be sure... you could have a skin condition or be allergic to something. Good Luck

Oily skin!!?
My skin always feels oily and...scabby. Visibly, it looks fine. But I get really clogged and oily pores, and it makes me feel disgusting. I don't want to spend big bucks on cleansers (although go ahead and recommend some good ones!!) so i was wondering...anyone know of some simple home remedies I could try to get my skin smooth, soft and oil-free? I've heard of placing a hot flannel over your face to open up and pores...any other ideas?
Oily skin!!?
do NOT touch your skin with your dirty hands!! use a cleanser...you might think to use something strong cause its oily but NO..It will dry out your skin and cause more break outs.. your skin will produce more oil to make up)...you want to use something that causes your skin to feel clean but not too tight or dry..a ph imbalance will cause more breakouts than if you did nothing. i am a skin care specialist and while i could recommend many things that cost a lot..the one thing i can't do without is oil of olay daily facials...get the one for oily skin...you can get it in the grocery store and they have refillable little tubs..i recommend much more expensive things to my clients but oil of olay has great products...
also..stick to mineral based makeups.they won't clog pores...wash it off ALWAYS before sleeping..take care of your skin....by the way...the previous answer was right..smoking is horrible for your skin...so it scalding hot water...hormones can change your skin...like pregnancy and birth control...(although birth control never changed mine or anyone i know..in fact some pills are known for clearing up skin conditions....)..
Oily skin!!?
use a facewash containing witch hazel - it's inexpensive and will help clear up oily skin. You can also make a home made facial scrub by mixing caster sugar with olive oil to a paste, rub it over your face and rinse. it should smooth away dead skin.
Reply:Biore strips ( yes I use'em..)
oil free/fragrance free Basis soap and Keri Lotion...
don't scrub and don't use HOT water on your skin...(scrubbing and hot water makes skin problems worse.)
If you can, get some Clenia wash from a dermatologist or your regular Dr.
be kind to your oily skin...and it's GREAT to have oily skin..trust me, when you reach 30/40 and still have oily skin, it will look younger and healthier than others who bake themselves outside, smoke, use BC pills and drink. (all of which dry out skin.)
Reply:take a shower every hour......................
Reply:I have oily skin even in winter and I have discovered some remedies that work for me. I use L'Oreal Pure Zone - cleanser, toner, cream while at home and wet towels during the day. the skin really became less oily and smoothier, no pimples!!!
Also, scrubbing is necessary. I buy some inexpensive scrub and add some ground coffee and aroma oil (citrus or tea tree) to it.
Reply:I put talcum Powder on my face after washing. It soaks up all the grease during the day without stripping the skin of natural oils.
(DONT ever use Clearisel it strips your face from its natural oils so your body responds by producing more and more..
Reply:I would recommend that you use ZENMED's Derma Cleanse System. I had oily skin and was using Clearsil, but after three months the skin condition was the same. I used their skin care product and today my skin is soft, oil-free and glows. Its a GREAT product, although a bit pricey, but the end results are good.
Reply:wash ur face wid cold water .Never apply hot water on ur face as it opens the pores and supplies excess oil to the outer skin.and always use to drink lots of water as it will help u to get rid of those excess oils
Reply:Pond's vanishing cream is amazing for oily skin. If you are a girl, use it under foundation and then top that with face powder. It is dirt cheap as well.
And don't stop moisturising- if your skin gets dry and irritated, it will try to produce oil to compensate and you'll end up with even oilier skin.
Reply:Use clay or mud mask once or twice a week as it absorbs excess oil from the skin .For more natural remedies for oily skin and for natural skin care ,check out these sites,

Reply:This is what I suggest and no I did not just copy and paste this from some random website, I have actually tried all of this and yes, it works amazingly great =]
1. Do you have oily/combination or dry/flaky skin?
-For oily/combination. Use a 3 step system such as AcneFree, Clinique, or Proactive. Salicylic acid seems the best for oily/combination skin because it's stronger but it doesn't leave your skin feeling dry. I use Clinique 3 step system (I bought it two months ago) and I am seeing great results as such for the oily skin and my mild acne.
-For dry/flaky skin. I suggest you use benzoyl peroxide, its much gentler for drier skin and will leave your skin feeling moisturized and smooth. Also use SPF moistruizer everyday after cleansing and toning your skin.
2. Use a honey and banana mask 2-3 times a week. Take a little bit of honey and little peices of banana and massage it all together on your face, let it tighten yoru skin for 10 minutes, then risne off with luke warm water and then cold water. It will help prevent breakouts from occuring. After you rinse tha toff, take some clean and clear persa gel 10 (works great!) and dab a little on the pimples/zits you have. Do thsi before going to bed, next morning, rinse off and I swear your skin will feel and look amazing.
3. Do not eat much junk food (its ok to eat every once in awhile but not so much) because base from ym epxerince, I brokeout a lot from greasy foods like pizza, burgers, chips, soda, etc.
4. For bacne, I suggest scrubing your back every morning and night with Netruogena acne body wash. I use to use it and it works failry good, you will notice results in a week ro two

My skin use to be brown skin over the years it gotten darker?
Are you in the sun alot? Are you on birth control? How many times have you been pregnant? All of those things can contribute to darker skin.
You can use a skin bleaching cream....
