Well I have huge pores, they are so large that it looks like a whole bunch of black dots on my face (could be mistaken for blackheads but when I checked, it was really the giant pores), I also have very oily skin, and I tend to get a lot of blackheads. The worst area for me is my nose, I have the most pores and I get the most blackheads. I used the Biore' blackhead strips and they worked, but not great because since my pores are so huge with the oily skin, it kind of defeats the purpose. Any ideas on how to get rid of how much oil I have, blackheads and pores? (for example on the oils in my skin, when I go to pop a black head, you see the oil being pushed up.. it's gross)
How do fix my horrible skin? (Pores, Blackheads etc)?

Let me tell you something not many people know,
When you try to wash the oil off your wash using soap or
any store brought product what happends is it sucks up alot of the natural oils
out of your skin, and what happends when that occurs? your
skin goes into over time trying to reblimish the lost oil
and doubles the amount, your pores open up more to get more of the oil out and air in so let me help you
Ah ok well my mother had the same problem as you,
and let me tell you what she did to make it stop,
this is a home treatment of course, the only thing
you may need to buy is a lemon if you dont already have some in the fridge,
what you want to do is get some lemon and squeez that
sucker into a tiny bit of honey, and mix that all together, put that
into the area where you want treated and wait 5-10 mins and than wash off,
the lemon works great as a toner and as we all know toners are
great for tighthing the skin and even better for your pores to look
smaller, the honey helps as an evener, it will even out the uneven
skin tone and also sooths the skin,This teachique not only destorys the pimples you already
have but it also helps prevent them from coming up again,Drinking alot of water
every day also helps alot :) Well I hope this helps %26lt;3 good luck
-- Love Vanessa
Reply:for the pores, you could use L'Oreal pore refiner products. it works well.. for the blackheads, you could use a nose strip. you can get it at any drug store. or you could steam your face using a very hot water. use the steam only..! and when you feel that your face is being soft, use this ornament with two holes at each end and take off your blackheads. then wash your face. as for the oily skin, you could wash your face with a facial wash that has a label "for oily skin". wash it often. although not so often that your face will dry up.!
Reply:I just replied to another question about this regimen.
www.acne.org and look for Dr. Kernes regimen.
Watch the videos and use the recommended products that you can find in most pharmacies.
It is a must that you watch the videos to make sure you are cleaning and applying product properly. I made the mistake of just following the directions and was making my face worse.
Part of this regimen is moisturizing your face which should help with the excess oil your face is producing.
I prefer the Cetaphil soaps (bar or liquid) and moisturizer. Check the site out, there is also a forum there for you to get specific answers to your certain questions.
Reply:Just the way I did it in my day,good old soap and water on the pores.

What is the best skin cleanser?
I have kind of dry skin, but i tend to sometimes get small acne breakouts also. What is a good skin cleanser for acne that doesn't dry out your skin too much? I use cetaphil and it doesn't work very well. Ive never tried clean and clear, does it work? Also what do you recommend?
What is the best skin cleanser?
Don't think so.
Try only natural stuff.
Like this http://everythingthatyouneed.info/acne .
If you don't wanna spend any money on products you can try home remedies.
Feel free to contact me at

Good luck
Reply:There are no best skin cleanser because it will just make your face become worst.
Reply:I know it sounds very cliche, but Proactiv Solution works like magic. (:
The three steps included are 1 - a Daily Clenser (I use this when I take a shower because your face needs to be wet for the clenser. It's just easier to clean my face if it's already wet.)
2 - A Toner
3 - A Repairing Lotion to apply on affected areas (acne)
Remember to drink lots of water, it helps keep the face clear!
Reply:I use spectro gel in the morning and before i go to bed. The spectro gel is good to clean ur face of bacterias. I alawys apply cream after washing my face with cleanser. then I put on clean and clear on my pimples. It drys out the pimples not ur whole face.
Reply:First off proactive does not work... dont waste your money. Saint Ives apricot scrub works really well. It exfoliates getting rid of dead skin
Reply:i used to have the same problem. Than i fixed it by using yes to carrots facial mud peeling cleanser. Works great for dry skin cause it contains carrots. Which carrots have an oil in it that's good for dry skin. You can only by it at walgreens though. i think it was 9.99
and it's obviouse that u have to cleanse ur face when its wet.

Why do redheads tend to freckle more than blondes?
I'm always fighting my freckles with chemical peels and I stay out of the sun like it's the plague. Why do blondes (or even brunettes) who are as light skinned as me tend to have one-toned skin while I get spots %26amp; blotches of freckles?
Why do redheads tend to freckle more than blondes?
My cosmetic sugeon's office told me that freckles are a sign of sun damage. I've never understood this since I had freckles as a kid but they faded as I got older. Redheads freckle because their skin is usually fair and more sensitive to sunlight. I also get spots and splotches and it bothers me sometimes. But I love being a redhead. I feel really special and different and have received comments on my hair since the minute I was born. We do have to be more cautious in the sun, but it is worth it.
Reply:Being a natural redhead myself this one is common. It's the pigment in your skin. Redheads tend to be fair skinned so it varies from woman to woman. I can tan and most redheads can't. As far as the freckles, I love them so enjoy what God gave you!
Reply:It has to do with the composition of your skin. You will NEVER tan so quit trying. I tried for years to tell my red-headed daughter this and she wouldn't listen. Today she has had to have a basal cell carcinoma removed from her nose and has other "spots" that she is having to watch. Please listen to me--I am a red-head too and I know what I'm talking about. I once had a friend who died three weeks after having been sunburned and had a spot go cancerous on her. Trying to tan isn't worth your life.
Reply:We are just lucky that way Honey!!! Please understand that as you age your skin will become less freckled. Or maybe it is that all my freckles have joined and there is no more cream spaces??
Anyway!! You should glory in the red hair!! Not fret about the freckles!!
Remember that we, Redheads, are more beautiful than any blonde or brunette ever thought of being!!

Sensitive skin??!!!!! plz help x?
Use some Tea tree products it is fantastic
Reply:You should choose products for combination skin. Cetaphil is a great gentle line of cleansers and moisturizers that won't irritate your skin.
Reply:I would do one of 2 things. I would go to a dept store like Macy's or Dillards and go to their cosmetics counter, and see what they recommend there is also a dermatologist.
Reply:i think you categorized wrong your in the tattoo section?

Look for ones specifically for combination skin. Boots own range is good.
Reply:I have used a toner from Clarins which I thought was pretty good as they have creams/clensers/toners that are suitable for combination skin. Try their website or go to a beauty counter and they may be able to recommend something.
Reply:Use a facial creme wash, like from neutrogena...but exfoliate oily areas three times a week.So you keep your skin hydrated but not oily
Reply:Kiehl's mask is good and shie siedo skincare products are great but they are all bi pricey so i would go for loreal
Reply:I had the same problem. I did a lot of things to clear up my mega sensitive skin, but every moment, and every penny was well worth it. First, I get a facial every 2-3 months. They are expensive but well worth it. Not only is it great for your face, but they always update you on the best products. I only go to places that carry MD Formulations, because it is the only product that I have seen such great results with.
I also take the MD Formulations into my home care routine. I wash twice a day with their sensitive skin cleaner. Twice a day I take the Nature's Cure pills. And in the morning I put the Nature's Cure cream on, and the daily sensitive skin cream after the NC cream has dried. At night I use Clearing complex by MD Formulations.
Also very important is your makeup. I use Bare Minerals which are from the same line as MD formulations. Get a starter kit, it comes with an instructional video and all your brushes. You can expand after that. They are all mineral (powder), and work great. The "mineral veil" product helps with that oily skin look. I have been using this for a long time now, and I love the results!!
Hope this helps!!
Reply:use stiemycin... it works pretty good.... it'll be available in pharmacies
Reply:I'm hooked on cleansing wipes-the Equate brand that's sold at WalMart are less $ than most other and I love them. Most of the other brands are really scented and I don't like that and you can buy 2 packs and use them for specific areas..
If you don't like wipes try Alamay Milk Plus Foaming Gel 2in1 Cleanser and Toner. Also try some sensitive skin products, they might be good for you problems
Reply:First off, I use Proactiv...... It's the only thing that keeps my skin under control, you may or may not want to try it, but I only use the face wash, I found that all the other stuff they wanted me to put on it was just too much.
Instead of Proactiv toner, I use Biore Triple Action Toner and a clean cotton round and I get all the dirt off my face.
Then I dab Neosporin cream(not ointment, very important) on zits and flared pores if any(I've lived by neosporin for all my zits, ingrowns, blackheads, but I don't put it on my nose unless there is a zit. Obviously this doesn't work for everyone, but I would reccomend you give it a shot.)
Once a week I use Biore Strips to get all the gunk out of those pores on my nose, and I also take a tissue and press on my nose in different directions to get all the dirt out of them that the strips missed, and I mean, I press HARD, like the facialists do.
Once a week I also use Freeman's Avacado and Oatmeal tightening mask. It works wonders and leaves your skin fresh and clean, and also closes the pores after you use the strips.
It works for me, it sounds like a mess, but it's worth it. Try proactiv. I have the same problem and I over the years have used proactiv, I've found that the whole regimen doesn't work for me, but the cleanser is the best. Here is my regimen, maybe you'd want to try it out:

Any makeup tips to tone down my fair, reddish skin?
I am very fair with blonde hair and I have very sensitive skin, which tends to become red during the winter months. Anyone know of any way to cover the redness? Thanks for your help.
Any makeup tips to tone down my fair, reddish skin?
Well, if its really red, you might want to get some consealer. Of course, to even skin tone, foundation and powder really help too. Get some that match your skin tone when its NOT red. Put the consealer on first, then the foundation, then the powder. There are two types of powder: compacted and loose. I personally perfer the loose powder because it blends much better on your skin, but I believe that with the compacted, you get more for your money. Your choice. Good luck!
Reply:I'm a red head and i have freckles. Be yourself
Reply:i try to avoid sun, use sun tan lotion, light foundation. then start with dark mascara, i like it.
Reply:Use a yellow based foundation. If you really look at foundations you can see that they have a red tone to them. (Hold the bottle by something white)After you apply foundation blend concealer on the remaining problem areas. Stay away from pink eyeshadows, red lipsticks and blushes. That will just bring the red out of your skin. Stick with corals, browns...
Reply:This might sound silly but for reddish skin use a green consealer or apply a small amount of green eyeshadow on you cheeks and blend before apply foundation!!

I have light brown skin. What are the best colours to use for make-up?
When I wear bright pinks and burning reds, my skin tone tends to look the best.
I've used pale colours for eye shadows and I prefer natural pinks/almost non-existant colours for the lips, preferring to use gloss as I think my lips are a good colour anyway.
When I use lipsticks I usually feel tarty - they look too solid in colour. Deep browns and reds look awful...!
All suggestions and advice would be much appreciated!

Go into any large store which has make up counters (such as Debenhams or House of Fraser) they love people like you who need advice on colour choices. You will probably get a makeover at the same time....have fun :D
Reply:Hmm..hard to say with a picture. I wish yahoo let us use our own pics in here instead of cartoon avatars. My sis is a makeup artist (that's what she calls herself anyway..I say she just works at a beautyshop..hehe) so I'll give her a call when she gets off work tonight and see if she can come on and answer you ;)
Reply:Black is good
Reply:use makeups with a purple or violet hue
Reply:You need to find a Avon Beauty adviser to help you find the correct shade. She can use samples for you to try. The shade the disappears along your jawline is the right shade. You can check out www.avon.com to find an avon beauty adviser in your area.

I wish i had you colour of skin instead of applying fake tan. I would think your best bet is to go to a make-up store and they will try some make-ups on you for free. Then you will know its a safe colour for you
