| << Question #SG030 - Blemishes on Black Skin Hi i am a 26 year old African British citizen. I have black spots on my face
that came as a result of pimples that dried and left them there. As a result, my facial
complexion isnt even.I dont necessarily have pimples but i get a rush kind of thing. I
would like to get a clear flawless skin with an even complexion but most of the products i
have read about that do that are designed for white skin. Can anyone advise me please? My
wedding is coming up and i would like very nice clear flawless skin. Does anybody know any
specialists in black skin?
I would also like to have a tan for my body on the wedding. Is there tanning for black
skin? Please advise. Thank you. - Ingrid
>> Answer
#SG030 - Blemishes on Black Skin
For an even complexion, use a concealment cosmetic. L'Oreal
has one available that comes in 3 shades, each shade having 2 colors you blend to match
your skin tone. Their darkest would be suitable for light-skinned blacks.

#SG031 - Oily Skin & Enlarged Pores
First, I have really oily skin and hair. I know it is from to
much sebum being produced in the dermis. I'm wondering with all the research if there is
anything that can regulate sebum production other than acutane. Next I have really large
pores due to my oily skin. Is there anything that makes pores smaller? I am using Retin-a
micro and I heard that works but I was wondering if there was anything that works for
sure. - Maggie
>> Answer
#SG031 - Oily Skin & Enlarged Pores
I've had oily skin and enlarged pores. I started taking a
product called AminoSculpt for my joint pain. The first thing I noticed was the change to
my face, my skin is so smooth and my pores are way smaller than I could ever thought
they'd be again. I'm almost 48, most people think I'm in my early to middle 30's.

#SG033 - Make-up base applied daily
Hey um I would like to know... What damage can make-up do if
applied daily? - Ellie, NZ
>> Answer
#SG033 - Make-up base applied daily
Actually a good quality foundation (or make-up base) can be
better for your skin than going without, as long as you have a good skin cleansing routine
to remove it each night. Be sure to purchase one with a sun-block included. A make-up base
or foundation can protect your skin from the elements, help hold moisture in, keep dirt
and pollutants out of the pores, and the sunblock can help prevent wrinkles, and protect
from skin cancer.
Mascara should always be completely removed at night,
especially at the base of the eyelashes. Failure to do this can result in individual
eyelashes falling out "before their time" resulting in less eyelashes. Almay
offers a good, hypo-allergenic, non-oily mascara remover. Castor oil is also good, if the
oil doesn't bother your eyes. Good for the lashes, but has to be removed completely before
applying fresh mascara. - Ed

#SG035 - Loose Skin & Exercise
Can exercise tighten skin? - Patricia, TX
>> Answer
#SG035 - Loose Skin & Exercise
What exercise does is bulk up and lift and tighten the
muscles. This can sometimes have a slight "tightening effect" of the skin due to
larger muscles taking up more space and making the skin look a lttle tighter. Same for the
face, and the muscles become firmer "lifting" the skin with them. The backs of
the arms (bat wings) can be tightened with exercise because that is usually flabby muscles
hanging, and not the skin. Exercise can release growth hormone, helping to thicken the
skin. But exercise does not directly tighten skin. See SG0010 above. - Ed

Try Skin Bleaching Cream. There are some that are real potent, and some
that are milder. Over time, they will lighten the skin. Then continued use will keep the
skin lighter. - Ed

#SG038 - Melasma - Skin Discoloration
I am very much frustrated with malasma in my face. Is there
any ultimate treatment for this? You are requested to inform me if you know any home made
safe remedy for that. - Alam, Rajshahi
>> Answer
#SG038 - Melasma - Skin Discoloration
The biggest cause of this condition is oral contraceptives.
If you are on them, get off. There are 2 types: Dermal Melasma (deeper in the skin) and
Epidermal Melasma (closer to the skin surface). Dermal Melasma is much harder to treat,
and you need to be diagnosed as to which you have.
The basic treatment for Melasma is sunblock, a bleaching agent,
and time. Sunscreen is an absolute must. (An opaque sunscreen
with SPF over 30 plus cover up). Bleaching preparations: 2 or 4% hydroquinone-containing
creams or gels and 3% hydroquinone solution.
For Dermal Melasma: A particular type of alpha hydroxy acid (mandelic acid) can help
improve it. (MaMa Lotion & NuCelle Skin Care carries it). This acid is safe on Asian
and Latino skin types.
Up to 2 months are required to get a response and up to 6 months to complete the process.
Opaque sunscreen should be continued through at least one summer season to reduce the risk
of recurrence. Many times this condition will resolve itself over time after childbirth or
the discontinuance of oral contraceptives. (Skin Bleaching Cream)

#SG039 - Acne - Indian Skin - Kaya Products
I am 31 years old. I have pimple marks on my face. The
marks are in the shape of dots or holes that are made on the skin. I heard from someone
that KAYA Skin Care cures these marks. Will it help? Please advise. I do not want to
invest in something which won't result in a positive response. Also am budget constrained.
- Ruby, Ahmedabad
>> Answer
#SG039 - Acne - Indian Skin - Kaya Products
If what you are describing as "holes" are true
acne pits, there is no "cream" that will get rid of them. Kaya products are
exfoliants and can remove the top "dead" layer of skin, but can not remove the
deep acne scars. - Ed
