| << Question #SG040 - Lip gloss color for whiter teeth Do you know any lip gloss kind of nude but gives you mostly shine to
your lips...and makes your teeth look whiter? - Carla, St. Helier
>> Answer
#SG040 - Lip gloss color for whiter teeth
Nude is not enough color contrast to make your teeth look
whiter. You need to use darker shades to get that effect. Stay away from any hues that are
purplish or blue-toned. They will make your teeth look more yellow. Choose instead tones with
green or yellow, such as rust tones. Sounds surprising, but there is sound reasoning
behind it. Works the same with eye color. If you have hazel eyes, and you want your eyes
to look more green--do NOT wear green eye shadow. Wear brown. If you wear green shadow,
your eyes will look more brown. - Ed

#SG041 - Makeup tips
We're so sorry, but we don't post links to images in this
forum. However, our staff took a look at your photos, and we concurrently agreed--you
don't need advice. You've already got it exactly right. We took a very close look at your
eyebrows: shape & color; lips: colors used & shaping; eyes: liner, color, amount;
skin: color, base & blush. We had no suggestions--we can't improve on perfection.
Don't start changing things just because you are bored...please. It would be a big
mistake.

#SG042 - Serums & Moisturizers
Do you apply a (fine line and wrinkle) serum over your
moisturizer, under your moisturizer or by itself? I recently bought a skin care system and
with it came a serum for fine lines and wrinkles. the directions say to use on problem
areas. Just wanted to know how to use it correctly. - Dominique, Fort Wayne
>> Answer
#SG042 - Serums & Moisturizers
As a rule, the serum goes on first, as the moisturizer
would block the serum from entering the skin. As to whether you can put the moisturizer
over the serum, that depends on the manufacturer and whether they are formulated to be
used together. Many are, some aren't. To be safe, for now, use the serum overnight and the
moisturizer during the day. Contact the manufacturer for the exact instructions. - Ed

#SG044 - Squeezed Pimple damaged skin
I had a pimple to come up like underneath my skin... a head
never came out of it & I saw a white head kinda stickin out and squeezed it. Now I'm
left with redish/purplish spot there. I figure it's blood underneath there. How can I get
it to go away? Help please :( - Chyenne, Bama
>> Answer
#SG044 - Squeezed Pimple damaged skin
If you broke some capillaries, it will take time to heal
and reabsorb the blood, similar to a bruise or blood blister. If the capillaries continue
to leak, you will need laser treatment to seal the capillaries. Give it time and use a
cover-up. If it doesn't go away, see a dermatologist. Never squeeze a pimple, especially
the type you just described. You can force the infection deep in the skin and cause an
abcess. Yeah, I know, we all do it anyway. But do be careful of those that have not come
to a head. Those are the "dangerous" ones. Try hot compresses and drawing salve
instead. - Ed

<< Question
#SG045 - Uneven Skin Tone
I've got uneven skin tone. The skin of my neck, butt, knees
are way darker than my original olive tone. One aesthetician told me use an 15-20%
glycolic acid lotion but since I can't buy online I need a product from drug store. Which
drug store product is good? What's your advice for my problem? - Respected, Dhaka
>> Answer
#SG045 - Uneven Skin Tone
Over the counter preparations contain, at most, 5% glycolic
acid. It won't work on slowing melanin production if less than 12%. Go to a large
drugstore that has a pharmacy, and ask your pharmacist if the store has an over the
counter cream containing both glycolic acid and hydroquinone at the highest
concentrations available OTC. Hydroquinone works to lighten the skin, and at lower
concentrations, the combination would work best. Note: 20% glycolic acid is very
irritating and is usually started at a lower level, then raised as the skin gets
acclimated to it. - Ed (Skin Bleaching Cream)

#SG046 - Uneven Skin Tone - Dark Marks
I have dark marks on my face. I came to know about some
serums which I can use to get rid of them. Are they really good? Can you please which
serum is good to get rid of this problem and how to use them and where to buy them? -
Sravs, Texas
>> Answer
#SG046 - Uneven Skin Tone - Dark Marks
Any brand name product that contains Hydroquinone.
Other ingredients being used to bleach the skin: Kojic acid, and Mandelic Acid. Murad makes a good product with 2%
Hydroquinone and Glycolid Acid. Higher strengths are available by prescription only.
Many good quality products can be found at your local drugstores. I'd suggest you stay
away from Internet Promises on this one. Note: skin bleaching using creams take a long
time. Plus, you have to put it only on the dark areas. Here's a somewhat technical article on skin bleaching.
Don't let the long list of products mentioned confuse you. Stick with the mainly 2%
Hydroquinone products, the only ingredient approved by the FDA as a "skin
bleaching" agent. Note: these products are not cheap. - Ed (Skin Bleaching Cream)

#SG047 - Dandruff & Acne Treatment
Hi. I get pimples all over my face due to drandruff. I'm
taking treatment for it but then also the pimples are not going. Can you please give me
some homemade remedies for it plz, plz. - Rakshanaa, Colombo
>> Answer
#SG047 - Dandruff & Acne Treatment
The dandruff is not causing your pimples. Your overall skin
condition is causing both the dandruff and pimples. You are treating your scalp, but not
your facial skin. There is no "home remedy" effective for this condition. I
suggest you try Proactiv. It is available online, and ships all over the world. Find it at
www.proactiv.com It is a complete system for
ridding the skin of acne, which is probably what you have. It is highly rated as an
effective non-prescription treatment. - Ed
