Getting rid of scars

Kazashmaza @Kazashmaza (431) • Australia 28 Jul 09

I have this massive scar on my leg from falling about 4 months ago, I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to minimise it or get rid of it?

HomeCooked its important not to tan the area, beacuse scars can get darker and wont return to their original color after the tan has gone, so be sure to use sun block on that spot.

How do you keep your lipstick from smearing all over your face?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 6 Sep 07

You'd think that keeping lipstick in place would be a simple thing. But, it's been so long since I've worn it on a regular basis, so I think I'm out of practice. My current lipstick smears terribly and ends up looking weird. I'm...

HomeCooked There is a great producet called my lips are sealed, its awesome, its hard to find though, try on line. Also the non smearing and wearing outlast brands dont wear well I find, they are gummy on the inside on the lip and feel groos.

What diaper rash ointment/remedy worked best for you?

Laurla98 @Laurla98 (786) • United States 3 Sep 07

Here they really promote desitin and balmex. But neither ever worked for my daughters. I have found that A&D brand works better for my little ones. It clears up a diaper rash very quickly and doesn't hurt them when its applied.

HomeCooked I think you need to do it for the child sake. As harde as it is you wont do it because you dont love him do it because you do. Tough parenting problems begin from birth, not just when they are 15. The way I look at it, it is important for him to learn...

HomeCooked I always buy the best I can afford, so I wont be thought of as a cheap skate! But I think 30-35 dollare is reasonable. I have a freind though who will base her spending limit on the last toy that was bought for her child. YOu buy cheap then so does she!!
