If you have oily skin, you should wash your face often, like 3 times a day. Do not use cleansing cream as it'll leave oil on your skin. Use facial foam/wash instead as it can reduce oil. Dont massage too long as it'll stimulate your skin to produce more oil. Once a week, use clay facial mask that can absorb the oil. Apply pore-tightening lotion to tighten pores and lift up dirt traces. Good Luck!

One more thing, use water-based moisturizer for your oily skin. Cheers!

Is there something else I can do about my stretchmarks? I've heard that coco butter supposed to help prevent and lessen them which is why I'm currently using it but I'm not sure it's helping get rid of them although I haven't got any new ones since I started using it. Any advice?^_^

I was really hoping that it wouldn't come to plastic surgery to get rid of them completely. Really hope there's an alternative soon. Thanks for your help though I'll go find one with vitamin A.^_^

I have psoriasis on my face and it is dry patchy skin but when I use a cleanser and remove the dry flaky patches it leaves the skin red and I was wondering if you could recommend something to cover the redness o the skin that won't cause it to become irritated?

Redness on skin can be covered by concealer. But with the psoriasis condition on your skin, all I can suggest is to ask a doctor about what kind of treatment that most suitable for you. He/she can help you solve your skin problem. Why dont make appointment now? Good Luck!

what about problems on whiteheads and blackheads. im very much prone on it? Can you suggest any simple treatment that i can use at home, not expensive one?

Black head, white head are caused by fat that clogs your pores. To get rid of them you can use pore packs that now available everywhere. It's cheap and it works! Be sure to moist your skin first with warm water before sticking them to your skin. Rinse with cold water when finish, to tighten your pores. Good luck!

Chiquitita, nice name. I want to ask you something. Have you heard anything about fresh, unpasteurized soy milk being used to remove hair? Do you know of any additional benifits of using soy milk on the skin?
• Indonesia

I've read about that but honestly,I havent got many infos about it. As far as I know the unpasteurized soy milk has certain substances that can attack the hair roots. You have any infos you like to share?

Getting a glow on your face is easy! Mask your face regularly, about 2 times a week.Be sure to evaporates your face 1st to open your pores. Choose skin moisturizer that contains AHA, vitamin C, or beta carothene. AHA will be a natural exfoliator, while vit. C and beta carothene improve your skin complexion. Good luck!

As you live in Singapore, I dont which brands that available right there. But here's my recommendation: l'Orreal Pure Zone Pore Tightening Astringent. Many people are satisfied with this product. Of course, the BEST product is the one that suitable to your skin. Cheers!

I have a problem with my on and off zits. It all started when I got panic about having only one acne, and went to an Esthetician just once. Now, it didnt stop bothering me, I'm scared to go back to Esthetician as seems it didn't do anything good, I guess it's because I let her opened the pores maybe? Afraid to use those moisturizing products too because I was thinking it'll make my skin to have more breakouts. I'm not a pimple person but now, I guess, I am. HeLp pls...

Yes, that could be the cause. Since the pores, dirts can easily clog them. If you have acne, dont ever squeeze it. Use cleanser that contain tea tree or salicyd acid. Drink lots of water, clean your face 3 times a day. Use anti bacterial clay mask to absorb the oil on your face. The rest of acne treatment have been posted in the previour thread. Have a look.

Cleanse, cleanse, cleanse! That's the main key to a healthy skin. Even the most beautiful skin will be full of acne. Not cleansing face after motorbike riding indeed causes acne. The polution, dirts, free radicals are harmful to your skin. Have you ever convinced her that not all cleanser are harsh on her skin? Maybe by buying her cosmetic package for her skin type as a gift would change her mind? Women love gifts, why dont you give it a try?

1. How do you keep your foundation from rubbing onto the collar of your clothes? I already use loose powder on top, and I use revelon colorstay (which doesnt stay) 2. I have breakouts on my chin, and my cheeks I have dry skin. I just started using cleasil medicated pads & the clearsil vanishing cream, it seems to be working so far, but drying my skin out more, I am thinking that if i use to much mosturizer on my face i might break out more, is that true?

Even long lasting make up still needs to touch ups. I can suggest you to use two way cake (powder and foundation in one)pressed powder. It last longer than loose powder. Reapply when needed.Of course you'll still have to use moisturizer, or the powder wont stick to your skin. If you're afraid of breakouts, choose water based moisturizer for oily skin. For the collar dilemma, just keep your skin dry from sweat etc that may let the foundation melt onto your collar. No, if you choose the right moisturizer for your skin type, I think it's gonna be okay. Good luck!
