How can Winston improve facial skin and blemishes?
Momopi,
My face got dry from the toner. I checked the ingredients and it says it has alcohol in it. The articles I read about skin care said to avoid toners with alcohol in them because they will dry your face. Thanks for warning me in advance. :P (sticking tongue at you)
If they make toners without alcohol, then why do some contain alcohol if it dries your face? What purpose does the alcohol serve in the toner if it's bad for your face?

I have a lot of facial hair and it tends to be thick and coarse so I can get a closer shave with a razor than I can with an electric. Plus with an electric you have to train the hair to grow out a certain way with each particular electric razor you buy, which for some people is easier than others. I tried using an electric as a teen since my father liked using one but it never got close to the skin and left stubble here and there. When I was in the Navy I was forced to have to use a razor, plus go against the grain just to get a smooth face, but many times during inspection the officers STILL though I didn't shave cause my skin is so pale white and my hair dark black. Muster time for me was not one of the better times of the day, I can tell you that. Now half of my beard is turning white so it's not as much of an issue cause it's not noticeable if I have stubble, but I still use a regular razor cause it just gets a better overall shave.Winston wrote:Here is an article at AskMen.com about exfoliating your skin. I didn't know you were supposed to do this.

Question: Do Asian men need to shave? Or is that only something that white men do because they have a beard? I have facial hair in my moustache area and a little under the chin, but that's it.
Also, why go through the trouble of shaving cream and razors, when you can just use a $20 electric razor to shave off your facial hair?
I happen to be visiting the states and have bought various beauty supplies that are difficult to find in Philippines. You may want to check out some of these Edgar Cayce inspired products and see if you can find any with similar ingredients in Taiwan. Pine Tar soap is supposed to be good for your skin, I bought some of that but I was able to find another brand cheaper than on this particular website. Olive oil soap is also good. Check out the stuff on this website then compare elsewhere:

Question: I've been using a really good facial wash product made by a French company called Loose Mag, which is distributed all over Taiwan in Carrefour malls. It's been great in that it softens and smooths my skin better than the cheap facial washes do. I also use moisturizing gel afterward.
However, there is one big problem. For some reason, I keep getting outbreaks of pimples. It's as if my skin is overreacting to it. Why does this happen? What can I do about it?

Often times facial acne is a sign that your lymph nodes are clogged and your body is having a difficult time eliminating waste. As a last ditch effort, your body tries to purge the waste thru the pores in your skin. Creams only fight the symptom and will do nothing for the original problem.Winston wrote:Question: I've been using a really good facial wash product made by a French company called Loose Mag, which is distributed all over Taiwan in Carrefour malls.

Here's a great video! I started taking manjistha and my face started clearing up within a week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jf3OCI-440. You'll get quite a few tips but if you don't feel like watching the entire vid, he starts talking about things that detoxify your blood at the 5:18 mark!

Switch to a different brand of facial wash and see what happens. You already know I recommend Kiehls, but everyone's facial skin is different so what works for one person doesn't always work for another.Winston wrote:Question: I've been using a really good facial wash product made by a French company called Loose Mag, which is distributed all over Taiwan in Carrefour malls.

I'd also suggest signing up to a local gym with sauna room. Sauna's are great for opening those skin pores.
Questions:
- No matter what type of facial cleanser I use, I still keep getting pimples and acne. After they disappear, they reappear again in another area of my face. What can I do about them?
Why do I still have acne problems? I thought only teenagers had them. What is the cause of this? Is it genetic or due to something I eat?
Btw the facial cleanser I use is a really good product from Taiwan. When Dianne tried it, she stopped using her Olay cleanser and started using mine. lol
- Are you supposed to use the facial moisturizer at night too, after you wash your face? Or only in the day after you wash your face? Since you are going to sleep, is it necessary?
Thanks.

When you arrive in Vegas, sign up with a local gym/spa and try using the sauna/steam room. See if that helps with the acne.Winston wrote:Questions:

If it makes the acne worse, stop using the sauna, and apply clean towel soaked in cold water to your face after you take hot shower every day.

I would not recommend a dermatologist because they will not cure you they just give temporary fixes. Do a liver cleanse and go to a herbalist they will cure you from the inside out.
To be white or black - is to not be a human, but a living definition and label. To be a slave to definition, to fashion, to the industries that market us like cattle, emptying our pockets like the udders of the cow, being paid to cut our bodies for cosmetics, benefiting off of putting harsh chemicals on our heads, making money off of us choosing to live and participate in the reality they created. Don't be "black", don't be "white", don''t be "Asian", don't be "Latin." Destroy the illusion, become human.
I just got a bar of carrot soap. It claims to have anti-aging and antioxidant qualities. I wonder if that's true. It got me curious, so I decided to try it out. I'll let you know if it helps. lol

Carrots are good & high in anti-oxidants .. never came across carrot soap .. does it smell like carrot? or purfumes?
I do many things to my skin for different results & reasons ... one thing I reccomend is exfoliating. For my face I use dry herbs with a few drops of cocnut oil. All herbs have anti-fungal & ani-bacterial fighting agents in them as does coconut oil too. I mix it & scrub my face well with it then immdeiately take a warm to hot bath, ... steam makes your pores open so all the good stuff & oil gets well into my skin. That's an Ayurvedic skin care secret. I do the same thing with my body but I add brown sugar & lemon to the mix.
I moisterise with coco butter, shea butter, & coconut oil. I never use creams or lotions because they are packed with chemicals ... Your skin is permeable. When you apply them to your skin it's absorbed. Where does it go? What effect do the chemicals have internlly? I don't know, so I stick to what I know is good & natural.

Well the carrot soap has worked well. It's made my skin look whiter and more vibrant, and helped reduce my acne as well. Dianne told me that her sister uses it too and has gotten rid of her acne with it, which is true because last time I saw her, her face no longer had acne outbreaks on it. However, Dianne says that carrot soap doesn't work for everyone, it depends on how compatible your skin is with it. I don't know if there is carrot soap in the US though. But it's popular in the Philippines. Maybe if you go to a specialty beauty store in the US, you can find it. If not, you can order it online I'm sure.
Also, after being back in the US, my skin and face has improved due to the fresh air and lack of humidity. I now look younger again, like I did before I left the US in 2006. So that's a good thing. I think my skin is not compatible with Asia (esp SE Asia) because the heat and humidity combined make me look terrible, sluggish and tired, which makes me look older. My skin is more compatible with the US. I look better here and younger too, much more like my normal self. Also, the carrot soap I'm using on my face that I got in the Philippines has helped my skin look better and smoother too.

As I said earlier, the carrot soap has helped my facial skin a lot and made it look and feel better. I don't know if you can get carrot soap in the stores in the US, but I found a site that sells it online. They sell facial cleansers, moisturizers, and other face and body care products with carrots. They also offer products with tomatoes and other fruits. Tomatoes are supposed to be really good for your skin too. Here is the site:
http://www.yestocarrots.com
The Yes to Carrots products are also available on Amazon.com for the same prices. There are many raving reviews there for them.
You can also try http://www.soap.com
So if you have acne problems or just want to improve your facial skin and look, try them out. They aren't that expensive and they seem to work really great.
