I have heard people saying that using anti wrinkle cream when you’re young (like teens or twenties) prevents wrinkles for the future. I have heard other people say that it can actually cause them or that it does no good at all (something about the skin already having enough collagen..?)
Which one is true? I am 14 and have faint forehead lines and lines at the corner of my mouth from my nose downward, and don’t know whether using anti wrinkle creams will help and prevent.
Thanks! x

Okay, so I know that skin care is very important and one must begin taking care of their skin when they are young. I am going on 23 yrs of age and only use organic products for my skin. At what age should I start using anti-aging products? I have big eyes and therefore I know that I am more susceptible to crows feet and bags around my eyes… Will it harm my skin if I start using eye cream now even if its organic?

Does Boi Oil help with sagging arm skin?

I’ve had gastric bypass and am wondering about sagging arm skin and also sagging leg skin. Does boi oil help eliminate any of these types of skin problems?

lip plumper and anti aging products?

I’m looking for a good anti aging face cleansing system and a lip plumper that actually works.
I’m in need of some new face products so a friend of mine gave me Aloette to try. She was ranting and raving about how it made her face look and feel. Personally, I couldn’t see any difference in her complexion but I took it anyhow being that she was giving it to me for free (it is expensive to buy). I have used it for about two or three weeks and my skin looks worse than it did when I was using inexpensive Olay. Now I am in need of some new face wash and anti wrinkle stuff so I started doing some researching of products online. I was wondering if anyone has tried two other products that I have been looking at (Bellaplex, Dermajuv, and Meaningful Beauty). I saw Bellaplex and Dermajuv was recommended on several other sites and of course who wouldn’t want Cindy Crawford’s skin but it is hard to tell if they are just promoting the products for $$$. Know what I am saying? Also, has anyone heard of any good lip plumpers? I was looking at the product Juicy Lips and before I buy and waste my money (like I have done so many times in the past) I would like to see if anyone has actually used these products. As of now I am looking to get Dermajuv but I am giving myself a week or so to make my decision.

I need a high quality product line for my private label cosmetics & skin care collection that I intend to start. Since I am new to this, I’d like a recommendation of an experienced company with exceptional products. Any ideas?

What is your favorite anti wrinkle cream?

I am noticing fine lines, mainly around my eyes. Does anyone have a magic cream they prefer to fend these off? I just bought olay regenerist night cream, is that anyones go to?

I’m a 22 yr. old female and already starting to notice wrinkles around my eyes. My skin is also dry. Can anyone recommend a skin care product that works, but is also affordable?

What are the most effective anti-aging products that you know of?

My relative is planning to get one after he loses 100+ pounds. If it comes down to the point where he needs surgery to remove sagging skin, what are the pros and cons of it?

I know some of the cons include scars and possible danger in the surgery. How long does the scar usually last? and exactly what is the procedure? recovery time?

I am in my 30’s. I have some blemishes on my face, some mild wrinkles on my forehead, and some laugh lines. Nothing too serious. Am I too young to start using the over-the-counter anti- wrinkle creams such as Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle cream w/spf?

Someone told me that these products can actually CREATE wrinkles if you use them when you don’t need to.

Can you give me some advice?

How can I launch a homemade skin care line?

I have an idea for a skin care line, and I’ve heard of others doing very well after starting small. So, what steps do I take to actually do this?

Where are the recipes?
Also, what if I want to use specific active ingredients (e.g., alpha hydroxy or salicylic acid)? How do I get those? What government oversight will I be subject to? FDA? FTC?

Should I consult with a dermatologist and/or aesthetician first? If so, how do I find a good one, and what questions do I need to ask them?

Any tips for getting it into stores?
What else do I need to know?

I know I ask a lot, but I’m excited about my idea. I just don’t have the know-how to make it happen. I appreciate any and all constructive advice.

I’m only 25 and I defiantly don’t look old, but i’m starting to notice some things different and not in a good way. I just want something as a preventative measure. So i’m just curious at age 25 what anti-aging products would be good. I have fair, combination skin and still break out pretty regularly. Also I already use sunscreen every day. Any suggestions on products, certain ingredients or regimens would be appreciated.

I have a friend who’s really into snowboarding, and I thought it’d be nice to make her a gift basket of various beauty and skin care items that a snowboarder could use. Any suggestions? I’m on a budget, so I’d prefer inexpensive items; that way I can buy a few things and make a nice basket.

One daughter of coffee shop owner have perfect skin condition on her face still she likes skin care product, what is most likely welcomed for a 22 year old waitress from an acquaintance customer?

Advice on my rat :( (Breathing problems)?

I have a gorgeous boy rat, who would be about 2 years one month old.. needless to say he is my whole world, and I would do anything for him..
Last year, he developed breathing problems, very loud "blocked" sounding breathing, and he began to do a clicking sounding, gasping breathing. I knew he wouldnt be able to hold out for his vets appointment, so we found an emergency vet clinic to take him to then and there. He had to stay there for a week in an oxygen box and was on two different anti-biotics. After the week, he was able to come home and was fine.. once his anti-biotics ran out, he started to get his breathing problems again, but they werent as bad- so the vets said to keep him on his anti-biotics (which are baytril and doxy).. lately, once more, his breathing has taken on the loud, blocked sounding breathing.. and the vet said that he probably has the "rat version" of tuberculosis.. and increased his meds.. but in increasing them, he’s been put off his food.. I dont know what to.
We cut down his meds to their original dose, and he is eating again, but his breathing is still loud.. He has a review appointment at the vets next week.. are there any other meds I can request?
And anything I can do to make him comfortable in the mean time?
Cost isnt an issue.. I would pay anything for him to be happy and healthy..
And I know his age is considered old.. but I dont want to consider him taking the "forever sleep"…….
I love him more than anything :(

What is your favorite anti aging product?

Last week, a woman who just happens to be a close friend of my BOSS, recruited me to sell Avon So, looking for a way to earn money part-time, I signed up. After signing up, I was given a bunch of samples. They bombed on my skin, causing major welts and breakouts. In doing further research, I found that aside from their anti-aging products, their makeup, etc. do not have the best reputation. That is ONE thing that makes me ashamed to sell Avon.

The 2nd drawback is the ordering process on their web site. It is highly convoluted, and I do not want to embarrass myself in front of my list of friends by sending them there to buy. Avon will not allow anyone to sell online except on the Avon site. The 3rd drawback is that unless I make a certain profit on the web site, and I ONLY want to sell on the web, I will not receive money-just credit for more Avon product.

Also, most of the people I know are not Avon types. I know I should have researched all of this before. Help!!!
