Getting Rid of Wrinkles Under Eyes with Contacts?

I really do not want to boast but i feel i have a nice area around my eyes. im a guy, ha. no wrinkles or anything like that, nor bags under my eyes. I recently began wearing contacts and i know that the skin around my eyes is the most delicate on a body and i feel somehow that these contacts are the cause of the new 2 or 3 small lines under my eyes. Whats a great way to get rid of these? I've been getting ample amounts of sleep. The only problems with these lines that might contribute is the contacts situation, putting them on and taking them off everyday or these rare occasions in which i pull allnighter's studying for exams in college drinking Monster Energy Drinks. This is the first time something like this is happening, please help?
Getting Rid of Wrinkles Under Eyes with Contacts?
I wear contacts too and I notice that I do pull down on the skin under my eye when inserting my contacts. I have also noticed an increase in fine lines under my eyes too, but hadn't even thought about this being the cause. I started using Firming Eye Cream from Mary Kay. It works wonders! I wouldnt go a day without using it! You can find it here:

Getting Rid of Wrinkles Under Eyes with Contacts?
When you put in your contacts, be careful not to stretch that skin too much. Also, you may want to start using an eye-specific moisturizer with retinol in it, such as ROC.
Reply:Use a moisturizer under your eyes. I prefer Woody's, it is an aftershave moisturizer that also gets rid of wrinkles and/or dark circles under the eyes. It is made by Crew but any moisturizer should help you with that problem.

Skin Tags?

I have about 20 wart type things under my armpits on one and about 4 on the other and i have some like on my chest and they look alot like skin tags they keep popping up i think there are to much to be warts i don't know if they are though they are like my color skin and they look like a mole are they skin tags?
Skin Tags?
Dylan H I have had a lot os skin tags, I had one under my arm that looked like I had a testicle sack growing there. I finally had it removed. I was going to leave it until it got bigger and have it transplanted where my testicles was as I lost them and my bag from an accident really ! But the wife couldn't stand looking at it ,and it did irritate me, so I had it removed with a bunch of others. I am willing to say these are skin tags you have, and they are removed right in the dr's office with very little pain involved. The one under my arm was the worst where it was so large. I still get them, and I thought it was from my testosterone shots I take. But maybe not now that you have posted this. In any case I hope this has been of value to you . Have very Merry Christmas! Good Luck!
Skin Tags?
They are probably skin tags. You can have a family doctor or a dermatologist take them off - relatively simple, minimal discomfort. Have them all taken off at once.

Small bumps under my under arms?

I noticed about a week ago, that right at the crease of the underarm where it bends, I have small bumps. They look dry, or scraped because they have this whitish look if you get what I mean. I thought they were just a couple of ingrown hairs maybe, but I picked at one (and I shouldnt have) and nothing came out, just pulled off some of the skin, but some is still there and it burns now. I have them on both under arms. I put vasaline on them and them medicated body powder that relieves pain and moisture. Anyone every had this before? Could it just be a skin irritation from shaving or something?
Small bumps under my under arms?
your deodorant, probably harmed your underarms?
Small bumps under my under arms?
get you some emu oil.
Reply:I read somewhere before that there is a certain kind of skin irritation that is permanent but it comes and goes... it's symptoms are like a white colored patch under the arm and usually there is a sensitivity to that area... the article recommended putting baby oil on the area to keep the skin from rubbing together to further irritate it... I'd check with your doctor if it doesn't go away or if it comes back or gets worse over time...

Reply:I think other people has done it just that they aren't famous like him so it's kind of a secret.
Reply:He is the most famous to have done it. And for the record he NEVER had vitiligo, it was chemically induced. I know Jermaine. Most people's embarrassing family members aren't so public. there is a book "black like me" about a white guy who became black so he could write a book. it is pretty interesting. but eventually he turned white again.


I asked a question- it appears in my profile but not under the heading! Why?

I asked a question in the Health -%26gt; Diseases -%26gt; Skin Conditions category. It appears in my profile but not under that category, so nobody else can see the question. What's up?
I asked a question- it appears in my profile but not under the heading! Why?
It may show up there eventually -- it may be hanging out in the "prescan" section of Yahoo Answers, where they hold questions before putting out to the public. This is done to try and slow down spammers, bots, and trolls and uses "trigger words" to pull certain questions for manual review. I've seen questions come up as much as an hour later! So be patient. On the other hand, I've also seen questions not post at all -- swallowed by the deadly Yahoo "glitch"! Ya just never know.


My skin is... ugh!? help!?

I have these little white heads on my nose, forehead, chin and under my eyes and I can't get rid of them! They look ugly! I also have quite pale skin but I get these little red bits and I have a mixture between oily and dry skin! It's disgusting!





So is there anyway I can even out my skin and have it looking just normal! How do I get rid of inpurities... thanks :)
My skin is... ugh!? help!?
Birthcontrol.


seriously.


Works awesomly %26lt;3
My skin is... ugh!? help!?
I would sujest a face cream like clearisel you could go to your local chemist nd ask them to sujest which one to use!....but don't forget to use it every day.





i also read in a magazine once that natural yoghurt and honey is supposed to be very good for your skin.
Reply:Please don't resort to Clearasil, it's way too harsh. I use Liz Earle cleanse %26amp; polish and it works for every skin type. I suggest going for a facial too, they will extract your whiteheads and then can reccomend a skincare regime to suit you. But Liz Earle is fabulous, it dries the oily areas and hydrates the dry areas. Perfect for balancing problem skin. Hope this helps.
Reply:Use the ,Exfoliate,Clay mask,Toner ,Moisturizer from the simple range.





fab stuff
Reply:I would recommend for you zenmed's 3 step skin care system. I have been using it for a few months now and have found it to be very effective for removing whiteheads. Whats more this cream also removes dead skins, cleanses deep inside your pores and makes your skin healthier and glowing. Zenmed's products are the best where treating any type of skin condition is concerned.





You could also use my discount code "zen4less" to avail a discount in case you desire to buy this product.
Reply:I think you must have a daily skin treatment routine twice that is morning and evening before off to bed.You must have a good face wash for normal skin or cleanser and tonic and i will also suggest some daily massage.Also you must drink plenty of water and do some breathing exercises
Reply:drink plenty of water, remove (or eat less) fat and chocolate from your diet as that's the use of the white pimples. Eat fresh fruit and veg'


Then go see your Doctor who may prescribe you the pill (birth Control) which will balance an in-balanced hormone problem which is the main cause of pimples/acne..


Thirdly to a Beauty Salon and have a course of facials and get advice about skin cleansing etc..





Hope you get sorted..
Reply:Omg. My best mate has this problem. She went to the doc's for creams and had everyone on the market, practically. She said they worked for a few weeks but after that, they stopped working because her skin got used to them.


She found out from some source of another that putting straight vodka on a piece of cotton cool and rubbing it over her spits really cleared them up


, new she is just left with a few scars here and there were her acne used to be. Be beware, you need a moisturiser after, coz it drys up ya skin a little. =]


(ps, any voka works, you dont need a really expensive bottle)
Reply:well...even if i could help u , i wouldn't u know.


bc the skin , especially the skin of ur face is the most important part in ur body ...and ur face is the only part which can be seen at the first look....so never try to treat ur face problem urself , or just by asking ordinary ppl, even if they r educated enough in any field . but not a doctor, doctors r the only persons who can give u the best answer....and the only ones u can trust to their treatment.

My dog is growing small dark spots in her skin, what's that??

my dog loves the sun and she got sunburn the other day, we no longer let her stay under the sun for long periods of time, but since then, her skin start to grow dark spots,more like gray spots, her skin is already white with gray but this are smalls spots, more like gray dots!!!! should I be worry?

it shouldn't be a problem, my dog has the same thing. but get it checked out by a vet if your worried.

I would call your local vet (this way it won't cost) and ask. Most likely they will tell you to bring her in if they think its bad, but otherwise MOST vets will let you know something you can get over the counter at a grocery store to help. The only things I could find online were about skin cancer, so I wouldn't wait much longer to call. Good luck!


35 weeks 4 days pregnant... part top part of stomach has no feeling in skin....?

the top left side of my stomach has no feeling in the skin.... yet i have a shooting pain coming from that area. i also have a hard time breathing, like i have bruised ribs bc my baby is so large shes under my ribs at times... should this be of concern? the skin that has no feeling but hurts at the same time?

No, mine was like that for a couple of weeks. All feeling will return to normal after the baby is born.





Congrats.

I have never heard of this. I would rest, take some Tylenol and if the pain continues maybe go ahead a call a doctor.


I hope you are ok.
Reply:Very common.





Most likely your baby is putting pressure on a nerve. The fact that it is numb at times and is painful at times, dictates that it is probably a pinched nerve.
Reply:You skin is just stretched so tight. The last few weeks are very uncomfortable because the baby is pushing and kicking against you with no room for her to move around. You should be seeing your doc every week now, right? Ask him/her for ideas to be more comfortable. Hang in there, you are almost done.
Reply:My son was under my ribs also. I had to have a c-section because he was too large for my body. Not a big deal tho. Talk to your doctor .... thats why we pay them the big bucks!
Reply:She's pressing on the nerves in that area, so it hurts and is stretched but appears to have "no feeling".





If she's up under your ribs, she's also pressing on your diaphragm that separates your lungs from your stomach etc. It means that you can't breathe deeply (when we breathe correctly, we breathe downwards which pushes the tummy out) something you can't do at the moment anyway because she's there! If the diaphragm is pressed, it can be painful and make you feel short of breath too. Try putting your hands high on your waist to lift your ribcage and open it up. Looks a bit odd, but might give you a little more space when she's pushing around.
Reply:The same thing happened to me with my second child. Only it was the entire top of my belly just above my navel. Very painful most of the time, but just as you said, numb at the same time. It seems like a contradiction but that's exactly what it felt like. I told my doctor who said it was simply from being stretched so taut that the nerves were constantly firing. The feeling of numbness lasted several months after giving birth. And, an area of about two inches across just above the navel continues to feel kind of numb, or just less sensitive than the rest of my skin. (My second child is now nearly 18 months old.) I guess that's just another part of my badge of honor from pregnancy to go along with the stretch marks. Blessings to you!


The hard time breathing is because there is so little room inside you that your organs are being pressed up into your ribcage and that doesn't leave much room for expanding your lungs. My son had his head under my ribs for the last two months solid! Very uncomfortable, you feel like you can never take a deep breath. It all goes away with delivery!!!


Congratulations on your pregnancy.

Best skin care routine?

I want to start actually taking care of my skin, but I don't know where to start. I'm 16 and have no idea what my skin type is. I break out occasionally on my forehead, usually along the top of my brows. And lately I've been getting whiteheads on my cheeks. And to cap it all, I have the worst under eye bags and dark circles you've ever seen. (I don't know why I do, I get enough sleep and eat well). Please, please help me figure out and easy, affordable routinte to take care of my skin! What skin type do I have? What products should I use? How much are they? How often should I use them? Please help!
Best skin care routine?
You are on the right track when you talk about eating well and sleeping enough! Great skin starts from the inside!





I highly recommend the products of Arbonne. The Intelligence line is a great place to start. It is a 5 step system, with the main idea of washing, toning and moisturizing emphasized.





In addition, I also recommend a dietary supplement - just to make sure you are getting all the vitamins and minerals that you need.





We also have a supplement that comes in a "chew" formulated especially for teens.





You can learn more about the products at my web site: www.snthayer.myarbonne.com.





I will send you a sample of the Intelligence line for you to try if you sign my guest book and let me know where to mail it!





Thanks, and happy holidays!
Best skin care routine?
if you have dry patches, you may have dry skin





if your skin get irritated easily, you may have sensitive skin like me





if you have very oily skin, you may have oily skin





if you have eveything, most likey have combination skin





a good skin care regimen is a cleanseer that suites your skin type, a toner (natural or contain less alcohol is good), and a moisterizer that suites you skin
Reply:If your skin feels rough all over: DRY SKIN!





If your skin feels soft and smooth: NORMAL SKIN!





If your skin feels greasy all over: OILY SKIN!





If your skin is dry/normal on your cheeks but oily on your T-Zone (forehead, nose, chin): COMBINATION SKIN!





Most acne products I've tried are ineffective even though I have mild acne! Products I'll recommend are:





CLEANSER: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.a... (this product contains no acne fighting ingrediants)





TONER/ASTRINGENT: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.a...


(TIP: witch hazel is very good for acne!)





TREATMENT: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.a...


(This is another product that will help with acne)





MOISTURIZER: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.a...


(Since the Clearasil Cream contains Benzoyl Peroxide, a moisturizer with an SPF needs to be used! This product contains SPF 15! And is very light!)





Since I used drugstore.com, it lists the prices of products so you can get an idea of how much they cost!





Good Luck!


Skin Issues?

I would describe my skin tone as fair, but sometimes I have red, blotchy-ness all over my face. On top of that, I have very dark under eye circles that I use makeup to cover up, but since I wear dark eye makeup, by the time I'm in school, the makeup on my under eyes has faded, and I'm back to the dark marks. Along with a lot of pimples around my chin. Does anyone have any makeup tips to make my skin look more evened out, and to help with the pimples around my chin? I wear foundation, but that wears off during the day also. Please help.
Skin Issues?
lol what ever you do DONT wash your face more the 2 TIMES a dya. that will just make it worse. it draws the oil out of your pores nad sits in on your skin and eerythign else. just dont do that. dermatoligist tell you not to. but everyone is different. i accaully use just regualr dove bar soap. it has gentle moutsrizer and it works really well . alot better that some of those face wash and scrubs stuff. i like it. ive been using it forever now and my skins pretty clear. it also leave it nice and smooth. as for dark circle you can get cream for it. try jean-mitchelle. um but you can also your concelar. in a tone lighter than your skin color. then wear powedede foundation. also don t overload on the mae up tpo try and cover stuff off. makes ups suppsed to empahsis your natural beauty not change our face. you will loo so fresh without caked on powder. i recommmnd to use dove bar soap for 2 weeks.plz give it a try it worked for me and my freinds after i told them. but its not a gareentee but at least try it. also go fo a light poweder to polish you face. stay away from sticky wet foundation and stuff like that. hope this helps :]

Reply:Try using concealers under foundations... It covers the dark circles and the pimple(scars) as well. Choose non-comedogenic foundations so that your pores won't be clogged which leads to nasty break-outs. Washing your face also helps, just don't use bathing soaps... Those things are too harsh for your face. Use facial foams or scrubs instead.

Recent Skin Problems?

Until recently, I had really great skin. I never broke out, got pimples rarely, my skin was clear and for the most part had great tone and texture. I never had problems with over drying.





Recently, part of my face have been super dry. Mainly, around my mouth and under/around my eyes and eyelids. Anytime I use a moutrizier on those areas, I break out in hives. The hives/pimples/bumps stay for days. Same happens when I wear makeup.





It's interfering with my life, b/c my skin is becoming very embrassing.





I'm 23 years old, so why the sudden change in my skin. How can I fix it?
Recent Skin Problems?
Seek professional help and go to your local dermatologist.





For some people with sensitive skin, they might react at any time, even to products they've used for years.
Recent Skin Problems?
Have you had any changes in your life recently?


Please go see a dermatologist! He or she will know best!
Reply:have a visit with the doctor....you could just be allergic to something, and you just dont know it.
Reply:Well they say every 7 years your body changed.. And you probably have developed an allergy to make-up and mosturizers. I would see a doctor or dematologist about the skin issue. Maybe they could suggest a mosturizer that doesn't cause hives.
Reply:see a dematologist like other users have suggested. it could be stress , change of environment or both. you might get different creams or pills. good luck!


Sensitive skin?

My skin is so impossibly sensitive!





There are some perfect quality fabrics that will bring my skin out in rash.


I get all itchy in summer and itchiness lasts until the next spring. Sometimes my skin burns like crazy after being exposed to the sun (wearing lotion, not being in the sun long).


Some products like body lotions, creams or shaving foams would create burning sensation when applied.


I don't have acne, but often get spots on my jaw area and under the chin.


Sometimes I itch all over for no apparent reason.





I try using as little products as possible on my skin and I make sure I use good quality products. It took me a while to find shaving gel that doesn't burn my legs, though.





I take oath baths occasionally. I moisturise.


I eat lots of fresh fruits and veg and seeds, mostly organic, and I believe I get enough iron, omegas etc.





My GP gave me 2 different medicines for allergies and they only made the situation worse. The pill didn't help either.





Any help greatly appreciated!
Sensitive skin?
You may have sun intolerance. It is not common but it happens. Ask your GP about it.





Avoid sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate for a start. Shaving foams and many other foaming products contain these detergents, which are irritating.





Try rosehip oil. It may feel like burning as soon as you apply it because your skin is so sensitive but it will subside. You can also try sea kelp bioferment.
Sensitive skin?
A lot of products make a sensitive skin version of their product. Try looking for a milder version that won't irritate your skin. Also your laundry detergent may cause irritation. I know there are certain brands that I cannot use because it makes me itch. Look for products that are dye free or made for sensitive skin.


What skin tone am I? (pics inside)?

My mom is white and my dad was half mexican. (He left so I don't have anything else to go on but what my mom says) So, my mom is white and has blonde hair and he was mexican (dunno skin color) with jet black hair.





I have really dark brown hair that looks black and brown eyes. I dunno if this will help you identify my skin tone or not. My mom says I am olive, but from what I hear that's beautiful skin and I don't like mine. What do you think I am?

Here is a picture with crappy quality I tried to take for myspace.





These two are natural. I have no makeup on. (except for that stuff you see under the eye and sorry about the poses) Sorry, I was at a slumber part so they're the only pics I have without makeup on! My friend took them for some scrap book.


I know I look bad, please don't point it out.

Oily skin is driving me insane!!! Please help me?

I have very oily skin, i even use makeup that is specifically for oily skin..but still 3 hours later my face is oily again..my dermatologist told me to use Almay products and i have used those for about 2-3 weeks now..but to no help..i've used everything under the sun it seems like Covergirl, Mary Kay, Revlon, Neutragena(sp?) Maybellene..but nothing works..and i can't go out and spend a bunch of money on foundation..also, i have slight blemishes even though i am young and the foundation for oily skin doesn't completely cover them which is pretty embarrassing sometimes..does anyone know of anything that will not make my skin such an oil pit?

start washing yourself more. when in soap yourself in the shower, make sure you rub your body well enough to get all your deadskin and oil off your skin. also if you want your face and body to look less oily. use powder to cover it up. bring powder around so you can use it when you see that your face is oily.

i have found that pro-active works wonders. I also like MAC's face primer, it sets your make-up all day. Best foundation by far is Clinque Clarifying!! Good luck!
Reply:I love the prescriptives flawless skin foundation %26amp; powder they are oil free %26amp; I apply them with foundation brush. Also there is a makeup setter called model in a bottle that you can find online @ website with same name, it sets your makeup %26amp; seems to keep my oily skin @ bay for most of day. I also sometimes will use a rice powder paper in natural that you can find at sally's beauty supply.
Reply:get blotting tissues. when your face gets oily you just dab them on your face and it soaks up the oil. they are cheap too... also try using an exfoliating cream.... and wear less makeup becasue that sounds like it could be you problem. and use powder cover up instead of liquid
Reply:drenk lot of water atleast 3liters a day and put drop of lemon...
Reply:drink LOTS of water %26amp; use mary kay oil mattifier %26amp; acne treatment gel. that's the only over the counter product that worked for my skin.


I hope this helps if it does not email me and I'll give u another way to get ride of oily skin.
Reply:i suggest you wash your face AT LEAST twice a day...once before school/work then right before bed........use DIAL soap FIRST then use CLINQUE face wash.....after ur face is dry, use a cotton swab and put on CLINQUE astringent (can't spell) it may burn.......that's ok.....and if that doesn't work.....try using a powder instead of cream to cover ur face when wearing makeup..... apply powder throughout day to cover up oil.......Oh, and try to use a face mask that reduces oil too....
Reply:Try Neautrogena Black Head Eliminating Scrub. Its for blackheads but my God does it try out your skin! I had very old skin and I used it and within 2 days I saw such a difference! Look for products with "salicylic acid" because that is what will dry your skin. Don't overuse them though because trust me, you don't want dry skin either!
Reply:i've been through it. stop using so much makeup. just wash your face 3-5 times a day, and you can also buy blotting sheets(you can use this at school, its quick, just dab and the oil is gone) drink lots of water...you've probably heard this before, but it works.....if you still need something...brush a little baby powder on the oil parts of your face...it absorbs excess oil

Reply:I have really oily skin too, so I know how you feel. First of all, DO NOT wash your face more than twice a day! This can actually stimulate the oil glands to produce more oil! Secondly, use a face wash specifically for oily skin (Collective Wellbeing makes a fantastic one!), use toner then a mattifying moisturizer (Oil of Olay Complete all day moisture lotion SPF 15 for combination/oily skin works pretty well). I use Bare Escentuals mineral foundation, which I love. It has great coverage and, as it's a powder, does help to control the oil. Before I use this though, I use Dr. Feelgood by Benefit. It's a face balm that helps to sop up the oil. I also use it throughout the day over my makeup (it's sheer) to help with the greasies, or I use Clean %26amp; Clear's blotting sheets. Remember to wash your face well at night and to use a good clay based mask once or twice a week to help keep your pores clean and your face less oily. I would recommend a good moisturizer at night (you can go for a heavier product here) because, even if your skin is oily, it still needs moisture and nutrients. Hope this helps and good luck!
Reply:I have extremely oily skin too and I just switched to Arbonne Products. They have a line that is for acne but it treats oily skin. A peppermint cleanser, toner and lotion. It smells great and works really well too. Also, it does not dry your skin. They also have a vitamin supplement to help with that problem.
Reply:Wash your face frequently with cold water and use a face pack of grated apple. You can find more cheap, effective and natural home remedies for oily skin at the link provided.

What type of skin disorder do I have?

I have dark colored skin with light colored spots on my sides of my back and under my arms. They do not itch and they are not scaly. I have no symptoms at all except for the physical appearance. What could they be? Where can I get more info?
What type of skin disorder do I have?
Kinda sounds like Vitiligo to me.





Vitiligo (vit-ill-EYE-go) is a disorder in which white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body. This happens because the cells that make pigment (color) in the skin are destroyed. These cells are called melanocytes (ma-LAN-o-sites). Vitiligo can also affect the mucous membranes (such as the tissue inside the mouth and nose) and the eye.
What type of skin disorder do I have?
Go to the doctor.
Reply:It could be Tinea Versicolor. If you google it, you could read all about it and see if you think this is what you have.
Reply:Kelly may be correct. It is probably a harmless fungus.





A simple cure is Selsun Blue shampoo. Apply it to the spotted areas, leave it on for a few hours, wipe off. Repeat daily until spots are gone.


If the skin becomes irritated, stop applying the shampoo and/or apply less often or for shorter amounts of time.





You are not contagious.

Red/pink skin?

I'm thirteen years old (relevant?)





Uhm, I have freckles that sweep across my cheeks and nose and under the freckles it's kind of red. The redness looks like LIGHT blush! It's really light under my nose and darker under my cheeks. But, it's all still light. The redness in my cheeks doesn't bother me much, but on my nose it does.





Then, in between my eye brows is a red mark. My friends think I pluck there since it's red, but I don't touch it.





I'm caucasion, but I have a /slight/ olive tint to my skin because my dad was half mexican. But, I'm definately not dark but I'm not /too/ pale.


I don't know if that's relevant, but I don't want to leave anything out. I know how some skin tones have some effects.





What is this?


How can I get rid of it?
Red/pink skin?
you might have a slight case of rosacea. if it bothers you that much you can use green concealer it cancels out the red. and try using calming face wash and moisturizer w/ collodial oatmeal (aveno make some). and one more thing if you like to pamper yourself make a mask of dry plain oatmeal and plain yogurt, apply it to the face for 10 min. its a natural soother!
