Anti-Aging Skin and Body

Archive for November, 2008

On Oprah they had one of the world't most famous plastic surgeons and he said that the BEST anti wrinkle cream is….sunblock.

I was just reading about that show a few minutes ago on her website. Is this what you are talking about:

Makeup – I usually use whatever is on sale until I found out what was in it! Animal by product! Not to mention all the animal testing. I'm looking for a good makeup that isn't outrageous and doesn't use or test on animals.

Skin Care – I use Clinique, but it is SO expensive. What other good options are out there? Again no animal testing or ingredients. My face is kind of dry and oily at the same time. Kind of red and blotchy and just not as pretty as I would like. Plus I'm getting freckles from tanning bed and sun! I tan in the spring just a little bit.

The Body Shop is cruelty free (no testing on animals or buying from suppliers that do), are 100% vegetarian, and have some vegan lines as well. Their brushes don't use animal hair, just about the only thing keep them from not being vegan is honey, but that's mostly in lotions and shower gels. If you have combination skin, their seaweed or vitamin E lines are great. Their skincare is reasonably priced and you can buy from any Body Shop store, thebodyshop.com, amazon.com, or from a consultant you can find at thebodyshopathome.com.

Kay, First thanks for checking out my question… Now the fun part… got any family secrets, folk remedies, or herbal solutions for skin care, hair care, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, laundry detergents…Make-up too please! I would REALLY appreciate it and anyone else can look at the answers to my question to save from having to spend five of their own points to ask something similar! The more the merrier

Any folk or herbal remedies for longterm skin care, hair care, stuff I can make at home instead of buying in a store… Really appreciate the help!!! I am a college student who has virtually given up on the Make-up industry and am a broke student with oily skin and hair, and severe acne… so pretty much any tips on how to make any products at home to keep from buying them in store would be appreciated… thanks again in advance for your assistance…

Best wishes,


I don't know any for skin or hair care. But if you are looking for cleaners water mixed with baking soda and vinigar are really good. Vinigar and water great for glass. I learned that when my hubby had empysema and I could not use anything with a scent.
Sorry I can't help with the hair and face thing. I think vinigar is a good rinse for the hair, removes all the soap.

I was going to buy Serious Skin Care's liquid lasor hair removal product (just for my arms) but it's expensive, and after looking at the reviews on it, I'd rather use something cheaper…and that I could get in person. Someone mentioned using Nair instead (but I assume they were talking about for their legs) but that made me think…what about for arms? Would that work?

I just wondered if it'd grow back any differently…if it'd be safe, and if anyone thinks it's a bad idea. If I shouldn't use it on my arms, is there anything you recommend?

I plan on eventually getting lasor hair removal…but want something to use on my arms for the time being.

Thanks.
