Hair and Beauty Tips

Oxyclean won't ruin your shit. Give it a try. I've found that it definitely works better than most other things. That doesn't mean it will take all stains out, but it's probably your best bet, and it's cheap.

i thought everybody knew hairspray gets bubble gum out of hair

it also gets pen/ ink stains out of clothes. I watched a pen mark literally disappear off a silk blouse, like magic. where did the ink go? I don't know

I add it to my laundry with the detergent. I also use it for soaking purposes if something is really dirty, then toss it in the wash.

the reason for my posting - i've no idea what to do with my hands & mug. seems i always was playin w/ my whiskers. my beard chin area was just a bit longer than my hand is wide, can't do that now, i'm a 1/2 inch long tonight

guess i fidgeted w/ myself moreso than i realized
this aint worth a shit as of yet

chadwick'll be back in beard-business/beard-country in a month. I'd put money on it!

My guy does that with his eyebrows when lost in thought. I tell him he's gonna end up like Bowie - minus the mullet and large hoops.



(note that my immature ass refrainedfrom joking about your half-inch comment )

chadwick

oh i've a beard for sure, it's just nice & polite v' gnarly & fulla earthy materials. seems bowie fidgeted w/ his eyebrows one too many times. i myself was being immature when writing on my half inchness

I'm going through this thread, and not really seeing it touched on too much, so I'm just going to go ahead and ask....
I never had acne as a kid....I have it now as an adult....I eat well...I drink lots of water, I wash my face with good face wash that gets my face deep clean but I continue to break out...I've tried everything I can come up with....so I come to you guys...I have oily/combination skin.

Ideas?

Stress can cause acne, I'm sorry to say. It causes imbalances in the hormones and leqds to all kinds of shit, as many of us know, and acne is one of those things (apparently it's a fairly common symptom). Unfortunately, i have no advice for that that you probably haven't already heard.

oh, and also overuse of deep cleansers can also over stress skin causing breakouts. Might want to use the deep cleaner every other day and use a gentle neutral cleanser in-between.

PJSiren

Hmmm, I didn't know that RK, it says for daily use...I'll use it one day, then my goat soap one and back and forth and see if that helps, thanks!

I thought about the stress too PJ_Soul....but I have the same breakouts even during times when I'm not going through stressful stuff, so I just don't know...I can't figure it out.

The acne started at around age 23/24....and I never had it growing up except for the occasional pimple...

PJ_Soul

It does at the very least seem hormone related.... have you talked to a doctor? I knew a guy with terrible adult acne and he ended up on some prescription meds for it that he took religiously for 6 months and it really really helped. However, he couldn't drink while taking it, so that's a point against it, lol.

PJSiren

haha, I don't drink anyway....I had a horrible incident with whiskey about 2 years ago and I haven't been able to stomach alcohol since....

but no I haven't talked to one yet....that's my next step....I've been trying to solve it on my own.

ldent42

it's also a side effect of some medications. Maybe double check the side effects list of anything you're on. It might be all the way at the bottom but it could still effect you

Yup, the three ladies above me have great input, PJS. All worth considering.

And, do NOT let them give you Accutane. Bad bad stuff.

I started getting acne in my thirties. Went to the dermatologist, spent a shit ton on scripts Both pills and lotions. After a few years I finally bit the bullet and did Proactive. In 2 weeks my skin was clear. I used it for years b/c I was afraid to stop but when I did my face never broke out again. freakin miracle that stuff. I swear by it.

I tried proactive....It didn't work for me.....lol, see I've tried it all...I've used Proactive, I've used Cetaphil, Witch Hazel, Clinique, Neutrogena, Clearasil(sp?)(as well as all the other grocery store brands that I can't think of names), Mary Kay, Avon, tried the toothpaste trick, my regular doctor gave me a RX spot treatment when I lived in KY, it didn't do anything, I've used adult care spot treatment....I use only the best make ups because I can't use anything with parabens in them due to my migraines, so I never buy make up except mascara at the grocery store, I buy my make up at Ulta or Sephora. I try really hard not to touch my face through out the day....I drink a lot of water, I don't drink much soda....even though we can get free soda at work....I do splurge on chocolate on occasion, but I don't feel like it's often enough to be the problem....I eat fairly decently, I eat my veggies and salads, and stuff. I don't drink coffee, though I have no idea if that would be an acne causer or not, I drink tea sometimes. I looked up the medication I've been on since the issue started back when I was 23/24 which is the celexa, and it said way way way down almost buried acne, like it was an after thought side effect that was reported infrequently. So I don't know if that's got anything to do with it...I have been off the medication at times as well and still had the acne so I don't know.
