Expert Answer

Sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more is recommended for daily use, especially if you are outdoors frequently. Sunscreens can be chemical or physical—both are beneficial in terms of skin cancer prevention.

Question

How can I start improving my face if I never cared about it before?

Community Answer

Start by washing your face every day with cleanser, then gradually start wearing makeup if it makes you feel prettier. You can start by wearing mascara and blush, then move up to more complicated things like foundation and eyeliner.

Question

How can I ensure I am getting enough sleep to prevent dark circles?

Community Answer

Although the proper amount of sleep depends on your age, the average person needs at least seven to nine hours of sleep per night. This should be enough to prevent dark circles from forming.

Question

What if I have sensitive skin?

Community Answer

Check your moisturizers, cleansers, etc. for harsh chemicals. If they have ingredients like petrolatum,phenoxyethanol, parabens, demithecone, Hydroxymethylglycinate, Bronopol, etc. these could be damaging to you skin. Also if your skin is sensitive I recommend not applying makeup that covers the whole of your face e.g. foundation, bronzers. There is a great company called "Simple" that makes products for sensitive skin but, as always, check ingredients first.

Question

How can I get a permanent skin glow and stop getting spots?

Community Answer

You can try to exfoliate your skin three times a week, and put vaseline on your face everyday. If these methods do not work, you can consult a dermatologist for professional medical advice.

Question

My mother said that I can not have makeup. What should I do?

Community Answer

Don't use makeup. Just take good care of yourself and have good hygiene. Girls don't need makeup to be pretty anyway.

Question

How do I get pretty skin on my face?

Community Answer

You can rub your face with half a lemon. Let it dry and leave for 15 minutes. Then wash your face with clean water and remove the lemon juice completely. It's the best way to remove dead skin, but be careful to apply a moisturizer after it. Try it twice a week.

Question

How can I have a slim nose without makeup?

Community Answer

Draw more attention to your lips, as that can create the illusion that you have a smaller nose. Try exfoliating them with a lip scrub or toothbrush so that they seem more plump and red. You can even put on a tinted lip balm or bold lipstick (like bright red).

Question

How can I get a "Moss brow" when my eyebrows don't have an arch?

Community Answer

Try going to the salon to get your eyebrows threaded into the shape you want. Or you could lift your eyebrows in an arch shape to give them that sharp look.

How do I get beautiful skin?

Annie

Community Answer

It depends on what your face looks like right now. If you have lots of acne, get it treated. If not, wash your face twice a day and moisturize. Don't touch your face and take off all your makeup before bed.

Keep your face clean, and wear lip balm to make your lips look pretty. Your mom will relent soon and besides, some people think you're beautiful already.

Question

How do I get a pimple off my chin?

Annie

Community Answer

Pimple patches work great. One way to reduce redness is to put ice on it. Try not to put too much make up on it. Wash it and wait. It normally takes a few days.
