Why does my helix piercing randomly looks like its about to 'swallow' my jewelry?

I got my helix piercing eleven weeks ago. It was doing perfectly fine until about 2 days ago. Until then, it didn%26#039;t even hurt or anything. Well yes, I got it done with a gun.. stupid I know. But yeah, what%26#039;s done is done. Anyways, now its suddenly really swollen and hurts to lay on. Its very swollen and looks as if its about to swallow my piercing! Anybody with any advice would be nice :)

What exactly is a pore? and what makes it differnt from pimples/zits?

if you look on some products it will say %26quot;cleans deep down tothe pores%26quot; i always wondered what a pore is .. and is it different then zits? or is it another word for a zit?

What exactly is a pore? and what makes it differnt from pimples/zits?
your face has little holes in it, i guess that%26#039;s the best way to describe them.


and your pores are those little holes.


they let your skin breathe but if you don%26#039;t wash your face or let your pores get clogged up, you get a zit.
Reply:pores are holes
Reply:i always thought a pore was little holes where sweat comes out of
Reply:tiny holes
Reply:ok, i%26#039;m a dermatologist and pores are little holes in your face, when u see a blackhead that means u have dirt in one of your pores and when you have a pimple that mean you have puss in your pores if you look closely in the mirror you can see your pore.Zits are when maybe you used a product that your skin isn%26#039;t used to or maybe your skin is oily and your not


washing your face corectly
Reply:Humans breathe in two different ways - the first way is through your lungs, the second way is through your skin. There are tiny, tiny openings all over your skin called %26quot;pores%26quot;, these allow for a small amount of oxygen exchange, for the blood vessels close to the surface of your skin. Pores become clogged with dirt and oil, which is what causes pimples, zits, acne. The reason that most products clean deep into the pores, is to prevent acne by making sure dirt doesn%26#039;t get trapped in your skin :).

I have tattoos and im 18, is it destined to be ruined when im in my 40s?

I work at a restaurant, and i see all these older people with terrible looking tattoos, i dont want this to happen to mine, why do their tattoos looks so bad
I have tattoos and im 18, is it destined to be ruined when im in my 40s?
For some older people their skin thins out and tears easily. It depends on how well you take care of your skin. I got a tatoo when I was 18 and I am in my 40%26#039;s now and the only difference in my tatoo is that the color has faded some but not much. It also depends on how much exposure your tatoos get from the sun. Just take care of your skin and you won%26#039;t have any problems.
I have tattoos and im 18, is it destined to be ruined when im in my 40s?
It%26#039;s probably cause when they had it done, technology wasn%26#039;t as good or the artist doing it wasn%26#039;t very experienced/talented. I should expect your tattoo will remain intact. But when your 40, you might have regrets about them.
Reply:I%26#039;m also 18 and I have 7 tattoos right now - my chest, my wrists, my forearm, my shoulder/bicep, my hips, and the back of my leg.





Most people ruin their tattoos by stopping aftercare once their healed. Even after your tattoo has finished the healing process, you need to wear sunblock on your tattoos when you%26#039;re in the sun, avoid tanning and long-term sun exposure, careful in chlorine pools, and always make sure to be careful washing it in the shower.





All of those things can fade your tattoo, so to keep it in good condition, take good care of your skin! Don%26#039;t stop taking care of your ink just because it%26#039;s healed!
Reply:I turn 42 in a few weeks.





Yeah, avoid the sun. Even sunblock only slows the damage, so just avoid it entirely or at least severely minimize exposure. This is good for you skin in general, not just the tattoos. Don%26#039;t smoke. CNN had an article a while back that even irregular smoking had deleterious effects similar to tanning.





Those two are the worst things that you can do, and for most people the hardest things to avoid. %26quot;It%26#039;s just a little sun%26quot; becomes a regular thing, and then 10-20 years down the line you have a load of wrinkles and smeary ink.





Aside from that, don%26#039;t binge drink, eat right, get enough sleep and have a normal regular exercise regimen. There probably will be some softening of the tattoo over time, but the extreme blurring is mostly sun %26amp; smoking.





You can get the work touched up if the blurring is annoying; cheap, and pretty effective.
Reply:it all depends on the persons body. back in those days ink wasn%26#039;t like it is now. also time does take its toll on ink if your in the sun or not taking care of yourself. any thing else if you need to just go get it touched up if need be. also just take care of them too.
Reply:Where is your tattoo?


If it is placed in an area that sees a lot of movement, then, yes. It will distort if you gain or lose weight, if you skin starts to sag or if you move around a lot (if it is on your side).


Also, the sun is now your enemy. Don%26#039;t go tanning. The sun will make it fade and blur and in 30 years even you won%26#039;t be able to tell what it is.





Now you will need to get in shape and stay that way. It is best for your skin to stay hydrated and not to have a lot of fat underneath. At least, if you want your tattoos to look good for a long time.
Reply:Well it depends on who does your tattoos and how you take care of your body.I have lots of tattoos,the first one I ever got was done over 20 years ago and it is not awful looking.It%26#039;s a little faded but I think it depends on also what you get.If you cover your entire arm with lots of blue,black and such,Then yeah when you get older it might look like melting smurfs..just really depends on how you age and how your skin holds up.
Reply:cause they got a crappy artist, and probably never used sunscreen. wear it everyday and they will always look cool.

Reply:I asked a similar question to a guy who was at the SF Body Art Expo a year or so back. If you have work yourself, especially if it%26#039;s non-trivial, they tend not to react with a look like %26quot;what do you think, dumba**?%26quot;





He was in his fifties and had been getting work done since his early 20s. He admitted it wasn%26#039;t constant and really couldn%26#039;t give me a precise answer, but believes it was on the order of a nice sportscar. He didn%26#039;t elaborate much beyond that, so I%26#039;d hazard a guess that it was into six figures.





Since he studiously avoided the sun, even the work that was decades old still looked good.





One thing - he didn%26#039;t have %26quot;complete%26quot; coverage. It stopped more or less at his ankles, wrists %26amp; above his neck. He had some stuff on his toes %26amp; fingers, a little on hit feet %26amp; backs of hands, but not that much. If he wore a nice suit with a pair of opera gloves, you%26#039;d think he was some rich tycoon. I saw the car he drove to the expo... he might just be that.
Reply:sever grand. just think about 100 bucks an hour to do work done and depending on how detailed you want it the more it will cost.
Reply:It is expensive, but the first thing you should do is find an artist that you like and trust. Look at their portfolio, when you find an artist whose art style matches the look you are going for, talk to them. Tell them your plan. They may be the type that wants to power it out in a few marathon sessions, or they may want to do a little bit every few weeks or once a month . . .


I am working on a full backpiece that has taken almost a year at this point. I go in at least once a month and get a little bit more done. At this point I have paid probably $3000.00 and he has worked for many hours on it.





You should make friends with your artist. Mine tattoos me for free occasionally.

Tanning help!!?

okay, i am really white and i want to get tan! what should i do, i know i can go out in the sun, and i have been doing that but it doesnt look like its working. If anyone knows what i should do please tell me!

usally tanning oil and setting out in the sun for about 25 mins work but use the right tanning oil im very white too but my tans gettin there ;) good luck!

Reply:For all information and details about tanning please check out http://use-tanning.blogspot.com/
Reply:go to a tanning bed


it works good


and its pretty fast results
Reply:i got a spray tan and they look really real.


but the only problem is you can%26#039;t go in chlorinated pools or it goes streaky.
Reply:You may not have been tanning enough.


Definitely try tanning oil and sitting out in the sun everyday for about a half hour to an hour at least. Even after doing that everyday, it could take a couple weeks to develop a noticeable, steady tan.





There are other, quicker options. I wouldn%26#039;t recommend fake tan sprays or lotions...they tend to look really fake and cheap.





But you could try a tanning bed or a professional spray tan at a tanning salon. Both produce quicker results and look flawless (if not overdone, of course).





But if you still want to stick to laying out in the sun, it%26#039;s all about using a good tanning oil and sitting out for a good amount of time each day consistently.





=)
Reply:You use tanning oil, but its a little more complicated than that. Because you are so white, you don%26#039;t have a base tan. That takes the longest. Once you do that, you%26#039;ll be good. But you may not tan as dark as you may want if it%26#039;s in your genes. Always remember though, the sun is a powerful thing, don%26#039;t abuse it.
Reply:I would try a tanning bed, you lay in it for up to 20 mins and it will tan you just as good as lying in the sun for hours!! Plus you can by a tanning accelerator and that will help. However a tanning bed is just as harmful as the sun, and if you dont tan well outdoors its not likely that you will tan well indoors.
Reply:Hey I had the same problem I was so pasty white and then summer came around and I wanted to wear shorts and I did%26#039;nt want to blind people. So I decided since the sun was not working and I did%26#039;nt have enough time to lay out in the sun. I got a membership at the tanning salon and I use the jergens touch of sun every other day and now I have a beautiful tan and always wear shorts.

sorry for not helping much.
Reply:Well it is peeling because the skin is dead and has to come off. But try to stay out of hot water it will only burn your skin further and cause more peeling. Try using a body scrub it will take the skin that is ready to come off. Just use it easy and dont scub hard, let the product do the work. And it should help. Make sure you are using a good sun screen so that you dont peel more. Hope this helps
Reply:It will peel as natural way of restoring your skin cells.


You can only remidy the affects with moisturizers and staying out of the sun.
Reply:use aloe vera gel. it makes it better but i don%26#039;t think anything can actually heel the peeling. it always happens to me and goes away by itself in about two weeks
Reply:you can%26#039;t...you burned your skin beyond help and your new skin under it is sloughing off the dead skin, the best way to avoid this is not to get burned...Sunburn is cumulative and after a lifetime of exposure and burns you possibly end up with skin cancer... I know, I have fair skin and have lived most of my life in Florida and recently had three pre cancerous spots removed from my nose... I%26#039;m now 50... instead of trying to stop your skin from peeling, which you can%26#039;t do...I would help it along as much as I can with lightly scrubbing with a louffa sponge and body wash... then apply moisturizer to help the new skin... you%26#039;ll slough off faster and look better faster...


Aloe Vera Gel from Banana Boat is great for relieving the discomfort of sun exposure...


If you ever get really badly burned and need immediate relief...go to a drug store and buy Second Skin Gel Pads by Spenco, they will give you instant relief from severe pain and assist the healing process.... I%26#039;ve had to go that route before and I%26#039;m telling you them pads are wonderful...

Cleaning with any good cleanser (no harsh chemicals or fragrance oils) helps get rid of whiteheads and stuff. You need to use something that helps reduce the size of pores to stop the whiteheads from coming back.





I like Clay %26amp; Tea Tree oil Sudz by Mineral Girlz. The clay cuts oil %26amp; dirt while reducing pore size and the Tea Tree Oil acts as an natural antibiotic to zap zits %26amp; blemishes.

they are usually from sweating.

Reply:Stay away from products with harsh chemicals (just about anything in a drug store or pharmacy area) and synthetic fragrances. These things can make skin worse.





I highly recommend Clay %26amp; Tea Tree Sudz by Mineral Girlz. It zaps zits with tea tree oil (which as antibiotic properties) and removes dirt/oil with the clay. Also shrinks pores.





If you have really dry skin, try Oatmeal Milk %26amp; Honey Sudz instead. It softens %26amp; moisturizes skin while stripping away dirt and oil.

Does your skin get better if you use no lotion?

Does your skin get better if you use no lotion?
Yes. Most lotions have water (bad )or alcohol(worse) that dries out you skin. Your skin has enuf naturals oils in it to keep it soft %26amp; fresh.





If you do get driness. Try some vitamin or aloe lotion (Baby oil).





And drink a LOT of water. Remember skin cells are mostly water %26amp; staying hydrated keeps them full %26amp; your skin soft.

Reply:Stay away from lotions with harsh chemicals (just about anything in a drug store or pharmacy area) and synthetic fragrances. These things can make skin worse.





I highly recommend washing your face twice daily with Oatmeal Milk %26amp; Honey Sudz by Mineral Girlz. It softens skin without having to use a lotion.





If you have really dry skin, try the Mineral Girlz Cleanze as it is a 3-in-1 natural product that cleans, tones, and moisturizes all in one step.

Skin problems?

Well a few days ago I shaved my ***. Im not doing that ever again. Anyways, it was alright for a little while, but yesterday it itched alot when i was outside working all day long. I was sweating like crazy because it was like 95 out and humid as hell and i didnt get to shower at all. Well anyways later that night i noticed I have red like pimply bumps on the top/middle part of my *** and lower back. I shaved that part, but im not sure if its like hair growing back, or maybe its like heat rash, or even acne? Im not sure what it is, or what to do to get rid of it. HELP?!?

Does it hurt to get your belly button pieced?

and what can you do you do with your belly button when it is pieced and can you bathe
Does it hurt to get your belly button pieced?
It hurts some people. When I got mine done, it didn%26#039;t hurt at all..I felt a little pinch and that was it. The clamp that they put on to hold your skin tight hurt worse then the actual piercing. If the needle is sharp enough (which it should be) it should go through your skin without pain. You can still take showers, but the piercer told me to get in backwards (for real) so the water hits my back first then turn around, you don%26#039;t want to much pressure shot at your piercing. It takes about 3 to 6 months to heal completely. You should clean it twice a day, your piercer should give you antibacterial soap to clean it with, or salt water works too. Always wash your hands before you touch your belly as you don%26#039;t want to get germs in it. If you%26#039;re getting it done professionally (which i hope you are) they will give you the complete run down of how to properly take care of it..and what you can and can%26#039;t do.
Does it hurt to get your belly button pieced?
Doesn%26#039;t hurt.


I%26#039;ve had my belly button pierced 3 times.


(frequently in and out of hospitals that made me take it out for operations, not being able to put it back on in time before the hole closed up)


Well anyways, it doesn%26#039;t hurt.


It just feels like you%26#039;re being pinched for a second.


Your first time getting your belly button pierced will always be the least painful because if you have already had it pierced and are going to repierce it.


There is scarr tissue from your last belly ring that is kind of hard for the needle to go through.


But that doesn%26#039;t really hurt either.


It%26#039;s kind of a mixture of the pinching and you poking your belly button with your finger.


You can still take showers.


But you have to clean the belly ring very often.


The place you get your belly ring should give you some kind of ointment.


If not, then use %26quot;Dial%26quot; soap.


Very popular in this case.


NEVER use alchohol.


it is too strong for the puncture in your skin and may cause irritation or infecton.


Move your belly ring around frequently so that it can heal properly.


When first having your belly button pierced while it%26#039;s healing of the next 6 months or so, ONLY wear %26quot;SURGICAL STEEL%26quot;


if you use any other ring other than surgical steel, it will most likely become infected.


And ii have found that the infection is worse than the piercing part.


If it%26#039;s bad enough it can even kill your skin and just fall off by itself.


Fall off as in the skin on top of your belly ring dries and eventually just falls off with the belly ring.


All of this information is from self-experience.


Hope ii was of some help.=]

Reply:Any tan whatsoever. Your skin changes in color to alert you that severe damage has been done. The word %26quot;tanning%26quot; itself refers to the process of stretching and curing animal hide in the sun to produce leather.





Despite what your fashion magazines tell you, a %26quot;healthy%26quot; tan is a myth. Do a google image search for %26quot;Skin Cancer%26quot; and then think twice about hitting that tanning salon or going to the beach unprotected. It%26#039;s a very unpleasant thing.

Reply:you shoulkd use a face wash that specifictly treats oil.


and that should work


unless you wnat to buy a 3 or 4 step acne product that had toner and lotion in it. that will work because the toner gets deep into your poors and the lotion will moisterize your face, the oil will vanish.


you could also just buy a toner seperatly
Reply:Make sure your cleanser is gentle, extra oil production could be caused by over cleansing with too harsh of a cleanser.





Try something gentle twice a day and go easy on the lotion and makeup, as for moisturizer be sure you are using a non-oil based one designed for oily skin.





And if you are not using a moisturizer, do start, you are never to young to use good skin products...don%26#039;t forget the sunscreen either!





Good luck!

You can get them from practically anywhere (I get mine from Wal-Mart) and they%26#039;re only like 6 dollars, which is WAY cheaper than other blotting sheets and proactiv stuff. There is 50 in a pack. All you have to do is go to the bathroom or something and then take one out and wipe it all over the oily spots on your face. The blotting sheet turns clear in places where it picks up oil, so you can actually see that it works. Also, it doesn%26#039;t smudge or pick up your makeup. I swear, these things are amazing.

Any suggestions 4 me?
I would exfoliate your skin with a loofah and a body scrub. I suggest using loofah mitts and scrubbing your skin with St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Its kinda strange that you can actually see the tanned layer of your skin come off, as if you had a sunscreen. This will not completely lighten your skin to its natural color, but i will lighten it. You can also use a buffer and do this around you knees and elbows. Then again, if this doesn%26#039;t work fo you, you can always wait until Winter for your tan to fade?

talk to whoever does your piercing to get more info
Reply:Earlobe piercings take up to eight to ten weeks to fully heal.





Directly ripped from this website:





%26quot;1- Clean your piercing only once a day, preferably in the shower while lathering up your hair. If you clean it more than once you risk weakening your body鈥檚 own natural defense to heal itself.





2- Take a B vitamin with zinc. This promotes healing. Also, add a multivitamin to your regime to speed up healing and boost immunity.





3- Check for hair around the ear piercing. Hair can transmit hair products, bacteria, dirt, oil, and other irritants into the wound. A small pin can remove the hair if its wrapped tightly, just don鈥檛 accidentally poke the ear itself.





4- Clean pillowcases more often than normal so that the bacteria don鈥檛 have time to breed and move into wound.





5- Avoid public telephones. Again, just a bacteria and irritant reduction technique.





6- Use your head when using shampoos and hair care products. These can work into the wound and inflame or irritate it. Always use dye free or perfume free products while you are in the healing stages of a piercing.





7- Rinse with saline to remove the crust that builds up. This crust is from clear fluid that gets secreted called lymph. It is harmless, but the crust has sharp edges that may damage the skin around the wound. %26quot;








Also, please don%26#039;t get a piercing done with a piercing gun! It is very unsanitary and can spread hepatitis!





Hope I helped.
Reply:Make sure you get it done by a pro (NOT CLAIRES OR PIERCING PAGODA) who uses a needle. For aftercare, clean it 2x daily with a sea salt solution (dissolve SEA salt in warm water- it shouldn%26#039;t taste saltier than your tears). Also use the sea salt soultion and a q-tip to clean the front and back of the piercing from lymph.

How long does it take for a black person to get their original skin color?
Try wearing a strong suncream. Just the same as anyone, white or black you have gotten a tan from being outside. It should fade in a few weeks and sunblock will help stop it developing again. Using a body scrub should help a little, but careful not to overdo it, you might dry out your skin! :)
Reply:really you have a tan.





U will see a change in the tan over a week or two if your sun exposure is minimal...





but for the tan to truly be gone...it could be as much as 3 to 6 months.
Reply:yes, use body scrub everyday. and you don%26#039;t necesarily need to stay inside for a week but you do have to stay out of the sun by covering up your skin entirely.
Reply:OMG, you are just tanned because you are in the sun a lot. Stop believing people about the body scrub and staying in the house will make you pale, not light. Start loving yourself and accepting yourself regardless of your skin color.

Reply:STOP IT.......
Reply:Your posting has the title of lip piercing for a 14/15 yr old ? Unfortunately, that%26#039;s not question, it%26#039;s more a phrase. However later in the body of the question there is another question;I wanna know on a scale of 1-10 if it hurts? %26amp;%26amp; what they do %26amp;%26amp; how long it takes. On a scale of 1-10 if it hurts! What they do? They jam a piece of metal through your lip! This isn%26#039;t exactly brain surgery as far as the technique. I can%26#039;t tell you how long it will take or how much of low-cost but I can%26#039;t tell you how much it decreases what people will think of you when they see it. At 14 years of age I think that this is an unwise thing for you to consider doing. If this thing gets infected and you end up losing part of your lip will all your friends be impressed with how you look. I have never in my life seen a lip piercing that I thought was at all complementary to the person who had it. In my opinion, it is the type of thing done by someone who has self-esteem issues and wants to temporarily feel good by doing something outrageous for different. But, when you like it or not, in our society lip, and towing piercing sends a singular message to the recipient, and that message is that the person in question has some %26quot;free living%26quot; habits in their life, and usually is sexually open/explorative. I am not advancing that as a philosophy however it would be ludicrous to deny that that is something which is present in our society.





I had seen 2 responses so far into your question that seemed to be opposite to each other. The first one was from


Miss Rita, who wrote;personally to me, a lip ring is not SLUTTY this goes to the first comment..





yes you can get one if you would like but don%26#039;t try to get other people%26#039;s opinions on what to do with yourself %26#039;cause they%26#039;ll do anything to put you down, and do whatever the hell you like it%26#039;s your decision, go with your instinct, make yourself happy if that%26#039;s what you want, cause happiness means everything.


As far as not getting other people%26#039;s opinions on what to do with your self you%26#039;ve already done that by posting the question. As regards going with your instinct, how many people have you ever talked to or met who got a lip piercing because of some type of instinct? As regards to the advice to make yourself happy if that%26#039;s what you want, cause(sic) happiness means everything. After living a few years on this planet I can tell you that happiness does not mean everything. Sometimes there is more to life than just feeling happy. There is helping others, there is realizing that you have been able to prevent tragedy/loss in another person%26#039;s life without necessarily having to feel happy about it. Ask yourself a few questions. You are about to have surgery, let%26#039;s say that they%26#039;re going to fix some problem in your heart that you had been born with what was starting because you problem now. Your cardiac surgeon comes in with a lip piercing. What are you going to think? Please don%26#039;t tell me that you wouldthink he/she looked cool, because I think that%26#039;s very unlikely.


It may not be a real bad idea for you to discuss this with your parents. Our 14 years old, and they have lived a few years longer, and seen a few more things over the years thing you have so far.





The second person to respond was Joe Jonas who wrote;don%26#039;t get it peirced. it looks really stupid. and you%26#039;ll regret you ever did it when youre older. so PLEASE do not do it!!


This sound like excellent advice and it sound like either the person, or potentially an acquaintance of hers did something like this and regretted it afterwards. Learning from the mistakes of others is one of the first signs of wisdom. I can just imagine what you look like missing a big chunk of your upper lip because of some sort of complications/infection. All so that you could jam a piece of metal through your lip?
Reply:I would wait if I was you.


Most legit piercers will not pierce someone who is under 16, even with parents consent. If a place is offering you a piercing at your age, more often then not the piercer isn%26#039;t good. You can get all kinds of diseases at theses places. Not to mention a really crappy looking piercing.





I waited until I was 17 to get my lip pierced. I had my mom take me to a good, clean shop that I trusted.





Personally, I didn%26#039;t think it hurt at all. I actually got my lip pierced twice in one day and felt fine. You need to make sure to clean it as much as possible to prevent infection though.











P.S.


To all those people who think piercings are slutty, or that they reduce your chances of getting a good job, your wrong.





I have Snakebite piercings. I%26#039;m not skanky at all. And I got into a really good university with them.


Discriminating against someone because they are pieced or tattooed is just as wrong as being prejudice about anything else. Just because I want to modify my body doesn%26#039;t make me a bad person.











Edit: My piercings cost about 80 dollars for two lip piercings.


It only took about 10 minutes and it was done and over with.

Why is my face more oily at night?

because the oil builds up as the day goes on. my skin is the same way.


there%26#039;s no way of avoiding it but oil blotting sheets help.

Don%26#039;t know, but apply cold water water on your face and wipe, the oil will go away.

probly because it builds up through the day, then at night it breaks through.
Reply:ITS CALL PROTEIN,


TALK TO YOU BOYFRIEND ABOUT IT,
Reply:Remember, oily skin needs moisture as well. The more you try to dry out the oil, the more oil your skin will produce.





If you use an oil on your skin overnight, it will start to balance itself out. I know it sounds crazy but it really does work--it feels gross the first few times you try it but you%26#039;ll get used to. Also, you%26#039;ll love the results so much, you%26#039;ll put it on every night.





Dr. Hauschka makes the best face oil (you can get it at Sephora). That%26#039;s the one I%26#039;ve been using for many years--my very oily skin is now pretty much normal.

Getting my belly button pierced..?

I%26#039;m 15 and I%26#039;m getting my belly button pierced next month for summer.


I have a couple questions though..


1. Will I be okay to swim and stuff afterwards? Obviously with it being summer I%26#039;ll be outside a lot at the beach, in the pool etc. Will I be able to do this straight after getting my belly button pierced?





2. How long will I need to leave the belly ring in for before changing it?





3. Does it hurt bad?





I%26#039;m going to Florida, Las Vegas and California straight after I get it done as part of my summer vacation, do you think it would be best to get my piercing fairly soon and that will give me some time to leave it in etc?


Help is greatly appreciated!
Getting my belly button pierced..?
when you get it done, the person doing it will tell you all you need to know, youcan go swimming after, but make sure as soon as you get out of the water you use your cleaning solution ans your sea salt (they will give you some and show you how to do it.) they will also tell you when you can change it...its usually a few weeks. you have to clean it and sea salt it every day.


it doesnt hurt that much. you get all scared and then they do it, and your like, what? its done? its really the clamp they use that hurt. the needle, you can barley feel at all.





yes, get it done soon.
Getting my belly button pierced..?
heyy





1.when i had mine done they told me that i had to wait for a least 4 to 6 weeks before i could go in pools otherwise it gets infected





2.you have to keep it in for 6 weeks then you can change it but you could buy the one you want in and take it to the shop with you and ask them to put that 1 in





3. no it doesnt hurt but dont worry cause i faited lol then had it done and was like what the hell lol


its like your ears they also numb it before








get it done fast but i wouldnt get it done if you are gojng on your hols soon as you cant go in the pool

Reply:go to the store and get some Oxy spot treatment. trust me it really works.
Reply:natural foundation works well
Reply:ok go to the store and get some pore strips one of those zit poping tools and some oil free acne wash, then tomorow try some foundation and wear the makeup lite cause then ull be less likeley to get a break out in school. oh yeah also after u use the wash the tool thingy and the pore strips try some witch hazel and then try applatying for proactiv , but folo my steps if ur in a hurry
Reply:Foundation or Cover Up. Go out and buy Clearsiel. Put tooth paste on your blemishes and go to sleep. Kepp your hands away from your face unless you washed them. Stop stressing. Wash your face 3 times a day. (2 works also.)
Reply:I don%26#039;t konw how your skin is, but you could pop them and wash with some anti-bacterial soap. wait till tomarrow and then use make up.





be warned however, some people who pop their zits get a crater left behind. best to test a small out of the way area first.
Reply:Well, usually they don%26#039;t go away overnight.


But start washing your face, with a kit such as proactiv. Your acne should start to clear up in a few days. Make sure to wash twice a day.
Reply:use concealer
Reply:try confidence
Reply:You are probable going through puberty when all of the hormonal changes in your body make your skin more oily. You are getting pimples because the pores in your skin are blocked by oil. You should shrub your face at least two times a day and use an astringent, which will help remove some of the oil. You must keep those pores in your skin clear from oil and your problem should go away. Try using Dove, Oil of Olay or some othr popular facial cleaner, not regular soap, which is probably too harsh.
Reply:youre only ugly if you believe youre ugly but try some foundation and order proavtive.
Reply:is that you in the picture? bc then you are gorgeous!





i suggest wearing some concealer and wash your face well at night
Reply:a lot of my friends use Zeno and it really works!!


clean and clear also works!


and neutrogena coverup
Reply:you need to start preventing pimples from forming. when dead skin cells mix with sebum (oil) an dirt, it forms a spot in your pores.


exfoliate 3x a week to get rid of dead skin cells. neutrogena deep clean invigorating scrub is good.


wash your face twice a day to keep it clean with an antibacterial cleanser like clean and clear or biore.


use a good moisturiser, like neutrogena visibly clear or nivea.


when you get spots, put tea tree oil on them to take away the redness and to make them heal faster. use a concealer that exactly matches your skin tone and dab a bit on to hide.
Reply:Concealer and foundation.





Some zit zapper cream you put on overnight that you can get at any drugstore.





Or try and dry them out, get a face cloth and run it under hot water, ring it and lay it on the broken out area. Keep doing that (but don%26#039;t burn yourself...)
Reply:Facewash and moisturizer with salicylic acid and put on foundation when you%26#039;re going to school..

How to put on a temporary rhinestone tattoo?

I bought a rhinestone jewelry tattoo at Claire%26#039;s but it didn%26#039;t come with any instructions. I really don%26#039;t think you put it on the same as the other temporary tattoos, but I really dont know, especially because of the rhinestones. Does anyone know how to put this type of tattoo on?
How to put on a temporary rhinestone tattoo?
What sort of backing has it got? If it has the same peel-off plastic front and paper back as temporary tatoos you probably put it on the same, but if its more %26quot;solid%26quot; looking you might try eyelash glue.

Skin problems?

Well a few days to a week ago i shaved my butt. Im not doing that ever again, but yesterday I was outside working the whole day without changing clothes, and no shower. It was extremely hot near 100 and very humid. During the afternoon my butt itched. When i got home today I noticed my butt had red pimply bumps on it. they vary in size to like small to a bigger pimple size. Its generally on the upper part of my butt and lower part of my butt. What is it? Is it like a razor burn and like the hair growing back? Or could it be razor burn? what should i do to get rid of it?Help please!!!
Skin problems?
put aloe vera on it.. and some soothing lotion
Skin problems?
It%26#039;s likely just razor burn. It%26#039;ll go away on it%26#039;s own. Don%26#039;t worry about it.
Reply:Honestly, I would say that sounds like a combo heat rash and possible razor burn or the hair growing back. Take an anti-histamine and get some acne wipes and/or some acne cream. Also another thing that could help is diaper rash cream, after all it is made specifically for irritation on the bum.

Quick cartilage piercing questions?

1. can i wear a bar in it?


2. is there any disadvantages of wearing a bar?


3. are bars better than piercing studs to wear in it?


4. what size are piercing earring gauge normally?

1. Yes


2. No unless it%26#039;s thicker


3. If it%26#039;s healed up completely, it doesn%26#039;t matter.


4. about 16g I think... Im not sure though

Sure


Nope


Piercing studs as in like regular earrings? Definitely


Usually around 16g
Reply:Yes. If you%26#039;re going to I%26#039;d recommend sticking to a shortish labret stud, they%26#039;re so much comfier





Not really, they%26#039;re great





Everything%26#039;s better than piercing studs; the backs are ridiculously unsterile and they cut into your skin like crazy





16 or 14, it just depends on what your piercer feels more comfortable with
Reply:you can wear a barbell in it, yes





There are no disadvantages i can think of.. It%26#039;s easier to heal a cartilage piercing with a barbell than a ring





Barbells are MUCH better to wear than studs. Studs are typically made out of crappy material (despite what they say) and can actually take longer to heal.





If you get it pierced with a needle, you can get any number of gauges. With a gun, it%26#039;s either 20g or 18g. Don%26#039;t get it pierced with a gun tho, okay? Guns are meant for earlobes ONLY. They can and often do shatter cartilage, causing lots of scar tissue and bumps around the piercing.

I used a tanning lotion in a tanning bed and ended up with dark blotchy skin....?

it looks terrible on 1 section of my thigh and from what I%26#039;ve read, is caused by over stimulation of melatonin in certain areas causing the blotchiness. Anybody had this happen and have advice of what I can do? Will going in the sun make it worse or better?

Doesn't being tan seem to make your imperfections less noticable?

Reply:yes, it does. darker/tanned skin outlines your curves etc. and also being in the sun in general is wonderful for your skin. it can clear spots and being even a little golden can help make stretch marks look like nothing. trust me. i feel so much better when im tanned. :]





i go on the sunbed 2 times a week, sometimes once. just to keep a soft glow, UV gives the body an all around good feeling, and you%26#039;ll really notice it.
