Healthy diet, plenty of vitamins, 1.5- 2 litres of water per day. Steaming your face will help draw out the spots and therefore make them go away quicker.
Reply:Try the followin tips i found for u .do not use chemicals on skin. Follow these instructions and do let me know if they worked on your skin. i'm sure they will!
1. Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies.
2. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne.
3. Apply a paste of fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves over the face every night for 10-15 minutes and washed with warm water. This will prevent acne, pimples, blackheads, and wrinkles.
4. Place strawberry leaves on the acne, the alkalinity helps to reduce the swelling.
5. Extract juice of one lemon and mix with equal quantity of rose water. Apply this mixture on the face and let it stay for about half an hour. Wash the face with fresh water. About 15 days application helps cure acne, pimples and reduces blemishes and scars.
6. Another method is to massage the face with the skin of lemon before washing with lukewarm water.

Sheltie/Jack Russel owners please help!?
I have a sheltie and jack russel mix. He has the personality of a sheltie at first then once he gets to know you he is pure jack russel. He has medium legnth hair (1inch long).
What i would like to know is if there is a certain time when these breeds shred worse . He is shedding something fierce right now and i dont know if it is something like skin condition or if this is normal for the breeds. I know all dog shed but i am able to pull clumps of hair out...not to the point where he is bald but still.
Is there any hope that this is only a summer time thing??
Sheltie/Jack Russel owners please help!?
He may be "blowing coat" which is seasonal. Use a shedding blade(availible at tack stores and pet shops) to help remove as much as you can. He will blow his coat in the spring and in the fall, it is triggered by longer and shorter light cycles, other times it should be less, but he will still shed.
Reply:Sorry, but jack russels shed all year, but are good dogs.
Reply:shedding is also dependant on the food you food - lower quality food = more shedding...
all foods from grocery store and Wal mart are junk - any food with "by-products" is also crap...
Reply:I'm a JRT owner. This works with my dogs and was recommended by fellow owners. Try Brewers Yeast tablets. You can get them at Petsmart or even in the pet section at Walmart. Put a tablet a day in their food. The coat quality should improve and shedding will be decreased dramatically. Good luck.
Reply:both shed really bad but a groomer can give a bath and full blowout and brush and that will get you started then brush teh dog for at least 1/2 hour everyday and do it in layers to get teh undercoat.

Has anyone used Palmer's Cocoa Butter Leg Gloss?
I have keratosis pilaris (which is a skin condition where you get red bumps, very ugly.) and Im looking for a way to cover them. I saw Palmer's Cocoa Butter Leg Gloss at the chemists and I need feedback from people who have used it before.
Does it give you some coverage? If yes, how much? and does it like glow unnaturally? I want my legs to look natural, not too orange but still give some coverage.
Has anyone used Palmer's Cocoa Butter Leg Gloss?
Fantastic Product!! Buy IT!
Reply:I don't know about that but I heard about a product called sheer cover. I saw where a woman had burns on her arms and she rubbed the product in and you couldn't even tell. Good luck.

Permanent body hair removal?
i have heard about some laser techniques
i was asking about it's side effect, does it need certain skin condition, how much does it costs?
Permanent body hair removal?
When getting hair removal make sure you dont sunbath/tan bed just before...wait 72hrs. also it doesnt work on true blonde hair or white hair...it needs the darker color to attract the laser. in our spa most can be taken care of in 4 to 6 treatments...but we continue to treat until it is removed...without further cost to you. as far as cost goes....chin is about 300.00 total cost....whole legs about 1300.00 total cost bikini with underarm about 700.00 total cost. it should not cause any real pain...you do feel the zap of the hair which is uncomfortable ....but if it is causing real pain then you should stop the treatment....wait a few days and make sure you dont blister....if you do you need to talk with the doctor or find another one.
Reply:It's not really that costly in the long run ...because you only have to do it once. then your shave free. Report It
Reply:i hear it hurts and irritates the skin
Reply:it costs @ 1,000 for 3 sessions...generally the thinner your hair the faster the laser works...thicker hair requires more sesions. make sure you find a qualified hair removal specialist...and it does not hurt...but you do feel a pulse sensation when the laser is on.

Can pit bulls be nice, friendly dogs?
I know of a family with a pit bull -- they have kept it in a crate for about 90 percent of its life. I know that the father is wanting to maybe get rid of the dog since he can't afford to feed it or take it to the vet and it has a skin condition. It is KILLING me that there is this poor dog suffering with them, and I would love to offer to buy it. (I figure they could use the money, right?) Anyway, I have a 90-pound German shorthair who is our beloved family pet -- he's great with kids, and with everybody really. But I don't know what pitbulls are like, and if it will ruin things for MY dog.
SO, to make a very long question short, do you think this pit bull could be a good dog to bring into my house -- with my own big dog? (I also have two kids, ages 8 and 12).
Can pit bulls be nice, friendly dogs?
You may want it checked out by a vet that deals w/ behavioral issues. Since he's not been socialized that is a big concern, however, that doesn't automatically mean he is a killer. Pit bulls get labeled as mean dogs but ANY dog can be vicious. More often than not it's the owners who make the dogs like this by not socializing or who knows what. Keep in mind that they obviously don't sound like they have taken care of it so the vet bill will probably be high. You need to get him up to date on vaccines, heartworm test and prevention, check for intestinal parasites (especially since you have kids and another dog), rid of the skin infection and find out what it is. Could be mange for all you know. You should also consider classes for him and for sure get him neutered. May also take some time for your other dog to grow used to the new one. They're gonna gave to figure out who the alpha is and who is not.
Reply:Yes. IF it has been around other dogs before. If not... and no offense to pit bull lovers... but they have a naturally aggressive nature to other animals. It's a proven fact so don't yell at me and anyway I really like pit bulls, they're great with kids.
Reply:depending on how its raised they can be good dogs.
Reply:Pit Bulls are normal dogs with a damaged reputation.
Try taking the dog to training classes and a behavorist first, so it gets used to being around people, like in a household.
Im sure the dog will fit fine, which most rescues normally do, because they just want to be part of the family.
Reply:you are going to hear an ear full when it comes to pitbulls on this website.....good luck
in the long run you need to trust your judgement...as to what is best for your dog....if your dog gets along with others....if they are both males, I prob would not recommend that....
trust your own judgement.....even ask the family if you could pet sit for one night bec you want to adopt him...... try a slow introduction, then you make the call
just make it safe for everyone
Reply:just like any other breed, pit bulls can be wonderful dogs! some of the sweetest, most mellow dogs i have known were pit bulls. it all depends on how they are raised. being that this dog has not been cared for properly,-been locked up for so long, possible underfed (?), and has not had much socialization, there is a chance it will be aggressive. I would suggest meeting the dog first. see how he acts around you, your dog, and your family. do this slowly, and make sure to supervise the whole time! if you decide to take him in, a professional trainer would be a good idea as it does not seem like he has had much training. good luck!
Reply:Plain and simple, there is no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners. Is the Pit Bull a male or female? I would say, ask the owners if they will let you hang out with the dog for a little bit, outside, play ball, see how he or she reacts when you take the toy from him, and introduce the pit to your German Shorthair. Then go from there.
Reply:i was playing with one, one time and didnt know it was a pit until my friend told i walked away and it was wagging its tail
Reply:well, pit bulls can be really hard to handle. it depends on its age. young pits can easily be brought up to be good dogs. also pits can be very territorial. i don't think it will be good to keep him w/ 2 young children and another dog in the house. but if hes between newborn and about 11 months, you'll have minimal trouble if any. but since hes caged up so much, he might be very aggressive, the poor thing.

Reply:Yes most of them are fabulous dogs. You would half to see how the dogs get along first.
Reply:what is the skin condition this is very sad. it could be many things, what if it is contagious to people or children find that out first then decide, but that would a great to do to get that dog out of its crate. We see many pit bulls that are super friendly with people and animals. just check it out or call a local pit bull rescue, linda blair world heart foundation.
Reply:My friend has a pit bull that is like a child. He is so well behaved my friend takes him to the bar and Major will sit completely still with all manner of strangers around.

Reply:Pit bull-type breeds can be wonderful pets. However, the fact that this one has lived 90% of his life in a crate worries me. It sounds like he's been neglected, if not abused, and so may not make the best pet, especially if you have kids.

Reply:NO !!
The dog has not been raise right %26amp; you stand a good chance of it being dog aggressive %26amp; you could loose your other dogs if it is. They are not a good family dog unless you get one from a competent breeder who doesn't fight them or pop out puppies right %26amp; left.
This dog has been mistreated %26amp; the owner should be reported. It will be a sad story cause the dog will probably be euthanized.

This dog has been mistreated %26amp; the owner should be reported. It will be a sad story cause the dog will probably be euthanized.
I just like to know if there any cure or maybe hope for any1 who have cronic illness?
i.e, heart problem, diabetes, cancer, allergies which include skin condition, respiratory diseases etc.

Well, biotech and pharma companies are coming out with new therapies all the time. While these are not cures, for the most part, they can extend or improve life for patients with these illnesses.
I work for a biotech firm that has one of the few drugs on the market for pancreatic cancer. This drug has been shown to extend the life span from (if I remember correctly) six weeks to approximately 12 weeks. This may not seem like a lot, but if it were your parent, wouldn't you appreciate an extra six weeks with them?
All progress is normally made incrementally. So I would hope to see several therapies extending and improving life to be out before a "cure" is found for any of these very serious diseases.
I also know about this subject because I have a chronic disease [not on your list] which used to be a death sentence in the mid-80s, but now is relatively treatable, although not yet curable. So keep your fingers crossed for me too. :o)

My belly itches so bad!?
I am 35 weeks pregnant today, and about a week ago, my belly started to itch bad. I stopped using lotion for stretch marks. But I have been using benadryl cream on it, because the itching is so bad and it won't stop, just keeps getting worse whether I touch it or not. I am also on benadryl for another skin condition... Do I worry about the itching? Is there anything else I can do to help it? Or do I just cope with it and use a tube of benadryl cream every night!?

It could be PUPP. Keep using the Benedryl and mention it to your doctor when you go back. They may be able to give you something else.
Reply:dont scratch, I gave in with my first and took a hair brush to my belly it itches so bad and i did with free abandon. now u should see how hideous my belly is, it use to be so cute and sexy i even had midriff sweaters
Reply:have you tried the palmers? It is more emolient than just a cream. That itching is the your skin stretching...poor thing...I had it too. I just used the palmers (stretch mark cream). I also use Goldbond utimate healing lotion...it is more emolient than others.
