What is the best way to get rid of stretch marks after having kids?

I have stretch marks on my sides, stomach and bum (a few down the sides of my legs but not bad). I have tried tanning and it makes them not as noticeable but not gone. I have tried body butters (shay) but that doesn’t help either. How can you get rid of them completely?

Physicians Formula Concealer any good?

Since i’m new to make-up stuff, i went to cvs to find something that would cover up marks left by acne. I bought this Physican’s Formula concealer.

I also need a foundation which i didn’t know. I still sometimes have some acne. (I don’t need proactive since i got cleanser, toner, and moisterizer from my skin care doctor)

Need advice please.

Why does my 6 month old baby girl have a red nipple?

My 6 month old girl has a red nipple (just on one side) when she woke up this morning. It doesn’t seem to be inflamed, though when I palpated the skin, there does appear to be a tiny bump. She also has been acting fussier so I am wondering if it could be an infection.
I just thought that only happened with very young newborns.
Any ideas? I wonder if I should go to the weekend urgent care physician or wait until Monday for our pediatrician.

just curious abt other effective brands on the market good4your skin

Can I apply Lubriderm Intense Skin Repair Body Lotion several times a day?

The brand is: Lubriderm Intense Skin Repair Body Lotion.
On the bottle it says: “Smooth on body everyday….” because it has 24 hour moisturization, but Im always washing my hands and the lotion starts to come off. I apply it about 3-4 times a day because the skin on my hand gets very hard and dry after i wash it.
And is this cream for adults only?
Thanks in advance!

Thinning hair in the front?

For the past 3 months my life was HELL. I have never had so much stress in my life. From panic/anxiety attacks to suicidal thoughts to family problems to very severe headaches and many more. I also heard stress can cause hair loss. Now I have always had very thick hair in my life. I even used to slick my hair back, Michael Corleone style. My nutrition has always been good also, and I use a good organic shampoo too. Please is there anyway to get my hair back???
Thank you.

URGENT!!! I have no period and losing hair because of diet! WHAT ON EARTH SHOULD I DO?!?

I am 16 years old, i’m from Hong Kong and i am on a diet. I’ve started losing a lot of hair during the fourth month of my diet. I don’t even have my period anymore and i have been waiting for 2 months. I know that this is because of my diet.
I do not want to gain weight and eat more just so that my hair could grow back and my period back(if that works) i still want to keep my weight and grow back my hair.
what should I do?! its so hard to see my hair losing so much every time i wash my hair.
HELP ITS URGENT I HAVE NO TIME MY HAIR IS GOING AWAY!
p.s. i have tried using organic shampoo such as Kiehl’s but does not do anything to prevent hair loss.

HELP my doctor says i have seborrheic dermatitis? BUT read more please?

But when i went to the doctor she barely looked at my scalp. I have some dry flakes on my scalp and hair and its worse at night. I have it under control as long as i use this organic shampoo a few times a week. I went to see her to just make sure its nothing bad and see what i have but what she says i have i really dont think i have. Im looking at pics and i dont think i have that. i have no scaling or red patches along my hair line and those are symptoms. She did prescribe me some shampoo for psoriasis which isnt the same as seborrheic dermatitis and i dont think i should use it. im a white teenager and seborrheic dermatitis occurs in males over 50. SO my question is, should i use this medicine? or keep with what ive been doing even though i get flakes from time to time? what do you guys think? i honestly feel my dermatologist was wrong and i just have this torn feeling of whether i should use it or not. Also the shampoo causes hair loss and adrenal glad issues :/ i dont want to make it worse. another thing that causes this is stress and i am stressed so i think i should treat it with my organic shampoo and cut down on the stress. what do u think?

I’ve been noticing something about my hair?

For the past one year I was very sick….and was on some heavy medication and anti-biotics.
It messed up my digestive system. I couldn’t eat anything. I was on a rather poor diet for about 4 – 5 months or so.

After recovering..I gained back my appetite have been eating healthy since.

But I started to experience a lot of hair loss since recovery. Now my hair seems to thinned a lot.

My hair dresser says that its normal and will grow back over a period of time.

I’m just worried. I now eat super healthy, I exercise and eat a multi-vitamin. I use an organic shampoo and have started a hot oil treatment once a week.

Thats all I can do. No more doctors….I’m done with medicines.

What is the best way to support organic products when shopping at a large grocery store?

I would like to encourage my local large grocery store to make more organic foods available and, as a more general goal, to support organic farming. I have two choices as far as local grocery stores: Stop and Shop, a generic grocery store that provides some organic food (maybe 5% of the store inventory) or Whole Foods, a more specialized and more expensive grocery store that primarily carries organic and more “natural” products. Ignoring expense to me, do you think I should buy organic food whenever possible at Stop and Shop (positive reinforcement) or switch over to Whole Foods and thereby deprive Stop and Shop of a customer (negative reinforcement)? Which is the more effective approach?

Why do organic food products cost more at the grocery store?

Why is organic milk allowed to make false marketing claims?

I’ve read reports http://www.stoplabelinglies.com and http://www.milkismilk.com that claims of “pesticide-free” “no hormones added” and “antibiotic-free” are false and prohibited by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Department of Agriculture. Yet, I see these claims on all the organic dairy products sold in my stores. Why are the claims allowed if they are false or misleading to consumers?

!00% Natural and Organic Products? no pesticides and preservatives?

And also where to buy them? I live in Vancouver, BC Canada. I know that big stores like superstore and costco mignt not have any.

Our family really wants to start eating healthy.

Thank you.

How do I overcome my fear and let my natural curly hair show?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=An4e22re.sHB3ixQAZYNZKPsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20081116205826AAz9BpS

That link is a previous question I asked, asking if I should let my hair be curly, and stop straightening it. Everybody convinced me that I should let it be curly, but I’m sorta scared. lmao. I’m nervous it’ll be too much of a change, and that I look best with straight hair. I think if I grow my hair (it’s about above shoulder ) it’ll look better. Do you think I should just go ahead and let my natural curls show? It is a pain to straighten everyday, and I HATE worrying about it getting curly in moist places. thanks guys

If I get a net weave, is it possible to have some of my own natural hair show through?

I’m a latina who has thinning hair and have heard that a net weave is very natural and an answer to my problem, but I’m concerned that my scalp will get itchy bc I won’t be able to wash it properly, so would it be possible to pull some of my own hair through the net to give it a more natural look, and so I can wash my scalp? If not, what products can I use to prevent itchniess? THis would be my first net weave.

Does Folic Acid help you get Pregnant and Increase Fertility
A number of women tend to ask the gynaecologists the simple question, “Does folic acid help you get pregnant?” The answer here is very simple if you want to get pregnant, Folic Acid is a must for you. How ever a common mistake made about Folic Acid is that is doesn’t improve your chances getting pregnant faster. Opposite to Child-wish.com natural products which in fact triples your chances getting pregnant fast within 1-3 months.
In some cases you may come across Folic Acid being referred to as Folate or Folacin. It has also been classified as Vitamin B9. Folic Acid is a required in liberal quantities to ensure proper production of red blood cell sand a number of components that are required for the nervous system growth. The acid helps the human body synthesize genetic material in every cell thus normalizing the brain function.

Can Phobia of Being Pregnant Stem From Anorexia?

I have such a phobia of being pregnant and having children a natural way, could this irrational fear stem from my Anorexia that I was diagnosed with when I was 11…? I have normal periods now, so I’m guessing I have normal fertility, as my body is recovered, but my mind is far from. I still have a completely IRRATIONAL fear of weightgain, and the thought of the changes my body would undergo while pregnant absolutely drives terror into my heart and mind. No matter who I’m with, no matter how “worth it” some women (who have never experienced the hell of an eating disorder) say it is, I just don’t want to do it. And I’m scared I’m going to be so paranoid when I settle down with a life partner, that I’ll take pregnancy tests practically every time I had sex, I’d break down if I ever accidentally got pregnant, the terror I have of being pregnant could actually drive me to do some pretty terrible things…

The prospect of actual childbirth scares me as well; and I am so heartless towards normally conceived children. I talk about ‘foetuses’ and ‘embryo’s', not babies, I gag whenever I think of childbirth, I don’t view babies as little miracles, only a product of 2 mixed fluids, I don’t see the big massive deals made when a foetus for example, kicks in its mother’s womb…I speak almost with contempt about babies, and I realise that this is NOT. NORMAL. I feel so terrible. And like this anger is almost a defense mechanism.

This fear of pregnancy and having children the natural way has a name doesn’t it…? And can it stem from past Eating Disorders and Depression? (Both of which I’ve had). Thank you. xxx
Also, it doesn’t help that my mother thinks I am unutterably selfish for not wanting biological children and expects me to someday.

Pregnant ladies…What do you think about..?

I have been wondering exactly how careful other women are about what they eat, what products they use, etc. For example, I have read articles online saying to not use any lotions that aren’t organic, or shampoos, or anything, since they can be absorbed through the skin. Also, they say not to have manicures/pedicures as the chemicals in the nail polish are bad.

I have had one mani/pedi, I use regular Pantene shampoo and conditioner, and I use Palmer’s regular ole’ cocoa butter lotion all over my body…am I a heinous woman or normal? What do you all think about it????

Im feeling really down about my body, ladies how do you still manage to feel sexy and confident? =[?

Hi all, i feel really stupid for even posting this, but i do feel really down all of a sudden and kind of wanted to hear from others… Ok, well basically this morning i’ve woken up and discovered some new stretch marks on my stomach; my stomach is the ONE place i realllly did not want to get them, i have been applying oil every single day; Vitamin E oil/ cocoa butter etc.. I’ve discovered more on my thighs kind of like where your bum cheeks meet and am getting covered with them round my hips and a few on my bum. I know that this is kind of to be expected during pregnancy but i cant help feeling down about it, i feel really horrible and unattractive. I am very very excited about meeting my daughter and i do feel really blessed to be having a child (she’s my first, im 29 weeks pregnant by the way) and i do feel a bit selfish for feeling down now because i know some women cant have kids. But the fact it im only 20 and still want to feel sexy and confident, once my baby is born. I have loads of worries like being loose after the birth even though i have been doing pelvic floor excercises. I just feel like my body is going to be absolutely ruined =[ My baby’s father, who (i thought) i had a good relationship with, did a runner as soon as i announced my pregnancy to him, and im single. Of course relationships is the LAST thing on my mind at the moment, i am solely concentrating on my baby daughter and building a good future for her, however of course there will come a stage where i would like to think about dating again, though who would want someone who’s still young yet covered in all these stretch marks and looking the way i do?? I just feel a bit like im damaged goods at the moment… Anyway, my main question is; how do you all manage to still feel good about yourselves if you do- i’d still like to hear from you even if you DONT feel good about yourselves… I just need someone to talk to at the moment =[ Please answer… Also, do none of these creams and oils im spending a bloody fortune on actually work??? Has any products worked for you at all?? How can i still feel sexy and confident? I thought i was managing to get through the pregnancy without too many stretchmarks, though they have all just sprung out of nowhere- they literally are appearing over night, and i know they get worse straight after you give birth when you lose the weight, so i dread to think how im going to look by the time baby arrives. Sorry if i sound selfish and ‘woe- is- me’ but i cant help how i feel. Anyway, would be good to hear from some mum’s/ mum’s-to-be, many thank you’s in advance, God Bless ~x~
