Affordable beauty products for african american skin?
I am 26. African American. I want to start taking serious care of my skin as to put off as long as possible wrinkles and and other skin problems that may come with age. What products are good for my age and skin. I shop at Meijers alot (or ebay), and would like something that could be brought there or that is just affordable. I still deal with acne and acne scarring also. What would also be a good vitamin (or viatmins) to take? Any that would also promote healthy hair and nails, etc? Is there anything else I should be doing to preserve and maintain my health and beauty at this age?
Hello!
Vitamin A and vitamin E are good for nails and skin. While Vitamin B and D are excellent for nails and hair.
Anything with shea butter, oatmeal and cocoa butter that helps with wrinkles.
Makari has a deep cleansing lotion for greasy skins with a tendency to spot formation. Its superior combination ensures cleansing action, pore dilation, decreased proliferation of "acne bacteria".
Makari has also a caviar face lightening cream revitalizes and restores major skin functions and prevents the appearance of premature expression lines (such as wrinkles). Your facial skin will soon appear visibly lighter, finer and firmer.
I can give you the introductory price of $70 for these two items and you get free samples of Makari Beauty Whitening Milk, Makari Night Whitening Cream and Makari Whitening Serum.
Other options would be to buy a cleanser to clean the skin, a toner to redefine the skin and a lotion to moisturize the skin. The following brands are available on the market : Aromesential skin care Alpha-Hydroxy cleanser, toner and lotion for $4.99 each;
Bio-Glow exfoliationg face scrub, rejuvenate moisture cream for $5.49 each;

What are we really saying when we say beauty is skin deep?
And at the same token looks don’t matter if you really love a person. I have yet to find many people who say these things who would really consider going out with an "ugly" person or someone thought to be less attractive.
They’re just saying the person is nice but they are ugly. They’d be friends but wouldn’t date them.
My skin is sensitive and beauty products don’t work. What’s the best vitamin to improve my skin?
I can’t use any products to help pimples and scars on my skin. So I’m considering taking vitamins to help it. Can anyone suggest good vitamins to help clear up my skin and make it look healthier?

Beauty & Skin Care — A Chinese Herbal Prescription (13)
BEAUTY & SKIN CARE – - A Chinese herbal prescription.
Skin care should not be tied to beauty only. It should be viewed as a health practice. The skin is a very important tissue that envelops and protects your body. If not attended to, irritating conditions may arise such as dryness, peeling, itch, pimples, mouth sores, and small eruptions, etc., which may develop into bigger problems like rashes lasting for months or even years. If the skin is well taken care of, the hair and the nails will be as well for they are real extensions of the skin.
The Chinese approach connects skin problems to “excess heat” in the blood, which means several things including:
• Too much spicy, barbecued, deep fried, or greasy food.
• Too much shellfish such as crabs, clams, mussels, oysters, etc.
• Not enough sleep, or going to bed too late.
• Not enough rest causing an overactive liver.
• Toxins in blood due to unhealthy eating or environment.
• Not enough fluid consumed everyday.
• Not eating the right kind of food such as vegetables and fruits to nourish or moisturize the skin.
If you come from a different culture, some of the causes mentioned above do not seem to have obvious reasons. I’ll try to explain more in another video. Nevertheless, those reasons are validated everyday by observing the habits of those suffering from dry skin and associated problems.
Nature of skin problems:
• Skin problems may not be limited to just one location. They can move to other parts of the body since they are related to blood.
• Minor problems are easier to treat with diet or habit change.
• When a major skin problem has developed, it will remain a long-term irritation with periodic flare-ups triggered by the above-listed causes.
• You cannot expect fast cure from a major skin problem. You can only look for steady improvements in the form of intensity, duration, and frequency of flare-ups.
• If the problem does not spread to a new location, and the old location is being replaced by newer skin, it will definitely be a good improvement.
External treatment:
• Skin care is a multi-billion dollar business with countless products and services for external treatment.
• Surgery and other advanced treatments are becoming popular too.
• You have to find the right kind of product or service suitable for your skin.
Internal treatment:
The Chinese approach, basically, is to nourish and detoxify the blood, calm the liver, moisturize and nourish the skin:
1) Nourish blood
Dan Shen 丹參
He Shou Wu 何首烏
2) Detoxify blood
Xian He Cao 仙鶴草
Bai Hua She Cao 白花蛇草
3) Calm liver
Bai Shao 白芍
Jin Yin Hua 金銀花
Huang Qin 黃芩
4) Moisturize skin
Mai Men Dong 麥門冬
Xuan Shen 玄參
5) Nourish skin
Yu Zhu 玉竹
Sha Shen 沙參
A combination of 11 herbs is recommended.
Drink one cup (8 oz) or two of herb tea a day, morning and night.
This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:
* How bad is the skin problem and where.
* Do you make an effort for diet or habit change.
* How sensitive is your body to herb package.

I am slightly confused about the phrase "Beauty is skin deep"?
You know how people always say that beauty is skin deep? In other words, how you look does not correlate with who you are on the inside. However, i believe the hardships people face can sometimes how through their appearance. For example, think about alcoholics. They age at a faster rate and it clearly shows. You know what i’m saying? The same goes to people who do drugs. So why do people say that how you look on the outside does not reflect who you are in the inside? It’s just confusing me.
I never understood that phrase properly.
The quote means that a person should not judge others by how they look. Just because a person looks like a druggy that does not mean they are a druggy, or that they condone that lifestyle. Even if they really are a druggy, that does not mean they should be judged simply by the way they look. They might might be wonderful beneath their rough exterior — like a muddy pearl.
Hope that helped.

Beauty is skin deep, and tattoos go all the way to the bone?
"The world is divided into two kinds of people: those who have tattoos, and those who are afraid of people with tattoos"
"the difference btw tattooed ppl and untattooed ppl is that tattooed ppl are way cooler and can kick your ass"
"when i see someone with a tattoo i think, they must have an interesting past"
That and also that us tattooed people don’t care if you aren’t tattooed.
