I have read some info on japanese skin care and how it's suppose to be really good for the skin because it contains some really beneficious ingredients like rice bran and stuff like that. It's suppose to make your skin lighter and prevent premature aging. Does anyone know if this is true?Has anyone tried japanese skin care?
I wouldn't say its better, its different.
The bleaching agent in it is typically kojic acid - which is derived from Mulberry leaves...it interferes with the bodies ability to convert the amino acid tyrosine into melanin...the effect is temporary, and quite mild.
Jason skincare has the same ingredients, and can be found at most health food stores....I cant remember the name of the products, but they have a yellow and orange package...
Asians all as crazy about pale skin the way westerners are crazy about tans...which is why so many asian skin care lines ';whiten'; skin...
Kanebo is one you might find on ebay, and it might surprise you, but Shoyeido, which is an upscale department store brand here, is something akin to Dove or Oil of Olay here in Japan, rather common inexpensive stuff - in either case, you can usually find it in Japanese grocers....keep in mind that Asian skin is typically much drier than caucasian skin because they have fewer oil glands per square inch - if you have oily skin, you might not like them at all.Has anyone tried japanese skin care?
never tried it i stick to the wave
I've tried japanese skin care lines. I like to use DHC their products are amazing. I love their cleansing oil.
Here's their website
http://www.dhccare.com/dhc/
So far in the US they don't really offer things to help lighten your skin but they do have alot of products to help prevent premature aging.
A Japanese Skin Care company you might want to try to lighten you skin is KOSE
Here's their websitehttp:

Do jennifer flavin's skin care products really work?
Well I saw them on HSN and have never bought stuff on that channel before. Is it just hype? Man I was lured in. The self tanner and hair removal and moisturizers looked like miracle creams. Hence im skeptical. Have you tried them?Do jennifer flavin's skin care products really work?
I can't say whether they work or not. But my wife and I found out that most skin care products of that nature or source, as well as, what you find in drug stores, department stores and even in health stores have a lot of synthetic ingredients. Some of those ingredients are under suspicion. For example, a common ingredient found in skin care and some food is -paraben. Paraben come in many forms. They are in the product to prolong shelf life. But parabens have been found in breast cancer patients. It has not been proved there is a connection%26gt; But do you want to take a chance until the jury comes in?
I am going to give you an article on this subject that opened our eyes as to what we were putting on our skin. As a man I use much less but I don't want any bad stuff in it.
Here is the article. Read it carefully. Go to the website for much more information. This is the only place, bar none, that I buy any kind of skin care and supplements. This is because I did my research and found out that this is a very ethical, honest company. You decide.
Paraben Free Products for Skin Care - What is Paraben %26amp; What Can It Do to YOU?
Paraben free products are better and safer. Skin care products containing parabens have been found to be potentially dangerous to your health. You sure don't want parabens in anything.
What is paraben? It is the most commonly used synthetic preservatives.
There is more than one. There is a whole class of them. They ensure a long shelf life in cosmetics by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria, yeast and mold in beauty products.
“Natural” cosmetics use mainly plant-based and naturally-derived ingredients. They are formulated with little or no parabens.
So that's all good and well, but how can you tell if your products contain parabens? Here are some steps you can take.
1. Look on the label for the following ingredients: methylparaben, propylparaben, isoparaben, or butylparaben. They are all parabens used in cosmetics.
2. Find out which company makes the products you use. See if they have an ingredient list available on the product or on their web site.
3. Try emailing or calling the company and asking them if their products contain parabens.
If your cosmetic company is not forthcoming with this information, you may want to purchase your products from another company.
Some women worry that their cosmetics will not last as long if these artificial ingredients are not used. Companies can use alternative stabilizers. Parabens are just easier to obtain and cheaper to use.
There are companies that have committed to being paraben-free. These companies do not use parabens for preservation, but instead use other procedures, packaging choices, and ingredients to achieve product stability.
Paraben free products are the wave of the future. Companies will be forced by health conscious consumers to take the natural and healthy approach in manufacturing their products instead of the cheap and easy way.
Why is Paraben Free products important to you? It's a movement that's just beginning and will change the way cosmetics and other products are manufactured and packaged. And now please visit the XtendSkinCare website listed below for updated information skin care products, the ingredients to avoid and where to get safe, paraben-free products.

Why do you white people care about peoples skin?
I saw a question of course from a white person a skin why do black people want white features like a skinny waist and blonde wigs. First of all thats races so dont be doing that cause i know the black people feel offensed and i do so dont worry about or skin.Why do you white people care about peoples skin?
I'm pretty sure I haven't 'offensed any black people whenever I asked them relevant culture related questions. People actually DO want to know about physical characteristics sometimes, they aren't trying to be offensive.
Also...you seem to be stereotyping all white people as those ';racist whities.'; How do you know that doesn't offend us? Some of us have worked hard, putting our blood and sweat so to speak into cultural relations in the area where we live, as there are a few tensions between the First Nations and the whites here. Don't be a hypocrit.Why do you white people care about peoples skin?
okay, it's ';racist'; not ';races'; and you can't feel offensed, but you be offended. And calling people ';you white people'; is not any better than what you're saying about what ';them white people'; supposedly do.
lexi (the first poster) you're an idiotic child, go suck on a binky.
The truth is some people are just ignorant and it was probably a high school child that posted it, that is unaware of the real world. Ignore the idiots.
not all white people do, I go to a school where the people are racist against whites, I guess it all depends on where you live =/
Well, that's just one person. Don't be assuming that's how everyone feels, because that's not true.
:)
c'mon man don't be a hypocrite by saying all this **** that just make you just as racist.
Right now you are the one who makes an issue about the skin color
btw
you should practice what you preach
youre being stupid. why do you care what we care about anyways?
get a life.. this isnt a question.
You're doing the same thing by saying ';you white people.';
Work on your grammar please.
you'd be amazed at how many people aren't actually racist.
but plz. wrk on grmmr. :/
Well, first of all learn some grammar...I could barely understand your question. Second, who cares? People can say what they want. You're being racist yourself.
well dont be sayin you white people okayy
and dont worry about it.
It isn't all white people, just a select few ignorant ones.
can u speak a little more articulately? retard
you're too generalizing. and know how to spell the word racist first.
that's racist

Whats the best skin care out there?
I really want to clear my skin up and just take care of it and I want to use the best. I always thought Aveda was one of the best... but then my stylist told me it was bad and that she recommends Dermalogical... but is that good? Or what else is there?
Any and all recommendations greatly appreciated.Whats the best skin care out there?
To tell you the truth, i have mild acne and havent had barely any breakouts since i started using '; Daniel Kerns'; acne medication.
You cant buy the stuff in store but you can check it out at acne.org
The acne medication Daniel Kern sells is benzoyl peroxide which is the most common treatment for acne. The medication comes in a lotion cream style so its easy to apply and doesnt make your face white. The best part about his products is that their big bottles, unlike store brands. You can spend $75 for a 3 month supply of Daniel Kern acne treatment, Daniels lotion %26amp; skin cleanser.Whats the best skin care out there?
Jackie,
Try first a cleanser/toner combo for your skin. I use Coonobabe Pepino cleanser followed by their Manzanillo toner for my oily skin. Wash with cleanser then pat dry with clean towel, apply toner and let air dry. If you have a different skin type they have other cleanser/toners combinations.
http://www.coonobabe.com
For skincare I recommend what I use:
for the eye area: Extreme Eye Rescue: http://www.isabellapelle.com/eyewrinklec鈥?/a>
for the general face area: Preve extreme anti aging: http://www.isabellapelle.com/antiagingcr鈥?/a>
hope this helps
Read the common sense articles on www.melanesianskincare.com. While you're there, maybe you can find products that appeal to you.
ive always used noxena foaming face wash cream. i get compliments on my complexion all the time....and it washes off make up really good too. then i lotion with Palmers cocoa butter which evens the skin tone anyway...

I'm thinking allergic reaction to 'sushi'.
You cooked the Japanese to a core temperature of 180F and did not let them sit around and become room temperature didn't you?
Avoid surface to air missiles.
A%26amp;D Ointment is good for blistery type bumps.
Blistex is always good.
Good ole vaseline... good for anything.

What is your skin care routine?
what is your skin care routine and how do you keep you skin clear? i have trouble with acne and dry skin (worste possible conbination ) and what skin care products would you recomend?What is your skin care routine?
I have gone to lots of skin drs. and spent so much money and nothing worked except only lots of water, plus eating raw fresh fruits and veggies and avoiding harsh soaps and lotions. I truly have found I must eliminate the yummy things from my diet, like chocolate and white breads and cakes. I wash my face with aveeno oatmeal powder and warm water - I make a mask to let it dry and take off with warm water. I can't believe how amazing Pepto Bismal works for me. I am fair and sensitive skinned worse than anyone I know and I ridded my entire face of every blemish with Pepto Bismal. It has salicylic acid which is in acne creams but for some reason it doesn't aggravate it really heals. I don't drink it, I put it on like its an overnight repair lotion and it smells so good. It won't dry your skin like alot of skin creams since It is edible. it doesn't have alcohol in it I don't think. Avoid alcohol and benzoyl peroxide if you have dry skin.What is your skin care routine?
i use clear.now, it's great for all skin types. it's salicylic acid and sodium chlorite not benzoyl peroxide so it won't make your face any drier or make it peel.

i have them same issue i wash my face every night with aveno clear completion and then i use a toner and finish up with a moisturizer that is made for people with acne, this works really well for me i get lots of compliments on my skin
I use Burt's Bees deep cleansing facial scrub once a day. Then i use my bareminerals skin rever- upper face lotion.
