I have a few questions about hair and skin?

1. What can i use on my curly frizzy hair that will make it smooth shiny and help straighten?



2. Any lotions for really dry skin?



3. Anything that helps reduce the appearance of scars?



4. And any good hair removers and bleaching creams? (im allergic to nair)



I have a few questions about hair and skin?

Wow! An entire host of questions! I'd like to try to help you:



Lets start with #1: Frizzy hair products usually work best if they come in a serum form. Using a ton of products from expensive salons can get very costly. Over the counter pharmacy remedies like John Frieda's Frizz-Ease or Tre Semme Smooth and Shine are just as good if not better than the $20 dollar fixes at the salon. Now as good as the serums can be there is not substitute for a good natural brissle brush and an ionized hair dryer to aid in the straightnening and shin shining of your hair.



Number 2: When you say lotion for dry skin I am assuming your body - so one of the best things you can do for you skin is an in shower treatment followed by another moisturizing treatment after you have dried off. Try looking for an exfoliating body wash with deep moisturizers in it such as Dove Pro-Age Body Wash or Olay Body Wash with Moisture Ribbons. As soon as you get out of the bath or shower make sure you towel off gently then moisturize your entire body with something intense like Kerry Renewal or Neutragena. ALWAYS try to use a moisturizer with SPF 15 on the parts of your body that are exposed to the sun as this will help to keep your skin supple and protected.



Number 3: Scar concealment is tough especially when they are older but new products are always on the shelves. Old standbyes include Mederma (an intensive Vitamin E treatment) that really does help with smaller scars. For larger scars associated with stretchmarks and surgeries try Palmers Coco Butter. And finally,



Number 4: Bleaching Creams - for this I am assuming that you are hoping to bleach facial hair. Nair (a dipilatory) is not for bleaching - it disoloves hair at the surface and causes irritation to sensative skin. For your sensative skin try something like Jolen Cream Bleach w/Aloe - its around $9 dollars at pharmacies and really works when used as directed. Sally Hensen also has a similar product in the same price range.



I hope this helps!



I have a few questions about hair and skin?

1. paul mitchell smoothing supper skinny serum and a nice ceramic flat iron.



2. Simple daily routines, such as bathing and towel drying, may actually remove moisture from the skin. Modifying your bathing routine will help preserve your skin's moisture. Avoid using harsh soaps that dry the skin. Recommended soaps are Dove, Olay and Basis. Even better than soap are skin cleansers such as Cetaphil Lotion, Oilatum-AD and Aquanil.



Water-based lotions (Lubriderm, Keri lotion, others) are best cosmetically but oil-based creams are more effective in trapping moisture. If you have pimple issues stick to water based lotions.



3. Nothing can make scars disappear, however Mederma skin care for scars can help scars and make acne scars appear softer and smoother. Newer scars sometimes fade with vitamin E, break open the gell cap and smooth on serveral times aday. Also protect from sun.



4. Veet bleaching cream works okay even for sensitive skin, just dont use it more than twice a week. Gigi hair removal is for sensitive skin and works okay. folica.com has some great products for sensitive skin. http://www.folica.com/Bikini_235_2.html
