SOMETHING WORK LOOKING INTO!!!

Tuesday, October 19th, 2004

Not sure if anyone has experience with this…But I found it
interesting:

The FDA recently approved the ClearLight Acne PhotoClearing System
as the first non-drug treatment device to fight moderate acne.
During each 15-minute session, skin is exposed to intense light that
destroys acne-causing bacteria. For more information go to:

If anyone knows much about this - let me know :)
Thanks!

Mary Kay Ethics

Saturday, October 16th, 2004

Hi to you all!!!!

I want to thank you all for your kind words. I truly had not
intended to spam anyone. I honestly was not trying to push my product
on anyone. I thought I was helping. Since I received this disturbing
email, I have not attempted to contact or post anything until I figure
out how to use this thing!

I am open to help anyone who needs it!

The Mary Kay Issue

Thursday, October 14th, 2004

I can see that we are having problems on the Mary Kay issue. Is it
ok to post about Mary Kay and so forth.

1. It is ok to post about Mary Kay as long as you’re not trying to
push your product on people. This group is for people trying to get
help NOT for people trying to sell their products. There are other
groups out there that will welcome the ads but not here.

2. On the issue of a member being emailed by a Mary Kay seller
about her products. That was totally out of line, and is not
excepted here whatsoever! That was blatantly spamming and isn’t
tolerated. Once again it brings me back to the point of this group
being for the people trying to get help NOT for people trying to
sell their products.

More on the MK issue

Thursday, October 14th, 2004

I guess it’s ok to mention the Pore Refining Cleanser of Neutrogena,
or the system of PROACTIVE, but not of the products of Mary Kay? Or
better yet, it is ok to mention products that you use and not
products that you know will help someone for their particular skin
situation because you just happen to sell them. Please, GROW UP!
When I started using the facial cleaners of MK, I was skeptical,
because, hey, I’ve tried IT ALL! I’ve done just about EVERY brand
of cleansing and acne treatment system, I’ve put lemons, cucumbers,
and who knows what else on my face. But truth of the matter, for
me, I found a product that works! IT could be called UGLY BAR for
all I care; but surprise, surprise it’s Mary Kay. So What! Someone
mentions a product that will help acne prone skin and you reflect on
visions of Product Pushers and go crazy. You may disagree, but if
you are stressin’ about your skin enough to have a web group about
it, wouldn’t you be glad to have a personal consultant at your

PLEASE HELP

Tuesday, October 12th, 2004

hi thx for appreciating my tips
for mosturizer i ll say that use the milk cream jst a bit with few drops of
lemon or rose water in it apply it on ur face and wash with luke warm water
after 5 minutes .but one thing if u have a very high level of oil in ur skin
then dont use it.for giving a fresh look to ur skin u can use cucumber ,orange
slices.
its better if u use a glass of orange juice twice a day and a glass of milk with
an apple coz mainly skin problems occurs due to improper diet and stomach
problems or with constipation.proper diet is a key towards healthy skin.
luvu all
best wishes

Obagi

Monday, October 11th, 2004

Hey.
I am on my second trial of Obagi Nu-Derm products… They are working
wonderfully! I began usining the Obagi system back in October and you use it
for about 8-12 weeks in conjunction with retin-a cream ( not retin-a micro)
and the first time you use it your face hurts soo bad it burns and peels and
stings and its just awful… but it really helped my scars and i had
absolutley NO active acne while using the products… then after i ran out of
the products in late jan- my skin stayed pretty nice for a while…but i
didnt quite get the results i was hoping for. so i decided to give it another
go… and now.. just three days after using the products again.. my skin is
GLOWING… so nice and smooth… it a really awesome system…

i am planning on getting my skin lasered in may and my plastic surgeon told
me i would have to use the obagi nu derm products for about 6-8 weeks before
surgery to prep my skin… you know what… i might not even go for the laser

Onion report

Sunday, October 10th, 2004

I have to keep this one "short," but onion does work. I tried it 3 ways …

1) Pressed onion, a dab of vinegar, and 2 parts onion powder to 1 part
garlic powder, then enough powdered honey to make a paste. Cleared a tough
whitehead immediately, but vinegar proved too strong (at the hole in top skin
layers).

2) Liquid honey and enough onion powder to make a paste. Literally allowed
a deep, unbreakable 1/2" cyst to break and drain significant oils first day.
This thing was the worst kind - came up out of nowhere, was red, purple,
black, full and sore, and the surface was thick. This was day 1 of this cyst
… day 2 looked like it would be a slow inner healing.

3) The morning of day 3 of this cyst, the "core" had come up unbelievably
… and was relieved gently and totally! Then, I mixed up liquid honey and
