Its true but its not a great fix, the best fix would be to use tooth paste and keep it on there for 10 mins it will get rid of all the oil and destory the pimple within no time, also drink lots of water, anything you drink goes into your skin, if you want good skin drink good things, water is the most important for cleaning out your system :) and remember pimples just dont happen over night, it takes a month for a pimple to come up to the skin layer.<3

I heard that's Queen Latifah's beauty secret. Apparently it works as an exfoliant. I've tried it before. I guess it does take off dead skin cells and prep the skin with a smoother texture. Just take a teaspoon of it and enough water where its 'pasty' and not liquidy.

CHECK IT OUT!

she says the concept of oily skin and using oily skin products for acne is wrong!oily skin products are best tolerated by ppl who have oily skin but free from breakouts.anyone who is doing ANY treatment for acne will have sensitive skin.so hypoallergenic and sensitive skin products are the best bet for them!this is because oily skin products strips of all the oils on skin..so the skin counter-reacts by producing more oil and hence more acne.those with breakout free oily skin...mm...the lucky few..r the only ones to tolerate this..P.Acne bacterium..why do u hate some ppl and leave the others alone???WHY???

2) exfoliate

avoid all scrubs..no matter how mild they claim to be.but how do we exfoliate, do u ask???oh thats easy...and DIRT CHEAP too!!!2 WORDS- BAKING SODA!

she says that she has not come across any acne-prone patients who has benefitted from scrubs.it may work for a while in some...lead to initial happiness..yeah, and then lead to final gloom when breakouts appear from everywhere...even the areas where it was break-out free in the beginning!SO NO SCRUBS PPL .use baking soda instead...just make a paste out of baking soda and water...and ma*sage very gently.wash immediately.u have to do this after cleansing.u may be able to extract some ripe or loose blackheads afterward.hey and never try to squeeze a blackhead if its not ready to come out...u will regret it!

3) tone to balance pH

now that baking soda is basic in nature..something acidic is needed to balance the ph.ANSWER?APPLE CIDER VINEGAR!

use a 1:8 (vinegar:water) solution first and then gradually increase to 1:1 ..never apply it neat.BALANCED pH = BEAUTIFUL SKIN!wash off after 10 mins.dont leave it on.

4) apply ur acne cream..i use the Proactiv BP lotion.i use the amt Dan suggests for beginners...( edit: i switched to Neutrogena on-the-spot now).U can use ANY acne cream which suits ur skin.Dont skip this step.

4) Moisturise with SPF containing moisturiser.I use Cetaphil and it does not break me out.Look for the words sensitive skin, hypoallergenic & non-comedogenic WITH SUN PROTECTION FACTOR when u buy any moisturiser.

5) And for those who apply make-up, use non-acnegenic products containing titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.they r good for the skin too!

evening..

6) cleanse ur face ..( use baking soda and acv only once a day..morning or evening as ur preference)

7) apply a mild protein mask....till date..ive never found a mask that gives as good results as this mask..this is my aesthetician's favourite mask (btw..she has absolutely gorgeous baby-smooth skin and she told me that she had acne in her teens!hard to believe..!)

1 tablespoon of egg-white whipped up + a squeeze of lemon (dont put too much).smooth it over ur face..avoid eye area...wash off in 10 minutes....and look at a NEW REJUVENATED YOU!!

i tried this mask every day for 5 days....its AMAZING...my skin looks so refreshed!And bonus point is that done everyday...this will make the red-spots VANISH!!!

8) Apply ur acne cream before bed.

THATS IT!!JUST 8 STEPS FOR A HUGE BOOST IN YOUR CONFIDENCE!!

I am not kidding...there is a HUGE difference in my red-spots after just 5 days of this routine.I am going to stick to this routine.U guys ABSOLUTELY MUST TRY THIS.....

THIS WAS MY FRIEND WHO SAID THIS AND IT REALLY WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


TAKE CARE!!

Legal Medical Question?

by liber(the poet);

was in the hospital last week for menstrual cramps being the worse they have ever been.My family physician advised me that if they got worse than normal go to the hospital to been seen because of a past diagnosis with ovarian cysts.I went to the hospital to be seen and went he doctor finally came back she walked in and told me right away that she couldn't' do anything for me that I would have to see a gynecologist.I tried explaining to her what my primary care physican had told me to do but she didn't see interested.I told her that I do have ovarian cysts, her response was "most women have them without problems".I also told her that the cramps have lasted double of what they normally do, she then told me "Overweight women have cramps, you might just want to loose weight".Do I have a malpractice case or was she doing her job properly?

The only thing they did for me was give me something for the nausea that was due to the severe cramps. Give me a bag of saline.

This was also 2 months after I ended up int he hospital because of my cramps and vomiting myself into an irregular heart rhythm. They canceled my tests that time because the cramps had stopped by the time they were going to do it.

No you do not have a malpractice suit.The Dr was correct if you are overweight what is the point of seeking medical care?It is a bit like a smokers going to Hospital because they cannot breath, after 20 years of smoking 100 cigars a day.However you might want to try evening primrose oil, I take it as prescribed by my GP for PMS.I had a lump removed from my breast and was told 'It is Firocystic Breast Disease, nothing we can do for you, take two aspirins every month'.However I saw another Doctor who suggested I try evening primrose oil and no more PMS, it is lovely.Best of Luck

INDO-US TRADE: Relationship broadly balanced: Meera Shankar!

File photo of Indian Amba*sador to the U.S.Meera Shankar - PTI.

Describing India-U.S.trade ties as «unique,» outgoing Indian amba*sador Meera Shankar has said it is broadly balanced to the benefit of the two sides and sought the focus on infrastructure debt funds in India where American insurance firms are expected to find new opportunities for investment.

«The relationship is growing, so that it will itself propel momentum for stronger economic ties.But more than that, the Indian economy is growing.If we are able to sustain robust growth in India then demand in India will also increase for goods, services, and tie-ups, and Indian companies will become more global in their reach,» Ms.Shankar toldВ . Ms.Shankar, whose tenure officially came to an end on Sunday, was the Minister of Economy at the emba*sy here when New Delhi liberalised the nation's economy in the early 1990s.

«The India-U.S.trade and economic relationship is unique because it is a relationship where both sides are benefiting; it is broadly balanced in both directions and it is growing in both directions.This year, again we have seen trade increase by 20 per cent in terms of figures of the trade in the first quarter of the year,» she said.

One area where India clearly wants the U.S.to focus is infrastructure, Ms.Shankar said.«Recent policy changes which are being made in India with regard to permitting the setting up of the infrastructure debt fund would propel new interest by the U.S.Pension Fund and Insurance companies in investing in India.»

«The India-U.S.trade and investment flows have become far more robust,» Ms.Shankar said. For Green Building & LEED Certification Services, www.greentekindika.com

Jannah or Jahanum

Q: Salam alaikum Imam,

It is in the grave that we know if we are going to Jannah or Jahanum, right?Then will those that know that they are going to Jannah still worry on the Day of Judgment or will they be relieved?

And what does it mean by some groups of people being able to go to Jannah years earlier than others?
