Which is better for concealing blemishes: Advanced Concealer (clinique) or Mac's studio finish spf 35?

Neither. When you use a concealer all you are doing is covering up the problem. You should start by finding a good cleanser and toner that works for your skin type. Get rid of the problem instead of covering it. I know you will still get some blemishes and it is alright to use a concealer for the occasional cover-up. If you are going to buy one anyway go with the spf 35. You should start wrinkle care early that way you don't have to fight with them so hard when they really are an issue.

Mercedez, you'll need to change your diet (stay away from fried, foods); eat more fruit, veggies and nuts, drink lots and lots of water and take a good vitamin/mineral supplement. A quality product would be to your advantage to use - I like aularale.com/7002. The fade gel will work on the discoloration you have and the vitamin c serum will keep the zits away period. The skin care is awesome as it contains a masque that removes the dead, dry skin cells, stimulate blood flow (necessary for healing), close the pores and pull toxins to the surface for elimination; the foundation, you will find, matches your under tones thereby giving you a perfect match. With this line, you will see results in days, not weeks. Last, but not least, remember that what you put in will be in direct proportion to what you get out. Take care of yourself from within.

What gets rid of blemishes/scratched pimple marks fast?! thank you?

Usually I would use a product called Sisheido Pureness ';Blemish targeting gel'; and it costs around $39 AUS money.





Otherwise if you are extremely desperate use foundation and concealer (that's what I usually do)!What gets rid of blemishes/scratched pimple marks fast?! thank you?
I go to a dermatologist who gives me prescription acne treatments to put on my face, along with washing my face with antibacterial face wash such as Cetaphil. My skin has been clear for 3 years now. It's been great! Dermatologists are doctors who specialize in skin, so you can definitely trust them to help you! I highly suggest going to see one over any ';over the counter'; acne treatment.

Ice lowers the swelling, but make sure you have an hour after you put on the ice so the redness from the cold will disappear!

Need to clear up blemishes today...?

I have two big and red blemishes on my face and I need to clear them up today (as much as possible) for tomorrow. Should I apply some make-up to them, even though I never had before?Need to clear up blemishes today...?
no! applying makeup will only clog the pores and make things worse. go to the drugstore and buy some quick remedy serum stuff... see my sources!Need to clear up blemishes today...?
I believe you can go to a dermatologist and get a cortisone shot right into it. Nothing will clear up a blemish right away, but it can happen overnight.
use alcohol on them or tea tree oil or even witch-hazel -- any of these will make them go down in no time. good luck.

What paint technique should I use on my ';blemished'; wall?

I just took wallpaper off my wall and am in the process of washing it. There are pieces of the drywall that have come off I think. There are these little brown spots here and there. Also the surface is not smooth. So my question is what paint technique should I use to mask this? I want a garden theme and was thinking the texture might look nice. If I wash the wall, then prime it, will that make my surface flat and smooth again? Maybe take a sponge and blot all over? Or paint it first then go back over blotting? Thanks everyone.What paint technique should I use on my ';blemished'; wall?
I've made the mistake of trying to use paint techniques to cover flaws in walls. It never turns out right. The flaws just end up looking worse and worse as time goes on...and especially when you repaint the next time.





If you want a nice wall again, wash the wall and let it dry. Then use a 3'; plaster blade and a container of vinyl spackle (unless you have real plaster walls...then use plaster spackle) and cover the holes and dings. Let it dry and sand it smooth with a fine grit sanding block. Then prime the wall and repaint it however you'd like. It's not hard to get them back in shape now...it's just really much harder if you paint it now and want to fix it later.What paint technique should I use on my ';blemished'; wall?
If your washing the drywall you need to STOP now you need to do is i would go to hardware store and get info on what you need. When you get to the hardware store ask them for some info sometimes they can show you samples of a wall treatment. Your going to go there anyway OK Oh just remember what you think your furniture will go with the tecnique.
You might consider using a paint roller and paint that leaves a rough textured look, this will cover over any small imperfections, however it is rough to touch and will take the skin off your elbows every time you rub against it lol
Correct, wash all the paste residue off your walls and let dry. Next prime the walls with a good primer like a Zinsser product named ';Sheildz'; this will also lock down any residue you didn't get off and let dry. Now with 100 grit sand paper lightly sand your walls, those little brown spots you talk about are the paper facing of the sheetrock and now that you've primed should sand up pretty good for you. Next use a broad knife or a 6'; wide putty knife and with using some joint compound go and lightly skim your spots, let dry and lightly sand and repeat this 2 more times. Once you've gotten them looking pretty good spot prime your compounded areas and your ready for paint. good luck and take your time, Les the Painter

Would a slight blemish in the art of a book cover cause you to think the book was of poor quality?

I hired an illustrator for a book of horse stories, but the charcoal drawing of the horse on the cover isn't perfect in the chest and shoulder. It's not bad, but it is noticable. Would that blemish make you think the book was unprofessional?





How does the art in a book influence your purchase decisions?Would a slight blemish in the art of a book cover cause you to think the book was of poor quality?
I probably wouldn't notice it, honestly. Maybe you should show it around to people, and see if they notice it before you point it out?Would a slight blemish in the art of a book cover cause you to think the book was of poor quality?
I'm glad most people on here are saying it wouldn't bother them. I sell books on-line, so I look at all kinds of books. I have seen some that are rather unprofessional, and mistakes on the cover would make me nervous, especially if I was making the purchase as ';new.'; I know it may not make a difference to the story, but if I planned to re-sell it, it would detract from the price I could ask.





Is there any way to do any ';blending';? What about the book title? Surely there's some way. You say it is noticeable. Have you asked others about it, or is it just because you know what to look for? I don't want you to be discouraged. Heck, if it's a small print run and you re-do the cover, they'll end up collectibles!





Go with what you're comfortable with. If you're okay with it, make your move. If not, see what you can do. It's really exciting to hear you're about to publish. Congrats!
I don't pick books to read because of the cover art. And how bad are the flaws? And what type of book?
Well...someone else will say this I am sure but I tend to not judge a book by its cover. If your buyer is a real enthusiast he or she will open the book to see what is inside before they purchase it. However, if the cover bothers you that bad you might want to have someone else do the drawing or maybe have them do it over. If you are paying them to do it I don't see why you would be wrong in asking.
No. I've never had a book's artwork turn me away from it; I did once buy a book because the art was by Thomas Canty, who I love, and the book was horribly unreadable.
No, it wouldn't make me not want to by it. To me the front artwork is just an interpretation of the book mater. If you didn't have any control over the artwork there is nothing you can do but if you write another book I would want the right to see and approve the artwork first.
The cover artwork doesn't usually affect me, it is the titles that jump out at me. I always seem to be drawn to dark, mysterious, and magical books, strange................
No, not really. I think that it is the quality of the story and not the cover. Besides, I like cover pictures that make me sit there and think about it, and a slight blemish might make it more interesting to look at and give me more things to think about.
Unfortunately I do buy a book based on the cover at times.





Generally in a bookstore the cover %26amp; title entice me to pick up the book for the first look. Generally I am looking for what is on the cover more than how well the drawing is (ie: I like horses so a horse on the cover would encourage picking up of a book, a cover of a chicken and the book would not get picked up)





Then I do the ';Read random 80 words test'; Where I open the book somewhere in the middle and read until it becomes boring. If I do not feel like putting the book back down after this test I buy it!





I wonder about the overal quality of the illustration if something like the front of the horse is not perfect. Perhaps purchase some stock photography instead? Or cover up the blemish with the title?
No. Art can be anything. It is suppose to reflect the story, but I have found that it doesn't always.
dont judge a book by its cover!





your book may be excellent regardless of how much money you put into it...and if you are unsatisfied you did pay him after all so why dont you tell him to draw it again as it is unsatisfactory?
Really depends on your audience. A horse breeder or a teenaged girl who is infatuated with horses might say something but the general public isn't likely to moan.

Would scar vanishing cream work on acne and blemish scars?

No, the ads seem great but they don't work..Would scar vanishing cream work on acne and blemish scars?
I think it would work, but I highly advise against it. The things in these products are not noncomedogenic, meaning they may clog your pores. Im a model and I use the Proactiv Toner and it does a really good job of blending in those types of scars.

since your face is oily use clean and clear's continuous acne control cream cleanser (purple and white tube bottle thing) twice a day.


use witch hazel as a toner at night, with a cotton ball, so it takes off any excess dirt that didnt come off before





try to exfoliate once a week with a honey/asprin mask. get 4 uncoated asprins and put a lil water on them and crush them so they turn into a paste, then add it to some honey and use that to exfoliate. leave it on for 15 minutes





you can also do a honey mask everyday for 15 minutes. its a natural antiseptic and it improves your skins appearance over time. (dont include the asprin)
Talk to a dermatologist. Online, you may be able to submit a question to a real one and get a reply. My friend was told to use anti-bacterial soap like Dial. It worked for her. She also uses a salicylic acid astringent at 2%. Seems to work for her. I use it, too. Always, always wash your face in the morning and at bedtime. Change and/or clean your pillow cases often or anything that touches your face. Keep styling products off of your skin and wash your hands after usage. When in the restroom, pat your face with some sort of blotting paper. It could be a clean sheet of the towels they have or something like Scott's regular toilet paper. It doesn't leave lint on your face. LOL.
OH MY GOD!!! i tryed this stuff called [ Milk of Magnesia ] and it gets rid of all your pimples, zits, and red blemishes!!!! *its in a blue container... and it is a saline laxative* what you do is you rub it on your face (DONT DRINK IT) keep it on for 5-10 minutes and then scrub it off... do this every night befor you go to bed and EVERYTHING will go away in a week *or two*

How do you keep your face blemish free?

Any products you have used and that have really worked? I wash morning and night and tried a few creams but it seems I always have a few spots?!How do you keep your face blemish free?
Here, try using these great home remedies.





Using Lemon is the best thing to reduce the marks and blemishes on the skin. It can be applied directly on the skin.








You can also rub a lemon peel on the skin with a little sugar on it or without the sugar. After rubbing it leave it on the skin for at least 10 minutes. If you practice this regularly you can reduce the scars/marks finely.








Grate potatoes, wrap them in a cloth and take out the juice. Mix few drops of lemon juice and honey to it and apply it on your face. If you don't want to apply it all over the face then apply only on the marks. Wash off after 20 minutes. (Potato has bleaching agents, which reduces the blemishes.)





Make a mixture of tomato juice and lemon juice. You can fill it in a bottle and keep it in the refrigerator. You can apply this mixture on your face daily with a cotton ball.








Honey added in milk powder helps in reducing the blemishes.








If you have real dark blemishes on the skin make a powder of dry lemon peels and orange peels.








Drinking lots of water to keep the skin hydrate and detoxified.





Good Luck

Should I use the Revlon colorstay blemish concealer while using my Clean and Clear continuous Control Cleanser?

I am thinking of buying the Revlon colorstay blemish concealer, but it says :


When using this product using other topical acne medications at the same time or immediately following use of this product may increase dryness or irritation of the skin. If this occurs, only one medication should be used unless directed by a doctor; avoid contact with eyes





I dont want to increase irritation.


If i use the concealer, can I not use my cleanser, and vice versa?Should I use the Revlon colorstay blemish concealer while using my Clean and Clear continuous Control Cleanser?
Okay...if you look on practically any acne cleanser with good ingredients (such as benzoyl peroxide, or salicyd acid, etc) it ALWAYS says that...just use them both, and if any dry skin comes with em, use face lotion (somethin that's meant for the face, and has no oils, and doesn't clog ur pores) =) good luck





-Karly xoxoShould I use the Revlon colorstay blemish concealer while using my Clean and Clear continuous Control Cleanser?
I would be very very very careful mixing anything with clean and clear products! I made that mistake and the skin on my entire face had cracks (no lie) and it was red and i could barely move my mouth that it hurt so bad! I would not take my chances....
yea the medicine always says that.. its ok.. but if yu over use your medicine like i did..itll irritate your face on its own.. just b careful

I always have a face with blemishes, how can you get rid of them, not forever, but so that i can look decent.?

can you use any home products like toothbrushes, I am 14 years old btw. :]I always have a face with blemishes, how can you get rid of them, not forever, but so that i can look decent.?
This is what I would do:





Mix baking soda and witch hazel/or water together until it comes to a good constancy, and then spread on your face and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. these two things are very inexpensive and it's very easy to do since there is only two ingredients.





Toothpaste is good for drying out your pimple (for some people). Put only a little bit before you go to sleep. Some people use this as a mask but DON鈥楾 EVER DO THIS! It can change your skin tone and make your face discolored.





Aloe vera helps scars lighten and less noticeable (lemon, cocoa butter, witch hazel, and tea tree oil do the same thing). Use the gel (of the aloe plant) or the real thing.





Try to buy a cleanser that works for you, and when you wash your face, open your pores with hot water (not too hot, or it will dry out your skin) and massage it gently into your skin. Then, use cold water at the end to close you pores. The smaller your pores are, the less likely you're prone to pimples. Clearasil, Neutrogena, and proactive are good choices to start if you want a cleanser. Don't use body soaps because they dry out your skin. Don't scrub too hard either, because it can irritate your skin.





An egg yoke can be used to make you pores smaller. I used this when I had pimples. Just take the egg yolk (the yellow part) and leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with warm water and then splash your face with cold water.





Keep your hair out of your face because the oils in your hair could go into your pores. Change you sheets because they're are trapped with dirt, oils, etc.





Zinc (type of vitamin) is the one of the best things you can use to get rid of pimples. You can buy these almost about any large store (such as Wal-Mart or Shaws.) Have one tablet per day and try to cut down the junk food and replace it with vegetables and fruits. Drink lots of water and don't pop you acne. Popping acne can lead to acne scars.





If you have sensitive skin, don't use make up. Some of the things in make up can clog your pores and cause pimples.I always have a face with blemishes, how can you get rid of them, not forever, but so that i can look decent.?
um i think proactive works for the longrun so i would look into that, um do not use a toothbrush it wont do anything but make ur face look red, um i would wash ur face after any activity and in the morning and at night bc blemishes are building up under ur skin for 2 weeks before u even see them... um then i would only pop them if necessary like if they r white- i know its gross but true- but only pop them with ur fingers not ur nails... oh and for the quick fix i would just use a light concealer and foundation.
if you want something form a drugstore buy clean and clear control cleanser with the clean and clear advantage oil-free moisturizer. if you have oily skin use both in the morning and at night. if you have combination or dry skin use only at night and apply the moisturizer in the morning. dont use bad makeup! for oily skin use powder. liquid foundation and oily skin just dont work well together. an awesome powder is physicians formula mineral loose powder. it soaks up unwanted oil and helps sensitive and acne prone skin. but the last thing you want to do is put loose powder on dry skin. dry skin needs to be hydrated throughout the day. use physicians formula mineral liquid makeup. it also helps sensitive and acne prone skin. another thing you can do with any kind of skin type is go with all natural cleansers. try zyporex, its all natural and just for acne. it gives you a really clean feeling. natural can be the best thing because it doesnt contain harsh chemicals that can irritate your face rather than help.
