How long does a homemade sugar scrub last?


I am wanting to make a sugar scrub but I am unsure of the shelf life of it after it's done. The recipie is basically an oil and sugar with essential or fragrance oils. I'm going to make it in small batches but I'd like to know how long it will last if it isn't used right away. Any suggestions anyone?
----------

i make a couple of cups at a time and i never had it go bad. I think the longest i ever had it was about a month, but i use it everyday so it doesn't last very long.  (+ info)

What is the difference between facial foam and facial scrub?


I mean, the difference in their usage, effectiveness, and so on. Yesterday I went to Guardian. It was my first time buying facial products. The salesgirl told me that I should be using facial scrub since I am a first time user. But I mistakenly bought the facial foam. This morning I tried the facial foam eventhough the salesgirl told me that first timers should use facial scrub. Should I worry? Or, should I follow her advice? I am totally lost in this area, please guide me.

It is important to only exfoliate skin twice a week, unless it is a daily exfoliator. Be gentle with the skin, do not press down hard, lightly stroke it across the face. Use a gentle exfoliation with smaller grains to prevent irritation, never exfoliate straight after shaving, however it is benefical to exfoliate the beard to prevent in-grown hairs and it also lifts the beards up, providing a closer shave.

When used in the theatre, film or television industry, a facial prosthesis alters a person's normal face into something extraordinary. Facial prosthetics can be made from a wide range of materials - including latex, foam latex, silicone, and cold foam. Effects can be as subtle as altering the curve of a cheek or nose, or making someone appear older or younger than they are. A facial prosthesis can also transform an actor into a sci-fi creature, an anthropomorphic animal, mythological beast and more.  (+ info)

What brand of concealer and facial scrub would you recommend?


I hate all the white heads on my face. Plus the dark circles under my eyes are kind of frustrating. I've used every possible concealer there is and I don't get the result I want. Would anyone tell me what concealer and facial scrub should I buy?
----------

Hi,
The best concealer Ive come across is chimare mineral makeup cream concealer- it is absolutely THE best thing ever. its so light, doesnt cake and you can wear it on its own without foundation and you cant see it, and its waterproof!  (+ info)

How often should I use an exfoliating face scrub?


I posted a question about how exfoliating works, I know now how it works and how my skin benefits from it, thank you very much for all of your answers, but now I have another question.

So with my St. Ives Apricot Scrub, is it alright to use it everyday?
----------

That one is too rough for everyday - you will cause acne if you overuse. Every other day or 2-3 times a week is best.  (+ info)

Does blackhead scrub work for regular pimples?


I recently bought Clean and Clear blackhead clearing scrub. It has salicylic acid. will it help get rid of normal pimples too?
----------

Hey, salicylic acid generally helps to exfoliate within the pore to stop them getting clogged (resulting in black heads and white heads) and if they don't get clogged in the first place then bacteria is less likely to cause them to get inflamed resulting in pimples. But its more effective in a lotion that stays on your skin rather than a scrub that you wash off. What is also really good for pimples (rather than blackheads) is a topical lotion containing Benzoyl peroxide. Check out the link below - it is incredibly helpful in understanding how skin and pores work and what causes blackheads and pimples and what works and what doesn't work to prevent them.   (+ info)

What is the best cream or lotion or scrub or something for in-shower hair removal?


What is the best cream or lotion or scrub or whatever else there is that I can use in the shower for long-lasting hair removal?
Thanks so much <3
Does it work for armpits as well?
----------

I use Veet Hair Removal Cream.It is a cream which you apply before you get in the shower with your hands, or they supply a thing to scrape it on. I think it removes about 90% of the hair, but the hair left over looks like isn't there. It last for about 1-2 weeks, but the hair actually grows back softer and smoother. Hope this helps!

Does anyone know of any scrub pants to fit a size 0 girl that actually look good?


I am a very petite tiny girl and am a nurse but i have the worse problem finding scrub pants that actually look good. The butt is always so baggy and they are way to big in the waist..... Help! Where can i find normal looking scrub pants for me?
----------

Tafford is the only place I know to get size XXS petite. If you need a petite size, they have 2 styles to choose from and they're available in a bunch of colors:

If you just need XXS regular length, they have a few more styles available.

By the way, all their prints are made to match back to the solids, so you can find a color that you like, and choose items that match.

Good luck!  (+ info)

What are some good home remedies for a facial scrub and moisturizer?


I want to try some good home remedies for a facial scrub and moisturizer, and I was wondering if anyone knew how to make one that really works.

Thanks
----------

The best face scrub hands down is white sugar and extra virgin olive oil mixed together. It makes your face really smooth and glowing. Extra virgin olive oil also works good as a moisturizer. It doesn't break me out either, surprisingly.  (+ info)
