It's so gross! I thought they were dirty. I scrub them in the shower but it won't go away. Someone told me it's dry skin, I put lotion on and they still look gross. Please, someone tell me how to get the dryness away
Answer:
My grandmother SWEARS this works... and this is a serious answer, stupid though it sounds :-)Take an orange and cut it in half... put one half on your elbow like you are going to "juice" it and scrub it in good. Repeat on the other elbow.The ascorbic acid in the orange will make the dead and dry skin slough off...
use aquafore?
use cocoa butter. I'm sure any lotion would work, but cocoa butter works really quick.
cut your arms off
lotion?
First you must exfoliate in the shower. The skin of the elbow is thick. Get a loofah and scrub vigorously with some moisturing body wash. Then do the half-lemon trick to remove any darkening or discoloration. Then moisturize with lotion that has alpha or beta hydroxy acid, you can buy it OTC. It's a chemical exfoliator. After that get some thick moisturizing cream like neutrogena or similar. Do this about 3 times a week.
Make a home made sea salt scrub with kosher salt and olive oil and rub it daily -
Use pure and natural products from now on.I like the idea of an orange or lemon on the tips.
Buy a lufa too and keep it handy.
I had the same problem. My elbows were so dry they would snag my shirts. I finally found something that works. First I used a body scrub on them to remove the dead skin cells and applied Emushea right out of the shower. Its a great cream that healed my elbows and dry cracked feet in a few days. The only place i've found it is www.emushea.megamarketingmall.
Plus, its all natural and has no chemical that you could break out from.

How to get rid of dark cirlces?
Answer:
You can't really get rid of dark circles. The skin around your eyes is simply thinner and allows the vessels to show some color. The best way to minimize dark circles is to stay well rested, drink lots of water and not to rub your eyes or around your eyes.
1) Vitiamin E (take some) and water
2) Be absent of exhaustion, stress and allergies (good luck)
3) Use concealer/make up
4) Use a moisturizer with sun screen in it, every day
You can help get rid of them - I use a product with natural things like mulberry extract and licorice and notice it helps a lot - Also besides rest and water check to be sure you aren't low on Iron - you may get more with red meat or green leafy veggies or simply take a multivitamin with iron.Sometimes it is stress, fatigue or genetics or perhaps the iron or a sinus infection -
Be healthy, get plenty of sleep, exercise, water, vitamins, and destress by doing yoga or something similar.If all else fails, concealer will fix that right up immediately.
How to get rid of circles under eyes?
ive had them for a really long time and i cant seem to get rid of them. i sleep well at night so i dont know what the problem is. Help?
Answer:
wow, this is the first time i've heard a guy say this.
but get 8 hours of sleep, drink water, buy eye creme, or buy concealer, avoid computer and t.v. too much.
Use a kind of makeup called concealer, one shade lighter than your natural skin tone, and apply it on your lower eyelids. It really does wonders to make you look more awake. It doesn't matter if you're a guy.. nobody ever has to know!
Drink more water. Dark circles under the eyes can be a sign of kidney trouble. Make sure you drink two litres of water a day, never iced.
taking chlorophyll and blue-green algae supplements works for me

How to get rid of canker sore other than salt water?
Answer:
Canker sores have been a pain in my family for the longest time. I get them once in while specially if someone talks about them lol (I will expect one after this question) there haven't been a medicine that heals it however there's one that just came out and it doesn't it heal it right away but it makes it heal faster than on it's own which is about a week or more. Aphthasol is a prescription medication that makes it go away within two days and it makes it hurt much less. You should try out. Ask your doctor to prescribe it over the phone.
dab a bit of antibiotic cream on them
It's painfull as heck, but dap a little bit of alcohol on it with a q-tip before going to bed, and don't dab off the excess. It should be totally dried out by morning, and if not, go ahead and do it again the next day and it has to be by then.
They only last a few days, for the mean time dab a little oral gel on it, to take away pain, I also read that canker sores are not contagious
Herbal Mouth Rinses:Rinse the mouth with licorice root tea, diluted myrrh oil or aloe vera juice to soothe and heal the sore.Use horsetail or echinacea tincture (20 drops diluted in 1/4 cup water), sage, lavender or camomile tea to rinse the mouth every two hours.Place 1 tsp. fenugreek seeds in 1 cup cold water. After six hours, bring to a boil and strain immediately. When cooled to lukewarm, add 1 tsp. honey. Use to gargle and swallow a little.Oak, burdock root, rest-harrow, red clover, red raspberry and calendula are astringent and reduce inflammation. Make a strong tea with them and use it as a mouth wash.A three-week herbal cure: Mix 3 parts nettle, 1 part sage, and 3 parts chicory. Soak 3 tbsp. of the mix in 1 qt. cold water overnight. Next morning bring to a boil, steep for five minutes, strain. Drink 1 cup three times daily.

How to get rid of bad really,really bad acne?
My friend has really bad acne on her jawline and nose but mostly on her jawline.I was wondering if there are any home made products to get rid of her ance because her mom won't buy her any good ance products. maybe some a face cleaning product. Maybe tips on how to take care of her face and how to prevent this.Any thing else you think she needs to know on skin care.Thanks:)
Answer:
Tell her to wash her face daily with an antibacterial soap, unscented. (Like dial). Also, if her face is really oily, she could use alcohol or witch hazel on the areas that are oily. And tell her to remember to moisturize daily. Even oily skin needs to be moisturized. Note: dont do any of these things too often! It will make acne worse! I usually do them in the morning and before i go to bed. Also, tell her to use a waterbased foundation if she wears makeup.
HI!!HOW R U? PROACTIV IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!... I LOVE IT! I USED 2 HAV TERRIBLE ACNE ALL OVA MA FACE, NOW I ONLY HAV LIKE 2, MY FACE IS NOW PRETTIER.
drinki much water,
put water on her face very often and don't weep it. let it dry on her face.
and as little scraping as it's possible. believe me it's the worst
they're good solutions. i had a bad acne too and i know
Here's a home-made tip someone once told me about...use toothpaste on the acne, it will dry it out, and help clear it up. +Toothpaste is cheaper than the other stuff+Hope this helps, TC; )
Your health care provider can help with an appropriate antibiotic. For Gals birth control pills work wonders.
Facial turmeric powder (kasthuri manual) 鈥?1 spoon, honey 鈥?陆 spoon, few drops of olive oil, curd 鈥?陆 spoon, table salt 鈥?录 spoon. Mix these items to make a paste and apply on your face. More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html...

How to get rid of bacne?
i have terrible bacne (acne on ur back). i just need some tips on getting rid of it with something i have acces to. It's seems weird but every since i had spine surgery i have had bad bacne, and i think it's because i couldn't wash my back for months. I know it's gross, but i need help before swimsuit season!
Answer:
Use a poof with an extension handle. I buy those, and they work great for cleaning your back.
there is a body wash from oxy that is amazing! it works really well! you can get it at almost every drugstore or wal-mart etc.
If you don't want to use prescription medicine, I suggest using a loofah %26 a good brand exfoliator, like Clearasil or Neutrogena.
It's hard to get rid of back acne without a prescription like doxycycline or minocycline or something similar. You could try putting benzoyl peroxide 10% on your back every day and night. Just be careful because it will bleach clothes, towels, etc.

How to get rid of all physical feeling and pain?
My mom has pain all over her body and, no one knows why it's happening. Is their any way (like some sort of injection) where it can just take away all feeling and pain in her body. Like killing the nerves. She says even if she can't walk after it, she doesn't care as long as she doesn't feel any pain after it? Also do you know any clinics that do that sort of thing in Wisconsin or Illinois or even anywhere in the states would be nice. Any help would be much appriciated. Thank you.
Answer:
Sorry, but general anesthesia or finding and curing the source of her pain seems like the only options. I've had morphine before for serious injury and another time for serious illness ... that was exceptionally good at dealing with the pain - the pain was reduced, but mostly it was that I didn't care about the pain anymore. However, it is highly addictive physically and psychologically. It's not really a treatment for chronic pain.Has she gone to some doctors? If her general practioner or gynecologist can't figure out what it is, try visiting a neurologist and rhuemetologist. My guess is that either of these competent professionals may be able to find the source of her pain.
You can't actually there is a disease that causes this no non-addicting drug can do that! That's why we have painkillers and anesthesiologist! But she may feel better after received bee stings and acupuncture! I know they sound weird but they actually work!
your mother needs to get to the source of the pain. Pain is an indicater that something is going on inside of the body... there is a reason why. she needs to keep going to the dr,'s to find out excatly what's going on then the pain management can be addressed.
Have the doctors tried giving her morphine?
maybe she has arthirtis or lupus?
Is she depressed? The reason I ask is because pain comes as physical, emotional and psychological. However emotional and psychological pain we tend to equate as physical pain only. The way to find out, what does your Mum 'like' to do? Perhaps she like to watch TV, or do some work in the garden? Find out what she likes, take her and make sure she gets involved in what she likes, enjoys and then see if she 'mentions' pain? If for example she enjoys watching a certain TV program, or Film and during the time she is watching, occupied with the program or film she does not mention pain, then chances are it is not a physical pain.
