What is a good body moisturizer for acne-prone skin?
I have a good facial moisturizer and I use body butter for my arms and legs, but I need something for my back and chest. The skin in this area is prone to cystic acne so I don%26#039;t want anything that would have even the remotest possibility of plugging the pores, and definitely oil-free.

Can tattoo parlors ink match the color of your skin to cover up a permanent tattoo?
I am in the medical field and I have two tattoos that MUST be removed. I am low on cash and I am trying to find the most effective yet cost efficient way of doing this. Please help!|||No, not possible. Why do they have to be removed, can%26#039;t they be covered while working? There are foundations that work to cover it while you%26#039;re working.|||I%26#039;m afraid not. Ink is transparent, not opaque. You cannot cover up a darker colour with a lighter colour without it showing through. Think of it like placing a see-through bit of flesh coloured paper over another coloured bit of paper, whatever colour your tattoo is. Doesn%26#039;t work. And if it did, believe me all these people wouldn%26#039;t be spending thousands of their money on laser surgery, they don%26#039;t enjoy throwing money down the drain! You%26#039;re not the first and you won%26#039;t be the last to have this problem and laser surgery is the only realistic route. There are other options, such as dermabrasion, which you could look into as I believe it%26#039;s cheaper, but these aren%26#039;t offered so widely any more as they leave behind horrific scarring.
PLEASE don%26#039;t be conned into purchasing these %26#039;home tattoo removal creams%26#039; such as Wrecking Balm and others. They don%26#039;t work, nobody has ever had a tattoo removed by cream, at most, rarely, they can fade a tattoo so a cover up tattoo can be put over the top (not a flesh coloured one!) but even that is questionable, and by that point you%26#039;d have spent a LOT of money on a course of it anyway which you could be putting towards laser. Please don%26#039;t waste your time and money. And any positive reviews/testimonials you%26#039;ll find on them - guess who wrote them! They did.
You can always try looking into makeup such as dermablend which people claim can cover tattoos for a few hours at a time. It%26#039;s not cheap, and if you%26#039;re having to use it over your entire working life the cost will eventually overtake what you%26#039;d have spent on laser no doubt, but at least it will be spread over a long period of time. Otherwise it may just be a case of coming up with an inventive way of hiding the tattoos - where are they?|||my tattoo man says he can remove tattoo%26#039;s by going over the tattoo quite deep to cause it to bleed- let that heal and start again, maybe several times, but he says eventually the renewal of the new skin will eventually bring out the ink. i tried having this done but stopped after the first attempt as it was so painful and i got an infection. - maybe as he went so deep, don%26#039;t know. i know it sounds bad but he is one of the most reputable artists in the city. it cost next to nothing as no ink was involved|||Unfortunately it doesn%26#039;t work that way.
Which is why when you cover black tattoos with white, it comes are grey, blotchy and generally horrible looking. You need layers and layers of white before it%26#039;d be remotely faded. And that would be really expensive, painful and scar-y.
Laser is a much better option. See if you can have a payment plan worked out?
You might also want to look into Dermablend (cosmetics for burns and tattoos), as long as its not on your hands. Its really quite good stuff.|||I got my first and only tattoo in 1952, and I have hated it for 57
For the past 57 days, I have been removing a 57-year-old tattoo on my right forearm. I have over the years experimented with several methods to remove it including burning it with a soldering tool, microscopic amounts of powerful acid, and I have even tried removing it with wart remover. The results til now have been disappointing. Which has left a scar for each attempt.
have been building a model ship, and had a lot of modeling equipment on hand. One day a couple of months ago my thoughts went back to my tattoo and how it could be removed. I tried sandpaper discs in my rotary tool.%26quot; not enough results%26quot;.
I found that I had had a new stainless steel Dremel brush, still in its package. After soaking it in isopropyl alcohol overnight, I chucked it into my rotary tool, smeared the tattoo with antibacterial ointment and began the removal process. At first I was very apprehensive and did not know what to expect.
I barley touched the rotary brush to my skin. There was no pain, so I touched it again a little harder. Still no pain but this time I saw a little line of blood barely visible in the ointment. I was encouraged and went over the entire tattoo. My purpose was to place the incisions as close together as I could as long as the width of the lines of the design .The bleeding which I experienced would not have soaked a q-tip. The little microscopic parallel incisions heal individually and are too small to form visible scar tissue.
My self-inflicted scars from previous attempts went away with my tattoo.
My latest procedure was only 3 days ago and I have not caused any scaring. .
The %26quot;Professional Laser%26quot; horror stories which I have read have bothered me to the point that I just wanted to see if I could do it without the trauma, expense and heartache. I also wanted to prove the people wrong who declair that Lazer is the only way, the cost of which can reach into the thousands of dollars.
I have posted several photos of the progress of my removal at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/37197293@N0鈥?/a>
I will continue posting updates daily until it is completely gone.
Wal mart sells a battery operated tool similar to mine for less than $20.00, And the brush is less than $3.00.

Which body skin portion is the most exposed to pain when getting a tattoo?
From the usual body skin portions that a person gets a tattoo on, which area is the most painful?
::: Thanks.|||Nyanna:
General information about having a %26quot;tattoo%26quot;.
It%26#039;s not nearly as bad as what you might imagine. The pain comes from the cluster of needles on the tattooing machine piercing your skin very rapidly. This sensation, however, doesn%26#039;t feel like the poking pain of an injection--it%26#039;s more of a constant vibration. You will be amazed at how quickly your body releases endorphins, (pain killers), which dulls the pain significantly.
The pain will also vary according to where on your body you get worked on. Skin right above bones (collarbone, anklebone, etc.) tend to be more painful than other areas. In addition, certain types of needles seem to
hurt more than others. I personally think the needles used for outlining produce a sharper, more noticeable pain, while the needles used for shading seem to be much more like an electrical buzz (nearly painless).
Remember, you are volunteering for the experience. The amount of pain will depend on your psychological attitude.
NOTE: Do not drink alcohol or take illegal drugs for pain relief purposes prior to your tattoo sessions. Both aspirin and alcohol thin your blood and promote excessive bleeding. Aspirin also decreases the clotting of blood, which will slow down your healing as well.
As for pain, I would say it is more psychological depending on once tolerance to pain. (Myself I have and extreme high tolerance to pain of any kind). Some people are super sensitive to pain of any kind.
Here is in depth explanation of your skin.
It covers the entire body and accounts for about 7% of our total body weight, making it the largest organ. It has been estimated that every square centimeter of skin contains 70 cm of blood vessels, 55 cm of nerves, 100 sweat glands, 15 oil glands, 230 sensory receptors, and about 500,000 cells that are constantly dying and being replaced.
The skin, which varies in thickness from 1.5 to 4 mm or more in different regions of the body, has two distinct layers. The outer layer is the epidermis, a thick membranous tissue. Located below the epidermis is the dermis, a fibrous connective tissue. And, just below the dermis lies a fatty layer called the hypodermis. Although the hypodermis is usually not thought of as part of the skin or integumentary system, it shares some of the skins functions
Tattoo, is just about the same in my opinion as giving acupuncture to a patient. I test them first to see their level of tolerance. If they have zero tolerance, then they are not a candidate for acupuncture.
Areas around the toes, feet, (because of nerve endings), under the eyes, stomach I would say you will feel the most pain.
The key is to let the endorphins kick in and try to block out any pain you pay feel, with say and %26quot;IPOD%26quot;. Listen to your favorite music, helps a lot. Many dentist around the world plug music into your year for your enjoyment and relaxation.
Most important is to keep the area clean and covered. And take nothing mentioned above prior to having a tattoo that will thin out your blood and cause extensive bleeding.
Enjoy and good luck. (Always remember that a tattoo is permanent and if you ever go to remove, it will be a more pain with lazer gun, burning away your skin).

Will taking a Zinc supplement do good to my skin?
I have really oily skin and constantly break out. I read in a magazine that zinc helps heal acne. So, will taking it as a supplement be good to clear up my skin?|||Yes Zinc can help with your skin! You just really have watch how much you take in a day!|||Zinc does nothing for the skin. It acts as a cofactor for certain metabolic proteins in your body to function properly in your body. The oily skin is due to hormones within your body that leads to a bacterial infection. You can deal with your acne in two ways, talk to your doctors to control your hormones or use antibacterial agents to kill the bacteria to prevent the inflammation caused by your immune system (redness and swelling).
