Carrot Skin Care

Question: What are some facial skin care products that don't have petroleum in them? My skin has become extremely sensitive due to GLOBAL WARMING and I feel very determined to change my entire skin care line from Neutrogena to a more trusted brand.. what's out there.. pure coconut, carrot, olive, shea, or something a long those lines.. thanks!

Answer: There's a range of skincare products called Miessence. They are 100% certified organic and definitely DO NOT contain petroleum. AND they are a carbon neutral company so they don't leave their carbon footprint on the world either. They do their ordering on line and you get things delivered to you very quickly. I've had things sent to me in the States as well as Australia. Also, if you check out the website (I've put it in the 'Source' section) there's a lot on other environmental information there. Hope this helps,

Question: Using skin care Products with retinol (vitamin e)? Is using skin care products with retinol safe for some one in their Early 20's. I just purchased some skin care products that are carrot and fruit based and I was wondering if it was safe t use since it's mostly geared to reducing wrinkles and uneven skin-tone. below is a link to the skin care line I purchased the cleanser, moisturizer and eye gel. http://www.woodridgelab.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=107&c=36 I MEANT VITAMEN A

Answer: Retinol is Vitamin A and Vitamin E is Alpa tocopherol.better yet use some food supplement with high content of vit.E like for example myra 400e.

Question: I am 21 and getting spots that i never got as a teenager, what am i doing wrong? As a teenager i always had clear skin apart from the odd spot when i was due on. As i reached 18 i wanted to wear foundation as tinted moisturiser wasnt looking fresh all day and i wanted an airbrush look. I used revlon foundation for 2years and was getting spotty skin mainly around my chin, occasionaly looking blocked around my nose and an od spot on my forehead (rarely though). I was using simple products and decided to change to clinique which cost me a fortune! it staretd to clear my skin up after a few days but then i would get new spots all over again, i stayed with the clinique products for over a month but i still was having breakouts and started to get realy dry skin, i decided to change my foundation to mac studio fix fluid as revlon was not covering me all day and i dont like reapplying make up. The mac foundation is great i absolutly love it! It lasts all day and night when i go out i dont need to reaply, its great coverage and i love the way it makes my skin look. However i still get spots, i tried using soap & glory products but i was feeling quite sticky from them, so i tried clean & clear, i found there see through cleansers were drying me out aswell as there soap washes but i absolutly love there beaded scrub thats soo gentle it says you can use it everyday! It unclogsmy pores realy well and leaves me feeling clean and soft, i follow this scrub with the clean and clear oil free moisturiser. BUT although it starts to clear me, i still notice new spots appearing?? The only reason i dont think its my foundation is because ive gone a week without wearing make up and i still get spots. I eat a balanced diet, i drink water everyday and the only other drink i occasionaly have is carrot juice which is gd for your skin and i take vitamins every other day! so what the hell am i doing wrong? i know i pick spots which is a realy bad habbit that i dnt always realise i am doing lol but i havent picked in 4days woo but im still getting new problems. I get really realy bad skin a week before my due on day but it doesnt explain why im not completely clear any other time. Please help because i have speant way too much money on skin care products to rule out that its not because my skin is dirty, and i dont want to have to change my foundation n find out that wasnt the problem so i want to try and rule out everything before my make up. P.S the kind of spots i get incase this helps with finding the problem: Not acne, some red spots, some with white heads and once a month i get a cyst which realy hurts, last month i had one on my cheek near my nose and this month i had one on my chin, they realy hurt and can go realy swollen if i try to squeeze them, but they are rare compared to the other spots. oh n i sometimes get a cluster of spots under the skin which thanks to my scrub have nearly gone. Thanx xxxxxx

Answer: quick question...are your periods regular? sometimes the spots around the chin can idicate a hormone imbalance connected with PCOS...especially since youre saying its once a month. spots can also indicate problems associated with drinking alcohol too the liver and kindeys flushing out toxins. you should nip to the docs for advice, you may find just a suppliment or face cream will clear it up

Question: Any cooking tips you care to share? one of my favorites is to freeze veggies for soup! I save the tops of celery, carrots, onions, and garlic: skin and all, washed of course.

No this is no "chat" i'm looking for tips, thanks. if you don't have an answer-it's easy, don't answer.

Question: How to take care of an injured young bunny? My cat got hold of a young bunny, not an infant, but not an adult (I have no idea how to tell how old it is) this morning. Looks like he ripped the hair and the top layer of skin off its back. Normally we just take them across the street into bushes and let them go, but I'm afraid if I let this one go its injuries will get infected and it will die. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to take care of it. I put it in a cat carrier in the garage with some lettuce and carrots, and tried putting water on a plate since I don't have one of those water holders for rabbits. It ate some carrots this morning, but I don't think it has eaten or drank since. Can I clean its wounds with peroxide or anything? I haven't done anything because I don't want to cause any more harm. My dog has an appointment at the humane society vet tomorrow afternoon, I figure I'll see if they'll take him or ask them for advice then, but for now does anyone have anything that could help? Thanks. I would love to take it somewhere they could help it better, but I can't get ahold of anyone at the humane society and the nearest rescue is over an hour away. I don't want to sound cold, but for one little bunny that's a pretty far drive. That's why I was hoping I could take care of it at least tonight until I talk to them at the humane society tomorrow.

Answer: Wild animals get injured all the time on their own. He'll be fine. They clean wounds themselves. If you keep it with you, especially caged in such a small space, it could very easily die of shock. That's what happened to my bunny when I had to take her to the vet for a possible injury. She was so scared she just died. It hasn't eating or drank anything because it's terrified. Can you blame it? It's completely wild, not at all used to humans, and it's hurt. If you're really worried about it though, see if you have some sort of wildlife vet/center/whatever thing in your area and take him there instead. My cat got a hold of a bird once, and we took it there, and they sent us a postcard a few weeks later telling us it had healed and been released. The staff there is trained to treat wild animals while frightening them as little as possible, and then releasing them in the best spot.

Question: 16 year old - going to lose weight - concerned about excess skin..Help please? Okay well im 16 years old and im 301lbs. Im 6'1 and my Body fat percentage is 39%. I dont care how much weight I lose aslong as i can look myself in the mirror and like what i see. Im guessing id want to be around 225-230. My dad has now bought salads, spinach, carrots, celery, green peppers etc. So for Lunch and dinner i have a big plate of salad which makes me feel full. Ive been doing this for a week now and ive went from 308 to 301. Im really scared because i dont want to lose such a great amount of weight and have all this baggage skin. Im only 16, i want to live a normal teen life! Ive searched online and have found that the only way is to get surgery if you have baggage skin. Isnt there another way i can route around this? I know that people say strength training is good, but its only to fill in the lost fat and theres no way i can replace my fat with muscle. Are there really any other ways to tighten skin? Its like id feel better being extremely fat than having all that loose ugly skin on my body

Answer: At 16 your skin still has a great deal of elasticity. Losing the amount of weight you want to lose should not leave you with saggy skin. Eventually your skin will snap back and you will look fine. You might end up with a few stretch marks, but that's about it, and those fade after a while, too. Congratulations on your weight loss already!!! Good for you! You're going to be fine. :) The drastic loose skin that requires surgery is usually a result of losing hundreds of pounds, and being older. You'll be looking fine in no time. :)

Answer: yeah, i like it

Question: How do you re-unite with an adopted sibling? When my mother was 16 she got pregnant with my oldest brother Robert. She was pretty much forced by my grandmother to place him for adoption, Her grandmother wanted her to have an abortion but her mother is pro-life (as am I) and abortion was not an option. She also could not financially support my mother with a baby so she gave her no choice. She went with the open adoption and of course the parents did not stick to those agreements. By the time my brother was 5 his a-parents were divorced and his a-mother stopped all contact and changed locations and phone numbers. We recieved a call when I was about 12 he was 14 and he wanted to meet us and we spoke on the phone maybe 3 times before his a-mother changed phone numbers again. I am now 19 and he would be around 21. When my mother got pregnant with me she was stable and had a great well paying job as a tattoo artist and felt she would be able to properly care for me. When I was 7 she got pregnant with my younger brother Tyrus. By that time she had lost her job, gotten very badly into drugs and alcohol, could not take care of either one of us. We moved around at least every month living with various "friends" of hers. (whoever had the drugs or whatever she wanted) So she decided on her own this time that placing tyrus for adoption was her only option and would be best for him. Of course this open adoption agreement did not last either and a few years later she also found out that his a-parents got divorced too. She has not had any contact with his parents in maybe 6 years. I am not positive on any details because it is very hard for my mother to talk about and I dont want to bring it up and upset her. My mother has now been clean off of meth and heroin for 9 years, she has not smoked crack in 6 years and has not had a drink in 3 years. She still smokes marijuana and I feel that is best for her because she also has serious mental disabilities and it is the only thing I have seen to work for her. Any perscribed drugs from mental health doctors either made her want to use more serious drugs again or became addicting themselves. They also interfered with her physical health. Sorry for the long detail..I guess I would just like to know if there is anything I can do to locate my brothers and see if they would mind any contact. I just want to know that they are alive and I would love to meet them and build a relationship. I know my oldest brother knows he was adopted and he is over 18 so I was thinking he would have tried to find us if he had any interest. But my youngest brother is only 12 or 13 I am not positive.. and I have no Idea if he was told of his adoption..I remember both his a-parents had dark hair and medium skin and he had very white skin and carrot top hair, so i think that would make him wonder? Main questions.. Would it be wrong of me to try and find and contact them? Would it hurt them emotionally? How and where would I start to try and find them? Should I try contacting my youngest brothers a-parents first to see if they've even told him? I wanted to try to find them before I have my son (if you have read my other question I am placing my son for adoption) But as I am almost 40 weeks along I know it is impossible to find them and establish the relationship to ask the questions that i think only they would be able to answer for me.. Thanks in advance for all help and advice. Also both adoptions took place in the state of Florida..If that helps any? @ 7rin:: I really do appreciate you answering my questions and giving me insight on how your life has turned out because of adoption. I would also like to say that I really am sorry for all you have been through and how you feel, even though Im sure I really have no clue on what you have been through. I think I understand how my daughter will feel as I have felt many times over the years. I have questioned why my mother did not also abandon me to adoption and sometimes have wished that she had. However I have never rather been aborted instead, If I had I would not have the daughter I have now, I would not have had the oppourtunity to provide a loving couple with a child, my child. Yes the years and years of pain would not have happened, yet I feel without those years and without the experiences I have had growing up I would not be who I am today. The couple I have chosen for my son cannot have their own children, I have made sure to meet with them on several occasions and while I know that meeting them and having them tell me about their lives and themselves is not going to let me see the future and how they will raise my son. It has however given me more confidence in my decision, they are both well established in their community with college degrees and each have their own career. I also know none of that makes good parents but it does give them the upper hand over me in my opinion. They will be able to give my son many things I cannot. And I am able to give them something they cannot get themselves. What I do know and can see from all the different opinions on here is that every human being is different. Everyone has diferent outlooks on the situation and everyone has diferent experiences with their own lives. All i can do is hope for the best for my son. That is all I want and I know that no matter what I will always love him and I think that is what counts the most.

Answer: Sorry, but that's what happens when parents abandon their kids to adoption, they may never ever ever be able to see each other ever again. Of course, there's always the other danger - which is that they may meet and fall in love and get married and THEN find out that they're siblings, which has also happened. #1 - DO NOT ABANDON YOUR CHILD! Trust me, your 15 month old daughter will be severely affected by you abandoning the one you're about to drop, not least because she'll then know that children are disposable and can be given away when you decide you don't want them. #2 - http://7rin-on-adoption.dreamwidth.org/tag/searching has links that may help you find your siblings. #3 - Before you actually go ahead and abandon the kid you're about to drop, please read back through a few months worth of resolved questions in here http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/index?sid=2115500138 and then go read through all of the books and links listed at http://7rin-on-adoption.dreamwidth.org/tag/recommended+reading

Question: Recipes for a mother of two who works full time and goes to college full time? I am not looking for a quick two minute recipe, I am looking for new recipes for my family to try. I love spending hours in the kitchen. I always have my boys help out. They love it and they learn as well. My two boys are ages three and almost seven! I even bought them their own kids cooking aprons from Oriental Trading Company! We planted a garden as a family as well! I am trying to come up with hundreds of new recipes! I do not want links or URL addresses to go to some site and read their recipes! I want YOUR favorite recipes including ingredients. You do NOT have to include the nutrition facts, I could care less about that, we all go for walks, excercise, etc... The reason I am asking for so many recipes is because I am trying to construct a monthly meal plan for us. I would love to incorporate new ideas into it! Any recipes that you like would be GREAT!!! Just include the ingredients and how to cook it! Here is one of my favorites, as well as my boy's favorites: Chicken and dumplings! Ingredients: * 2-1/2 to 3 lb. Chicken (whole) * 4 C Water * 2 C Chicken broth * 1 Carrot, roughly chopped * 1 Medium onion, cut into quarters * 1 Stalk of celery, roughly chopped * 1/2 t Salt * 1 C Milk * 1/4 t Freshly ground pepper * . * Dumplings: * 2 C All-purpose flour * 1/2 t Baking soda * 1/2 t Salt * 3 T Shortening * 3/4 C Buttermilk Preparation: Place the chicken in a Dutch oven, and add the water, broth, carrot, onion, celery and salt. Bring to a boil, cover and lower heat. Simmer for 60 to 70 minutes, or until tender and chicken is done. Remove chicken and allow it to cool enough to handle. Remove the carrot, onion and celery pieces from the broth and discard. Reserve the broth. Bone the chicken, discarding all skin and bones, and cut meat into bite-size pieces. Set aside. The Dumplings: Combine the flour, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture is consistency of coarse meal. Add the buttermilk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead 4 or 5 times -- no more. For drop dumplings, pat the dough down to a 1/4-inch thickness, and pinch off 1-1/2-inch pieces. For rolled dumplings, roll the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness, and cut into 3" x 1" strips. Bring the chicken broth to a boil, and stir in the milk and pepper. Correct seasonings, if desired. Drop dumplings, one or two at a time, into the boiling broth and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir from time to time to make sure dumplings do not stick together. Cook dumplings 8 to 10 minutes. Add the boned chicken to the mixture and simmer until heated through. Remove from heat. Makes 4 to 6 servings. Shared by Sandy H. Notes: Dumpling dough is very similar to biscuit dough and, like biscuit dough, the less it is handled, the lighter and more tender the result. Person who replies with the most recipes get ten points! Mark as interesting to get more people to respond please! Thanks a bunch, Kara and kids!

Question: Just for curiosity...I am looking after my guinea pigs the correct way right? Hi, I am just double checking. This is what I do... I have wormed my guinea pigs and have sprays to prevent mites Baths once or twice a month Clean cages everyday Wash cages couple times a month One serving of guinea pig grain and vegies= Carrot,parsley,tomato and celery Let them all meet eachother (2 Boars and 2 females) for a few minutes a week (I am supervising non-stop then) Hold them twice a day each Vet check couple times a year Full body check (skin irratations) once a day Get the vet to trim nails when needed (I am too cautious to do it by myself) and give them lots of care. They have never been sick and are happy and healthy. What I'm asking is do I need to add anything to the list (in a kind way please) or anything Thanks :) (I may think of something and add it to additional details) I usually bath them once a month. But if necessary twice. On busy days, (not a lot) I at least hold them twice a day..But when not of course we hold them much longer and more times than that! :) I give them a variety of fruits and vegies. I don't give them a lot of wet food, and I give them parsley,banana,orange (small serve), melon (small serve) rock+water and much more.

Answer: Hi, it sounds like your are doing a FANTASTIC job of looking after them. All that you are doing is really great for your bubS. The only thing to stop doing is bathing them in the winter time. Unfortunately guinea pigs are extremely susceptible to any respiratory disease and washing them in winter can bring this on. I have four guineas myself (2boars and 2females as well) and i do exactly everything you do (including the constant supervision when i let them meet each other) the only thing is i don't wash them in winter as i am extremely worried one might get sick from the bathing. You can also feed your little ones oranges as well as buk choy, pak choy, spinach (spinach is wonderful for them) and also cucumber. Cucumber is great in summer, fresh out of the fridge. Just don't feed them lettuce or anything bulbous. Anything that grows into a bulb, for example onion, garlic, potatoes and any weeds in the average household garden. You probably already know that though because you are doing such a great job with them already. Good luck in the future your little ones. They have a great owner!!!!!! =)

Question: I bought my boyfriend a Sulcata tortoise, and have now felt that the shell of it's belly is soft is this bad? Our Tortoise Darwin eats a good diet of Romain lettuces, what ever veggies we eat in a day seeing as we are both mostly vegetarian, two types of dry tortoise food that is mixed in with his bedding so he can forage , and made for reptiles fruit that I have bought at pet smart. He only gets fruit maybe once a week though as we were told its not the best for him. Mostly its carrots, green beans, bell peppers, broccoli and things like that to go with his Romain as that is what the person we purchased him from said to feed him. He is still relatively small, his shell is about 7 inches. We got him at just about 4 inches in December. We have both a night heat bulb and a basking bulb that we have replaced twice, we have given him what is called a turtle bone for extra calcium and such. We also have a shell care cream for dry skin that we put on him once a week. When we picked him up yesterday to give him a soak my bf noticed that when he touched Darwin's shell that it moved slightly and felt soft. I have been trying to find weather or not this is ok and getting mixed information. Some say because he is a growing hatchling that his shell with be springy and others say any softness at all is bad. Darwin hasn't changed anything recently he still roams around his cage to find things to eat plays in the sun, hides under his different sleeping places, moves his things around, and such. He has always paced the perimeter of his tortoise box it is about 2.5 feet by 4 feet by 8 inches deep so I feel he has plenty of room to roam. He never has eaten a lot of his dry food but we still keep it there for him when and if he wants it. We use rabbit pellets as a bedding and change it once a week. The box temp. ranges from 82 degrees to about 71 during the day and 75 to 70 during the night . He has both a log and a stone house to hid in if he wants to get away from the light, and small stone dishes for food. We bought him a fountain but read it was bad to keep water in the box with him. I still put a water dish in there with him in the morning with just enough water to drink because I don't want him to be thirsty. Is there something we are doing wrong? Is he sick if so what do we do to make him happy and healthy again? We have heat and sun lights for the tortoise because we live in mi and we still have snow on the ground so there is no way we can take him outside yet. We have a basking bulb and such are these not the right ones?

Answer: hello i do rescue and rehab and currently house several sulcatas, i can email you the link to my site 19 almost 20 yrs ive doe this. I am going to help you make some corrections. First Id Loose the rabbit pellet for substrate it houses bacteria when it gets wet and it will get wet. Then he is on a moist area that conatins humidity and this can cause shell rot. soakinghim is efficent for water intake. i know as people we want ot make sure they have what they need and a soak every other day or two is fine,. adding water to the area will increase the humidity and cause what youre seeing. now, to help the situation, no water falls, no water dishes. id use indoor/out door carpet it can be easily washed off no mold, etc. safe for them and I use it on 26 of mine. you need to make the changes asap before he gets full exposure to shell rot and then youre facing serious vet bills. as someone who has done rescue for so long, i get frustrated about not be able to help people more often.they usually drop off the turtle or tortoise and never hear from them again email if i can help more
