Question: what about progesterone cream to help with 50 y.o. woman's libido? This is part of the previous "50 y.o. woman's arousal" question with more information. I've done enough research to ask this credible question. I have a loving, attentive, sexually capable man. I am healthy in mind, body and spirit. I am sure it has to do with my age and hormone changes. I do not take any meds, eat/sleep well, walk 2 miles a day, do not smoke. Don't have any of the obvious negatives. So, has anyone used progesterone cream? I took dmae for 3 months, was told it converts to testosterone in women, but did not notice any changes. Thanks for your suggestions.
Answer: I am only 29 years old, but I have suffered from a few illnesses that totally SCREWED up my libido. (In fact, its still screwed up). I tried the progesterone cream about 4 years ago. I did not have any "good" results from it. I had NO side effects though either. I think you should go to the Dr and ask them about it, it wont hurt to try. I applied it 3 times a day. But I think that the reason it didn't help me was I was having issues with my Estrogen and the Prog. messed me up more.
Question: How do i get rid of acne scars, melasma, black blemishes on my face? I've had melasma on my cheekbones for a few years and acne scars come once in a while. Without makeup, i dont feel my skin is beautiful because i used to go out without sunscreen. I didnt know that you shouldnt go in the sun after using products with aha & other skin lightening agents in them but that was then, now i know. I've discovered some natural products that i've heard are greatcalled 'Shea Butter' and another is Pure Aloe vera from leaves. Also vitamin c - ester c cream, alpha lipoic acid cream & DMAE cream are said to work miracles on troubled skin. Google these and i think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I'll let you know how it goes and how long it took me to see results when next i log in. Please if you know any other better creams or natural products than the ones i mentioned let me know. Good luck on your journey to skin success and wish me luck too. bye
Answer: I have the same problem...I've had acne but when the spots go but leave red marks on my face for sometimes weeks - and the places I've had a lot of spots in the past look discoloured and darker than the rest.
I use clean and clear or neutrogena clear skin - both contain salicylic acid which prevents breakouts and gradually evens the skin tone out too.
Another suggestion is the scrub you can get called 'resurface' from L'oreal. You only use it a couple of times a week (and use at night because it makes your face red!). It really works not just with the colouring but also the texture - smoothes it back out.
And my final suggestion is 'sheer cover' mineral foundation. You see it on infomercials a lot...tacky I know! But it really works. You can buy it on eBay too so it's easy for you to get some to try it out. You use the tiniest amount but because it doesn't settle into enlarged pores and it contains minerals that reflect light, it disguises any kind of 'scarring' and also it stops you getting spots because it doesn't block pores. The minerals in it reflect light a bit too which acts as a kind of concealer. It's hard to explain but it's fantastic. Just make sure not to use too much - and apply with a kabuki brush starting from the outside and working in so you don't end up with an over made up nose!
Hope this helps sweetie - good luck XX
Question: acne inflammation just on nose.. need help w/ the redness!!? Hi im currently 21 and have had mild acne since i was 14 or so. It mainly stayed around my mouth, chin, or forehead and basically went away when i was 19 or so. I was just using a mild soap and a moisturizer. Then about a year ago i started getting acne on my nose. This acne has caused my nose to become incredibly red which really stands out on my pale skin. The pimples on my nose aren't that bad at all but basically my whole nose is really red. I've been using salic acid cleanser but that has been really drying and hasn't helped over the last 6 months. I've been using differin cream to spot treat the pimples but even when there aren't any pimples there is still redness. So im thinking of changing my cleanser to a benzol peroxide 2.5% to see if it helps. Ive also been looking at anti inflammation diet and products with DMAE and Alpha lipoic acid(which supposedly help w/ redness).
So im wondering if anyone has experience with these products or has had luck with treating redness. Thanks
Answer: â–º benzoyl peroxide reduces the redness but it makes your pimple dark. and it will peel off
