If you wash your face 10 to 15 times a day with hot water and a rag can it actually make you have more zits?

Answer

It could. You would be doing a number on the skin of your face and that is always asking for trouble. Pimples are caused by bacteria trapped in your pores. So, some soap and water is good; it kills bacteria. But, your skin is always home to tons as bacteria, even if you have just stepped out of the shower. If your soap is to harsh or you scrub too often you will damage and dry out your skin. This causes it to flake off (even if it is only microscopically) and those flake can cause more bloackage and hence, more pimples. Try using a liquid soap and warm water and when your face feels clean and you have removed any excess oil be sure to add a *light* layer of a light lotion. Just to keep the skin moist enough not to flake off. If you aren't able to get it under control that way you may need to get medicated cream or antibiotic from a dermatologist. Pimples are very common in teens, women who are pregnant/nursing and somewhat in women going through menopause. Any time your hormones are acting up it can cause some minor health issues like that. Don't let it ruin your day. Hope this helps!

How do you clean your face?

EVERY NIGHT I do not go to sleep unless I have washed my face with cold (not too cold) water and cloriphill. The kind of skin type you have is essential to the kind of face cleanser you use. I advice not to use roughness or extreme temperature on face. 2.

You will need:
* Wash basin * Flannel * Face Wash (one which is good for you, I use Johnson's 3 in 1) * A moisturiser (how ever you spell it .. lolio) Step 1:
Wash your face with warm water and then apply a small amount of face wash liquid onto you fingers and apply to the face in circular motions (Make sure you rub it in around your hairline and on your jaw line). The cream should go bubbly :)


Step 2:
Wash the facial wash off with warm water again and then wash your face with cold water to close your pores.


Step 3:
Dab your face with a flannel to dry your face.


Step 4:
Moisturise you face


Step 5:
Admire you beautiful skin x

Why do girls suddenly have acne breakouts?

Usually, when a girl comes to the age of 10, they start to grow pimples. If your lucky, you won't get any pimples from ages 10-11. At 12, the pimples start to grow in. The most common places for pimples to grow is your checks, nose, and forehead. Sometimes they only grow in one place, two places, or all over, and trust me, all over is not good, I'm not saying you're sick or anything, it's just that you won't look so good. When they do grow in, use lots of pimple cream or you can pop them by using your left index finger and your right. Use your nails. Be careful not to cut yourself while you're popping them, especially if you have long nails. If your nails are long and sharp, you might wanna stick to the pimple cream. I'm not a skin doctor, but these things work for me.

Hope I helped!

How can you keep your skin from getting oily when you go to school?

If your face gets oily sometimes that is just a normal reaction that your skin has and you have to take measures to take the oil off your face while in school, so it does not remain so for the whole day.

If your skin does gets oily while you are out of your home, you can always use the oil removing sheets that they sell at CVS or any other generic store. Usually they are very cheap and you can remove the oil from your face. You can also use normal tissue paper or napkins but they might be harsher on your face.

How can you get rid of pimples or abscesses on your vulva?

Pimples can be eliminated on the outer vulva by use of a mild salicylic acid acne wash (safest would be a 0.5% Salicylic Acid wash. If the pimples do not decrease, buy a different acne wash with a higher concentrate)

Abscesses are pockets of bacteria that will exude a large amount of foul-smelling pus. You should see a doctor if you suspect you have abscesses on your vulva, as they may indicate complications from an STD such as gonorrhea.

What causes hot water to decrease while taking a shower?

What is the best way to pop the cork on a champaign bottle?

The safest (controlling the cork) way I have found is to wrap the cork with the index finger and thumb of your dominant hand and rotate the bottle away from the cork with your other hand. You still get the satisfying pop and the cork will stay in your strong hand.

I think the safest way to uncork a bottle is to Place a dish towel over the bottle, firmly grasping the bottom part plus holding the bottle firmly. Slowly turn out the cork, and if it does 'fly' out of your hand it will get lodged in the centre of the towel, and not flying across the room knocking over the urn of your Grandparents sitting on the mantle. Hope this helps

I have heard to turn the bottle and not the cork. let gravity be your friend.
