Help for horror-story spa visit!
By: MoneyPenny | 19-11-2007
About a month ago I got a "facial" from a local spa and was surprised at the outcome. The woman was very rough on my skin, I think I had an allergic reaction to the cremes (or whatever she used) on my skin and the "extracting" device was the worst experience I have EVER HAD in my lifetime. My face is still red, it is completely broken out and it feels itchy and "sore underneath". I have no medical to go to a Dermotologist but know that this is serious...this is the first time I have ever had such terrible skin in my life and need some help...quickly! I have used Aloe Vera to sooth the skin, benzoyl perioxide (which hurts)to clear the pimples, a clay mask, and a heated soothing mask...nothing works. Can you please suggest something. I have gone crazy looking at my skin and am saddened because it is very damaged, I think.

By: Jackyp | 19-11-2007
Ever since the weather began to get colder my skin has gotten very dry and I have developed some dry scabs on my scalp that get itchy and cause dandruff. This has never happened to me in the past and I am not sure what to do. I tried conditioning my scalp with oil but it just made my hairline break out with acne. I know it must have something to do with the weather but should I be worried that it is something more serious? Are there any possible treatments that I should look into?
