Which S'pore mobile subscriber has the lowest ougoing IDD to ASEAN countries~SingTel, M1, or StarHub?

Peak and/or off-peak periods|||Star hub is having the best coverage area in the singapore. so i think you should go for it. Despite the price of the IDD calls because the Starhub gives off price too to certain IDD countries

Who is from Indonesia and stay in S'pore for study?

Where is better? Indo or here?|||It depends on what you%26#039;re studying, doesn%26#039;t it? For instance, Indo is good in things such as engineering and such, but it loses to Singapore when it comes to Medical things... But it is for sure awesome in agriculture! So, yeah, it really depends... I hope this helped! Good luck!

Are Biore Pore Strips Any Good?

I want to try them for my oily nose. Do they work, and how long for results?|||I used the biore pore strips and they were really good for blackheads but not so good for oily skin-they don%26#039;t make a different to that!!


They are quite expensive thought considering you only get 6 in a pack-only use them once a month!|||Yes, Biore Pore Strips are pretty good. My mom swears by them, but I don%26#039;t get blackheads or whiteheads. But, I have a friend here with me who is making me tell everyone to please help answer her question that I entered, she has a big whitehead and doesn%26#039;t know how to get rid of it!!!|||No, they%26#039;re not. They%26#039;re painful and rip your skin off. Don%26#039;t buy %26#039;em. They%26#039;re also really drying and leave your skin red...it almost looks like you%26#039;ve been sunburned! Not pretty.|||ins. ive never tried them. i would just try if i were u. wht do u have 2 lose? good luck





LIVE THE SOCAL LIFE|||I%26#039;ve tried loads of different pore strips and found them all to be complete crap. Just my experience though.

Majority of the Islamic Countries will be meeting in S%26#039;pore in 2009 and S%26#039;pore already made an invitation for him to come to the UN Model City of the World. Why not confirm it NOW?|||The only worry is... i%26#039;m afraid terrorist might take this opportunity to blast Spore this time|||Uhhmmm...you and your wild imaginations are at it again...leave the politics to the politicos as the saying goes and for heaven%26#039;s sake, mind your own business...

Anyone knows of any 'work fr hme jobs' that u've tried n dnt involve in payin upfront in S'pore?

There is a 100% FREE listing of REAL telecommuting companies that are hiring at http://babymommahustle.blogspot.com





These are popular work at home companies that are hiring. Don%26#039;t get them confused with those other work at home scams. You DO NOT need to pay these companies to work for them.





IF YOU HAVE TO PAY TO APPLY OR TO OBTAIN WORK THEN IT%26#039;S NOT LEGIT!





I got my info from this site. I have only worked for Alpine Access as a CSR and I love it. I can set my own hours, I can take vacations whenever I want (unpaid of course), and I can tend to my kids responsibly. One of the reasons I opted for a work from home job was so I could spend more time with my kids. I don%26#039;t have to pay for gas to go back and forth to work, I don%26#039;t have to put up with the attitudes and superiority complexes at traditional jobs, I get paid through direct deposit, I get to go to my kids extracurricular activities without losing money, and my car insurance is so very low. The only downside is we don%26#039;t have medical insurance through the company...yet. But if I stay with them long enough I will.





Now before you apply know this; IT IS A REAL JOB. You are expected to be professional. You are expected to work the hours you say you%26#039;re going to work and you must be on time. Just because it%26#039;s a work at home job doesn%26#039;t mean there%26#039;s less expected from you. Also, at least 90% of these jobs require a professional sounding voice. No offense, but if you can%26#039;t pronounce your words, the Customer Service jobs may not be for you. I%26#039;m not trying to be funny, but these companies look for the most professional sounding people to represent their companies.





Some jobs do have required equipment you must have to be able to perform your job effectively. Some require specific headsets, internet connections, and experience for example. But don%26#039;t let that stop you from applying. If certain things are required you can get them from eBay, Staples, etc.

You have seen & heard of S'pore's development implementation and what faults & setback spotted by you? Say it?

Point out those that you think are not right and need to be corrected for improvement and as a learning lesson for future changes. We need to keep on changing and not to be like US when it is a bit too late.|||I%26#039;m afraid if I tell the truth, they will locked me up on Sister%26#039;s Island!

Did you know that the hexagonal-pored polypore mushroom produces the antifungal polypeptide alveolarin?

honey lemon and egg white, mix it all together and put on your face and let it dry then wash with warm water and pat dry also don%26#039;t talk while the mask is on. It Works really good for me.|||I%26#039;m not sure of any %26quot;homemade%26quot; masks, Im always too scared too try them because everything makes me break out, but for what it%26#039;s worth Biore just came out with a new %26quot;clay%26quot; like mask that really works and cleans your pores. It also makes your skin feel really soft and didn%26#039;t break me out, You get about 6-8 masks for $7. I%26#039;ve tried everything even expensive masks from Sephora.. So far Biore is the only one I%26#039;ve seen results from!!!|||sugar, limon, adn a lothle of water its a good convination. you just mix it. Then wait a little and its like a cream, then you just wash your face with no-so-hot water. Your face wilkl be smooth.|||My mom used cucumber peels.|||toothpaste works

1. Raffles Institute


2. Hwa Chong Institute / Nanyang High


3. Dunman High


4. River Valley High

Should I try blackhead pore strips?

I dont%26#039; have that many blackheads, but i%26#039;m curious if they work decent. I%26#039;m hoping that they work and don%26#039;t care irritation and pimples, blackheads are better then pimples. Also could I use them on my chin?|||You can find blackheads on your nose, chin or forehead. Removing a blackhead is a difficult task and its frustrating.Given below are a few tips to remove blackheads:·





Do not use harsh soaps or lotions, which could the face oily.





Use cleansers and try to keep the skin less oily.





Try to keep the dead cells away from the skin, by cleaning your face.





Do not squeeze the blackheads. Too much squeezing could damage the skin and make the pores large.





Applying warm water on the face and gently putting pressure with a little cotton could clear the clogs.





You can use “blackhead strips” which are available in the markets. These strips only remove the upper portion on the blackheads and not its root.|||blackhead strips aren%26#039;t good for pimples.....just blackheads.


Biore does work but does irritate your skin.





Exfoliation is the best defense against pimples...just make sure to moisturize afterwards. Dry skin makes pimples/acne worse.|||pore strips suck. the best thing to use is proactiv or if you dont wanna pay that much try l%26#039;oreal acne response. its like a 3 step deal but it works awesome.|||No, they suck and they irritate your skin.|||They don%26#039;t work so great. Sorry|||Yeah I always wondered about this.... Thanks for the answers.|||I recommend getting a facial if you can, then have someone else dig out the blackheads, it works everytime. As far as the pore strips, they only work partially. I guess partial is better than nothing, but if you really want to attack the blackheads, a licensed esthetician will do the trick every time.|||Sounds sick to me why bring personal to the worle wash your face with soap and warm water keep personal at home.|||i have used them and they did not work. they were a waste of money. i think that they make them in strips that go on your chin, but i am not sure . it has been a while, but i do remember that they didn%26#039;t work.|||No, because they really don%26#039;t work. Your better off trying a scrub or cleanser that you can use everyday spacifically to fight blackheads.|||yes


I have tried them


good luck|||i%26#039;ve tried some of that but its not effective..........|||depends on the ones you use.. some don%26#039;t work AT ALL(you bascially have to pull your nose off)lol but some of them are good...|||Yes you can, but they hurt me really bad when I used them. I tried proactiv about a year ago %26amp; my biggest reason was for blackheads. Honestly. They were the first things that it helped. Just try it. Good luck.|||Blackhead expresser.


Works every time.|||no|||no dont use it everywhere|||If you want to use them on ur chin, try getting Biore combo pack pore strips. it has nose strips and strips u can use on ur forehead and chin. also, it%26#039;s a good idea cause even if u dont%26#039; have that many blackheads, they can help prevent them, and over time reduce pore size. i have found that they work pretty well w/out causing irritation.|||Yes. Try them.

Is witch clear pore gel and witch hydrated loction good protucts?

i had quite bad acne spots on my chin,now iv used them products its now gone dwn a little but a new one poped up,oh and im using clean and clear oil free wash!|||Witch hazel products are astringents which close the pores - they will work well at cleaning the skin thoroughly! I used to like clean and clear - its a good choice of products - hope it works for you!|||excellent. Also the tea tree range is very good for spots especially if its, like you say, bad acne.

Should S鈥檖ore allow more migration? Why? Do we get a choice?

I am working on my essay about the impact of foreigners entering Singapore to work, etc , and would like to have your views. Please cooperate with me! :) Thanks so much :)|||Face the facts. Singaporean have no choice in this subject. We now have foreign born athletes, foreign born CEO in a Government Investment Company and foreign born Ministers.


So, what is the impact? To me is, if you can%26#039;t hack it as a Singaporean, better start looking for a new country.


Singapore have one of the best education system in place, world standard university and polytechnics, but when the students graduated, they still have to compete with foreigners who has a degree from a %26quot;questionable%26quot; university.


Therefore, if you are still in school, study hard and get a degree, otherwise, you be looking for a new country.|||Having lived %26amp; worked in S%26#039;pore for a number of years, I can assure you that S%26#039;pore needs to seriously limit immigration. S%26#039;pore is a tiny island with about 4 million people. It is grossly overcrowded and overpopulated. It has already allowed in too many people. Population has nearly doubled in the past 20 years or so.





It has to import all of its food (all its little farms are long gone), so it must export a great deal to earn enough foreign exchange to pay for all those imports.|||I have notice those non professional from foreign countries become citizen here. Most job taken over by these new immigrates whom willing to accept super low pay.


My point of view is gov. can accept new immigrates with selective criteria only.


Poor Sg citizen, they have no choice coz the gov. says so. Remember, more population means more taxes to collect, so who cares you are living in a sardine can.|||haha! singapore will be raped by immigrants soon. theyre gonna get their a-s-s kick out of their own land!

Do Biore pore strips really work?

I have a lot of suuper tiny blackheads on and around my nose..and I want to use biore pore strips b/c i heard they really work. I already use the oil free acne wash by neutrogena, but does it work??





%26amp;how much does it cost?|||they did for me, as long as you pull them off slowly. it didn%26#039;t take out a whole lot of black heads, but i got out more than i would have without a pore strip :P|||costs about 6 dollars....get it at walmart. they dont remove completely but its better than nothing=)...

What places, beside your nose can you use pore strips?

anywhere you have large cloged pores, like your forehead, chin, cheeks, arms, maybe your back if you can reach it, or have someone do it for you lol.... but its mostly for anywhere on your face|||I have used them on my forehead and chin. But be really careful. Forehead, chin, cheeks...anywhere close to the eyes...that skin is MUCH more thin and delicate than the nose. If you leave the strip on too long or pull it off without care....you could really tear your skin up. Then you%26#039;ll have a much worse problem than a few blackheads. OUCH.





Remember....after you take the strips off.....use a good astringent to close the pores. Then, use a moisturizer (men and women) on your face. They make them that will also clear your skin.|||forehead, chin, maybe cheeks|||your chin and your forehead

Neutrogena pore refining toner?

I just bought the product but I heard that this can cause drying. After I use the toner should I use some moisturizer afterwards? Also has anyone tried this product? Does it work?|||Yep, bought that and tried it. It didn%26#039;t work to shrink or %26quot;refine%26quot; the pores on my T-zone. Instead, it made my skin tight and dry. I still had blackheads and whiteheads, the pores still look the same size. It was a waste of $. Then I researched some dermatology textbooks (the medical school level kind) and this is my discovery:





1. Regardless of what the package label claims, there is no product available on the planet that can %26quot;shrink pores,%26quot; as pore size is strictly genetic predisposition.


2. What makes those pores appear bigger are the blackheads and whiteheads, the trapped oil inside the pores.


3. Therefore, what you should target is keeping those pores as clear as possible. This is the ONLY way to make them %26quot;appear%26quot; smaller.





CHANGE YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE


1. Get a gentle facial cleanser that is capable of removing EVERYTHING without drying your skin, such as Neutrogena%26#039;s Gentle Cleanser ($5.94 per bottle) or One Step Gentle Cleanser (1 step in removing eye and face makeup), both of these are alcohol free, with enough emollients to retain your skin moisture. Walmart now carries the One Step Gentle Cleanser ($6.23 per bottle), too, but they place it in the Neutrogena%26#039;s Makeup section, next to the eye makeup remover. Target prices are slightly cheaper than Walmart, with the One-Step to be available for less than $6.


2. SKIP the toner, as an effective facial cleanser should be able to remove everything in one wash. The extra step of using a toner actually does nothing more than wasting your money.


3. EXFOLIATE with BHA (namely Beta Hydroxy Acid or Salicylic Acid) your face 2-3 times a week for acne prone skin, as BHA is capable of sloughing off dead skin cells inside the pores. AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Glycolic Acid, or Lactic Acid, just to name a few) works better for sun-damaged skin. BHA is effective in concentration between 1%-2%, with a pH balance of 3. AHA works best in 5%-8% concentration, with a pH balance of 3 to 4. Any higher % and/or lower pH balance number decreases the effectiveness of both AHA and BHA. These chemical exfoliants work better than manual %26quot;scrubs%26quot; because those scrubs don%26#039;t exfoliate as deep. The cheapest, most effective exfoliants I have used are Paula%26#039;s Choice (available at www.cosmeticscop.com).


4. Give yourself a facial once a week. Steam your face under a towel for 10-15 minutes to open up all those pores, and most of your blackheads and whiteheads should surface. Then use a clay mask to squeeze those pores a bit more.


5. Follow with Biore Strips. After the pores are all opened, they work to pull everything out. Afterwards, your pores will feel soooo clean and opened (empty holes) that your skin feels ticklish. It%26#039;s a refreshing feeling.


6. Throughout the week, use a topical disinfectant cream, either 5% or 10% Benzoyl Peroxide (brand name Clearasil, but Persa Gel and Walmart%26#039;s generic Equate brands are much cheaper) on your T-zone. Apply 1-2 times a day; any more than that, it will be too harsh on your skin. If your skin is as sensitive as mine, just use it once a day. This will help lower the occurence of large-looking pores.


7. With moisturizers, use it sparingly. Don%26#039;t overdo it, especially on the T-zone, or else it will trap the oils even more. Besides, if you keep up with the exfoliation, you should not need much moisturizing anyway, because the cleared out pores will absorb the moisturizers more effectively.|||some people (and dermo%26#039;s) swear by toners but a lot of dermotologist suggest that all you really need is a good cleanser and moisturizer because toners take out all the excess oil while cleansers have the perfect balance of oil so that when it removes it, it can also return some without making skin oily, or dry. I%26#039;d just stick with the cleansers to eliminate risk of having flaky skin

Where can i buy biore pore strips?

When the early Chinese immigrants first arrived in Southeast Asia in the 15th century,they brought along their Taoist gods and deities to these lands.They also realized that to ensure security %26amp; prosperity in this foreign land of strange gods %26amp; unknown religions,they have to enlist the help of the local gods.“In Rome, do as the Romans do”.And so they began worshipping the local gods alongside their own from China.





The Southeast Asia they arrived in was one of polytheistic religions.The earlier Indian traders brought Hinduism %26amp; Buddhism,which combined with the local animistic beliefs. Although Islam,the monotheistic religion,first arrived in the 700’s from the Middle East,it did not spread fast until a series of jihads in Java as well as through trade in the 15th century.





Even then, the inhabitants of the Southeast Asian islands %26amp; Malay Peninsula retained many of their original animistic %26amp; Hindu beliefs.The Chinese immigrants began to worship local pre-Islamic holy men, commonly called Datuk or Dato, meaning “chief” or “lord” in the Malay language,which soon became known as “Natoh” (or “Nadu” in standard Mandarin). The suffix “gong” which means “lord” in Chinese was added to “Nadu” %26amp; hence “Nadugong”,the amazing Chinese-Malay deity which is found only in Singapore,Malaysia %26amp; parts of Indonesia.





In local Chinese religious iconology,the Nadugong is commonly represented by a Malay man dressed in traditional yellow silky Malay shirt and sarong,wearing a formal songkok (hat).Kris (Malay sword) %26amp; other traditional Malay court regalia %26amp; ceremonial objects would also be placed on the altar.Another derivation of Na Tuk Kong is that they belong to the gods of Teh Choo Kong (Tu Di Kong) which originated from China.

Whats a good face wash for blackheads and pore reduction?

i dont have acne, but i do have a lot of black heads, mainly around my nose. ive already got the biore nose strips on my shopping list for tomorrow, so dont suggest those. :)





kthankksssbye. :D|||I%26#039;ve been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it%26#039;s at.





I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.





I%26#039;m 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.





Literally the best acne face wash I%26#039;ve ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It%26#039;s unique cause of it%26#039;s herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem dot com at the time which was helpful.





You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn%26#039;t work it will still save you butt on the return policy.





Well good luck and best wishes.

Atleast, not to my knowledge.

In what order: Deep cleanser, Toner, and Pore Refining Scrub?

All from Burts Bees. The Deep cleanser is %26quot;Soap Bark and Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream. The Toner is Rosewater and Glycerin Toner. And the Refining Scrub is Natural Acne Solutions: Pore Refining Scrub. I actually also have a clay mask, and the Neutrogena Wave. The Wave removes dead skin cells. In what order do I use these for clear skin that lasts????|||scrub, cleanser then toner on a regular basis


then if your feeling lazy, only use the wave then toner


or if you feel like beig super migh maintenance throw in the mask first, then do your typical routine|||first would be the face cleanser ,toner,face moisturizer.


Remember to use pore scrub just 2 a week no more than that it can dry out you skin. the face mask is only to used 1a week clay mask absorbs oil so don%26#039;t do it more that than it also can dry out your skin.


I don%26#039;t know how many years you have but is too much stuff for your young face you don%26#039;t need all that to have good skin I would skip the toner %26amp; the neutrogena wave.|||I%26#039;d say deep cleanser, pore refining scrub, then toner.


You always cleanse the face first, then apply toner to your damp face. Just towel dry after you wash your face but it%26#039;s better if it%26#039;s still a little damp when you apply the toner. Allow the toner to dry on your face completely, then what follows the toner would be something like moisturizer and/or sunscreen.|||always the scrub first, it gets rid of all dead skin and build up! its great.





now the deep cleanser, since all the bad stuff is gone this will sooth skin.





last is the toner to clean your now fantastic skin!





also use the mask once every one to two weeks for best results, and the wave every two to three days to help with the build up and freshness. LUCK!|||Okay. i used to hav acne and just recently cleared it up using derma. cleaser. The order is deep clean, then refine your pores and then tone to minimize pores so that they stay clean.|||i would do

There%26#039;s a few more suggestions over here (read through the posts) http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php鈥?/a>

Does estee lauder's "idealist pore minimizing skin refinsher" really work?should i buy it?

Minimizing pores is one of the hardest things to do, and is darn near impossible. Many times the things that do help to reduce their size can be a bit uncomfortable to the skin. Here is some advise to try and help. If you are having enlarged pores then it is time to examine your routine. Are you using a cleanser twice a day? You should. Do you have a toner? Even and inexpensive toner helps to ensure the skin is free from damaging oils and buildup of product which can increase pore diameter. Are you moisturizing twice a day with appropriate moisturizers? I say moisturizers because many times the cream you use for day may be very different than the one for night. For people with enlarged pores many times using a moisturizer made to refine pores helps. Look for ingredients like glycolic acid or salysilic acid, but only use a cream with these ingredients at night as it increases sun sensitivity. Are you drinking lots of water? Hydrating your body helps purge the skin of impurities and toxins. It also gives you body the hydration it needs to take care of daily processes that help refine the skin surface. Are you exfoliating at least once a week with a light granuled scrub? You should be. This is important to help keep the pores clean and the skin free of dry patches.


You can try a product that claims to refine pores. Many times they do help, but if you find that after using the product for a month that you haven%26#039;t seen any results then take it back and try somethng different. I like Estee Lauder brands, they have a high quality product and use good formulations. It could be worth a try.


I personally use Bare Escentuals Rare Minerals night treatment after my regular skin care regimen. This product is supposd to refine the skin in general, but one of it%26#039;s claims is that it reduces pore diameter. I personally feel it does work. I say try things and take them back if you aren%26#039;t seeing results. These products are expensive and should do what they claim if used properly.


If you still are finding you are having a problem, or you have really large pores then it might be a good idea to talk to a dermtologist about what can be done cosmetically to help. They might recommend some procedures and products that in combination can totally refine your skin. Good luck!|||I have tried some estee lauders cosmetics, and really none of anything from Estee Lauder works for me.So really, don%26#039;t bother.|||I%26#039;m having luck in that area with plain old baking soda|||no! load a c---p|||Clinique%26#039;s works, so Estee Lauder%26#039;s prolly does too, but the results are temporary.

Before the big bang, how did the pore-sized-universe get here?

I mean what made that?|||There was no %26quot;before%26quot; the Big Bang. The universe didn%26#039;t %26quot;get here%26quot;. It%26#039;s always been here.








Addendum: The universe began as a singularity. Because time and space are not quantized, that singularity can be viewed as a phenomenon of zero size and duration that acted as the First Cause, the origin point of the temporal metric.

the bubble was said to be filled with energy that came from containers of dimensions colliding with other called branes.

(it probably wasn%26#039;t ALWAYS here. we can see the universe expands. that means it had to start from something small and grow into something big.

How do u make ur pore holes smaller?

how?|||Pore refining toner. By Neutrogena.|||1) Steam clean- fill a bowl with near boiling water and hold your face about 20cm from top of bowl for about 10 mins (this will open up your pores so you can clear them easier)





2) Get a blackhead remover and squeeze out any excess dirt that is blocking your pores and making them bigger and more noticeable





3) Wipe a good quality toner all over your face (this will help shrink the now clean pores back and reduce redness-DON%26#039;T wear make up for atleast 4-5 hours, wait a whole day if you can)





4) Do a weekly or fortnightly face mask, something that has tea tree oil in it is great.





Basically, if your pores are cleaned out, they should look %26#039;normal%26#039;, and keeping up a regime will only help it over time. Seeing a dermatologist will also help. Good Luck!


|||I use to suffer from huge pores, they don%26#039;t completely go away, but then its not as noticeable as before no more. Exfoliate your skin, wash your face day and night, use skincare that claims to make your pore smaller, it works a bit and if you see no progress work with the next one. Neutrogena pore refiner works really well for me. Microdermabrasion works really well for me. Also use skin tightening toner. |||ok my pores was huge but now it completly gone i used to mix rose water with starch ( it is product look like Flour i don%26#039;t know if you kave it ) or just use rose water before you sleep and wash it in the morning and you can use lemon juice but not for long time just for 10 min good luck|||To put it simply...You cant get them smaller.


There are products on the market that claim to, but if you have large pores they will be large forever.

Can I use Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask on makeup?

Which is better, photo facial, microderm or peels -- for sking resurfacing, pore size etc?

I asked a question before but i didnt include photo facials (laser) -- theyre pricey! what do you folks think?|||They are all great treatments, but it really depends on what results you are looking for.

As you know enlarged pores are caused from excess oil production which can cause a variety of issues. The most menacing of which is enlarged pores and blackheads. Blackheads are caused by a build up of hardened oil that close pores, expanding their size. Proper cleansing can make blackheads disappear and help pores to become smaller.

Exfoliator - You can use any of these with olive oil instead of water if your skin is dry or flaky:


*Baking soda, mixed with your favorite facial cleaner. Soaps and creams both work well. Use about a half teaspoon of baking soda in the palm of your hand, then mix the facial cleaner into it. Gently scrub your face with this mixture, then rinse off. For creams that you%26#039;re supposed to remove with tissue, tissue the mixture off, then follow with a warm water rinse.


*Corn meal makes a gentle and extremely frugal exfoliator for your face or all over. Mix it with just enough water to make a paste for your face, then wash with it. For your body, make a suds on a washcloth or sponge, then sprinkle corn meal over that and wash.


*Salt is harsher but quite frugal for this, so use it sparingly, but use it fast, as it dissolves quickly in water.


*Sugar is also used as an exfoliator and does a wonderful job. Again, use it quickly to prevent it from dissolving before you%26#039;re finished.





Masks - Use oatmeal (instant or quick cooking), blended to a powdered state, then mixed with just a little water and any of these:


*vinegar or lemon juice, pureed cucumber or strawberries to help lighten and even skin tone


*milk to soothe and smooth


*egg yolk to tighten and cleanse pores and soothe dry skin


*milk of magnesia to absorb excess oil


*honey to help acne|||To exfoliate take some lotion %26amp; add table sugar. It works great %26amp; its cheaper than buying it.|||As a beauty consultant for Mary Kay cosmetics, I recommend for you; Timewise 3-N-1 Cleanser.

Why do you women wear makeup when it just accentuates every pore and wrinkle on your face?

that%26#039;s only if they wear like a powder/liquid base or cover up... and they use bases to even out there skin tone on their face... personally I only use eyeliner and that%26#039;s it, unless I have a zit, then I use cover up|||what court said|||many dont do it right :) ....sad but true!!|||does it really??? haha.|||cuz either the stupid young girls think it improves their complexion, or the older ones haven%26#039;t learned yet. less is more.|||This only happens if it is not done right.

1. Buying the wrong type of make-up


2. Incorrectly applying the make-up


3. Applying to much make-up

I have a clogged pore about an inch under my eye. Any suggestions on what to do?

Use a gentle non-drying cleanser twice per day, such as Cetaphil or Ice Elements creme cleanser.





Then also exfoliate 3 times per week. I use Ice Elements 2 minute miracle exfoliation gel. I got hooked on this after ordering a sample for $3 over a year ago, here: http://iceelements.com





Also make sure that you are using a good moisturizer.





Often clogged pores are caused by stressed and/or dry skin. By using gentle non-drying products it will work its way out.





There is a message board at the Ice Elements site and you can log in and speak with Brenda, the on site esthetician for free for other advice and ideas.





Good luck!|||i would see doctor.|||Use a warm washrag and dont pick at it.|||look for a dermatologist. :)|||Thats a tough one because it will really hurt to squeeze in that area.

What kind of face product can i use to make my skin glow and smooth.. and close the pore???

i want my face smooth and shiny clean looking wat product can i use??|||For smooth - use a good facial exfoliator. Clinique I think is one of the best for skincare, but if you dont want to go that expensive I use %26#039;St Ives%26#039; from Switzerland, you can buy it in Oz, and England but I%26#039;m not sure about the US, but use your judgement when it comes to brands that are available to you.





Garnier has a %26#039;pore minimizing%26#039; cream. But is more easy to make pores smaller if they are clean, so use a good cleanser Clinique has a great facial foam wash.. and use pore strips for your nose if they are bad, and maybe a toner if you have oil trouble.





When you use an exfoliator, it takes off the dead skin cells and encourages blood flow to your face giving you a nice healthy glow. Dont be too rough, just gentle motions across your face. Then put on a good moisturiser and your skin should good great!!





The sun and sea is fantastic for the skin, my skin always looks amazing after a trip to the beach or two! and the sand and salt are natural exfolitators!!





good luck!|||Consider using miho white essence and miho beauty pack mask (cream base). You mix it together till the texture smooth like the ice-cream form and apply on the face. Miho marigold lotion helps to close up open pores fast and can even be used together with the beauty pack mask. You will feel the firmness and moisturizing effect once you apply it.|||St. Ive%26#039;s Apricot Scrub|||when i was young, i used a few drop of lemon juice, honey, oatmeal mixture and then cover it to my clean face, twice a week.|||mary-kay velocity is really good|||I don%26#039;t use products I make my facials at home here%26#039;s one i would recommend to you-


MASK. Masks serve multiple purposes in a comprehensive facial: They deep-clean, stimulate circulation, remove dead skin and hydrate. Oily or blemished skin responds well to an application of a paste made of Fuller%26#039;s Earth (clay) and mineral water. Avoid the eye area while applying and let the mask set until nearly dry. Then rinse thoroughly with warm water. To hydrate drier skin, use a mix of 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon honey and a few drops of safflower oil. Or, to get that firm Academy Awards texture (sans botox), apply 2 egg whites to tighten pores, followed by an application of plain yogurt to brighten the complexion.

Then once your pores are open take your fingers and wrap them with some more paper towel (wrap only the fingers you use for zit popping) this will help you get a good hold on it.

Like Biore ones?


Those work for me, I get the ultra ones because I have clogged pores and blackheads that are really deep.


You can try to steam your face, like boil a hot water and when it gets steamy put your face over it for a few seconds and it should open up your pores, you%26#039;ll actually feel your pores opening up and then just use a good scrub and it should get unclogged, but if you tried everything and it doesn%26#039;t work you can go get a facial and they usually clean out your pores (:

I did that once and my nose was really red and swelled up a little.( ouch!) If you leave it on too long it fuses to your skin. If it happens again use a piece of ice which will help with the redness and any swelling. If next time when you go to peel it off,if it is hard to remove.Add a little water(don%26#039;t soak it) to soften it. It will make it easier to remove and you won%26#039;t take any skin off with it.

Try the Biore pore minimizing strips. These have a heat based technique for lifting dirt. They are not very comfortable but do the job.


The key here is not so much the product but your skin care routine. Wash once a day (exfoliate once a week), use a good toner or astringent at night, moisturize and dont pick at blemishes.|||There may be many products out there that would work. The key is to use products with salicylic acid and/or alpha or beta hydroxy acids. These acids keep pores clear and tight and salicylic acid is great for acne. One line I know of is Neutrogena Pore reducing cleanser and toner. I have tried both and they worked well, even just the toner. If you use these and use a light moisturizer afterwards, you should see some difference in pore size, though keep in mind, once pores are stretched, you can%26#039;t really get them back lik before.





The only drawback to using pore refining products as above is they can be a bit harsh on sensitive skin. You can either use only once a day or use a sensitive skin toner (just a regular toner, not one with acids, though they won%26#039;t work quite as well). Or you can use a gentle cleanser like cetaphil, and just use the toner, if you find your skin is irritated.





So, you should try the Neutrogena line, it worked well. The only reason I stopped using it is because I use clinique now.

1. Pore minimizer cream from Clinque (under $20 in IL)(never use the acne soaps and etc from there though - you will break out)


2. Use Aveeno Soap - clears out the pores and prevents future breakouts (under $3 in store in IL)

Why the foreign labour still want to come to M;sia althought our Rm and wages are so low compare to HK,S.pore?

Most of the foreing workers who come to Malaysia are from very poor families. Able to pay the recruitment agencies in their countries to go overseas to work is not within everyone means.





Malaysia might offer lower salaries than Singapore, HK, Korea, Taiwan or even middle east countries but coming to Malaysia is much cheaper than going to the other countries. Only a handful of these foreigner can afford to pay their recruitment fees for employment in Singapore or Hong Kong. A good example is Korea. Korea offers very attractive salary but each foreigner would have to pay 3 to 4 times more recruitment fees than he would if he was to come to Malaysia.





In addition to the above, countries like Singapore , Hong Kong or Korea are very strict as far as recruitment of foreigners is concerned unlike Malaysia where though supposed to be equally strict but due to corruption approvals to bring in foreign workers were easily dished out to those who could afford to pay.Over in Malaysia, with money, an employer can bring in number of foreigners in excess of its requirement and that%26#039;s the reason why many of these workers are roaming all over Malaysia to find jobs illegally.|||1st - Malaysia government officials are poor in controlling foreigners in working in Malaysia

The toner helps reduce pore size, but it also kills any bacteria in your skin and dries up dirt/oil/anythign else, so its important to moisturize after or it will just dry your skin up, but it dries up the causes of acne. and apart from makeup, there really is no way for depigmentation, only a doctor or dermatologist could help with that, since its pretty much a color. if its like an acne scar, mederma (scar medication found at drug stores) might help ligthen it up but it will never go away completely

Biore's blemish fighting ice cleanser or pore unclogging scrub?

which one is better?


which one is more affective?


--has better reviews?|||i use the ice cleanser, but i havent used the pore unclogging. if you have used a scrub before and it made your face dry, id go with ice cleanser. i like it pretty well, i have oily skin, and it makes my skin smooth and clean without overdrying. but try them both, and see which one suits you better, you can also use there pore minimizing liquid stuff, it works good with either product

Have you tried any pore minimizing products that actually worked?

A good way I have found is:





-Take a very warm rag


-Lay it over your face


-wash your face


-cold rag


-lay over face|||Yes! Loreal Hyrdrofresh Toner is AMAZING! It has no alchohal in it =) but still gives you that refreshing tingling feeling. The toner is pink, and you could probably find it at Ulta or Wegmans or Target.


Here is an amazing routine that TOTALLY minimizes your pores. You could do it once a week.


1. Wash face with an exfoliator


2. Steam face with very warm (not hot) water for 8 minutes


3. Use a clay-based facial mask for 10 minutes


4. Apply toner


5. Apply moisturizer


It works wonders!!|||No there isn%26#039;t really much you can do to make pores smaller, they are the size they are and that%26#039;s it (you can look that up I am not lying). But you can prevent pores from getting larger, Use a gentle cleanser (Neutrogena Fresh Foaming is a nice one), a product with antioxidants (either in a foundation or moisturizer) and use a BHA or AHA product. BHAs are for oily skin AHAs are for drier skin. Salicylic Acid is a BHA that is commonly found in many drugstore products (neutrogena 3 in 1 acne stress control gel and Clearsil sea salt blackhead wipes are 2 examples), AHA is anything that has lactic acid, glycolic acid, maltic acid or citric acid (many just say Alpha hydroxy acid and a % on it).|||Once I took a towel and put it over my fingers, and squeezed out every single blackhead on my nose. Then I took a cotton ball and dipped it in a salicylic acid solution and rubbed it all over my nose. I rubbed the solution on my nose 3 times a day for about 3 days. My nose was so swollen and red, and even had a couple tiny scabs for a couple days (nothing too horrific). Then my nose started peeling from the salicylic acid. After all the dead skin peeled off, I have had smaller pores ever since. I%26#039;m not kidding. They are half the size that they used to be. Nobody is every going to recommend you doing it that way (especially the squeezing blackheads part) but it definitely worked for me.|||No, not really. I use Biore strips because when you unclog the pore, it automatically becomes a bit smaller. The only real way to keep them from getting bigger is by not wearing any makeup (but that%26#039;s not realistic for me) and splashing your face with cold water after you wash.|||clean and clear blackhead eraser. it will do wonders for your pores.








hope this helps(:

Ehat would the mass of water and isopropyl alcohol be if pored into a centimeter square box???

I really need to know thing answer...I have a sciande report due and i have to know this and i can%26#039;t find it anywhere...HELP!!!|||It%26#039;s science, not sciande. Also you can%26#039;t have a centimeter square box, that would be a square which is flat, you have a centimeter cubed box, which, is a cube.





The denesity of water is 1.0, find the density of isopropyl alcohol and then add them together in the right ratios. I can%26#039;t answer your question, because you didn%26#039;t tell how much of each you to put in the cube.

What will actually take a blackhead out of it's pore?

I have great face scrubs and masks but they don%26#039;t take the blackhead out of the pore what can I do to get the blackhead out other then squeezing|||Take 2 fingers and squeeze it out. Make sure your hands are clean though. Actually the proper way is to use a tissue wrap it around your fingers then squeeze it out. It%26#039;s recommended by a Professional were I got like a face thing done for like over 200 dollars...





There is also a blackhead remover thing. Hold up and I%26#039;ll show you a site where you can get one.|||There used to be a little device you could get from the chemists.


It consisted of a tube with a rod inside it. Like a reverse hypodermic syringe. You put the tube over the blackhead and pulled the rod upwards and the blackhead was supposed to be sucked out by the negative pressure.


Don%26#039;t know if you can still get them, but they seem to be the sort of thing you need.|||whatever you do... wait until you have had a shower - or fill a bowl with boiling water and put your face over it for a few minutes to open up the pores - then squeezing or using a blackhead remover with be much easier - and dont use veet - it will just stick to your skin!!!|||My friend tried his girlfriends %26#039;veet%26#039; ( I think its called) The wax that girls use to remove hairs from their legs. He said it worked a treat. |||steam your face regularly - wash ur face the steam then wash with facewash then rince with cold water to close pores
