Soft colours for the day and bright or fancy colours for the night are only some of the advices the professional offers the adolescents - so they always look brilliant. She stressed the importance of using moisturizers for any type of skin and a shaving method that doesn't contain any risks.
How can you prevent pimples?
You can't prevent pimples, you can only reduce them. Every sign of acne, like blackheads and pimples, has to do with the change of the hormonal balance of women. Regarding cosmetic there doesn't really exist anything to totally prevent pimples. The only way to fight them is to maintain a daily cleaning program for the face.
How can you hide acne with make up?
Generally, girls who suffer acne shouldn't use any make up because it will clog the pores even more. If they like to use it for a special occasion, they will need to prepare there face beforehand. There are products that help to accelerate the drying up of the pimples and that are skin-coloured. You find them in pharmacies.
Can pimples become inflamed when they are covered with make up?
If you apply the proper products, like a matting lotion, inflammation won't occur. The thing you mustn't ever do is touching or even squeezing them because that will cause their spread over the rest of the face.
What kind of make up should you preferably use during adolescence?
The make up should be soft and only be applied to skin that is clear and clean.
Is it true that make up clogs the pores and thus produces more pimples?
Yes, especially if you don't clean your face daily with the proper products.
Is it possible to already determine the type of skin
at an early stage of adolescence?
The skin changes with the time. The adolescents that suffer acne have an excess of grease of the facial skin but this can improve with the years.
How should make up be applied?
Only apply make up to a face that has been cleaned and moisturized.
How harmful are the basic components of make up?
They don't do any harm if make up is applied to a clean and healthy skin. You need to clean your face daily. Never go to bed with the make up still on your face but remove it thoroughly.
Does it make a difference whether you use cheap or expensive make up?
There are a lot of products though the cheaper kinds do not always offer the whole variety, so to speak a product for each type of skin. But generally there is a wide range of supplies for any purse that usually keep what they promise. The most important thing is to look for something that you tolerate and that meets your needs.
Which components should make up contain?
Make up should basically contain moisturizers.
Which make up do you recommend for the day
and which kind for going out at night?
For the day make up should be light and soft, without overloading the face. For going out at night you can play with the colours and use the brighter, fancy kinds. Remember that you only get the most beautiful result if you thoroughly clean your face each day and if you choose the colours that go well with your clothes.
How do you notice whether make up is harmful to your skin or not?
There could be an allergic reaction to certain components of the make up. This could manifest itself through burning, itching or a rash. Therefore, if you have the sensitive type of skin, you should always use hypoallergenic make up.
Can make up at an early provoke premature wrinkles?
Make up is not responsible for wrinkles. They are genetically determined and hereditary. But by using a moisturizer before applying the make up, you can help to delay their appearance in adulthood.
How and how often should I clean my face?
You should clean your face in the mornings and evenings with special skin care products for your specific type of skin. If you have greasy skin you should use cleansing milk that frees your skin of the grease and dirt that results from air pollution.
Do the lips need special care?
In order to clean them you use the same products as for your face. There are special products to prevent wrinkles but this isn't necessary at this age. The lips should always be moist in order to avoid chaps and accompany the lipstick. The colour you choose should go well with your clothes.
Is it recommendable to already shave at an early age?
Basically it is not recommendable, only if it is absolutely necessary. Many adolescents do it because they like to imitate their friends or mom but this way they provoke an increasing growth of hair on the legs.
Which is the best shaving method?
If your legs are hairy it is best to use depilatory wax but read the instructions carefully to avoid burns. The best thing is to do it under the supervision of an adult.
What kind of care does my hair need?
The hair should be washed 2 or 3 times a week with a proper shampoo that contains a conditioner. The greasy type of skin causes also the scalp to be greasy. Here the hair needs to be washed with a specific shampoo. Mostly it is only the hairline that is greasy and needs to be treated.
How do you brush/comb your hair without doing any damage?
You brush or comb your hair from the scalp down to the hair-tips.
Do hair dyes cause a lot of damage?
There are good products that contain special components that help to keep the hair in good condition. Therefore there is no need to worry.
Do hairdryers cause any damage?
If you use a diffuser with adjustable temperatures it won't do any damage.
Is it true that the fringe diminishes a clear forehead?
No, that is a fallacy.
Is it true that the hair or scalp hurts during menstruation?
There is not a link between the two. The thing is that we sometimes find ourselves ugly and little attractive. This attitude reflects on our entire body, meaning, if you are content and healthy, your hair will show that in the way that it looks beautiful and shiny.
How do you take care of your hair during menstruation?
The same way you take care of it the rest of the time. There is the myth that one shouldn't wash it during that time but this is nonsense.
Is it harmful to tie the hair?
No, not at all, though you shouldn't tie your hair while it is still wet because it will get damp. You should always use thick and soft elastics and when you wear your hair loose you have to brush it well.
Does the nutrition have an effect on skin and hair?
There are vitamins that are especially good for skin and hair but in general you should make sure that your diet contains a lot of fruits and vegetables.
