How can I reduce swelling on my face from recent facial piercings?

But is there any home remedies or something for swelling? I%26#039;ve tried ice.





And something probably unrelated, what is the difference between Tylenol and Ibuprofen?


|||Tylenol has acetaminophen in it.ibuprofen does not.





both can be used to relieve pain, but ibuprofen is what is typically recommended for reduction of swelling in piercings.








ice and ibuprofen can both be used to reduce swelling in piercings if it is excessive. You will not be able to completely eliminate swelling especially in the first few days of having a piercing. also, when you sleep, prop your head up as much as possible to lessen swelling in your sleep





if the swelling that you are experiencing is so bad that it is making your jewelry tight around the hole or sink in to the hole (or both), you need to go back to the piercer and get fitted with longer jewelry. If you leave it, the jewelry will become embedded in your skin and sometimes can only be removed by surgery.





if you are concerned with your swelling, go back to your piercer and get their advice.

What is the best sunscreen to use to avoid facial splotches?

My family and I are going to Florida on vacation. This past summer, I noticed sun discolorations on my jawline and brow and temple when being in the sun. There is no way I%26#039;m staying inside on a vacation! Also, I%26#039;m really not a hat person. If anyone knows of a specific product I can use to avoid these splotches(while still getting a little color) from appearing, please tell me.|||I just went to Mexico and brought SPF 30 %26quot;Color Boosting%26quot; sunblock by Neutrogena. It gave me a beautiful tan everywhere (including my face) and protected me from burning. My color is even and a pretty bronze tone. I love this stuff!|||Kiehl%26#039;s Ultra Protection Water-Based Sunscreen Lotion SPF 15. You can grab it at Nordstroms. You will use it everyday its just that good.|||umbrelle i think makes a special pore friendly sunscreen that doesnt cause skin irritations or spots or break outs.

How much is facial laser hair removal, and how many sessions required?

So i never have to shave again.|||I don%26#039;t know...


but if you ever want to grow a beard you cant...





All i know is it 3 treatments...|||I recently looked into this very question and I was given a quote of $1,500 US for four sessions (spaced 6 weeks apart) that would each remove about 5-20% of dark beard hairs using a Light-Sheer brand laser system. The laser technician then said that a total of 10-12 sessions would be necessary for male facial hair reduction (they did not promise complete removal of all hairs). Thus it could cost up to $4,500. Another factor to consider is that unless you are a transexual on hormone replacement therapy, you will still have testosterone present which can induce new hair growth. You would have to have period additional treatments costing even more money to avoid having to shave again. I have light skin with dark hair (supposedly the ideal case); if you have dark skin or light hair it could take longer. If you have white or gray hairs, laser treatment is ineffective and electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal option.|||male hair or female ......... if male course hair its better as the hair is essayer to remove if hair is like peachy female hair not so easy don%26#039;t know the price in the usa but in scotland its like 拢60 to 拢 80 pounds per siting and you need maybe 7 sits to it s all gone you need to ask at salon for Price s good luck hope this helps some

What kind of facial spa is good for me and how often should i get it?

My face is always oily, i have freckles, blemishes and acne scars, i have crow%26#039;s feet plus im beginning to see dark circles under my eyes.|||If you visit the website owned by a medical practitioner, check out what%26#039;s available there. I bought a few products and my quest for better skin is over. The address is


http://www.romancing-the-soap.com


I can%26#039;t give enough prase to the enzyme peel and the complexion clarifier. I only buy from this website becasue of a few reasons: (1) it%26#039;s owned by a true experienced medical professiona, highly ethical and consumer-oriented. (2)excellent service. I always get a few extras with my order. (3)the natural, organic products are at their freshest. If you should find them on sale, beware %26#039;cause they won%26#039;t work. I learned that the hard way.


Once I had to wait a little because the products weren%26#039;t ready, but I really did not mind waiting so that I could have the most potent effect from the products.


Anyway, it%26#039;s worked for me like nothing else ever has, and I%26#039;m quite %26quot;up there%26quot; in age. You will actually SEE the difference, I%26#039;m sure. (It took about 3 weeks for great, lasting results).


Check out the site and see for yourself.


I also subscribed to the newsletter (published once a month) and often find good tips that I can use on an everyday basis.


Hope this helps you some.

What is the best way of getting rid of facial hair?

Can%26#039;t spend a fortune on salon electrolysis, does the home equipment you can buy from Boots and supermarkets work?|||yes they do work although i only ever used mine on eyebrows, mine was from Argos and it comes with a conductive gel can%26#039;t remember the price no more than about £20.|||Hey that thing your talking about from argos i%26#039;ve thought of buying it but everyone told me it wont work...? does it remove side burns and upper lip hair...?


thanks Report Abuse
|||either u wax it by getting waxing strips from boots or try doing threading,normally its done in beauty saloons(mostly Asian saloons) with the help of a thin tread and doesn%26#039;t cost much,also the best thing about threading that hair growth lessen eventually...but this is not for men%26#039;s Beard, which can only be done either by shaving or laser or electrolysis.|||That whole %26quot;if you shave it it comes back thicker and darker%26quot; thing is nothing more than an old wives tale.





So, shave.|||use depilatory cremes, like ones from sally hansen, they usually work the best but you need to be careful because it can %26quot;burn%26quot; if left on too long.


never use a wax on your face because it will make the hairs more coarse.


only on eyebrows.|||bleach it or use a delipitory. Dont shave it, i might come in thicker or darker.|||Try a razor|||shave|||i wet shave daily, does it for me!|||shave it or get it waxed|||pluck it out|||I know you hate to hear this but neither electrolysis OR laser treatment works. They charge a bunch of money for these procedures but it grows right back.


Try bleaching. Sally Hansen has some great products.|||Oxi-acetylene equipment is good.|||smear dried cow dung, mixed with compost on your face


helps the hair?


no,


but it smells funky|||Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.


Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.


Electrolysis and laser hair removal are “permanent” hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.

What are the facial cleanser, moisturizers and astringent brands for oily skin you recommend?

I%26#039;d like to know the steps to use them too.





Thank you mucho!|||Clinique works well but if you have overly oily skin you may need something like Proactive -


Or a three step process - wash, dry face, then apply the toner, and creams (acne or eye area).





Every face differs so essentially you can provide what is best for your face/skin needs.
