How well does Plan B work if taken within the first twenty four hours?
My boyfriend and I had intercourse at about eight o'clock in the morning and the condom broke during orgasm, so he did completely ejaculate in me. I immediately ran to the shower and washed out my vagina with warm water for about five or six minutes. Within the next twenty minutes, I should be taking Plan B. Is it too early to take it? And how effective is it this early? (I am hoping for a percentage.) Can anyone estimate my chances of becoming pregnant?
Thank you.
How do you treat calluses with a pumice stone?
I have a pumice stone and my boyfriend has terribly callused feet. How do I use the stone? Do you just soak the feet in warm water and scrub with the stone??

Acne spot treatment using aspirin?
I recently read in a magazine that mashing three aspirin mixing it with a teaspoon of honey and a few drops of warm water making it into a paste can help get rid of acne. does it really work? if so how long do you leave it on before washing it off?
sudden dry "scaly" skin unlike normal dry skin~~problem with my regime?
this is my regime(including exercise):
-6am- wake up and wash my face with cetaphil, then take a shower--softly pat dry afterwords
-i dont do anything to my face except an occasional mosturize between 5-7
-8pm-excersize for one hour, gently wiping off as much sweat as possible
-9pm-jump in the shower and temperature is neither scolding hot or cold- i dont wash my fash or touch my face but i let the water go over my face
-11pm-wash my face with cetaphil (splash water with warm water, squirt into hand and lather in hands, wash face for about ten seconds)
-1120pm-apply epiduo (acne spot treatment) small amounts
i do all this and i have a very precise schedule, what ive been noticing recently is that ive been getting a scaly patch of dry skin on my cheeks and its starting to get dryer on my forhead. im afraid to apply more mosturizer because it makes my skin read and splotchy and also oily looking. im also hesitant to change my schedule but its apparent that i need to. ANY advice?
Am I cleaning my skin to often?
Here is what I do daily:
1. Wet my face with warm water to open my pores.
2. Apply IMAGE Blackhead Scrub (I don't have blackheads, the scrub is just very abrasive) twice a day
3. Rinse off the scrub
4. Apply Clean and Clear foaming facial cleanser, twice a day
5. Rinse off facial cleanser
6. Apply Clean and Clear advantage acne spot treatment, 2-3 times a day.
I do this daily, my skin is not flaky, dry, or irritated. The products work fine, but I'm worried this might cause problems in the future. I also moisturize my face after washing it. Can this cause problems such as acne or irritation in the long run?
Thanks for answering in advance(:
The scrub is not harsh at all, it just tones my skin and peels the dead or dry skin off. Its more like a lotion-like substance with blue scrubing beads in it than a gel type which is what alot of scrubs are.
How to get rid of pimples and oily skin?
For a couple of weeks now- i've been getting extremely oily skin, and im starting to break out a lot! I've tried popping a few pimples, but it always left a scar, and i can never get all of the puss and the "head" of the pimple out. I don't think popping the pimple is the best thing for me, and i wouldn't like to try it again. I also wash my face everyday using warm water first and cold water after to open and close my pores. I use Neutrogena Deep Clean washes, is this a good face wash to clean up all my pimples and take off all the dirt? Also, i've been using Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment and it's not working very well for me. It made my face red and kind of swelled up the pimples. I've tried using many different kinds of techniques such as toothpaste and putting ice and warm water on them- none of it seemed to work. Please give some tips and techniques that i could try to stop my acne and oily skin. Also, recommendations are helpful. Thank you!

And i also have a party tomorrow, and there's a huge pimple under my nose that's very noticeable! I need a quick way to get rid of it, please help!
Does benzaclin gel work?
I have been using it for 2 years. I find that it works for spot treatment but since it is only applied to the spots that have already appeared I dont understand how it can be a treatment that will get rid of you GETTING acne.
Also does anyone have any tips on how to use it? I have been holding a warm water soaked towel over my face first so that it opens my pores and hopefully allows the bacteria fighting agents to get in deeper...
opening and closing pores???
okay i just got an acne spot treatment from my derm. i usually wash my face with warm water, pat dry it and then put the spot treatment.
soo... im pretty confused.. do i wash my face, with my cleanser, with hot (not extremely hot) water. then close my pores with cold water/ ice, then put my acne spot treatment??
or.... do i wash my face with hot water, and not close my pores and just add the spot treatment to my open pores?
sorry if im confusing you.... just wondering
What other methods should I use for my breakouts?
I breakout. It's not even terribly noticeable (Mostly because my bangs tend to cover it. And don't think my hair is causing it because it was just the same before I got bangs.)
Just like anyone else, I don't like it.
I get white heads here and there. Every once and a while I get some that are deeper (kind of like under the skin), and some are just little bumps that don't look like pimples they just look like...well, little bumps. All of this for the most part happens on my forehead and some on my nose.
I don't have sensitive skin.
I have a skin care routine as well. Mornings I use warm water, clearasil daily face wash to get out all of the oil and dirt, and then follow it with clearasil Ultra to prevent breakouts. I repeat this at night before I go to bed as well. I use oil free moisturizer and make up. And I'm careful to not use more than necessary. Even most of the week I don't wear make up because I'm in my house a good majority of the time.
This is not severe acne. Just the typical breakouts. I don't have a lot of stress and I don't work in a dirt filled environment.
What else can I do? My routine is good enough to keep it somewhat controlled but it's not enough.
I've tried A LOT of other products and nothing has really worked.
Any tips?
