I lost a loved one recently and the doctors believe the cancer began in the colon and spread from there. Paul Karason was back on the TODAY show this morning to show the world that his skin is still blue. He's got a case of argyria, which came from the over-use of colloidal silver he used to treat a case of dermatitis. His skin remains a strange shade of bluish-gray.

I went through an episode last weekend (June 21st) where I developed chapped lips beginning on Sunday. I thought I was just dehydrated, but that wasn't the case. On Monday morning when I woke up, my lips were swollen and the edges were tender, dry and flaky. I began by applying Chap Stick and then also incorporated Carmex. On Tuesday, the swelling had gone down but I still felt like I had big sausage lips, so much so that I canceled a sales appointment. The outer edges of my lips were still dry just like the day before. Wednesday the chapped condition had spread to the entire lip area and the area around my nostrils, so it appeared that I had a raw red nose as if I'd been suffering from a cold.I decided to pull out the big guns and I bought a homeopathic remedy of calendula gel and I began to use it more than the other two items I'd been using. Thursday was more of the same, as was Friday but by Saturday it was just the middle part of the lower lip that was chapped. That condition continued on Sunday. Now it's Monday the 29th and despite a bit of chapping beneath my lower lip, all is well and back to normal. This month marks my 12th year of working in the skincare industry! I love this field and I enjoy what I do. Here's to 12 more years (at least!) Resistant to antibiotics, and a contributing factor to staph infections, a new form of extra-strength acne is gaining a foothold. A combination of different acne-fighting therapies will likely have to be used to combat this latest "strain". We'd love to hear your favorite skincare tip/trick. Whether it's a time-saver or just a handy piece of information, share it here! Facial cleansers are typically not meant to be used in the delicate eye area. Doing so may cause irritation. Instead, use an eye makeup remover. It's specially formulated to safely clean away any eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. Contact lens wearers should read the label carefully and remove their lenses accordingly. Return from Blog Archive to Skincare-Answers.com Home
