What exactly should I do about my skin and hair?

I have issues with my skin and hair, and I don't know how to take care of them.



First, I have oily skin, and I am not sure what steps I should take as a man to take care of it. I need some sort of skincare regimen, and to know what else can I do to care for my skin.



Second, I have stretch marks, which came from when I was overweight. Even though I have lost the weight, I have not lost the stretch marks. I have tried cocoa butter for quite some time, but it doesn't seem to be working. Does that work for anybody? What does work?



Third, I have thin, soft hair with an extremely strong curl. It seems like I can't do anything with it. Styling products just make the curl tighter, and the soft and thin texture make it almost impossible to braid or dread. I would just let it grow, but my hair gets to a certain length, and seems like it just stop growing. The curls aren't bad, but it's time for a change. I would really like dreads, but not sure I can get them. Suggestions?

First problem: use facial cleanser for oily skin. If you use neutrogina or any of those products aimed toward teens they will most likely help. Also you should try non-powdered blot papers. They work soo well!!



Sorry i donno what to do for the second one... i'm too young to know... lol



and the third problem, i say you should just keep it short. There are a lot of dudes at my school who sound like they have the same hair. They just keep it short and it looks REALLY good.



good luck

well first, cocoa butter prevents stretch marks, it doesn't take them away. i don't think you can get rid of stretch marks. i also have oily skin and i use clean and clear continuous control acne cleanser with benzoyl peroxide. it helps alot because bezoyl peroxide dries out your skin a little. and i use witch hazel afterward and throughout the day when i start getting oily again. i don't know about the hair though. good luck!

Skincare is not exactly gender-specific. You can use OTC products specialized for oily skin such as Neutrogena or Olay. Most have websites that help you research what is right for your skin. If you feel that it is out of control, you can contact a dermatologist.



Vitamin E works wonders for stretch marks. It does not take it all away, but should reduce them.



Dreads look and work best on people of African descent or even if mixed, have dominant black genes. Yes, there are people of other races that can grow dreads but it never looks as good. It always looks all over the place, while black people can roll their natural hair to dread it nicely. I suggest you go to a reputable salon and get an opinion on what to do to help manage your hair.



Good luck!

well for oily skin, you better clean your skin at least twice a day. Good thing for oily skin you will have longer time to get wrinkle than dry skin. However though as a man, I think ain't problem to take moisturizer on your skin ... pick for oil skin.



Strecth? ahhh anyone can help this?



Hair ... I will always count on conditioner

change your diet, no pork or beef. exercise early in morning and start runing. your skin and hair will start to revive agian.

i honestly don't know how to answer your question, but i do know one thing:



YOUR AVATAR IS UGLY!!!!!!!!!!! YOU LOOK LIKE AN OLD SHRIVELED PERSON SITTING ON A TUB.



What exactly should I do about my skin and hair?

Anthony cleanser and toner on the oily skin. Shea butter on the stretch marks. I suggest you check out some salons in your area that specialize in dreads and twist, go see some stylist in action and get their advice on the hair, one thing is...just be glad you still got it.

im assuming that if you have oily skin, you may also have acne? if not, your so very lucky. oily skin is better because you wont wrinkle up as soon. you can try an oil control lotion. oily skin needs moisture. we tend to use very drying products on our skin to eliminate the oil, which is counter-productive. it just produces more oil. wash first thing in the morning and at night. nuetragena makes a great line of products. since your a guy, i wont have to go into make up. drinks alot of water too. i can stress to people on how important water is for your skin. stretch marks show up worse if your skin is darker. i had children and was blessed not to get them. my boyfriend had lost about 100 lbs and had them. you can try this stuff pregnant women use. im not sure of the name, but i thinks you can find it in the baby items section in the market, or walmart. maderma is another brand. lastly, your hair-your so lucky to have curly hair. i have bone straight hair and cant curl it at all. but im sure you can straighten it with an iron. dreads are gross and smell. i think girls would be grossed out by them.

For the skin, I would use a facial cleanser. You might have to try dif ones until you find one that actually works for you. Try each one for atleast a week or two.



For the stretch marks I heard that taking a bath in baby oil minimizes the marks. I haven't tried it because I don't have them.



I don't think the dreads would look right with the thin hair problem. I would just keep it cut short and use some styling gel to spike it. I'm a sucker for a guy who takes time to do his hair.



What exactly should I do about my skin and hair?

if you never try anything on your face, just experiment which is the best product that help your oily skin, it will cost a bit of money ans sometimes will have some effect on your skin to break outs.



peanuts sometimes cause of our place to make it oily, so try to avoid it.



about the stretch mark, use the strivectin -sd,I've been trying a lot of creams but doesnt do anything at all, strivectin helps the stretch mark bit smaller and lighter.



good luck

For your skin i suggest washing it at night with very warm water and an exfoliating face wash, wipe it with a clean towel and wash again but with cold water this time. the warm water will open your pores and the cold water will close them so that no dirt,oil or other stuff get in your pores.



have you consider a relaxer?
