what are some good skin care products (or remedies) for the following?

1. wrinkles: like lines/bags undereyes, on forehead. what kind of lotions or remedies for this? what about vitamins?

2. acne: blackhead scrub/exfoliation, pimples (does proactiv really work?)

3. bronzer/tan: do they work, do they leave streaks, does it only work if you tan in addition?

4. hair care: what are good brands of hair product for guys? what about hair regrowth products? is it safe to use on your eyebrows?

haha sorry its a lot, just answer whatever you know about.. thanks!

Here are some suggestions for questions #1, 2, and 3:

1. Retin-A is a great way to treat both acne and fine lines and wrinkles. I just wrote an article about using retinoids on my beauty blog today. You can check it out at:

2. Proactiv works well for acne, but benzoyl peroxide is very harsh on your skin.

3. Here are a list of highlights from a discussion about acne treatments:

a. Acne prone skin can benefit from using skin care treatments that are high in antioxidants such as A ,C, and E
b. Tea Tree Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Vitamin E Oil use can reduce scarring/heal acne
c. Take a gentler approach with your skin, avoid harsh oil-stripping cleansers/alcohol-based toners, and try not to pick at your skin!
d. AHA’s can be effective in improving your skin’s clarity and texture, BHA’s or Salicylic Acid are best to use on acne prone skin
e. If you have severe/moderate cystic acne, a trip to the Dermatologist is a top priority
f. Accutane works to clear cystic acne, but can only to be used with Doctor supervision and while using birth control/ and not pregnant
g. Lasers and photofacials can be used to treat acne and address scarring, but are expensive.

4. My friend Bionic Beauty just posted an article about tips for using sunless tanning products. Don't try a sunless tanner without reading this post first!
