Skin Care
| YES I NEED THIS THREAD!
Ok. Here's my problem: so I need a good but gentle facial exfoliant, but I'm not into that we have packaged crap so I'm trying to figure out how I can make my own with what I have at home or can easily grab at the grocer.
So I heard that coffee grounds are a good exfoliant from one person, but then I looked it up and apparently coffee grounds are so coarse that's harmful for your face.
| So I looked up how to make a sugar scrub and I'm considering that, but what if that's also too coarse to my face. Now I'm paranoid about what's to course for my face and what's gentle enough and if I should just go back to using cold water, and I only just figured out how toners work and aaaaah.
Anyways, advice, g/u/rls? Thx
| Carrots contain vitamin A, and it is known that ingesting this vitamin in excess can bring very serious negative consequences to the skin and bones. Also, ingesting alcohol only increase the problem

Carrots does not have the same kind of vitamin A as your over-the-counter vitamin supplements. You can't expose yourself to hypervitaminosis A by eating carrots, as the vitamin A in carrots (beta-carotene) is well-regulated by the liver and the body itself.
Hypervitaminosis A can only happen if you:
- eat livers of polar bears (and the likes)
- spike your day with tons of vitamin supplement
- has a broken liver
| Eating carrots... just like how you eat apples?
| but what if I don't like carrots (;_;)
| It is a good idea to smear some glycerine on your skin. As its molecules have polar and non-polar sections, the non-polar ones stick to the skin while the polar ones catch water molecules in the environment.
This means your skin can be humid for more time and perform its functions better, most creams for skin work under this principle, but some include other good things for the skin.

| Eating carrots is a great way to make your skin healthy and attractive. Combine that with a daily skin cleaning routine and you will achieve maximum results. When your face has healthy skin you will attract the opposite sex like thunder flashing forth from the clouds to the ground. But remember to eat carrots often.
