Skin & Body - July 2007

So, this is kind of gross but I'd like to see if anyone else has dealt w/ this. The pores on my nose constantly get clogged with white gunk. They don't form pimples or black heads or white heads. If anything, it just makes my pores look large. I was watching Queer Eye one night & one of the guys referred to it as pore congestion & told that week's project to simply use his fingers and press all the gunk out . I had been doing this on my own for years. I use non-comedogenic face wash. I've even tried using proactiv (even though I don't have acne, I don't even get pimples on a regular basis) thinking maybe it would help. I've used 'pore shrinking' masks hoping that would keep them from getting clogged again but nothing seems to stop my pores from filling up within a few days to a week after I've squeezed them clean. It just seems to me that constantly having to squeeze and scrape at your skin can't be good in the long run. Does anyone know a way to put an end to this???

I just had mine done yesterday, and they haven't put in the barbell yet. But when I cleaned it yesterday it stung a tad bit, not much, barely infact, and today it doesn't hurt at all.
On the paper they piercer gave me it said if it stings it means its cleaning ..? I'm taking a Q tip, and cleaning around the holes with Spectro Jel, and then I turn it so it gets in. Is this wrong to do?

I got a tattoo yesterday on the top of my foot that extends alittle bit above my ankle. So I know all the aftercare procedures. But now I'm at work (I'm on my feet alot)--before I came to work I cleaned it and wrapped plastic wrap around it and put my sock over it and put my work shoes on. The problem is, my work shoes kinda make my feet sweat (gross I kno), so should I just leave the plastic wrap on? Is it okay if I leave it on or what do you suggest? I work at a hospital so its not possible for me to wear flip flops or sandals like i can when im not here. ((i never thought to ask my tattoo artist this lol))

I have undiagnosed PCOS and am in the process of trying to get to the bottom of my issues. I used to have perfect, flawless skin but have in the past year or two become plagued with hormone induced acne. From your experience, what skin products should I use that will not be harsh on my sensitive skin and can help this issue? I know the bottom line is the get the hormones under control, but what can I do for my skin?

I have a few tattoos; family wasn't at first glad that I had gotten them. They seemed to feel that they were unnessecary and that "I didn't need them."

Now; people don't need to dye or lighten their hair, they don't need to wear ugly toupees or inject things into their head to make hair grow, they don't need to get plastic surgery to enlarge their breasts or shrink their butts...

Compared to all of this why are tattoos still seen negatively as compared to other cosmetic and "unnessecary" body mods?
