Scars and Tanning?

I know that tanning is bad and I do not intentionally tan. I would never go to a tanning bed. Yes, I am aware of the dangers of skin cancer. Yes, I have tried Mederma and it does not work for me.

Now, onto the question! I have a lot of scars from razor bumps on my legs and I was wondering, if I tanned a little bit, would my scars tan as well and become darker along with my skin or would my unscarred skin tan and become closer to the shade of the scars, which would not tan?

Is there anything you would recommend for scar fading? I am not willing to try lemon juice because it's too tedious and it seems to take too long. I have heard of using vitamin E and I recently bought a bottle of it. If I applied it twice a day, how long would it take for the scars to visibly fade into my natural skin color? I am aware that scars do not go away so please do not tell me that. How long will it take for cocoa butter to visibly fade scars as well?

Thanks!

How do I get rid of temporary lower back pain?

My lower back has been hurting for about a week now. How do I get rid of the pain without having to go to the chiropractor? I've been taking OTC back pain relievers, and they seem to help a little bit. Do you have any alternatives. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Should I mix a bit of liquid highlighter with illuminating moisturizer?

I bought the Body Shop Vitamin E Illuminating Moisturizer but I don't think I'm getting the glow I quite wanted... So I was wondering if I should buy Benefits High Beam highlighter (which is supposed to work really well) and mix a little bit in with my moisturizer and try it out? Or should I just stick with foundation and powder?

Making my hair grow faster?

Okay so my hair is a little bit past my shoulders and I want it to grow.
I just got it trimmed, I got about an inch trimmed off.
I saw some vitamins in the store that was supposed to make your hair and nails grow faster.
But I wasn't sure if they'd work.
So what are other ways I can make my hair grow faster?
Thanks :]

Is it possible to get sick from consuming vitamin C after having not consumed vit c for a while?

It's like if your immune system was weaker then it leaves the germs alone, but once the vitamin c starts kicking in, then they really start hammering the germs, and then you start getting sick, sneezing and stuff. I often notice that I always get a little bit more sick than usual after drinking some OJ or some other source of vit C after a while of not consuming any fruit at all.

Best Drugstore Acne Body Wash? And why is my acne not clearing up? Vitamin E Oil?

For some reason the Neutrogena Body Wash (orange color) is making my body acne worse?
Any good DRUGSTORE body wash that works really well?
I don't want to spend more than 10 dollars on it...

Also, I've been using this Biore acne wash for face in morning, and regular cetaphil gentle wash (with no acne treatment) at night with a gentle exfoliater at night as well.

My trouble spots are my chin and cheeks and my forehead a little bit. It isn't like red and inflamed pimples or acne...I can just see them in the sunlight as blotchy kind of. I would say my acne is mild to moderate. But it wont go away? I just keep getting new pimples after the other ones go away...

Also, what is a good acne scarring treatment that wont clog pores? Would using strictly Vitamin E oil....not the tablets but the actual oil break me out?

How can I get my hair to grow longer,but faster?

Well,my hair is currently about just a little bit above my shoulders (the front hair;bangs and sides). And the back is just above that.I have it cut long in the front,and short in the back.I have it cut in layers,also. I spray a heat protecting product in it,then blow dry and straighten it.And I am aware that heat styling your hair doesn't help it grow. So I need some help on how to help it grow facts!
Thanks!

- Also,if you know of any good hair growth products;Shampoo,vitamins,or sprays,Please tell me,and where I can buy it! (Online,or at a place like Wal Mart)
