Is tanning oil bad for your skin?

I KNOW sitting out in the sun causes cancer and wrinkles. but your body NEEDS sun. sunlight has Vitamin D in it which helps your bones and teeth and growing process. So a little sun is healthy for you! you can't expect me to be a vampire my whole life!

Anyways, all lectures aside. I need to know if tanning oil is bad for your skin.. It's going to be in the 70s and sunny today, and I wanna get tan before it gets cold again.

Would putting tanning lotion on my skin be okay? will it cause a greater risk for cancer? or will it be fine? does it even work? how long should I stay out with it on my skin?

Too Young For Anti Aging?

I'm 19 but I want to start preventing wrinkles now. Is that bad? I have an aunt she's about 83-84 yrs old and she looks like she's barely 65! and she still works. My mom tells me that my aunt started taking care of herself at a young age by taking her vitamins and using good anti aging creams.

I want to try using some that I've noticed at Target, like Aveeno, Almay, Olay or Burstbeez.
Are these good?
I have sensitive skin and my skin is clearing up from acne.
Can you name any good ones that I can find at local stores?
I'm currently using Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 as a lotion before I put on my concealer.

Sunscreen is the Most Effective Anti-Aging Method!

How damaging the sun really is, and why you dummies need to stop being so lazy and slather that sunscreen on PRONTO!! Breaking down the science and making it a little easier to digest for you. Love y'all!! MY BLOG: heycheri.livejournal.com MY DRESS www.hotmiamistyles.com ** Use the code "CHERI" during checkout for FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE!! NOTE: Stay out of the sun when it's rays are the most harmful, like around noon. Early morning sun and late afternoon sun (5:00 and after) is great for the body to produce vitamin D! Q: Is it true that the rays can only penetrate the outermost layer of sunscreen on your face? Eg If I wear SPF 50 and then put on an SPF 10 foundation on top of it, will the sun's rays stop at the foundation layer? Haha because this is what a skincare sales lady told me and I thought it sounded like a load of bull crap! A: First of all, that b*tch is an idiot and probably didn't even know what she was talking about, because if she DID?? She would have been a bit more passionate about the sunscreen portion and not about the makeup portion. You can't ADD UP SPF numbers like that to equal a STRONGER sunscreen. The SPF in your MAKEUP only protects against B-Rays! So things like sunburn, rashes, blahblahblah. If your makeup doesn't specifically state that it protects against UVA as well (which it most likely doesn't)?? Then it doesn't!! And the UVA rays will still go deep into your skin and shrivel you up like a prune! Makeup with SPF in it is NOT a proper ...

What I do for PERFECT, Brilliant WHITE TEETH! 1.) I use NiteWhite 6% Hydrogen Peroxide two times a week (over night) every other week. 2.) Next, I use a 20 or 30% Carbamide Peroxide solution (in the same plastic, molded tray) for spot whitening/quick whitening. This video features my own opinions.

Wrinkles at 17?

I'm 17 and I've had insomnia for over a year now.
I look younger than my age, but last week I suddenly noticed a few wrinkles under my eyes. Is it due to the insomnia? Can it smooth out and be less noticeable by sleeping? If so, any tips to cure insomnia? I have a very healthy diet, I only drink water, I take vitamins, I exercise, and I just bought almond oil for my eyes. Thanks!

What are the lines under my eyes (pic included)?

http://yfrog.com/0hdscn2082fj

Some people can't see them at all but if you look closely you can. It's mostly in certain lights. I don't know if they're linesor what..But it's like 3 string-thin little lines from the part of my eye nearest my nose down to the other side of my eye on the left and on the right you can't really see any. That was the best picture I could get of them. Are they wrinkles? Is this from the circles under my eyes? How can I get rid of them? Is it possible to get rid of them? How long would it take to get rid of them? I started taking multi vitamins, sleep 8-13 hours a night, stopped drinknig caffeine & cut smoking to 1 a day (before it was about 4 a day so i doubt that really contributed that much to them, they just came out of nowhere one day and got a -little- better than they were). I also have been putting cold tea bags on my eyes & vitamin E lotion.

Thanks.

How to make a homemade face serum?

I am 20 years old, and yes this may sound rather young to start thinking about anti-aging, but I figure...why not? I already have a few faint lines in my forehead that are randomly red, as I think they may be sleep wrinkles (UGH?!)

And with the economy, I'd rather hold on to my money and try to create something or buy like the main ingredients in most great serums instead of buying them for the retail/name-brand price.

What has great results? I was thinking something like AHA/Glycolic Acid or ... just keep going to sephora and getting samples every week haha!?

What do you think? I have tried the following as masks but as far as actual serum serums I don't know how to make them serums or if I shoudl use stuff like vitamin C extract?

Honey
Egg whites
olive oil
milk
tee tree oil

what do you think? thanks :)
