but my face only looks perfect with tthis makeup. . . everything else fails.

Where can I find silver jewellery that won’t tarnish?

I want a silver necklace that I can wear all the time. I wore a sterling silver chain for over 25 yrs and it never tarnished. Since it broke about 5 yrs ago I’ve found that large portions of any silver chains/necklaces I wear turn black within a week or so, always around the neck area. It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s the best sterling silver you can buy. My daughter even bought me a chain on ebay that had a guarantee against tarnishing for 2 mths. Even that only lasted 2 wks before the section around the neck had turned black.
I can wear silver earrings, bracelets, rings, anklets etc and rarely have problems with tarnish unless it’s cheap silver-plated stuff. It mainly seems to be necklaces/chains that lay against the skin around my neck. Altho I want a chain I can wear all the time, I am careful to protect it by never spraying perfume or using soaps, moisturisers etc on my necklace. Interestingly I have a 25+yr old sterling silver locket with great sentimental value with white & rose gold embelishing that I used to to wear all the time until my old chain broke and it has never tarnished. I’d love to be able to wear it again.
On a holiday in Qld last yr, I saw a range of silver jewellery that had the claim that it would not tarnish. It was called “ever” or “eva” something. I wish now that I had bought a piece then, as I’ve since looked for eversilver, evasilver and many combinations of similar names without success.
Can anyone tell me if they have used silver jewellery with a brand name that might be what I’m looking for?
Also, I’ve heard of argentium silver which is supposed to be tarnish resistant. Can anyone give me feedback on this and whether it tarnishes or not?
Gold jewellery doesn’t suit me and the only other thing I can wear around my neck is a leather lace with a pendant on it which just does not go with everything! So any advice would be muchly appreciated.

Do stretch marks fade to the point where you cannot see them over time?

Well I got alot of stretch marks when I was about 12 during puberty and because I was a little overweight I got alot extra then most girls. . . I lost weight anyway and then my stretch marks started fading and by the time I was 15 and 16 they were still there but they had faded alot. . . Now I gained alot of weight when I was 17 and got a sh!t load of stretch marks again, I even got them on my arms and stomach this time and like a million on my boobs and back of knees. . I dont know why I put on weight I was already upset about the stretch marks I had, now I have like a million! I am 18 now and I have lost weight but the stretch marks are still here, they are slowly fading though. . I just want to know will they all fade to the point where they cant be noticed, if I put aloe vera and cocoa butter and all kinds of moisturisers on them everyday, and also drink ALOT of water everyday? Because it sucks having them on my arms and legs, and I want to be able to wear sleveless tops and skirts and dresses again. . . They faded last time but were still noticable, but I didn’t use anything on them last time. . . I want them to fade even more though. . So anyone who has had stretch marks did they fade alot and you cant notice them anymore??

Sorry about my spelling and grammar people, honestly, I didn’t finish school. . .

Veet hair removal cream RASH?!?

I have a little bit of back hair on my lower back and I said I didn’t like it, so my girlfriend bought me some Veet hair removal cream for sensitive skin. I used it on my lower back and on my stomach. My stomach was fine. There were a few little dots on my stomach that went away in a day or so. But my lower back. . . after about two days, these red dots started appearing where I put it. They aren’t raised a lot. . . they’re pretty flat, but you can see them because my skin is pretty white.

I figured if I got a bit of a tan, I wouldn’t see them as much. But, until then, I thought I should find a way to get rid of them and stop them from coming back. So. . . they’re still here after a week and a bit. My girlfriend told me to exfoliate my back and then put moisturizer on. So I did, and then I thought that the red dots might be a rash, so I put some cortisone cream and hopefully they’ll go away.

But, I’d like to know what these red dots are and how to prevent them. Will my skin get used to the Veet products, or will this reaction or whatever always happen? Or are they ingrown hairs? What should I do? :S

Does sunburn turn into tan?

People say it doesn’t, but it does for me.

I’m fair-average skin. But I have brown hair and brown eyes, which apparently means you can tan very well, as opposed to blonde/ginger hair and blue/green eyes.

When I’m in the sun, I do go red and get sunburnt, but after a few days, the redness turns to brown/tan. I never peel, even when I don’t apply moisturizer (when there is none).
I don’t go majorly tanned, but more brown than what it was.

If it’s true that sunburn doesn’t turn into tan, then why does it for me? Also, is there a way to tan without getting burnt? Or does that just depend on your genes?

Note: I know tanning is not healthy, and I’m sure the rest of the world know too. . . So please don’t give me a lecture about it, I do put sun cream on. Im not a sunbathing maniac. I sunbathe like, once a week for no more than 1-2 hours (that’s if the weather is good).
