I use the following mask on a regular basis. I have acne problems that often result in those awful red scars after the acne is gone. I apply this to my face and aprox a day later notice visible results with the redness decreasing.

Mix 1-2 tbsp honey with 1 tsp aloe vera gel. Apply to the face and let sit for a minimum of 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. You might want to cover you hairline, as the honey is very sticky.

Honey and aloe are both known for their healing properties. Both are also supposed to be good aids for reducing scarring.

I'll defiantly have to try that I like yogurt as a handy little face mask, it makes my skin very soft. biggrin

yay lactic acid!

The mask itself is on the thin side. I forgot to mention that.

I tried the mask out, I have to admit I was surprised it works really well.

You are amazing.

We actually have an aloe vera plant growing in our backyard.
Getting the aloe out of the cactus leaves is a different story. I think I'll stick to purchasing aloe vera gel instead of harvesting my own. (:

I'm going to try this one out!

What reduces hair both in females and males? Could the hair growth be altered for a longer time to grow?

I don't quite understand what you're asking about hair growth. Do you want to slow down growth or speed it up?

Poor nutrition will affect the speed of hair growth. I know some people swear that taking Borage oil will increase hair growth.

I meant what makes the hair grow slower?

People's hair grows at different rates. This is mostly determined by genetics and diet..

I know various theories to attempt to speed up hair growth but not anything about slowing hair growth. neutral

Oh, well, never mind. Thanks still!!
By the way, have you studied biology and have a job concerning this?

Oh, I see. It's pretty interesting and I've grown more fond of nature after I've read some of what you've written in this forum. I think nature's one of the place to soothe the stressful brain. Dx
