Question

I've read that barium sulfate can be used in preparing soap for removing permanent unwanted hair. Is that safe to use? I'm worried because I don't know much about how barium sulfate works and if it has any side effects on the skin. Can you explain this to me and whether it's a reliable method?

Using soap combined with any substance like barium sulfate for hair removal would not provide any significant results and could potentially cause irritation or harm to the skin. Always choose clinically tested and proven methods for hair removal.

Question

My daughter is really struggling with lice and nits, and it's been a nightmare for us. We've tried using Mediker for a whole month now, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick. I'm really worried and wondering if you could suggest something that works more quickly and provides a permanent solution.

Question

I'm trying to figure out whether I should be bleaching my face before or after getting a facial. I'm 25 with skin that's a bit oily and darker. Can you suggest which bleach and facial treatments would be best for me, and how often I should be doing this each month?
