I've got naturally curly hair, but it's become super dry and frizzy over time because I haven't maintained it well. With a family event coming up, I'm thinking about getting my hair treated, and someone recommended cysteine treatment to tame it. I'm a bit worried about any side effects that might come with it. Is it safe to go for the cysteine treatment, or should I consider keratin or chemical smoothing treatments instead? Would love to get your thoughts on this.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been using panderm cream to try and get rid of the black spots on her face, but it seems like every time she stops, the spots not only come back, but they're even worse. I'm concerned if it's really safe for her to be using this cream. Are there any side effects she should be aware of?

I'm curious about using Abzorb dusting powder regularly. Is it safe for everyday use? If not, what powder would you recommend that's safe for daily application?

Abzorb dusting powder is generally safe for everyday use, but for long-term daily usage, consider switching to a gentle, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic powder like Johnson's Baby Powder or Cetaphil Dusting Powder to minimize skin irritation risks.

I've noticed a lot of white spots on my upper lip and the lip line. They aren't painful, but they look like an allergy or something unusual. I use lip moisturizer every day, so I'm not sure what's causing this. Could you suggest what might help get rid of them?
