Accepted Answer

No: In real life, HIV infections are not transmitted that way. That being said, many things are theoretically possible in this world. Therefore, people who worry should be monogamous and said monogamous couple should discuss their STD issues beforehand. Actually, all couples should discuss their STD issues beforehand.

Question 4

how to heal dry skin?

Accepted Answer

DRY SKIN: Dry skin is often a result of excessive dryness in the house. Get a humidifier & make sure the relative humidity is at least 40%. Soaps & laundry detergents can aggravate dry skin. Use a body cleanser like cetaphil & all-free & clear for your laundry. And no fabric softeners! an underactive thyroid and certain oral medications can also trigger dry skin. If no better, see your general doctor.

Question 7

is revlon colorstay good for dry skin?

Accepted Answer

Maybe so: Revlon makes many colorstay products, one of which i know of is for "normal/dry skin". The goal of such a product is to maintain moisture in the skin and reduce dryness. However, like any makeup one could develop a reaction to the product. Perhaps you should give it a try and see if it helps you.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is common if you eat or drink very little to have dry skin. Often one of the best things you can do to help yourself is to hydrate with water regularly. This is often overlooked and very important for good skin health as well as your body in general. Make sure to eat a balanced and adequate diet as well.

Question 10

best way to hydrate dry skin?

Accepted Answer

Many Tricks: Proper bathing routine (short 5 min shower, luke warm), immediately moisturize with a thick cream (no lotions) within 3 min after exiting the shower. Reapply moisturizer at one other time during the day to trouble areas.  Also using a oil-based shower wash (like eucerin calming body wash, robathol, or neutrogena rain bath) can give some oil back to your skin in the shower. This should help a lot.
