Help with finding skin care that doesn’t make me break out!?
Posted by admin on Oct 20, 2009
Since high school I have used a lot of different skin care products, usually the higher end like estee lauder, clinique, merle norman etc. I never could use grocery/drug store type because I would breakout.
I use something for a few months with great success, and then all of a sudden it stops working. Or, I immediately break out or get dry skin.
I have very sensitive skin, especially to vitamin C, so a lot of anti aging products bother me. I started using Neutrogena products a few months ago and I thought I had found the answer, but now my skin is becoming flaky and has slight red bumps, but not acne.
My question is, where can I go to find the right skin care? I’m tired of trying samples at counters and buying products only to return them. Does anyone have a skin issue and have found a solution, or should I just head to the dermatologist? I’ve tried natural products and they don’t seem to help either.
What can I do?
I can totally relate to you.. I never had the big breakouts like most people had, just lots of redness and tiny bumps all the time. Finding the right combination of products was like a giant chemistry experiment, but I finally have it down.
I stopped washing twice a day because I was overstimulating my skin and I think the products were drying it out. I started using Proactiv, but only at night. It took a few weeks to really show results, but I’ve maintained perfect skin for the last 3 1/2 years. A first for me since the 5th grade! Also, their sulfur mask is like a miracle. I use it a couple times a week when I get breakouts. To remove make-up I use a really gentle remover wipe by the brand Comodynes (I get them at Trader Joe’s). I’ve tried a few different types of wipes, but these seem to work best and don’t sting. I even use them on my eyes. For a moisturizer, I use Aveeno’s skin calming moisturizer. It’s really light, not greasy at all, and has helped get rid of "red face". It’s the only moisturizer I’ve ever been able to use. For make-up, Bare Escentuals can’t be beat – no clogging, nice coverage, and I think it’s actually helped improve the texture of my skin. It’s also super quick and easy to apply.
I hope this helps you. You may still want to consult with a dermatologist because if you do have a skin condition, it may just keep getting irritated by any product you try until you get the condition cleared up. It’ll be worth it though- best of luck to you!

Could you help me understand a few things about homemade, raw, natural skin care?
Posted by admin on Oct 20, 2009
I recently have moved to a new apartment. The dry heat is brutal. My skin has been drying up. I got a book at Barnes and Noble on homemade skin care with all raw or natural ingredients. Some of it is hard to understand. Does anyone know a good source where I can buy these natural ingredients, like vitamin ester C, alph lipoic acide, DMAE, cold pressed carrier oils, beeswax, quality essential oils and flower waters??? I am hoping to save some money. Thanks!!
Emily’s Oils & Essentials is a supplier of Aromatherapy products. The C, acid and DMAE aren’t available from Emily’s Oils, the other items that you are looking for are.

vitamin c doses?
Posted by admin on Oct 13, 2009
looking for proper doses of vit c for skin care. I have acne roscea and am prone to infection which has caused tissue damage. I know that vit c is very good for skin care but how much with my condition should I take. help!
500 mg 2-3 times a day covers most problems. It is available also in a cream which can get good skin results.
Or try mixing contents of a b-complex capsule in a teaspoonful of moisturizing lotion and apply that daily.

Where are the best places to buy organic/natural make up. I have a chemical allergy and can’t take normal make up like Cover Girl, Mac, ect. My dermatologist told me to buy natural organic make up but I can’t seem to find any places that sell it around here.
I live in Canada. I can buy online if needed.
