| Hey PA Dancer....how is the "finish" on this sunscreen? Does it go in well or leave a shine to the skin? I will be needing a sunscreen soon....and am always interested in trying something better than what I presently have...Thanks!
Also I just wanted to share my experience with a new product (for me anyway) it's by Philosophy....Microdelivery exfoliating wash.....I tried this out to remove that constant dry skin on my cheeks....it is awesome! You don't need to rub the product harshly to work just very gentle circles for 30-60sec's....and then rinse. My face was finally free of these nasty cells and no reaction. My face remained calm. It is not a cleasner to remove makeup...but just used to remove the dead cells. I have tried over the years soo many things and everything bothered me....so for a long time I wouldn't even bother looking at products like this. I am glad I did...this isn't like AHA products or glycoic products at all. I believe I have found my solution to this problem....once I did this I then put on my moisturizer and it went right in and again no bad reaction...my skin was still flake free in the am. I am not saying everyone should run right out and get this....but if you stop by one of there counters ask for a small sample to try as it is pricey and as we all know what works for one doesn't work for everyone. Just wanted to share! 
heres a link and at the bottom is listed the ingredients http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P184109&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=3866 _________________ Dx 1998 No meds Used low-dose accutane successfully |

Have you ever had candida? Your main symptoms are exactly what I had with extreme fatigue..it was so bad I would come home from work and could not even fix dinner I had to nap! I was dizzy all the time and my joints hurt as well. At about that same time I had severe acne and a lot of other strange symptoms. I got rid of the candida and I feel awesome now! |

I'm glad I saw this b/c I was going to ask about exfoliating. I have been using Bobbi Brown exfoliating wash one or twice a month for the past 6 years or so. Not now that my face is so crazy! I tried it a week or so ago to see if I could get rid of some of the flaking and I paid dearly for it! So sad. I'll have to see if I can pick up a sample. Question...one of the ingredients listed was borago something seed oil. Is that the same as borage- the Omega 3? I think I'm sensitive to that, in supplement form at least, but I'm hoping topical will be okay. Hopefully I can get a small sample and try it out. Also, I seem to have gotten my flaking somewhat under control the past few days. I've been using Eucerin Original cream alternating with CeraVe cream. I also found a zinc oxide topical at CVS (CVS brand, but it's only 20% zinc). It seems to have helped. I don't have seb derm, so it's working on just my regular white dry flakiness. I can wear my mineral powder makeup with no problem now (or I should say FOR now!). |

| Yes I see that ingredient and I know I can't use borage oil as a supplement but for some reason it doesn't bother me at all in this wash...infact it sooths my skin....my skin always feels better once the "dead cells" are removed...removing them has been the problem! I am in love with this stuff....it is so gently and soothing.
Just bring a tiny plastic cream holder (they have those at CVS...sz like eye cream) and they will give you a sample...if you don't bring something to put it in I am not sure how they would. HTH _________________ Dx 1998 No meds Used low-dose accutane successfully |
