Not sure to what you are referring. What marks? What helps with what condition?
:confused:
Have a wonderful holiday!!:h7:
I've used scads of different oils. This was a try-out as well. The LA Lotion I referred to is what I use NOW. I am good with that strength and have never had a reaction of any sort. It's the Evening...
You don't have the "same" type and texture skin on your entire body. If that were the case your face would be like your feet, and/or vice versa. Both are put through all kinds of pressures and...
Actually, I tried it behind the knee first. 24 hours. Then on jaw and in front of ear. 24 hours
THEN on face, totally different reaction in only a few minutes! Not always foolproof.
Well, it's a moot point now. I used it last night (not after a peel) and my skin just turned to welts all over my face. So, I guess an allergic reaction answered my question. :omg:
If it has healing properties I'm guessing you could use it after a peel? I only do Glycolic Peel so far. I just didn't know if I should put any oil on right away.
Have any of you used Primrose Oil? What is your take on it?
pepsi, I can't find pure E either. It's always in a sunflower or jojoba oils it seems. I about made myself loony trying to locate the "pure" E. :rolleyes:
With the Shea, I have used it in creams...
Not sure if I posted this or not but Almond Oil is not smelliferous. At least what I use is not. I wish I could try the Emu and am thinking of trying it again. Many years ago I found I was allergic...
Siamese, I was talking about Essential Oils. They are fabulous! I use Lavender and Clary Sage as well as Bergamot. I have way too many EOs but they are fun to play with sometimes.
If you do try...
I prefer raw shea to the refined but refined doesn't seem to carry that classic shea scent. Most of your butters will carry the classic scent of what it is. Cocoa, raw, smells just like cocoa should....
You are smart not to try to cut or tie it off. You allow for infection and you need a Dr as well to examine and make sure it's nothing more serious.
I don't think I've ever seen a topical...
A good physical sunscreen would be a first start. Use one that has Zinc Oxide on the label towards the top, or gives a percentage of at least 15% and up.
For dust, the best thing you can do is...
Quick Oats are good for me. NOT instant though. I'm with you there. I'm guessing it would be preservativey tasting anyway. Never keep it in the house.
Now, to keep from licking it off lips and as...
Finely ground Oatmeal is very nice on dry skin. I wouldn't use anything harsher or coarser than that in any case. I love honey, oatmeal, cream, anything smooth and soothing. Shouldn't really hurt...
Would this not be harsh on your face? Salt then Apricot Scrub??
Some people really like the OO but I've not personally tried it.
I understand maybe very finely ground salt for people with oily...
At the moment, I use Lactic Acid Lotion on my leg, feet and arms. If I slack off on that my skin gets ULTRA-DRY. I use all different oils that are nourishing for Dry skin. They are so nice after a...
Also be very careful about using it on your face. Just because your body can handle it does NOT mean your face, chest or neck can. ALWAYS PATCH TEST!!
This was formulated from someone on another forum. She was duping a commercial product for the same type effects. We all know that's a fun challenge. :)
Here are the ingredients:
1. 40 grams Kaolin...
I think I posted on another spot that I have used African Shea on it's own and in conjuction with African Black Soap.
I'm not crazy about the scent of Shea either but you have to weigh your...
This is how I use it. I started out doing it on dry skin and it just sat on the surface. :omg:
My skin simply does not have or hold moisture the way it does normally. I have to pour the oils to it in order for it to "look" better and feel better. I've had extreme dry skin since I was a baby...
I love oils for my parched dry skin. My favorites for their quick absorption and long lasting qualities. I love Sweet Almond, Avocado, and Coconut. I've used them alone. I've also used them with...
Shea is really great whipped with some oils of your choice. I like my coconut oil all alone though, especially at night but it soaks in so fast I use it in the day as well. Just wait a few minutes...
