Look up freederm. It is only available online, and is made for psoriasis. this stuff works wonders! Remember to only use a little bit. It usually only take 3-4 days for the cracks to heal up. It also works wonders on poison ivy.

I am searching for a new face lotion that has a solid SPF (20-30) and won't irritate my eyes. I have super sensitive skin and have been using Oil of Olay for decades but want something with a better SPF. Any recommendations?

no one mentioned this so......
At the end of the day, cuz Im blue collar, I take rubber or latex gloves out. Lather my hands up with bag balm or whatever and put the gloves on. Grease and gloves. If you can fall asleep with those pesky gloves on like one to three nites a week...it.holds the moisture. I can only do it like an hour bcuzz my hands get claustrophobic and I rip em off but even that long produces a noticable difference in feeling and texture.

I like Neutrogena sensitive skin sunblock spf 30. My skin can get sensitive too, and I find that this one has never irritated me, and it's reasonably priced.

I struggle with my rosacea more and more. Coupled with my SLS and other allergies I find few products my skin will tolerate. I do like the specific products by ZenMed made for sensitive rosacea skin. The have a daily moisturizer with 30 spf that I really like. My favorite is the face cleansing cream and support serum. Since 30 spf is not enough (once spring hits I gotta bump up the spf) I get to use their mineral 40 spf on top of the support serum now.

Yey! Cosmetics talk!
Or chick sh!t as I like to call it... Yes, do share all your secrets ladies!
I am always scoping out websites like www.totalbeauty.com and reading the labels on anything new on the shelves. Yep, I am on the eternal lookout for the perfect moisturizer for dry skin that is for sensitive skin, fragrance free, no chemical sunscreens, preferably natural ingredients... And did I mention it has to be under $20 and I gotta have it in hand immediately. Yeah... So far I haven't found it. But if it's fragrance free and reasonably priced you can bet I have tried it. I can't say what my skin care routine is because it changes, I get bored with what I am using, but my drugstore picks are Olay, Cetaphil, Eucerin, and CeraVe. My "botique" brands of preference are Clinique, Weleda, Aveda, and L'Occitan. I also use grape seed oil, it is light and odorless. I will mix in a little body oil from Weleda or Aveda to strecth out the splurge. I really would use home made natural products but a lot makes me break out. And the best skin comes from within, it's all about a healthy diet and lifestyle! |

I prefer almond oil, or coconut oil for when my skin plays up.

Ok, so I need a little advice and not knowing where to post this, since it is skin, I am hoping someone might point me in the right direction.. Apparently I got into poison ivy. It is on both my fore arms and seems to be spreading. I itch like crazy and anti-itch cream isn't doing a thing. I tried Benadryl cream and it isn't working either. Does this just have to run it's course or is there anything I can put on it to 1. stop the itch and 2. make it go away?!

Just to pass on if anyone else runs into this. A friend of mine said to use a baking soda paste...I didn't have baking soda in the house but I did have baking powder and well, I dunno if there is a difference, but the itching has really been reduced!

Definitely go to a pharmacy and check out the products. The baking soda paste may help with the itching, but you need to get something to specifically dry the skin out in order for it to heal. Good luck. Posion Ivy sucks. My gf just got done with it and it was hell for her as she is allergic to it.

Cover cover cover! I looked like a walking mummy because I covered my rash first with calamine and then gauze so nothing would brush up against those areas and make it itchy or open any blisters. I also washed everything I came in contact with.... Sheets, towels, clothes, washcloths after every use. I like ivy dry cream, if you can find it. I am extremely allergic so I soooo sympathize with you. My rash was so bad this last time I had to go on prednisone. Good luck and I hope it goes away soon!!! Eta: I had poison oak this last time, not ivy, that's why it got so bad. Also, put ice packs on it if it gets really itchy, it helps a lot!

want to say...
How wonderful life is with femmes. I like my dude friends of all types and walks of life and I enjoy our time. It is essential. The way I need to be around femmes is I feel safe and nurtured. I know many times out in public; I can let all the head stuff go and she will handle things. It is like I can relax inside her territory. I feel safe. I can breath. I know she has this whether it is children, shopping, or remembering that thing Im not supposed to forget.
Femmes are brave and bold and brazen and good fighters. Their perspective is one of survival. In our world here the femmes united is a remarkable and beautiful sisterhood. It is attractive and exciting and safe. It is a vacation. Going to the reunion last year...I became aware of how like going to a family gathering it was rolling up to the Peabody Hotel. I had four aunts growing. They handled everything and were so much fun to be around while they handled everything. Thankyou for being who you all are out in the world. A special thank- you to my partner in crime...sierragirrl for adventuring the world a little closer to home this summer.....I appreciate that honey! I know you are just always agreeable and pleasant about changes. I know no matter what is happening in your house or life that if I need to rest and hide from the world's judgement...your house...your recliner...your blankets...your food...your children...your lil dog..you will love me unconditionally

I did finally go to an urgent care center after work and she prescribed prednisone. While I was getting it filled, I picked up Ivarest and this really awesome scrub. Tecnu Extreme Medicated Poison Ivy Scrub. It says it works in 15 seconds and it did!. It felt really good ...Almost orgasmic!

Sea Breeze is an astringent and it works great on poison oak. I would carry it around with cotton swabs and put it on when it got really itchy. I don't know if they even make it anymore. Hope it clears up soon! |
