Skin Care Tips and Tricks

I use tea tree oil when I get a blemish. It seems to do great work in record time without drying my skin. Trader Joe's has a little vial with a roller tip on it. It's great for bug bites too!

Tori has very sensitive skin, but the Proactive line really works well and she's had no side-effects thus far. She has to use unscented (Cetaphil) bar soap and follow up with Cetaphil creme to keep her excema under control, so I was nervous about trying anything that might irritate her skin. It really does work- I've been pretty impressed with it!

I mostly use Dermalogica prods, but the only thing I use with any sort of regularity is their Total Eye care creme. Good stuff.

Thank you, ladies!! I will try both, for the treatment of any unwanted 'bumps' {be they brought on by french fries or mosquitos!}. And, I think that the Cetaphil, even though my son so far has regular oily teenage skin, will be a good thing for him. Obviously, his scalp has issues, I'd imagine his face might as well.

Actually, I think I'll share this with my friend as well as her daughter suffers from extreme excema on her hands and body.

Ugh, now I forget what it is called, but, it is some sort of lip balm, Balmex? In a yellow tube? This woman brought her daughter through my line, her lips were chapped all around. She said her doctor recommended that for it. I told her I was surprised he didn't recommend an antibiotic or something but she said it has something in it. So, as I am also a big sufferer of chapped lips, I am going to try.

Unless someone has a better solution?
