I am very excited about this topic. Early in the thread there was talk of acne and problem skin. Unfortunately that is something I know a lot about. Adult acne has been the worst thing for my confidence and I have had it now for 11 years. I just found an amazing product for moderate to seviere acne. Its from Gunilla of Sweeden and its their Lerosett clay face mask. It pulls out every nasty toxin living and breeding in your pores. It has been the best thing I have ever used. Once a week I use a repair peeling gel from Obey Your Body. My skin has never been so healthy.

So where did you buy this"peeling gel" and how expensive was it?

Shelle I bought at a vendor in our mall for $30. Unfortunately they closed down. On their website it retails for 198.00 and I can't afford that but I do know they sell their products on Amazon. I wish I would have stocked up.

 
This thread rocks! Thanks Cat for getting it started!

I understand ages and stages require different treatments - but I'll share my beauty secrets for ALL ages!

Water! Drink it often and make it your only beverage (except wine and coffee, of course!). From sunup to sundown - drink as much water as possible. It's a great filter for your entire body and doesn't cost anything! Prost!

Coconut oil! I'll post more details about the benefits of coconut oil in a follow-up post - but it''s a staple in my diet and beauty regime. I use it to cook, use it for dental care, um...deodorant, hair care, enzyme protection, facial toner, etc. Coconut oil has a vast variety of uses - it's an amazing product that can be purchased organic for about $10-15 at most natural food stores. And it'll last a long time - because a little goes a long way! Usually one/two 12ozs jars is all that is needed for an entire year!

Organic! Organic, ladies!!! No chemicals! If you can't read the fourth ingredient on your shampoo bottle...time to reconsider options. I prefer Onesta Brand for shampoo/conditioner (on Amazon), Also. Devita facial lotion and eye cream are amazing!

I do like the powder cover-up and neutral eyeshadow from Clinque. It works fine - but I have noticed some flaky results after applying...and would like to find another brand!

I guess my biggest question is whether home recipes are worth the hype. I've made bug spray, astringents, perfumes, toothpaste - but it's hit or miss compared to the store brands.

Thanks beautiful ladies!

Blooooooooooooooooomie! I knew you would be on here! You are one of the "so pretty" people I was taking about. You have such delicate features and such pretty hair! Confession, I have saved your profile pics to my photo album cuz i just love seeing you hugging your daughter....weird I know....but honest. You guys are so cute. I haved saved several peoples pics! Lol! Suzie, Pokey, Teal and even Yellowbelly, lol!

I LOVE coconut oil. My stepdaughter has just turned me on to it for my hair. I have a lot of hair (starting to thin at the crown area) but the strands are very fine. I can blow dry it out so pretty, but with all of the perspiring i do (thanks menopause and thyroid) my hair is a frizz bomb ALL of the time. I seriously look like bozo the clown. Now that my hair is shorter, it is REALLY bad. When it is not soaking wet, that is. The coconut oil, when applied with my hair still wet, seems to help it. I have only tried it once and i dont think I used enough to tell you the truth. I would normally use ABBA hair and skin lotion, and they stopped making it years ago. I am on my last bottle.......nooooooooooooooooo!

I love Oil of Olay stick foundation. It is cooling, which I really like. AND SUPER moisturizing. I apply it over primer (serious skin care "A" primer) and blend and I get the sheerness tht I like. If i dont use the primer right before, it doesnt spread really well. It really pissed me off when Oil of Olay discontinued their make up in the US. it was only here for a couple of years and they stopped carrying it in 2001. I get it on ebay from the UK. I vary foundations quite a bit, but I always use one since I was about 45.

One thing that i am having a really hard time living without is Estee Lauders Advanced Night Repair Serum. It is 85 bucks for a two ounce bottle. I have used that stuff for years and years. I layer serums big time. I used to use that day and night. It makes your skin SO soft and clear. A bottle would last me six months though. You literally just need a drop. I really can tell the difference now that I cannot afford it. Otter is so sweet about buying me skin care stuff, but I absolutely do not want to be "high maintenance" for him....so I no longer get it. It SUCKS. Another thing I cannot live without is Avon Anew "clearly C" serum. They stopped making it. There is one on ebay for about fifty bucks and I am not buying it. I MUST have vitamin C serum for clarity. My fair skin gets really muddy looking without it. I have been experimenting with other C serums but none have even come close to doing what that did for me.

Ok enough bitching. Lol!

 
Incidentally, did you guys hear that Dr. brandt passed away? Skin care innovation right there. I have used several of his products and they were awesome......just really expensive. RIP Dr. Brandt and thank you!

 
Cat brings up one of my worst problems. Sweating. Not my armpits like normal people (deodorant works fine for that area). It's my head! Specifically around my hairline on my forehead. It's so embarrassing and we have 90° plus all summer.

I've heard ads on the radio for sweat treatments, but they talk about armpits. I wonder if this is something I can get for my face? Has anyone heard about this?

I'm going to try and research it. I resort to wearing headbands a lot in the summer, but I can start sweating in the dead of winter. Help!

 
I second that request! It seems like the more water i drink, the more i sweat. I feel parched most of the time. It sucks.

Well I'm glad I'm not alone. I am always hot! And sweat the same way as you twirls. It drives me crazy. I've just learned to deal with it but I think I'm going to start researching if there's anything I can do about it.

Yeah it sucks, especially after you do your hair nice and the next thing you know it's limp and soggy. I'm always sweating bullets at the MG counter. Doesn't help me look cool, calm and collected!

 
I carry a Japanese fan in my purse, really comes in handy

Haha I have a battery operated one that hangs on a string around my neck that I try to dry my sweaty hair with. I bet the guys reading this are really getting "hot". Lol

Botox is used under the arm pits for sweating so I don't know why it wouldn't work for sweating on your hairline! I love me a tad of Botox between the eyes---NOT that crazy too much Botox look though. Just enough to keep me from looking mad when I'm not. I think they call it the Bitchy Resting Face! Ha! Anyway, maybe a little Botox would help. Now, it won't keep you from sweating when you work out (I sweat like a man when I run or ride a bike) but maybe with everyday normal sweating??? Worth an ask anyway.

 
@roger I bet that is what they were advertising on the radio. How long does it last when you have it done?

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: @WTF7218 it may as well be that way with how little effort some of the people on here make to find information that's exactly where you would expect it to be.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  4. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  5. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  6. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
