“….The eczema creme healed her son and husband’s horrible cracking feet…”

It’s ok to take a break from cleansing or only cleanse 1x daily…only occasionally.
I only cleanse 1x daily in the evenings — my skin is sensitive to over agitation from many years of using harsh acne fighting products (toxic cleansers, scrubs, cremes, masques)
Occasionally I will skip a day from cleansing to give my face a break.
Signs that your face needs a break from cleansing:
1) You notice persistant small bumps — not noticeable to the naked eye but tiny “goose bumps” – often a sign of over agitation
2) Skin seems dry …

Sometimes winter weather can cause skin to be more oily and broken out. A simple “mini facial” 1x weekly can control and heal existing breakouts and allow the skin to maintain moisture balance.

Most cosmetics and personal care products on store shelves today contain five major categories of toxic ingredients. These are: frank carcinogens (cancer causing); precursors of or “hidden” carcinogens; endocrine or hormonally disruptive; penetration enhancers; and allergens.

Dr. Epstein is urging the National Cancer Institute to “insist that Avon reformulate its products to phase out all toxic ingredients” Benzophenone-1 (hormonal and penetration enhancer) in Nail Experts Nail Brightener. Methylparaben (hormonal), ethylparaben (hormonal), and imidazolidinyl urea (cancer precursor) in Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara. Ceteareth-20 (cancer precursor), and disodium EDTA (penetration enhancer) in Advance Techniques Body Building Conditioner. PEG-80 sorbitan laurate, and PEG-10 rapeseed sterol (cancer precursors) in Anew Beauty Youth-Awakening Lipstick.

DermaTouch Intense Moisture Creme: Not just for those suffering from Rosacea and Eczema – excellent Winter-Care moisturizer for red, irritated and dry patches on the face and hands.

“Thank you for creating mineral
makeup without mica! It is virtually
impossible to find “mica-less”
mineral makeup. I have even
attempted to pay addtional charges
for custom mineral makeup without
mica with no luck. The variety of
shades is also outstanding. Often
times, you are stuck with three or
four shades, and that never works
out for me because I am a woman
of color. ”
