Comments (24)Here's an update - from my sister, the aesthetician: "First of all, make sure she is not using soap on her skin. She needs a good moisturizing cleanser for the face.Scrubbing will also make it worse. If she is on meds, that can cause a change in the skin. Not enough "good" fats in the body. Hot water. Wrong type of moisturizer for her skin type. Change in diet meaning eating something that she might not have been eating before. And as always with us female folk, hormonal changes can play a big part in changes in the skin. It might not be Lubriderm, it might be her body that is changing. I would suggest having a facial treatment with a licensed aesthetician. Ask friends, family, who they have gone to and enjoyed, the same as you would about a doctor or dentist. If she is flaking, it may be the beginning signs of psoriasis or exzema. In that case, she needs to see a physician. I would say a holistic physician since I have been told by some of my clients that the drugs given out by the regular physicians don't do well. There are many more reasons but that is a start." Her answer is much as I suspected - she's been doing this for a VERY LONG time, so I'm used to her responses. If you don't understand something, or have more questions, let me know....See Moreneed a (pencil) eyeliner with staying power!
Comments (17)Thank you all so very much for all of these suggestions! You've given me quite a few things to look into. I am a "member" of Makeupalley.com, so I'll definitely be checking out the products mentioned here to see if I can get even more info on them. I never use moisturizing eye creams, because they only exacerbate my oilslick issues. I guess I'd rather have this problem than extremely dry skin, but sometimes it just feels like a curse when what I put on my face in the morning has slid right off (or into the wrong places) by lunchtime. I don't think I'd ever go the route of permanent eyeliner though. My tattoos are in places where sagging isn't going to be a major problem (or if I do get saggy calves, I can always cover them easily!) -- but I think I'd worry too much about my eyes drooping and the permanent eyeliner being slightly out of whack over time! LOL! Oakley, I am now the proud owner of two bottles of Cashmere Mist, as well as the body lotion and I love it! I had ordered my first bottle online, and then a coworker brought in a gift set that she wanted to advertise on our company bulletin board (she received it as a gift and didn't want it) - so she let me have it for $30, which was half price. A bargain! I can see this being my signature scent for some time to come. It's very soft and fresh, without being the least bit overpowering. Thank you again for all of the suggestions you've given me. I'm off to do some more research now!...See MoreBeauty savings tips
Comments (14)My friend, the "Makeup Queen" always has a bunch of freebies from her many visits to makeup counters. She gave me some good-sized samples of body dusting powder and I mixed one with 2-cups cornstarch. It smells the same as the EXpensive stuff at a fraction of the cost, and I think it actually works better than plain talcum powder in the summer. For a moisturizer and hand cream, I use Lou Ana brand coconut oil that I get at Wal-Mart (next to the Crisco). I also cook with it, so it's not just for one-use only. I make my own pots of lip gloss using coconut oil as the base ingredient, a little beeswax, cocoa butter, and vitamin E oil. -Grainlady...See MoreEyeliner preferences
Comments (31)I'm with Outside on this. My eyeliner stays put until I wash it off at night, no smearing or melting. I can put it on at 8 a.m. and if I'm going somewhere that evening, just touch it up slightly. Key is finding the right formula that stays put, is smudge-able (intentionally), and doesn't drag when applied. And the right color. I went through multiple brands before I found the right warm neutral charcoal that was neither brown nor blue....See Moremitchdesj
