Thats great news genie, now got to get you to try the oil cleanse

Oo er Jeannie.

I've got it ready in the bottle, but I've not tried it yet.

How long do you rub it in for Suki?

Do you do exactly what the link says?

I've been reading all about that - fascinating. Like MrsE, I am leaning towards the Crisp n Dry but may mix mine with Asda's virgin olive oil....

What I really need is a housekeeper/accountant/nurse/chauffeur to make life a tad easier

I'm sooo amazed that my face hasn't flared up with all the stress - so its huge compliments to EB and that comfrey allantoin rich stuff (greasy - but great at night!).

I have put the comfrey on bits of ezcema on my arm to see what happened and it settled it down. I have tried comfrey before but it didn't do much, but this one, made from comfrey rich in allantoin, does seem to be very good and calming.

I really must go to bed in a minute!! Had a busy and 'intense' evening and this is my 'wind' down time - plus can have lie in tomorrow! Check watch, today!

Exactly Mrs E and for as long as you have the time and notion for. Some nights Im just a one minute wonder, others Im massaging away for five mins or more. I also sometimes leave my face covered in oil while I go on and pluck my eyebrows etc.

Go on, give it a go, you know you are dying to :rotfl:

I took the bull by the horns & I did it:D

Saturday night, I really liked it;)

So much so, that I did it again this morning:o

I squeezed a few blocked pores after, some had soft sebum it, but a couple had really hard sebum, like a hard plug, I'm sure it came out easier than it would have without the OCM;)

Can I do it morning & night until my skin is unblocked?

Woooooo hoooooooooo

To be honest Mrs E, Id just stick to evenings and depending on your skin type perhaps only every other day. Like you I had such great results I just went mad with the cleansing - and ended up with sore dry tight areas.:o

You might want to go boil the kettle and do a wee bit of a steam cloth and maybe up the castor oil - up to 25 or 30% perhaps?

are u using the true match minerals ? is it any good ?

jeannieblue

I'm not sure - but don't think Loreal and others are just minerals - think they have other 'stuff' added. Sorry to be so technical there are others on here cleverer than me

If its not on this thread, then maybe on the Sheer cover thread, it tells you what products are pure minerals and what are not.

Sorry I have only just noticed this thread so this has probably been posted before but I think that Bare Escentuals has to be one of the best mineral make up. I have tried quite a few and get best effect from theirs especially with the mineral veil on top. I bought mine off ebay. I have also tried Lilly lolo whos is quite good, Avon which I hated and various types from overseas which have all been good. I got a huge set of different shades and eyeshadows, bonzers, veils etc from someone on ebay and they were really great value for money and give great coverage. The user name is bareskincareminerals and they sell Joelle minerals which are really good. I have acne and I find that I get far less spots with mineral makeup too and if I do get them I can easily cover them with minerals. Wont use anything else now.
