JoJo - keep us posted - there is quite a few of us interested in the various mineral make ups and some of us have had a few reactions to different makes.

See Allantoin thread and thread about where to buy ingredients too.

Im just wondering if in fact you are not suffering with Seborrhoeic dermatitis. This is something that has plagued me most of my life and as Im getting older the flare ups are looking worse. The areas that I get it are the T- Zone and across my cheeks - usually when under stress or run down through illness. It can look like rosacea but its not and its very sore indeed.

I too have this condition, I have found Oilatum shampoo a boon. Since using it twice a week I have banished the soreness and flakes, and that's about 12 months now. It's expensive but Home Bargains sometimes have it in. Worth every penny!

Mineral make up is exellent. Got some samples from ebay, little sachets but with a small brush for about £3, very portable. Lily Lolo samples arrived last nite, cant wait to have a go with them.:T

Fern,

Let us know how you get on - couple of us couldn't get on with the Lily Lolo - sadly I got a bad reaction and seeing as you've had seb derm etc, would be interesting to know if it agrees with you.

I'm trying elemental beauty at the weekend - and am hoping it will be okay - Suki said it doesn't make her itch, so I have high hopes.

I haven't had a problem with LilyLolo (all day, just needed blotting about2pm, looked great and no itch) but I think that could be because my Seb Derm is under control. I have also tried this

It's nice stuff but I can't say it'l be any better for you as I can apparently use either. What is evident from their website is that they don't like hidden ingredients so you can check for anything you have problems with.

Best of luck with the elemental beauty!

I'll be trying it tomorrow Fern! I am praying my hopes aren't dashed!

Nip on to the Vent forum and Spirit Group thread everyone and just keep typing the name in! Dreadful treatment...

I don't know.......... I know that some makes are not pure minerals and you have to be careful, but I'm sure someone will know. Probably Veronarona - but I've not seen her on the thread for awhile.

She's probably a bit fed up of repeating herself Twas Veronarona's info that put me onto mineral make up. V knowledgeable lady! All her posts on it are here somewhere, just need searching for. Worth the effort, I say!
crystalmooniris check it out, hun. won't regret it.

Think Veronarona not only told us all about it on this thread but also on the mineral make up thread too. Go back a few pages and you'll find it - it is headed mineral make up something or other. I'd provide you with a link but I don't know how to do all that clever stuff. (eldest son in IT - he'd be ashamed). :eek:

She also had an itchy experience with Lily lolo and was going to try it again to see if it was just a flare up or the Lily lolo - hopefully she'll let us know soon.

She was also cross with me cos I kept buying different stuff and not being patient - I'm trying to be MSE but tend to be a bit like MrsE. I'll get there in the end.:o
