Skincare & make up for Rosacea ??

Me too! :cool:

I applied it last night (first time) before bed, but I used it very sparingly and didn't find it very greasy. I did feel like my skin could use 'more' of it somehow, as it was a little dry in the morning. I have used the "big hairband thingy" to keep all my hair off my face and washed my face as soon as I came in from work. I figure it's a waste if my pillow ends up moisturised and not me! :rotfl:

My skin already feels calmer, the mineral make up has been a wonder. It lasts all day at work, no touch-ups, and is the first make up I've ever used that not only looks very natural but hasn't aggravated my skin in any way I am so pleased!

If it helps anyone,the moisturiser I'm using is this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ACNE-FIGHTING-CREAM-natural-moisturiser-reduces-acne_W0QQitemZ290213749807QQihZ019QQcategoryZ29618QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
which is fabulous and doesn't dry out my skin like most acne creams but is light and perfect for daytime, and I'm using this cleanser: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=190023148983
Both sellers are really helpful, Botanico kindly sent me a free sample a while back and wouldn't even accept postage costs, and the other lady will custom blend things if you ask, although I found her creams were too dry for me.

Glad it seems to be helping....

I apply the comfrey depending on what mood I'm in.. plus, as you work down the jar, it gets softer and I found I was putting more on! I think you get to know how much to put on as you know your skin better than anyone. I'm pretty slimed up again tonight - I think the worse the weather, the more slime I need!!

I also need sleep.... just a quick one tonight, busy week - not got the lottery up yet..

Night all.

PS - Not heard from MrsE for awhile. Anyone heard anything from her on other threads or owt??? Missing her..

Re the mineral make up eye shadows...

I really don't have alot of time during the week and need a quick fix really - I used it as an eye liner last weekend and found it to be brilliant, easy and lasting. But, finding a pot to mix it (I used an egg cup ), getting the mix right etc., basically, I found it time consuming.

Anyone got any ideas for a quick fix?? I allow myself, at most, ten mins to apply all make up during the week before going off to work....

I don't want to get up any earlier.... I allow myself just under 2 hours to get up, down 2 mugs of tea (or I'm the b*tch from hell), then bathroom stuff, hair stuff, breakfast (strictly porridge ), then make up, finalise hair, coat on, grab keys and off...

Its the tea thing that takes most of the time but it is a necessity

Kudos for even attempting eye makeup on a week day - esp eyeliner

IF (and it is rare as I have really small set eyes) I use eye-liner I use smashbox - fantasticly easy to apply.

If I use the mineral eye-shadow as a liner I use the brush, a bit of spit (well I suck the brush) and the lid of the eye-shadow - you soon get a feel for it

Firstly - smashbox???

Sucking the brush sounds good - years ago when all you could get was 'cake' mascara (my mum used to have it) - they would spit on the brush and then put in on the mascara (bit like a paintbox, with the paints being solid until wetted - explanation for the 'younger viewers'!).

I've been advised tho, not to use the lid to mix it Guess getting the minerals in the jar wet or damp, wouldn't be a good idea.

I'm going to trying spit tomorrow!!

Ta Suki!

Edit:
Health & Safety - recommend use your own spit only. Shared spit is not a good idea.

This is the only one I can get on without making a mess cos I can just jab the brush and dont need my glasses

No need to spit at all , its a cream already

That wee palette is wee, try find one on Ebay. I pointed to that as I love the choices of colours. I dont wear much eye make up because of such tiny eyes so having small amounts of lots of colours suits me - i love the gold, I wear it most nights Im working

No spit............. not sure I want it now ...

Cream eyeliner? Does it stay on? Does it like wrinkly bits? Can you do the inner eyelid?

Answers on a postcard please.........

Hey Rachel B,
Drinking Aloe Vera gel is known to help with helping to keep Roseacne at bay. You need to take a 100% gel drink, not like some of the stuff you see on the high street. It can be pricey, but this site i know has 10% off just now. I take the juice every day for keeping a bad chest infection at bay and I couldn't do without it. The Aloe drink is known to help with a variety of conditions so I hope you have found this post useful. Check out the website at www.alternativewellbeing.co.uk
If it works for you you'll be able to wear any type of make up
All the best.
