speaking of skin..

I have a few questions to add:

1. Does anyone hae a regimen that is helpful for Rosacea?

2. Has anybody had a postitve experience with MDskincare?

My current skin care is Clinique, and it is OK, but just like Tammy I am seeing the signs of aging, PLUS signs of Rosacea, as diagnosed by my dermatologist.

The prescription from the Derm. for Rosacea was unhelpful to me. I have read about Rosacea and try to keep the triggers at bay as much as possible- spicy food, hot water, hot liquids, wash cloths etc. However, exercise is not a trigger I will eliminate.

Hi Judy,

I know I've posted the Derma Doctor website several times and people are probably tired of seeing it, but honestly, I've never found a skin care website that I thought was better. The site is run by Dr. Audrey Kunin, a board certified dermatologist (a graduate of the Ohio State University College of Medicine--GO BUCKS!!)

She has a whole section on rosacea along with recommendations on the best products to use.

http://www.dermadoctor.com/pages/newsletter64.asp?WID={65F55E3F-7F3F-4950-B399-E7E269A917EF}

She carries several product lines as well as her own. Also, if you have questions, Dr. Kunin or some other qualified person will answer your email. I have nothing but good things to say about this website.

I don't have rosacea but I do have very sensitive skin that's easily irratated so I have to be careful what I use. So many great looking products have harmful ingredients. There's lots of lists of ingredients to avoid but many are long and overwhelming. Here is a short list of bad guys: http://bestchoice.itgo.com/dangers_top10.htm. Here is another page that you can enter your products to check. SLS's are hard to avoid but they are nasty drying detergents so it's important to check your labels.

I have very dry skin and my cheeks turn red very easily with the wrong makeup or skin care. I just recently received some samples of DHC products. I tried them and fell in love with the products after only 1 night. I ordered what I needed and after only a couple of days my skin has felt and looked better than it has in literally years. I went to a Body Pump class last weekend and after the class ended, the instructor asked me was I using on my face because my skin looked so soft. I even had to go out yesterday and buy a new shade of makeup because my skin is so much brighter. My other makeup was making me look drab. I am a person who likes to sleep with their head smushed into the pillow and because of this I have a little line on each side of my nose. The line on the left side is barely even visible now that I've started using this skincare. You can find it at www.dhccare.com.

Kelley, What are you using from DHC???

Hi Sarah, Right now I'm just using the basics in the following order.

Cleansing Oil
Mild Soap
Soothing Lotion/Toner
Tocophero Enrich Cream
Concentrated Eye Cream

The Soothing Lotion/Toner is for dry skin and the Tocophero Cream is for mature dry skin (I'll be 43 in a couple of weeks).

I also have a tube of Velvet Skin Coat that you put on before applying makeup. It makes your skin extremely smooth so that your makeup goes on better. I love it.

I have tried a couple of samples that I didn't like such as Wrinkle Filler and Vitamin C which both made my skin dry.

Hi Judy! Before using Skin Biology products, my skin was extremely dry, flaky & red blotches all over w/some pussy pimples. Gross I know. Since the middle of Feb. 2005 I've been using Skin Biology's products specifically for rosacea. The products that I use are serums not creams. Creams tend to make my rosacea worse. My rosacea has completely disappeared. Please check out their website skinbiology.com and click under Skin Advice. I'm 52 so I've been using the products for Anti-Wrinkle Rosacea. I don't even have to use any makeup on my skin any longer it just glows naturally & is so smooth. Try it I just know you won't be disappointed. Kathy
