Hi,

There was a thread here not too long ago regarding the book by Leslie Baumann "The Skin Type Solution". I got the book at the library and have purchased all the recommended items for my skin type ( results from the quiz in the book).

I am looking for others ( Nancy 324) that are doing this to see how it is working for you etc.

Anyone out there?

Deb:)
 
RE: Those Using

I just got the book and just purchased all the recommended products too so I won't be any help. I just wanted to thank Nancy for bring the book to my attention, I missed the OP who suggested it. I have never been so excited to wash my face, lol. I am an OSNW. :)
 
RE: Those Using

I just recently purchased the book, but haven't had a chance to read much just yet. I too am hoping it works wonders for me -- and soon!
 
RE: Those Using

Maybe when we get started, we can start a check in thread? This way we can compare what we are doing to results? I went over to the forum that she has on her site.. but there are so many people over there and a lot of threads that I don;t understand!

RE: Those Using

Deb,
I want to finish the products I have before buying the new recommended products, so I haven't started yet. I intend to report back once I start on the new products.

How is it going for those who have started?
 
RE: Those Using

I have this on my list of books to look for at the library today, so I plan on trying it out. I'm also interested in hearing results from others as they get them.

RE: Those Using

Hi everyone,

I've been using the recommendations in her book since the original hardback version came out, and I've seen GREAT changes in my skin! I think I mentioned on that original post that I had been using alpha-hydroxy products, which weren't doing anything for my wrinkles. As soon as I switched to retinol products, my wrinkles started getting noticeably better. I can't say enough great things about the book!

What types are all of you? I'm OSNW.

RE: Those Using

I just got that book early this week. I am a college student and I liked that she gave drug store brands and the higher end stuff. I only ended up spending 20 dollars for the products I needed. I have sensitive acne prone tight skin. I am already on RetinA but I added a lotion and a cleanser I was not using before to my routine. I have only been using it for a few days but the lotion did help bring down some of the red tones in my face. The RetinA helped with the acne and I am hoping her book will help even out my skin tones and stop the occasional break outs I still have.

Hi,

I am a DRPW. I purchased all the recommended items on Ebay. I saved some money that way. I have not gotten any yet but plan to use them one at a time, adding one each week, if no negative reactions.

RE: Those Using

Deb's idea of adding in only one new product a week is a really good one, especially if you have sensitive skin!

RE: Those Using

Just picked up the book today @ the Library.
I am a DRNW.

Good suggestions. They suggest I use Anew products on some of the things. Hmmm...I used these in the past and noticed good results, I guess I should of stuck with it...:)

Off to shop & ck out ebay! :)

I'm going to try and head over to Barnes & Noble this week to check out this book.

RE: Those Using

I checked the book out from the library and figured out I'm an ORNW. I could have sworn I was dry before I took that test, but I guess I was wrong--I'm in the "slightly oily" range, though. I think my skin was drier before having kids--maybe it's another of those things pregnancy changed forever (like my breasts and feet).

RE: Those Using

Hey Leanne and Nancy,

Wanted to thank you for bringing this book to my attention. I rec'd it late last week and took the test over the weekend. I'm a DSPW, the "desperate" skin type. Discovered I've been using some inappropriate products, while others are appropriate. I'll be adding to my skin care regimen based on the recommendations from this book and hope to have healthier and better looking skin within the next 3-4 months. Thanks again! Deb
