Dry skin

[Guest guest]

My dry skin is the worst, especially in winter! Itchy and ashy and all that! I

use two things that soften me right up, and keep me soft all day:

Shea butter, and when I'm out of that . . .

Vaseline when I'm still wet from the shower. I know a lot of people are

anti-petroleum jelly, but hey, it works for me and it's cheap.

When used in Bath Bombs and Bath Salts, your skin has a wonderful softness

following the bath, with no hateful tub ring.

It has worked well for me in M & P, and I'm trying it in China's Whipped Creme

tomorrow!

I haven't used it in CP soaps myself, but have heard only wonderful things.

And when you team it up with other beneficial EOs, you get multiplied benefits.

My two cents about dry skin -- Eli used to get very dry, scaly skin on his

knees in his crawling days, and still gets dry, flaky skin in winter. A a

dermatologist recommended Aquaphor (over the counter thick stuff) -- it works

like a charm!

The other thing to consider is a cool mist humidifier, to keep moisture in

the air. (Warm mist are dangerous with little ones around!) It's a pain to

keep them clean but worth it for the breathing and skin benefits!!

In reference to the olive oil. I have noticed a surge in the products on the

market suddenly coming out with a lot of olive oil in them. Several months

ago I had seen an article then a talk with a celebrity ( a former model) that

has used her whole life pure olive oil on her skin. She has gorgeous skin

and swears by it! But yep, olive oil is good for the skin & body in general.

Hi Tim, I had a lot of trouble with dry skin & hair while on Tx. I started taking Flaxseed Oil capsules (think 1000mg) twice a day and they helped a lot! I also switched to a shampoo for dry hair and used Aveeno body wash and Aveeno moisturizer for after the bath.

Aveeno: you might get it in a large grocery store as even our little one in town carries it, but should find it easily Wal-Mart or a drug store. Either place it will be in near the bath soaps. In my store it is on the top shelves with specialty stuff right next to Dove Bodywash. You might be able to save a few bucks by buying a store brand that is similar to it, I think Wal-Mart has one. Aveeno is not cheap to buy at around $8 or so, but a little goes a long way.

Walmart,

any drug store. Eckerd has a copy of the bath & shower oil that is really

good and WAY cheaper. Slather that on in the shower then just pat dry with the

towel so you don’t rub it all off.

Pamela,

I don't know how much you can do about the chlorine in the water

besides filtering it, but if your dry skin is to the point where it

hurts, maybe you should take some internal supplements to moisten the

skin.

I live in Colorado where the air is very dry and I'm 54 yrs old.

I've found that supplementing with natural d-alpha vitamin E, and

Omega 3 fish oil supplements have done a world of good over the

years. Also lately I've been consuming two spoons of cold pressed

extra virgin coconut oil daily and I seem to be getting positive

effects from that. On extra dry or wrinkled areas I'll dab a tiny

amount of the evco on those areas too. Good luck!

If you are washing your face with filtered water I dont see how the chlorine is

a problem.

For dry skin I recommend

http://www.amazon.com/Twinlab-Napca-Liquid-Aloe-Vera/dp/B0009KMIFG

It is the material that occurs naturally in human skin to keep it moist and

plyable.

I am 60. Six months ago I moved to a new city. The tap

water really smells of chlorine and so I purchased a

Brita carafe filter system. I also tested the water

and the PH is above 8.

The skin on my face hurts and is so dry. I have been

using ATOPALM cream and facial wash. The facial wash

says that it leaves your skin at 7PH but since the

water I use is above 8 I decided to stop using it.

I alternate the ATOPALM cream with a Life Extension

Foundation product called Essential Plant Lipids

Reparative Serum.

My face has started hurting now and I don't know what

to do. I have started using the filtered water to

rinse but am afraid to add a PH adjuster, fearful that

that may be too harsh for my skin. BTW, all of my skin

is dry so I am assuming that the chlorine is a big

part of the problem.

Maybe try a couple of things,

1. Before you put on moisturizer, apply some moisturizing water first so that

the skin can be conditioned longer. Then use moisturizing cream to seal it off.

Do it three times during the day.

2. Check out your hormones, for both the magnitude, and the balance between

estrogen and progesterone. They are essential to keep good skin, and the the

underlying fat, etc.

Good luck,

By the way, if you have a water alkaliner, you may use the acid water to wash

your skin to neutralize the chlorine.

Hi ,

Oh how the orange skin brought back memories. When my daughter was a baby -

she absolutely LOVED the orange veggies as well. Her skin took on an orange

tone and the doctor, in a panic, ordered liver tests. Just a lot of beta

carotene was all it was! If only she'd eat those veggies now! LOL!

As for the thyroid, check out Dr. Len's site:

http://www.ds-health.com/thyroid.htm

On the flow sheet for health care guidelines,

http://www.ds-health.com/recordsheet1.htm

Dr. Len advises testing at 6mos of age, 1 year of age, and then yearly from

then on. Be sure to test for TSH and T4. FYI if at any time in your testing,

down the road, if your child still appears to be having symptoms but all their

testing seems to come back borderline and not red flaggish enough for the doc's,

ask for an Anti-Thyroid Antibody screen. This is what finally gave us an

answer. 's levels were off the charts. If this test comes back

abnormal, it's a done deal - they have a thyroid problem! For years we had

been testing and testing and his levels were not enough to alert anyone - even

though I kept saying he had all the symptoms. Bottom line - trust your gut!

Thank you for explaining what IS is, how scary. I'm so glad to hear it's been

a while since his last seizure. Having gone through one seizure with my

daughter - that was so scary. I'm sure you've been through quite a bit with

that. Chase must be adorable, 13 months seems so long ago... will be 9

in 3 months! It goes by so quick. Enjoy the little bugger!

Take care,

Hi Jayne,

Thank you for the guidelines on having the thyroid checked. I had asked my ped,

before, about getting Chase's thyroid checked and she said it was not important

now since he's not exibiting any signs that anything is " wrong " and, at the

time, he was receiving daily injections of steroids for his Infantile Spasms.

He was already really miserable (as we all were trying to keep the beast fed and

comfortable-baby roid rage is insanity in a small little body) and going through

plenty with the IS, so I think she just wanted to get him over that rather large

hump first.

So now I need to get his thyroid checked (if only to have a baseline on file),

his hearing (that was put on the back burner, too, because of the IS) and....I

thought there was something else, but I can't remember (the train has left the

station. lol!)

So. Do our kids turn orange rather easily? Is your daughter on the fair skin

side? I wonder if it shows up so dramatically with Chase because he's a human

glowstick. lol! My older son loved orage foods, too. One of his seudo

grandpa's would always tease me because everytime he saw me feeding n it

was something orange. If he knew I was in the kitchen feeding n, before

he entered he would announce his prediction that n was eating something

orange. He thought he was a pretty funny guy.

I am trying to enjoy Chase, and he is a buggar alright! I am still trying to

not be so short with him. The Ds diagnosis really sucks for me still. Everyone

I have met who has a child with Ds (in person or on a board) seems really happy

with their child and sees them for the child they are and not a child with Ds.

I hope I can get their someday. I think that being so isolated has played a

part in my behavior (the IS didn't help either. It prevented any early bonding

pre-diagnosis and I couldn't stand him while he was on his steroid therapy-I

don't think that would've been the case had I bonded with him prior to the IS

diagnosis). But I can't wait to move to where I have more family and support.

We have nothing and no one here. I think that will make all the difference in

the world (we're waiting to hear from the owner of my husband's company if we

can move to Florida rather than Colorado-from California). I hope we can. I

want to get to

where you (all) seem to be with your child...at peace. I know I am missing out

in some great memories, but I am doing my best.

OK. Enough wallowing. Sorry about that. I don't really have opportunities to

talk to people so it bottles up and when their is a slight opening I tend to

ramble...sorry.

Thanks for the info on the thyroid. I will definitely bring that up to my ped.

I had no idea we should've been testing already...from birth! Still so much to

learn....ugh!

I don't know if it will go through since this is a board posting, but I have

attached a picture of Chase from Christmas morning. The funny thing is that he

looks like Princess Leigha but sounds like Chewbaka (literally). I need to get

his Wookie call on camera. It's pretty funny.
