cea

[Guest guest]

I saw a dermatologist today and was I ever glad I found her. After

several different dermatologist I was so down and disappointed then I

finally got " lucky " !

First, I was told I am in the third stage of cea....YUCK! Of

course, looking at my face I knew that. I was given samples of

Eucerin Gentle Hydrating Cleanser, Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, not

the bar kind, DesOwen Lotion and Noritate Cream. She said to try the

two cleansers and see if I can use either of them. The Lotion and

Cream are to be applied separately, one in the morning and one in the

evening. I came right home and put the Noritate Cream on and had no

reaction. That is a miracle for me as I have extremely sensitive

skin. I asked about foundation to help cover up the rednesss and

breakouts and she suggested to let some of this heal before applying

any type of make-up. But she did say I could try Almay Products or

anything that is for " sensitive skin " . Nothing was mentioned about a

special diet......although I am on one with my other health

problems. Has anyone tried the DesOwen? I have seen some postings

of Noritate which were mixed but never saw anything on DesOwen.

Also someone posted about Diet Coke......does this include all soda

products or just the ones with caffeine? I drink Diet Sprite which

of course is caffeine free but when you go out you have no choice but

a caffeine diet soda or water. I did find out from a friend that if

you are diabetic and don't feel like plain water ask for lemon with

your water and add your sugar substitute. Now that is something I do

at home quiet often. Just a suggestion in place of plain water.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone.
