Guest guest Posted April 20, 2002 Report Share Posted April 20, 2002 Hi Asta, My symptoms did get work in the first week and a half with purple emu... and around the 2nd and 3rd weeks -- my skin began to dramatically improve. By the 4th and 5th weeks, my skin was remarkably changed. The only thing that I might suggest is that you ensure that you aren't using too much of the redness & blemish control creme. It only takes a very little bit. Also, if you aren't already, drink water. Water helps your skintone and moisture levels -- my skin pays the price when I don't keep up with my water intake. I personally drink 1/2 my body weight in ounces a day. So for example, if you weigh 150 lbs - you would drink 75 ounces of water a day. I read a book called " Your Body's Many Cries for Water " and it has changed my entire relationship with drinking water. It's made a big difference in my overall health. If you still have questions - Nettie at Purple Emu is terrific and will do all she can to help you. You can email her at: nettie@... Good luck, Asta! ~Janece purple emu... Hi all ! I ordered some products from purple emu, the redness and blemish control and super rich moisturizer. I´ve used them now for 6 days and until yesterday everything seemed to be fine but then I started to itch and now my checks are blotchy red and itching. I have never had these symptoms with my rosacea. they told me that I would possibly get worse the first days, but I think this is strange. I also received a cleansing bar for sensitive skin from Sy, which I started to use at the same time. This morning I skipped everything and just put on some jojoba oil , but I´m still itching..... Does anyone recognize these symptoms ? Asta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you started using all three at the same time, it's hard to tell which one it might be. If it were me I would stop all three for right now and just rinse and pat on the oil until your skin calms down quite a bit. Have you used jojoba in the past successfully. It causes my face to get red and blotchy... I've never used the purple emu products, but any of the products I used from Sy caused a very bad reaction unfortunately. Anything " soap-like " in general, even supposedly " extra-mild, gentle or whatever " has always been too harsh and drying on my face. I would be red and blotchy within a few days too. Hope that helps some, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
