Re: [sebderm] DOING GOOD/THANK YOU

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

I totally understand. This is acctually much easier tham anything

perscribed by the dr. I only do the face thing at night only, wash, mask

and then put the oil on. I usually let the mask dry while I am checking my

email :-} As to it not working anymore, I'll cross that bridge when I get

there. This is the first time in four years I have been happy with my

face!!
