Mascara, stress, haircare, & more!

[Guest guest]

Mascara:

I have great luck with the Longcils Boncza cake

mascara which I learned about here. It has very few

ingredients, but takes a little getting used to. It

stays on all day without smudging or flaking and looks

really good. Because it's in a cake, I can adjust the

" drama " as I want to. I remove it with a warm

facecloth. It's online at beauty.com.

Remover:

Before I used the mascara above, I used to use stuff

that was harder to remove. I had good luck with the

chammomile eye makeup remover from The Body Shop.

Haircare:

I'm a bit of a princess about my hair, which is short

and highlighted. I really like the salon brand Rene

Furterer, which is expensive, but really protects my

color. I use shampoo and the vinegar rinse. Twice a

week a use an oil treatment on hair and scalp. I use

their gel (trying to keep it off my skin) and also a

wax pommade finishing product. No wheat proteins in

the particular products I use and minimal alcohol. Has

been working for me for at least a year.

Stress:

I can't speak to candida, but stress is definitely

something that can affect flushing, for example. I

find that the amount of sleep I get, my general stress

level, etc. all affect my skin. Stress is one of the

things that I've found listed as a trigger for

histamine reactions.
