Yes. Incredible, isn't it? It's like a chapter out of cea For

Dummies. As you know, I've been doing something similiar this

weekend -- and the itching that was becoming a problem on Thursday

improved slowly over Friday and Saturday, and today is gone. All by

stopping everything and just using cea Care cleanser once a day.

Today I knew I'd be out in the sun for a while so, for the first time

in half a week, I added a dab of their moisturizer under Clinique's

Super City Block (which, for some bizarre reason, my skin likes

better than the regular City Block).

My skin looks and feels better than it did before the itching became

a problem, and at that time I was using next to nothing. Who would

guess that using nothing is even better than using next to nothing?

You can resist, Cindy. I have faith. Besides, if you falter, we'll be

forced to come up with more book titles about rosacea. (Days of Wine

and cea Flare?)

Keep us posted.
