Hi Jay ---

I've had a lot of success with throwing out *everything* except plain

water. My facial skin is super-sensitive, and burns, itches and breaks

out like crazy from just about everything a person might possibly want

to put on it --- I finally just threw in the towel and refused to put

anything except water on my face. The burning and itching ceased almost

immediately, and my breakouts have nearly stopped due to some radical

dietary changes (following an exhaustive round of allergy testing).

I live in the country and have deep well water with no chemical

treatments, so I'm sure this helps --- others have written about getting

positive results from using water filters to remove chlorine and other

chemicals from their washing-up water.
