Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 I just wanted to respond to a comment Marjorie made about not being able to use the Aveda all-sensitive line. I work at an Aveda spa with 2 other estheticians and the 3 of us use 90% Pevonia skin care products in our rooms. Gosh....how to get the point across without being unprofessional. Let's just say I would never ever recommend most aveda products to someone with rosacea. There are much better products out there you could be spending your money on. To dismiss botanical skin care lines on the basis of 1 trial would really be a shame. They can really be a valuable resource and one that nature intended. The only aveda things I'm down with are all oils and singular notes, hand & foot relief, lip saver, and lip sticks - I love the peppermint. Their skin care line is average to below average depending upon the item. I personally cannot use any of their shampoos or conditioners nor most of their styling products - it makes my scalp itch like crazy. I hope you will all take away from this message that Aveda is just one of the Estee Lauder brands and really nothing more. Their products (with those exceptions) contain a lot of irritating ingredients that at best do your skin no harm and could potentially irritate sensitive skin. However, if you are using Aveda products and getting the results you want carry on. Other brands I would recommend besides Pevonia are Decleor and Physiodermie. They are from Switzerland and France but available world wide. My favorite brand of essential oils is Amrita. They have some high tech aromatherapy diffusers too for office, home & car.

Just for the roll call (in case someone else is using aveda or considering it): I use aveda tinted moisturizer happily (for titanium oxide sunscreen, since I'm sensitive to the chemical ones) and the eye shadow and lipsticks. The blush, however, isn't workable for me at all (the uneven distribution could be my fault, but the red bumpiness probably isn't , and, well, I mostly just don't use salon quality hair products. -- Eva -- Eva Crider crider@...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 I am glad this was brought up...I actually have an appointment on July 3rd for a facial (first one). I spoke to the esthetician on the phone and she said she had lots of clients that had cea and uses the Aveda sensitive line on them. I am now thinking twice about going to the appt. I am almost sure they will try to sell me the products as well Jennette Aveda > I just wanted to respond to a comment Marjorie made about not being able to > use the Aveda all-sensitive line.
