Hello,

I think Jojoba oil broke me out...I would like to try Emu oil...REALLY FLAKY SKIN NOW. May I know anyone using it & where can I get it? Which brand should I buy? Thanks a lot!!

[YamiKatie]

I live in the UK too, and have just ordered 2 oz of Emu Oil from lurebeauty.com, as it does the cheapest shipping to the UK that I've found so far ($4.50). It came to a total of $14.86 - you get 20% off if you sign up to the newsletter. So £7.50 for something which apparently lasts quite a few weeks seems okay. It's a pain trying to order online for England, as everywhere usually offers free or cheap shipping to the US, and extortionate prices for anywhere else. ~_~

Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot for your reply:) Seems like no emu oil can be found in UK unless I order from shipping. Thanks for your reply!!

i second *Moderator edit, URL removed - read the board rules. * that is where i buy mine from.
infact i think its sparkledust that i got the site from in the 1st place. . . . .

also i would recommend getting Australian emu oil as it is regulated by the government rather than the american stuff where they add also sorts of extras in that are bad for your skin (however some american company’s do sell pure emu oil but most just call it pure emu oil and there is like a list of 10 ingredients (the one o buy has 2, emu oil and lavender) i get the one with lavender because i didnt no if emu smells nice or not which is important as it stay on your face for a minimum of an hour before being soaked up

Just an update: I've been using a 2oz bottle of emu oil for 5 weeks now and it's still a third full! This stuff is amazing value, even though it feels a bit pricey when you first purchase it.

When do you use the emo oil, before or after the BP??

I cleanse, use BP, moisturise, then use the emu oil. (All with about 15min intervals in between each stage).

[daniel9876]

think you mean emu oil.... anyway you use emu oil last, emu oil is also a moisturizer, so if you use dans regium you do not need to Moisturize as this takes its place, im not to sure how well it compares to other moisturizers as i have not used any moisturizers before (apart from emu oil)

[MasterCheif]

LAWL, sorry yer emu oil, emo oil would be very bad for your skin..

[MasterCheif]

So what emu oil do I get off those sites posted? They got pure emu oil and all this but which one is the best? Surely the body one wouldn't differ from the facial one will it..??

well it depends pure emu oil tends to be better, Australian pure emu oil even better as it is regulated so there is no hidden ingredients which sometimes appear in american emu oil however there are some american companies that do sell truly pure emu oil. impure emu oil tends to contain ingredients that have no use or are bad for your skin, but help keep the consistency of the product as emu oil tends to melt and become a liquid on a hot day which makes it horrible to use, from some of the posts ive read peoples skin become worse when using impure emu oil..... but some people found pure emu oil had the same effect (sorta like aloe vera oil makes some people worse)

if the emu oil was not pure then there would be differences between body and facial emu oil as they may add ingredients that are specific for certain areas of your body... for example your back has thicker skin than your face so they may add a chemical that makes body emu oil easier to absorb)

however i strongly recommend getting pure australian emu oil (can be used anywhere) due to the strict processing laws of the making emu oil in australia rather than the free for all, add anything you want society in America

Been using it for the past two nights and I think there's a slight decrease in my redness, could be wishful thinking though. One problem is I got a huge headless spot on my chin which basically appeared overnight, plus it feels really hard. I tried picking at it this morning (bad move!!) and nothing came out. I doubt it's from the emu oil but someone here said when they started using emu oil they got spots which couldn't be picked.

I'll keep my eyes out, hopefully it's not the case!

yep when i was considering buying emu oil i read several posts about how they broke out using it, when i started using emu oil i was fine and it started to reduce the redness down in just a few days like you after i used the first pot i ordered another one but halfway though this pot i broke out really bad, this happened for several days then when i stopped using it i stopped breaking out, however im now using it again and im not breaking out, so im guessing that emu oil will make you break out if there is something else present for example not enough water or something or something, i believe this is a logical conclusion as i had been using emu oil for over a month and i didnt break out more than usual and again now im using without any problems

another thing about emu oil in my experience.. . . . when i stopped using it my face did go back to a slightly deeper shade of red but was not as bad as it was when i first started using emu oil. so if you do stop using it keep this in mind (it may just have been my skin being awkward it likes doing that)

[MasterCheif]

Actually it didn't break me out (touch wood..) it was just this one big spot but it could've been coming to a head for the past several days before I started using emu oil. Since then I haven't had anything bad, if anything my acne is clearing up again!

[dancinggirl12]

emu oil is the only thing that didnt make me break out, and actually calmed my skin

[temp123]

There's a product in america called emuprofen. It's emu oil with ibuprofen in it.

I haven't tried it, but I've been having stupidly good luck with ibuprofen gel and tea tree oil; several people that have tried that and report that they don't get acne any more, only tiny bumps that rapidly disappear.

So if you imported emuprofen and stirred in 5-10 ml of pure tea tree oil that should be stable and work really, really well. That way you've got the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory double whammy going on.

Just a thought for the adventurous. A 4 oz tub should last a couple of months maybe.

[isaldur1]

i know this is an old post and all, but thought id just say you can buy pure australian emu oil from this site
*Moderator edit, URL removed - read the board rules. *

[Jettica]

Old post but worth flicking in my two cents.

I agree with *Moderator edit, URL removed - read the board rules. * and use the Pure Emu oil or the Skin Cream. Both have stopped breakouts for me in the past. Plus for those of you in the UK shipping is £1.50.
