Honey mask @Someday18 Ohh gotcha, well I think you have a good routine! I'm a fan of using gentle, more natural products. I think an hour is good, but I'm just saying that because I could not imagine having hone... | In forum Acne | 9 years ago |
Best Cleanser You've used!? @essex11 Yeah, cleansers like Cetaphil and CeraVe do not foam - they have more of a lotion texture. It feels weird at first when you are used to typical cleansers that foam up, but is just something y... | 9 years ago | |

Best Cleanser You've used!? @essex11 I have tried Cetaphil & I thought it was good for a basic, gentle cleanser. I preferred it over the CeraVe Cleanser. As for your second question, yes I would stop using that cleanser ASAP... | 9 years ago | |
Food It's such a myth that rice is bad for you! Rice is very healthy. Just look at most Asian cultures - rice is a huge component of their diet and they are typically healthier, skinnier and have fewer ski... | In forum Diet & holistic health | 9 years ago |
Best Cleanser You've used!? I second Aquamarina. I use it nightly. I rarely rave about stuff, because I've never used any single product that has "amazed" me...until this one! I started using it when my skin was a lovely combina... | 9 years ago | |
