How safe is castor oil really? Whenever castor oil is made, they have tons of leftover ricin in the material. Then its said that they heat it up to make it less toxic. I have made plans to stop wearing cosmetics that contain castor oil, n do not use it for anything. It’s especially in a lot of lipglosses. Ricin, the alkaloid i believe it is? from castor beans. Anyone knowledgeable on the topic of plant defenses? N also, being topical, plants are still absorbed into the skin n into the body? Is this something potentially dangerous or is it not anything to wonder about?   [End]

I’ve no tips for hiding the EC as most creams/ointments you use will interrupt the healing process. One option is to keep one lip looking OK but lightly rubbing and leaving the other lip alone so that it can heal. If you only have EC on one lip this obviously won’t be a problem. The other option is to lightly trim the dead skin when it crusts and curls upwards. Yellowing/orange colour of the lips comes from eating foods that stain like pasta sauce. Try to avoid this. The lips look worse when wet, so avoid licking them. Other than this you have to be brave. Try to avoid ...

Yeah, this post was mostly about the visual affect that Exfoliative Cheilitis has on my lips rather than the crusts or other symptoms.

Yes, it’s melanin and I forgot to mention that too, I only notice the contrasting colors with African-American people whose skin tone are a lot darker. I don’t think he has it either. Most exercises, especially if you are an athlete, will somehow cause you to mouthbreathe at times and we know that doesn’t help at all with EC. I actually had to stop playing soccer because of this. Even going to the gym and lifting really heavy makes me mouthbreathe. So this post mainly has to do with your lips visually looking off due to the color? Or does this still have something to do with the crusts?

Unknown Facts (and possibly suppressed info ?) About Weight Gain. I’ll try and keep it short and sweet. After living with my overweight mother in law for 6 months I’ve found out some interesting news. Apparently Synthetic fragrances, in her case, perfume, causes weight gain, and other health problems. We are usually in shape and could not figure out why both of us were getting pot bellies. After one 3-day weekend we figured it out. She was gone for 3 days and we went back to our usual weight. (It must be noted that nothing was changed from our usual routine.) As soon as she came ...

Borax is great!I mix it with a little liquid castille soap and water then pour it over my head. It *really* works up a lather and it leaves my hair squeaky clean! It works as a body wash at the same time...   [End]

I have a very sensitive skin that i can’t use just any make-ups nor foundation or even a simple face powder. But when i knew about mary kay products and joined their demo, i was amazed with the result and the feeling that it doesn’t hurt, itch or anything the like. Meaning, it met what my skin needed. Now it flatters me sometimes whenever i am asked about my age and when i say i am 28, they would say ”of course not” or ”you joking?” or ”i thought you were just 19!” and the like. I know it sounds unbelievable, of course the best thing to wear is the best smile we have, but aside from that i ...

people of color have been using coconut oil in the hair daily, & they refer to it as ”scalp food”, & it is widely used in latin america. There’s nothing in it that will hurt you if you leave it in. If you are getting a smell that is anything other than an extremely light buttery kind of coconut odor--which is rarely noticible after it sinks in--then it is from dead skin & bacteria--SEBUM--that’s the icky hair smell. NOT THE COCONUT OIL! break down & buy some gentle natural tearless baby shampoo-a name brand, or suave, but not a dollar store generic, and wash the sebum out of your ...

Rafael, How did you get on with the suggestions raised in the replies to this question? Did you get any better results? I quit using shampoo several months ago after reading advice from John Fielder (http://www.johnfielder.com.au/index.html) on the INHS Yahoo Forum. The key points were 1) only wash your hair in water and 2) give it a good brushing. I’ve followed this advice and am more than pleased with the results. By brushing, I mean several minutes each day spent brushing the hair in all directions to distribute the natural hair oils as evenly as possible before finishing ...

I use bare ecentuals which is made from minerals. My mother has rosacea?sp and has been able to use the make up. I also have extremly sensitive skin and have loved the make up. I always get mine on QVC for the best prices, but they have stores in most major cities too. Everyone always comments on my skin and how good it looks. I have tried some other organic mineral make up that I found and I didn’t like it all. I didn’t like the look of the make-up on my skin.

I discovered www.GerovitalGh3-AntiAging.com site just two month ago and i am very happy. I am a regular Gh3 user since 2000 but the prices i paid for the tablets & injections were much more expensive. I recommended your pharmacy to all of my older friends and relatives so they can take advantage of your exceptional price level. I use Gerovital H3 products on regular basis for 11-12 years and i am more than happy with its amazing effects.

Also if you know of any other kind of shampoo that is absolutely natural or organic, please let me know. I like this shampoo. It doesn’t have any harsh detergents. It doesn’t strip the natural oils out of the hair. You can just use as much as needed to cleanse out dirt and excess oil. http://www.hlcconline.com/001HLGENSH08.html   [End]

I have encountered people who use coconut oil. I instead use ”Amla” which is an ayurvedic beauty remedy. I get the Dabur range which you can find in any Indian store. Amla is an Indian gooseberry which has been used for 1000’s of years, not just in beauty products but as a herb. The Dabur oil smells a bit and as far as I know contains mineral oil. So I am learning to make my own with the whole dried fruit and steam boiling with one saucepan on top of the other filled with water. It is hard to get the dried fruit in shops, many places sell the powder but I found a small herbal sh ...

Hi. Is it possible to rub some coconut oil on the hair in the morning and leave it for a whole day and then rinse in the evening with only water? The reason i ask is that i never use shampoo and for something like half a year i use only water to rinse my hair and apple cider vinegar once a month. My hair became a bit hard to comb due to that :) So today i put some coconut oil on my hair and my hair immediately got a very nice shiny look. What i want to know: is there any problem with using coconut oil that way that is using in the morning and rinsing in the evening with only water. ...

Hi, A few weeks back I experienced something very similar- I had just bought the original Crest whitestrips and waited a week before using them. The previous time I used them, there was no problem besides the revealing of previous lines I had in a few teeth. However, during the first day, the first time I put both the top and bottom in something really different happened. I started getting a light pain around my lower right canine..I thought it was the strips doing their stuff, but it dissipated but then came on tenfold a few minutes later- the pain was much more intense. Again, I ...

This is exactly the reason why women are being thrown into perimenopause in their early 30’s...all of the makeup...pomades...lotions...potions...and we have no clue! What finally made me realize the depth of this was when I started hormone replacement therapy and I rubbed the estrogen creme on my body...it was instantly absorbed by bypassing the liver. I thought about that and all the years of absorbing chemicals...causing cancer, hormonal imbalance, etc...THINK ABOUT IT!   [End]

It may or may not work. Be wary of ”results may vary” thing. This is the disclaimer, in case, it does not work. Your husband should try nettle tea. Either make your own from fresh herb or buy it in tea form. Pour a cupful on scalp and hair, leave it in as long as possible. Twice a day for a couple of weeks should give you results. Can be used for eyebrows, eyelashes too. Also, castor oil works too, but much messier.   [End]

Thanks for the info HC!! I pulled out my old (eww) hair dye and was desperate and put some on. It stuck (woohoo) and since using only on-bleaching products on my skin the hair color has stayed longer than it has in a long,long time. I will be going out to get some fresh stuff soon. And I will look into the specific dye for eyebrows and lashed like you said, thanks!!!Its soo much nicer looking natural again, no more penciled or eyeshadowed eyebrows!!! ~eme   [End]

Hi Ginger! Porous/damaged/bleached hair will soak up non-ammonia, non-peroxide hair color just fine. You know, when you see kids with the real bright party colors like red or blue or green: they have to bleach that hair first and then put on a vegetable dye like Punky Color in order to get those vibrant colors. That is an extreme example of how you can color bleached hair with pigmented results. Same goes for the natural shades. You can try a semi-permanent 6 wk color and it should grab on your eyebrow hair if the hair is porous enough. Or try 5% peroxide with your usual rec ...

I really know nothing of hair dying, I have beautiful natural aubrun red hair and people would kill me if I dyed it and I have no interest in doing so. But I have dyed my eyebrows for years. They are naturally very blonde. I dont like it because I look so plain, like I have nothing on my face. Dying them has been extremely natural looking, economical with no hassels. I was told years ago to use a 10 developer with some loreal preference reds.(please comment if you think something else would work better!) This is my dilemma....
