So I am going to be 55 I look horrid! I hate the bags under my eyes and red lines on my nose and chin. I just look 65 instead of 55. I hate my self! One of my problems is. They say hydrate your skin! Ok every lotion or potion I put on my skin makes me break out. I use a battery operated scrubber to wash, any soap of any kind, I break out.. If I use any type of lotion bam! I break out! Ughhh You know they say hydrate hydrate hydrate! Its been this way since I was a teen. The more products I use the more I break out. Any answers? Or products you think will be ok? I hate the way I look ! Doesn't seem to matter Gluten free or what ever... Does not matter!

I recently switched to olay age defiying daily moisturizer and its light and not greasy. also I use olay revitalizing foaming cleanser 7 effects. I was using loreal stuff for years and some kinda deep pore scrub. I became sensitive to the retinal -a they put in a lot of these products. I also use infalliable makeup by loreal and it never makes me break out, itch, or anything. they all work very well together. I'm nearing 50 in a month and it makes me look 40. I get compliments all the time. Hope this helps. Also I don't eat fried foods or drink soda.

TY Badcasper for commenting, I am using a Loreal under eye firming jell, it works but the one for my face breaks me out. This stuff isn't cheap! I will try Olay I have to see if it's one I have tried before, I don't drink soda, And I very rarely have any fried foods. I only notice it when I put anything on my face hydrating lotions.

Coconut oil. Inside and out

CeliacSharon beat me to it. Coconut oil. You can use it as a mask overnight, then wash it off in the morning. Maybe use a little bit in the morning too and after it soaks in a bit, apply your make-up as usual.

I use Coconut Oil on my hair.I tried it on my face before and bam zit city. I do not wear make up because every time I do Bam breaks me out. I tried sensitive skin and everything eles. I am not concerned about make up I am more concerned about under eye wrinkles ..

Yes! Coconut oil. 

 

Every lotion and potion you can buy in a store will have some form of preservative, alcohol, silicone, etc., that dehydrates your skin. If you look at the ingredient list you'll find alcohol somewhere at the top. This will dehydrate and irritate your skin faster than any of the good ingredients can do something good for your skin. Dehydrated skin will wrinkle faster, so any lotion, make-up remover or anything else you put on your skin should be free from any damaging ingredients.

 

I just use pure oils for my skin, even to remove my makeup. I will wash my face with water and then use argan oil with a kleenex (coconut oil is solid at room temperature so it is more difficult to apply). It cleans as well as any store-bought thing could and doesn't involve synthetic stuff on my face. Coconut oil is awesome as a shaving cream or as a deep treatment for dry hair.  

 

Play around with different oils like argan, almond, jojoba, olive and also shea and olive butter. You will find something your skin likes.

ok sounds like oil does not work for you.  I sent some other replies from my e-mail but I don't see them here so excuse me if I am  repeating myself. I use honey PURE RAW HONEY and warm it and brush it on with makeup brush or fingers.  I do it once a week but it can be done daily.  I like to do it in the shower or tub because I can be messy.  leave on for a few minutes and rinse with warm water.  It cleans  with out drying or needing a moisturizer and leaves skin looking younger and soft.  If honey makes you swell like it does me but didn't years ago, use the BUCKWHEATHONEY.  it is not a gluten grain, it's just the name of a flower that they pollenate off of, wich is in fact gluten free.   I have also used honey just recently and in the past for a skin growth that looked like not a mole but skin cancer.  I put the honey on it with a bandaid over it for two days and it fell off.  shhhh! don't tell the government or they will outlaw it and kill all the bee's..  that spot came from where I spray perfume and had been using chantily that I just switched too.  Might be  just a coincidence.  good luck

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
