What Is Your All Time Favorite Skin Care/makeup

OKAY! So now that I have made the connection between food and body issues/behaviour, now the little lightbulb is going off and I am realzing that all those cleaners/moisterizers/ have chemicals that are soaking in to my body!!!!Anyway..I've searched the boards and found several choices but still wondering what is the favorite out there?

I'm looking at the mineral stuff, bare and everyday as well as Mychelle and afterglow but I'm not sure how they compare price wise and size, customer service wise, and how well the skin care actually works (I've been using clinique/oil of olay for years and I won't even tell how dangerous they were ranked by skni deep)

Thanks

Stacie

I love MyChelle Honeydew Cleanser--I use it every day.

I used to use Bare Escentuals, but it started to make my face itch so I am using Everyday Minerals and like them very much. I use their foundation, blush, lip gloss and concealer.

Another company I really like is Andrea Rose--I use their lip gloss, mascara, and body/hand lotion. I plan on ordering the sunscreen next. I've spoken with Andrea, and she works very closely with the chemist to insure that the products are gluten-free.

Yeah, come join the thread! It's great fun, and as you can see, we are quite fond of the make-up (so much so that we can't seem to shut-up about it. :lol:)

For skin care, I like Aubrey Organics. Mychelle is good too (good, high quality stuff), but I seem to be sensitive to it for some reason (it makes my face bright red). They do have a good sample kit though if you want to check it out.

Giovanni shampoo and conditioner. I use Avalon organic lavender moisturizers and face wash for very sensitive skin. No fragrances, chemicals or gluten. Burts Bees lip shimmers. Isadora mineral powder - 100 minerals (at Walgreens).

I see you've already joined us on the Everyday Minerals thread :D

I have been using the Earth Science skin care line for several years now and I really like the products and how my skin feels. Everything I use is gluten-free and I looked it up over at Skin Deep and the numbers ranged from 2-7 (not particularly happy about the 7 :( , so i will be looking for a new moisturizer)

For make-up I use EM (concealer, foundation, blush, and eye shadows), Ecco Bella mascara (rates a 2 at Skin Deep :)), and Cowgirl lip balm (although they recently went out of business)

I like to use natural things also, I think it's good to get the toxic load down not only in food but with personal care products and cleaning supplies :)

Anyone know of a good sunscreen??

Thanks.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
