Subject: [rosacea] LindaSy soap and oil progress
Hi Linda and those watching the trials.
I started a bit late on the superfatted soap and oil because I was on
holidays but wanted to keep up with the rest of the trial. I have been
using them now for 5 days.
My main comment is that I seem to be enjoying some reduced redness and
better looking skin as a result of the oil and soap. I normally use a pH
neutral soap (ego bath wash) just to be gentle and no moisturiser as such.
The oil is not as greasy after a few minutes as I had thought, my skin is
softer than before which is not too suprising considering I don't normally
use a moisturiser, but I'm seeing less redness and more normal looking pink
skin poking through on my nose where the rosacea is present. I use the
rosacea-ltd disks in the morning and night on top of the oil which feels a
bit strange but so far hasn't changed the effectiveness of the disks - and
may even be helping the skin not get too dry from the disks.
The soap feels gentle but soap hasn't really been a problem in the past
because I don't seem to react to them. Although I may be reacting but not
realise.
One thing I am beginning to notice is that the first time for years I'm
getting some blackheads on my nose. This was impossible for years and years
because you couldn't see any pores. My guess is that the rosacea-ltd has
sorted the pores out and now they are getting clogged. Not a hassle really
but very strange for me.
I don't normally talk about myself in such detail, honest, but here I have
to !
I'm suprised and delighted enough to keep using the soap and oil to see if
any more improvement is possible.
