It's worth every penny - a jar will last you forever since there's no water in it, it's a very concentrated and rich emulsion of natural ingredients. it heals uncomfortable dry patches anywhere on your body, it softens cuticles, it makes a great eye cream when my eyes are irritated by allergies. It is a little rich and heavy for a regular face moisturizer for me (my skin is normal although it's a little dry in the winter), although from time to time if my face is feeling tight I will dab on a little at night.

We should avoid, as much as possible parabens, petroleum, sodium laurel sulfate, and estrogens (several cosmetics and lotions have it). Little by little, we’re poisoning our bodies..is it any wonder breast cancer levels (among other diseases) are at sky high levels? My best friend is also very aware and knowledgeable about this and, recently, she told me about a little known skin care line based on ancient east Indian ayurvedic medicine that is not only effective (in our opinions) but is free of all the toxins that I mentioned above. It’s kind of hard to find their products (or their site for that matter) but try going on www.vysada.com I think this is going to be a pretty popular skin care line one day. -Brit Hi Abi,

But I am slightly disappointed on all of the recommendation for vasaline and olay. Arent Parabens and Petroleum based ingredients in these products proven to be quite toxic and carcinogenic. I hope i won't get a reply back stating that the FDA has passed these products as safe. Apparently, the FDA doesn't take in consideration the accumlitive affect of years of using toxic ingredients on a small level. To prove my point, if people want to check out Tocopheryl Acetate, an ingredient of Olay, out on www.cosmeticsdatabase.com; You will find it at a hazard level of 4 out of 10. Shouldn't the ingredients be a 0? First I would like to say that I am very impressed with all the areas of skin that are discused on this site.

Just read the labels and look for high concentrations of GLA. We've used evening primose oil. We cut the gel pills open and applied it directly to the eczema spots...did not take it internally. It stinks, but, it works. Redness, itching, and heat would go away within 30 minutes. Lotions prescribed by the doctor made it worse. Stay away from anything with lanolin.

My Question revolves around dry, flaky, itchy, discolored skin (all of which wraps around my torso, which never sees the light of day). I have suffered with this for 8 years now and nothing we do has helped. During the Monsoon season it only get's worse. I have been into the Dr. a couple of times, but nothing works. Hi Doc,

We do lotions, creams and steroid creams and shots. My question is I'm wondering if this is just genetic or could some of his meds cause this. He's panpit and on a bunch of hormones, and growth hormone as well. Any connection? Thanks! Susan Hey Doc,
