AS Profile

I have about 4 decades of fascination with and experience of cosmetics.
I am a homeopath for over 20 years, so I have an interest in health, and problem solving!

A while back I had very severe sun allergic eczema, which I am now fully cured of (Thanks to me, see above).
During that time I had to be really careful of what skin care products I used, and I had to find moisturisers which not only were least likely to aggravate, but were best for soothing and deeply moisturising.

As a Beautyheaven Trial Team member, I was most fortunate to be sent a Prevage serum for sun damaged skin. It was just what I needed at the end of several years of the worst eczema (on face and far beyond) imaginable, which had left my face reddened and with some deep "suffering" lines which I never had before. This product returned my face to normal. No discolouration at all, and the deep lines gone.

I also discovered Creme de La Mer during that time, as I needed a heavy moisturiser with reparative properties, especially around the eyes.

I prefer high end skin and hair products with no irritating perfumes, sometimes a hint of essential oils as in the Aveda range.

For every day, I can't be without Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturiser. Invaluable for very dry to normal skin.

I am interested in high tech serums and skin care, hair removal devices, eye liners, brow colour and mascara for fine lashes and sensitive eyes. I have never used false lashes and would like to try.

I am interested to try Dermalogica skin care for the first time, and similar brands without synthetic perfumes added. I also avoid citrus oils in skin care, due to sensitivity.
