Vildy: HAAAA great to read your posts! You know, I love Ponds Cold Cream, the cucumber one, in the jar. It is a superb makeup remover with a nice hot wash cloth! Thx for the mention of that! I bet your skin is naturally gorgeous! The hot sun really wrecks havoc on my skin! All my Swedish relatives in Sweden have this fair translucent skin, and mine has some freckles and some dark spots, but pretty much since I was 28, and became an Esthetician, I've taken really good care of my skin, decided I didn't ever want to be tan any longer, like in my younger years, always wore sunblock, and I think I do look much younger than my 60 GASP years. lol

Vildy, I used Ten-O-Six Lotion when I was younger. It was great for my skin. Then they changed it. Too bad.

So many skin products including so-called 'natural ones' have fragrance in them.

I cannot rave enough about the Chanel toners They are such a dream on your dressing table and smell so good. I highly recommend them!
StyleFan: I could never use any product that didn;t have a nice fragrance as that's half the joy in cleansing your skin!

for me I have to tell you that I have big skin problems I have psoriasis on the legs and arms I have to pass a vitamin d3 ointment and cortisone two to three times a day I have to moisturize my skin with a medical idraent cream. for the shower I use only alep soap for me the winter is a great suffering a lot of itches.

Je vois souvent des annonces pour un médicament appelé Humira (adalimumab) pour le psoriasis. Avez-vous déjà essayé, Bernard? J'admets que les mauvais effets possibles sont très sérieux, donc je ne voudrais pas forcément le prendre. Mais c'est une pensée.

Violettt, I get the Missha Sun Milk on Amazon. Sometimes (about once a year) I place an order on RoseRoseShop. They are based in Korea and their prices are amazing (and choices too); you pay for shipping by weight on a step scale, and they have a calculator that helps you figure out the most value-effective amount. So I've also gotten the Missha Sun Milk from them.
PS. I have a similar experience as you do with sunblock. I grew up in Brazil, where everybody tans. I moved to the US at 25, to a cold snowy place, and (not by choice) didn't have that much access to sun. At that age I also began using a daily SPF lotion. Now when I visit my friends in Brazil I see the difference...

Merci Rachylou je dois bientôt me rendre au service de dermatologie de l'hôpital de l'Isle à Berne pour y rencontrer un professeur en dermatologie
