Trying a new skin treatment?

by

I was just saying on one of my other blogs that my skin has been getting worse and worse lately. I really do think it’s because of a medication that I’ve been taking.

I’m seriously considering either stopping taking the medication that I’ve been taking for my migraines or perhaps trying some new ways of treating my skin problems. I’ve read some zenmed reviews and that’s started me thinking that it might be worth trying zenmed before ditching the migraine medication.

Have you tried Zenmed? If you have, what were your experiences?

Winter Skin problems

by

I was just saying on one of my other blogs that I’m starting to have skin problems again. I don’t know if it’s because of a medication that I’m having or if it’s because it’s winter and the air is so dry and that’s affecting my skin.

Now I’m on the lookout for a good acne treatment. My skin isn’t that bad and I want to keep it that way. I’d hate for my skin to really breakout and become a terrible problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good acne treatment?

Sensitive skin and skin care products

by

I’m trying to find a new skin care treatment. I don’t know why, but over the last year, I’ve had a lot of problems with my skin.

I’ve had a lot more breakouts and blemishes than I ever have. My main problem is that I have very sensitive skin so I can’t use harsh skin treatments to cure any blemishes so I need to find the best natural acne treatment that’s also mild or easy on sensitive skin.

I was wondering if any of you also have sensitive skin and blemishes? What kind of products do you use to treat your skin and or prevent break outs? Any suggestions?

I lost a little bit more weight

by

I think I’m getting closer to my clothing shopping spree. I saw my doctor earlier this week and as usual she weighed me during the appointment. Why she weighs me at every single appointment I don’t know … I’ve been seeing her since 2006 and I see her almost every single month – do you know how many times that means she’s weighed me?

LOL It’s not like there’s been a lot of changes in my weight either – until recently.

Ever since I started taking that migraine medication at the end of August I’ve been losing weight. It’s probably because it has a side effect of making some foods taste different or awful. By this I mean I can’t drink carbonated drinks anymore and anything really sweet tastes salty. So it’s no wonder I’m losing weight. LOL

I’ve lost 3 more pounds in the last three weeks. Not a lot. It’s slowing down because I’m trying to eat more even if I don’t feel hungry. I’ve lost more than 15 pounds now though. Hmmm if this keeps up I might be looking for some kind of stretch mark cure ’cause I’m sure that stretch marks are going to start showing if I keep losing weight like this.

Giving myself an at home facial treatment

by

I’m on a mission this evening. My husband is out of town and won’t be back until 10:30 pm or later so I have the house to myself.

I have to admit I’m a little bored.

Anyway … I’ve been having some problems with my skin lately. I hate to mention it, probably because I’ve always had fairly clear skin, but something is going on and my skin is breaking out more often lately. Maybe my body is going through some hormonal changes or maybe it’s the new medication I’m taking that’s causing my skin to break out … either way, I’m not happy.

So this evening I’m 1. Doing some research on the best acne products to use on my sensitive skin and 2. Going upstairs to the bathroom to give myself a home facial.

I have a mask treatment upstairs that I’m thinking of trying. It’s a gentle mask that doesn’t dry out the skin. Hopefully it helps my skin and doesn’t irritate it more.

Have you ever experienced a sudden outbreak of blemishes? What kind of treatments have you tried and did they work?
