Has anyone ever used Bare Minerals makeup?

Yes, I have.  It's not my favorite line of mineral makeup, though.\n\nbareMinerals (or Bare Escentuals by i.d. Cosmetics) is one of the more expensive lines of mineral makup.  It also contains an ingredient - bismuth oxychloride - that causes itchiness in many women, myself included.  That is the same ingredient that gives the signature "BE glow" that some wearers like; I don't.  I am naturally oily and am therefore not a fan of shiny makeup.\n\nI do like that Bare Escentuals (and mineral makeup in general) creates a flawless finish without being heavy or greasy, so I do recommend trying mineral makeup.  Most companies have sample sizes available (at VERY reasonable prices!) for testing and color matching.  Always buy samples before committing to a line or color.

My husband is not one.  He met me with my "natural face" and fell in love with me anyway.  I do not wear make-up, and I do not "shave".  Neither does he.\n\nNeither one of us understands why people would want to smear animal by-products or chemicals on their bodies, or scrape sharp metal blades across their skin.  UGH!

If you cant use mary kay because its abrasive you were probably using our Timewise 3 in 1 cleanser.  Try our classic basic line its great for sensitive skin and the exfoliating step is separate.  This way if that is too much for your skin you can simply skip it or do it once a week instead of every day.  \n\nAlso try the Timewise day and night solution they are great for reducing pore size and have vitamins A C and E in it.  If you are allergic to SPF you cannot use the day solution.  go to www.MaryKay.com and type in your zip to find a consultant near you who will let you try before you buy.  \n\nMegan\nwww.MaryKay.com/MeganHill

I have heard that some people use a vinegar rinse, which we know works on removing mineral deposits on coffee pots and humidifiers. I know it smells awful, but maybe if, after pouring a cup on your hair, leaving it on for about 5 minutes, rinsing then shampooing twice, it might not be so bad. Do this treatment once a month, before perming, or before coloring your hair. I used to have well water, but I used a commercial de-mineralizer to remove the minerals before I dyed or permed my hair. Check with your local hair salon for what they use. I know they're pricey, but it smells better than vinegar. Aussie brand used to have a citrifier, which is a de-mineralizer, but it has been removed from the market (bummer...it worked really good too). I checked on the internet with Aussie and they said they won't be replacing it (bigger bummer). It was very low priced too. Hope this helps. <*)))><

I have not tried and would never try it. \n\nThe FDA's position is colloidal silver or silver salts are not recognized as safe and effective and are misbranded.  \n\nAnd I really would not enjoy spending the rest of my life with a purplish colored skin (argyria).\n\nCheck out what quackwatch has to say:\n\nhttp://www.quackwatch.org/search/webglimpse.cgi?ID=1&query=colloidal+silver\n\nMy rule of thumb: the more diseases/disorders a product claims to "cure", the bigger the fraud.

I'm on the search for the same thing. I tried Jergensen's Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer, and it sucked with a capital S. It turned me orange, came off on my clothes, and smelled bad. Also, when i exfoliated w/ a washcloth, the ENTIRE tan came off. Seriously, it was supremely weird. Just thought I should warn you off that one . . .\nlol, good luck.

No, I haven't used it, but I have wanted to try it instead of surgery.  I wish I knew it worked, but I don't.  I think I'm going to order some to see if it works.

My Mom used plain caster sugar and now I am too and it scrubs well without hurting my skin. Don't use coarse sugar just plain old caster sugar when you are in the shower. I also use it to scrub the rest of my body. Exfoliates naturally without causing any reactions to chemicals as well as destroying your skin.\n\nHope this helps. Makes your skin glow! Oh yes, apply toner and moisturiser soon as you get out of the shower! it helps as well. Don't wait too long. Use once a week. Please don't over-exfoliate.\n\nHave fun.

i've been using it and haven't had a problem (my sister didn't like it for your same reason).  i don't use it as my main moisterizer though.  i put a light layer of lotion on first, then the natural glow, then my reular lotion.  so i don't use TONS each time.  just maybe a pump for legs, and a pump for arms.  i haven't heard anything about other lotions....also be sure to wait a bit before dressing.  just another reason to walk around your room naked!  haha

I've never even heard of it. I use her exercise vids, and I think they're brilliant, so going by those, her face thingy should be just as good. Keep going. Let us know how it goes.

Personally, I don't care for Dove products....I don't like any of them!  (My mom swore by them, however)  I can't say how well clean and clear works, since I've never used that product line, but I love Acne Free!  It's available at Wal Mart, is comparable to Proactiv, and costs less.

Lots of water and antioxidants Vitamin A , C, and E. Use an exfoliator for the face twice a week and day and night creams. Don't forget sun block. For a make-up tip use bronzer on the cheekbones, top of forehead, nose and chin. Then use a shimmery highlighter just above the cheekbone, under the brow-bone and right next to the tear duct and on your collar bone.\n\nUsing mineral powder foundation isn't as masky as liquid foundation and gives a nice glow also. I like Loreal's Bare Naturale. It is $15 but Walgreens and CVS put it on sale buy one get one free all the time.
