Makeup

What do you all use for makeup if any? I was using this one kind but I think it's making things worse. I read about Afterglow Cosmetics. They look great but pricey. I don't need a lot, just a light foundation or a tinted moisturizer or something. I've been using Carmex on my lips which seems to be great but my face with dh on my cheek looks kind of bad.

I got the Afterglow & love it! I don't put it on very often but it does a great job of covering up my "sun spots" or liver spots or whatever you want to call them & I have some VERY dark ones on a VERY pale face. I got just one of their little starter kits so I could try it w/o sinking tons of money into it. The starter kit has no shadow or mascara but has foundation & blush. It feels very light to me & I can't stand make up that I can *feel* on me. I can wear this all day & forget I even have any on. It stays on well too & doesn't migrate into your wrinkles. Soon I will get some shadow & mascara from them. I think the starter kit was $68 incl. s&h. You get plenty in it.

And they have a great return/satisfaction policy!

When money isn't so tight, I will have to order some Afterglow. It looks great. For now I am using Neutrogena tinted moisturizer. It's so so.

      Reese's Plant Based PeanutButter Cups are made with non-Gluten Free Oats and only states on the package Dairy Free.  Is it safe for Celiacs or those with Gluten Intolerance issues to consume?  I think Mars is taking a small step in the right direction concerning food allergies and wish they were Gluten Free.

      These items are on sale for $3.99 at Target: Choose from Choclate Chip, Grahams or Vanilla Wafers.   I purchased all 3 plus an extra Choclate Chip.  All are produced in a dedicate Gluten & Peanut Free Facility and other choices are available on amazon.com.

      I had these for years, covered in scars from them. Not had any since I started taking reishi and cordyceps tincture, they’re immune modulators, I think that’s how they work. Most of my other symptoms have also disappeared, I take a treble dose if I get glutened and it’s almost an instant fix, 3 days of mild symptoms instead of 3 weeks of horrible. Might be worth a try, don’t be put off by the caterpillars, I think they’ve found a different way of growing them now.

      Welcome to the forum, @LookingForAnswers101, I had similar experiences with boil outbreaks in the same areas.  Mine was caused by Candida Albicans and eating a diet too high in sugar and simple carbohydrates.   Candida is a yeast infection, so the antibacterial wash is not going to help.  I had to change my diet to a Paleo diet before it went away.  If I consume high levels of sugar or other simple carbohydrates (rice, corn, dairy, etc.), boils would occur at pressure points like the groin and back of the legs.  Your doctor might be able to prescribe an antifungal medication, but some of those antifungal medications destroy thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to keep fungal and bacterial infections in check.  I took Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, but TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) will work, too.   Thiamine, and the other B vitamins, especially Niacin and Biotin, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D will help keep skin healthy.  Be sure to address these nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac! Ask your doctor to rule out autoimmune hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Human Papilloma virus, too.   Hang in there!  You'll get over this rocky patch of the journey!  Best wishes! P. S.  Get checked for Type Two Diabetes as well.  Candida, type two diabetes and a high carbohydrate diet often go together.  A Paleo diet really helps me with my Type Two Diabetes and Candida overgrowth.

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.
