Just a quick note to tell you all to check out the new guide to natural skin care from a pair of GOOD mag editors. I can’t fully recommend it yet, because it’s still on my nightstand (boo!), but they put up a great Q and A with the authors on Time’s website. I’m intrigued because the interview talks about quitting use of glycolic and other AHAs because of skin sensitivity, and these products are something I’ve recommended to my consultation and facial clients with acne-prone skin. I’ve already had one client have a reaction after several months of using malic acid products (characteristic little red bumps on the forehead), and now I have another client whose skin is freaking out and I’m suspecting that maybe she’s got a sensitivity, too… More investigation needs to be done on my part, so stay posted.
And while you’re reading, check out Newsweek’s beauty issue online. Great stuff in there, recommended by the author of the excellent blog Beauty Schooled Project.http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=thesk0f-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0738213969&fc1=000000&IS2=1<1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr
