Thank you soooo much! I’m so glad I found this support group. I don’t know anyone else who has this so have no one to compare notes with. Stay well everyone!

By chile I just mean dice up a chile and toss it in whatever you’re cooking. If I ate only what i was supposed to all the time + no alcohol, no caffeine, no gluten, etc I wouldn’t need to but I do consume all these aggrevators – even though I eat pretty healthily really. I found that when I ate chile regularly my skin was better (because of how it cleans you out) but obviously you don’t want to become addicted to this cycle. HOnestly I only have chile once a month or so but even then it helps. The bowel is the key to every skin issue I think. Probiotics are great for that too but I can never seem to keep consistent with them even though they do a world of good as far as restoring intestinal flora.

for a couple of months now–again I haven’t been using the Toner, instead substituting the Neutrogena, which is $6 instead of $25+ or whatever…it all works great for me. I also use the sun block.

Miss Echo, how long have you been using the Cindy Crawford line?

Sag is right! I would not do IPL again. It caused major sagging changes in my skin–not good.

Thank you Colleen. I do have a somewhat irritable bowel so I will focus on cleaning house from the inside out. I also know I need to reduce my caffeine intake. I am not sure how to properly use probiotics but will do the research and give it a try. When you say Chile once a week, what do you mean? Thank you so much for sharing your information.

Honestly think IPL is a waste of money and may even age skin – I noticed I looked different in photos (not in a good way) after my treatment. My skin started to sag and my skin seemed thinner or something. Keep and good clean healthy bowel, eat raw vegetables, lots of olive oil and water with lemon. Chile once a week to clear you out and keep your facial skin nice and clear. Probiotics (a good brand) too. I use Liz Earle face cleanser, toner, moisturiser and weekly exfoliator and it works well. Good luck!

Hi everyone. I have been struggling with rosacea for several years now. I have had four IPL treatments in the past few months and although they seem to help tighten the skin slightly and lightened pigmentations like sunspots, I haven’t really noticed any difference in my skin. Maybe I should buy another round of them but I spent about $4000. I was disappointed because I expected better results. My skin continues to break out regularly and itch and sting.

After trying every sort of skin cleansing system imaginable, I tried the new Cindy Crawford cleanser from Meaningful Beauty. Surprise — it worked better than any other one I’ve used. I use the cleanser, then splash with water, and finish with Nutrogena Alchohol free toner. Have had nearly no skin problems since beginning this regimen.
Highly recommend it!
