Oh please don't get me
Oh please don't get me started :) I have been researching natural skin care for the past two months and boy is it tough when we are this limited. The best is a clean micro-fiber cloth with or without your cleanser and gentle circular motions. I plan to get a chlorine filter for my shower because chlorine really disrupts the acid mantle. I sometimes bring a small bowl of spring water into the bathroom sink so I don't have to use chlorinated water.
Some people tolerate a clarisonic face brush. I use mine occasionally but not on active acne.
List 3 you can add a greek yogurt face mask. Don't leave on too long. Maybe 15 minutes. The lactic acid really exfoliates. Avocado makes a nice mask. White rice powder can be mixed with milk or yogurt/avocado to make a scrub. Also almond flour (I like Honeyville as it is less coarse than Bobs)

Hi Research nerd!!
Hi Research nerd!!
The salt crystals have jagged edges (read about this and also saw it under my neice's microscope this summer ;) so if you have sensitive skin, use with caution. Also, jojoba and olive have a high comedogenicity rating (they can clog!) so not ideal for acne prone skin unless you get it ALL off afterwards!

This is even supposed to be helpful with cellulites on the legs :)
Mimi, have you tried Briar
Mimi, have you tried Briar Rose oil?? ( aceite de rosa mosqueta), It's exfoliative and don't make me flare. I put it everywhere, and in some scars and they have disapeard. It's natural. I don't know if they allowed it but it works fine for me.
Hi Nur!
Hi Nur!
Thats sounds promising! Do you have acne? If so, does the oil clog your pores?
How often do you use it? Do you put it on an take it off? Or do you wear as a moisturizer?
Thanks for any more thoughts!

Oh, just found this link.
Oh, just found this link. Looks like rose oil is good for lots of things, but can make acne worse

Anyone reading this should be super cautious with essential oils. Nur, if you are still symptomatic with your IC, I would consider taking the rose oil out for a few days to see if it improves your symptoms. It is loaded with vitamin A and other anti-oxidants which can make our IC worse :( After treatment I am really going to get into the essential oils. They are awesome and so wonderful for skin. I wished I had known about them years ago. I could have cured my acne without harsh topicals. Now I have to avoid nearly every essential oil (but Lavender was approved for me by Dr. B!)

Hi Mimi,
Hi Mimi,
I am doing so well!! 9th august I finish chemo (only 2 more dosis of treatment, I did 14 by now) !! My doctors think I'm in cancer remission but they have to make me some exams for know for sure, but they are happy. I'm happy but cautelous, I want to have it write in paper first, just for belive it ejejje Thanks to this website, I searched a chinesse doctor in BCN, and I'm doing cancer treatment with him at the same time of conventional treatment. It has help me a lot with managment of symphthoms ( since I'm in tretament with him NO more vomits anymore, wow). He gave me a treatment for IC at the same time, and I'm doing well. I do a diet too ( no sugar, no gluten, no pork, no lactose, no tomatoes). In IC I have every day 1-3 hours without simpthoms, I think I am healing of this too. Slowly but doing it. I am putting a lot of effort and I have all my mind in my recovery. My doctor gave my the rose oil because with chemo my skin was awfull and they were afraid that my skin will be forever with scars. So I think he gave me because he thought it's better a little Ic flare than a whole live with scars ejjeje But it didn't make me flare ( I supouse It's because I can tolerate it) and for now I have no scars, and my skin looks beautiful ejjeje I will write more when I finish chemo but I'm doing soo well thank god.

Ella, ask Dr B if you can use
Ella, ask Dr B if you can use full-fat yogurt as a mask. She often allows it vaginally for people who are not on list 3 yet. So it would be a nice lactic acid exfoliating treatment for you!
