Date: July 30, 2007 04:17AM Hello
Is it possible to have a face breakout due to massage oils/body butter ( organic, vegan, cold pressed) used on the body-excluding the face. I notice that I`ve had breakouts on my face a few times in the last few months and it just so happened to be around the time I massage body butters and oils on the rest of my body.Is there, could there be any connection?? Thanks. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/30/2007 04:22AM by vegangoddess. Re: skin breakout help

It's possible the natural fragrance in the massage oils and butters are causing an acme-like allergic reaction, or that the oils and butters you are choosing to use on your skin are too heavy for your skin type.
the one oil i have had success in using to moisturize my skin which is very compatable with all skin types ( and can be used all over the body as well as the scalp and hair) is organic jojoba oil. I have never added any essential oils to it, but i am sure you could add a few drops of pure essential lavender oil to the jojoba oil for a soothing skin combination if you like scented products. peace love joy i breathe in i breathe out Bikini Re: skin breakout help - 2

Try washing your hands immediately after applying your body stuff and experiment with what happens.... Re: skin breakout help

after awhile of using any particular product you should find out how much is just enough and then you wont waste it wiping it off ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist  Re: skin breakout help

Date: August 03, 2007 03:19AM Yeah, definitely. I just had a facial and my aesthetician was like, "Ok, what's going on here? back in April you had nearly perfect skin, and now you have alot of breakouts." Well we determined that it was the new sunscreen I had been using, Banana Boat, which she said is known to be very pore clogging (it says non-comedogenic on the bottle!)... she said use Neutrogena. I said that's what I always used to use. So I'm back to Neutrogena now.
Also I've been moisturizing with olive oil on my face for years, the key is to make sure your skin is wet before applying any oil, so the oil won't clog your pores or feel greasy. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 08/03/2007 03:24AM by sunshine79. Re: skin breakout help

Date: August 03, 2007 01:54PM i used to moisturise with olive oil but the acidity was burning my face. So now I'm using almond oil. Coconut oil didn't work for me. I would like to try olive oil again. Do you use ordinary olive oil? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
