After a while, my legs became unbearably dry and itchy. It took a while to figure out that all the body wash & lotion I used were to blame.

I worked at Bath and Body Works for several years (I'm sorry to say) and it didn't take long to realize that the stuff you buy there is the same as the stuff at the grocery store, but with excessive fragrance. The junk may smell good at first, but actually using it may make people sick. At least, I feel a little sick when people at the hotel bathe in fragrance. And most of those chemicals damage your skin more than they help it. The only products at BBW that ever really worked without causing long-term irritation were those that were naturally-based. But those were crazy expensive and still full of chemicals. Natural products also tend to NOT strip your skin of natural oils the way that so many commercial products do, which forces your skin to overcompensate with oil production, causing you to rely more heavily on MORE commercial products. <br /><br />Sorry. I've clearly thought too much about this. Love your ideas here - I'll have to look up that book. Thanks!<br />DaisyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
