Like DJ says, they contain certain chemicals that harm, rather than help, the skin/pores breathe. Just a thought. I'll try to find some more concrete info. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

If you do a Google search on him you'll find all kinds of interesting info. _________________________ Well-behaved women rarely make history. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich http://ruthrainwater.wordpress.com/ http://newbeginningsgratitudejournal.wordpress.com/ http://sablewings.wordpress.com/

DJ Member Registered: 11/22/02 Posts: 1149 Loc: Ohio	I Googled and found that Kevin Trudeau uses questionable advertising practices. However, what matters is the message -- your skin more quickly absorbs chemicals than if you swallow the chemical. Try the saltine experiment. When you pull the cracker out of the mineral oil, it's a crispy as it was when you put it in. It's a clear illustration of what mineral oil can do to your skin because the mineral oil (i.e., petroleum) creates a sort of hermetic sheild over your skin. Remember when the Goldfinger movie came out and learning that if anyone ever actually painted themselves with gold, they'd suffocate to death because their skin couldn't breathe. _________________________ http://dcvance.wordpress.com/

chickadee Member Registered: 09/26/04 Posts: 3910 Loc: Alabama	Holy Moly, it's 9:00 AM and I am still up. I can't sleep at night and I stayed awake ALL day yesterday but I still couldn't get to sleep last night. I don't feel tired but I sure look it. This menopause crap is getting old, pardon the pun. _________________________ chick ~ Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't ~ ~ Prayer is the most we can do for another human being ~

Laurel Registered: 01/10/07 Posts: 431 Loc: Oklahoma, USA	Speakerwoman, can't wait for the new Chicken Soup book. I love them. Dotsie, I use Burt's Bees lotions and potions. They seem to work wonders on my skin and many of them contain shea butter. I am perimenopausal and it hasn't been a picnic. Chick, what keeps you awake? Nightsweats or something else? I have early morning sweats, between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m. It can last an hour or longer. Not fun. I'm having trouble with vaginal drying and yeast infections. I started eating more yogurt and taking Azo tablets. Why don't men have any of these problems? It's just not fair.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Speaker, if any of the women are members of the NABBW, I'll be happy to. Laurel, I'm in a hormonal funk today too. This is my week of blank pills and by the end of the week, I need estrogen. Plus, my uncle died so I am squeezing in the funeral home visits and funeral. He is the eighth of Mom's nine siblings to die. I feel sorry for my one aunt who is the only one remaining. I couldn't imagine losing my three sisters and brother.

gerrbeck Registered: 05/27/07 Posts: 178 Loc: Jacksonville, FL	Okay, yesterday my friend and I were walking and towards the end of our walk we were both complaining about how badly we sweat now. I have noticed over the past year I just sweat so much more than I ever have. It's making me crazy! I'm not too thrilled with the weight gain this year either, but I'm working on that. Has anyone found a deoderant or any other remedy for this problem? gerrbeck

Dancing Dolphin Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 2529 Loc: Southern California	I understand completely! I limit the lotion on my arms and legs, because that tends to make me sweat more for some reason - maybe because it's blocking my pores? There is moisture wicking clothing now; you can find it in sporting goods stores. However, when I play racquetball I sweat like crazy. When I wore a wicking shirt I stayed dry, but I felt a little hotter. Sweat is meant to help you cool off. The clothing doesn't keep you from sweating, it just keeps you dry. Good luck! Kathy
