Dr. Hauschka says skip the night cream

I did use the night conditioner, after washing my face at night and no conditioner. My face felt sooooo dry at first! I think if you have treated water with chlorine it is hard to adjust to how dry it makes your face. I had to switch to makeup removing, conditioning facial wipes before uing the product at night, this has seemed to solve the problem, and my skin looks really healthy and no more stress breakouts.

Actually esk, I have oily skin and when I started using a moisturizing cream instead of a foamy face wash to cleanse my skin, my oil production went down dramatically. By the way, there are plenty of cures for acne. It's just that each individuals skin reacts differently. There are plenty of natural products, medications, and lifestyle changes out there. Everyone just has to find it for themselves. Plus there are plenty of medications for which the precise action in the body is not known. I've actually tried not putting on a night cream. I thought my face would look like crap in the morning. ^__^ It didn't, it looked airbrushed! Usually it looks soft and squishy like there's a residue from lotion on it. Not a real disaster but not great, I thought that's how it's supposed to look. Now it looks soft and smooth. You just have to experiment with different things to find out what works best for you. P.S. I saw a woman who helped formulate Dr.Hauschka's products--she's over 90 and doesn't look it, so I'm not so quick to throw away the advise of my elders. (especially when they look that good for their age!) lol

That is a total BS! If Hauschka was right, people with oily skin just have to put some light moisturizer at night to "send a signal to sebaceous glands to cut down on moisture production" and make their skin more towards normal. I use moisturizer every night and have to assure you my skin is NOT drier or even less oily than normal. Dermatology is underdeveloped science and most of the time they have no idea how the skin interacts with topicals. Proof: no cure of acne or rosacea except accutane and even in the case of accutane they are 'not sure' of the exact mechanism of action of the drug. It's time dermatologists focus or real research instead of publishing nonsenses like Hauchka just because they wan't to get public.

This makes SO much sense! We're so caught up in trying to always "fix things" with lotions, potions, gadgets, & gizmos that we forget that our own bodies are giant repair factories. Given half a chance, our bodies do a pretty darn good job of repairing things without a lot of intervention. Not to say that a little help now and then isn't welcome, but we're in the "over-do it" mode most of the time. Give your body a break once in a while!
