New to group. Help with Perioral Dermatitis?
As stated above. I’d had it for over 5 years. Switched to all natural
skincare, toothpaste, and mineral makeup but has only helped a little bit.

Many times nutritional deficiencies are the root cause of this rather than
toothpaste. That was the case with me. Most noteable are B2, B3 and folic acid
when it comes to perioral dermatitis. However, I am not recommending that you
run out and by a synthetic B vitamin pill, thinking this will help. It is best
to get your nutrients from food sources. Email me if you would like to receive
my Natural Skin Care Solutions protocol.

p.s. If you are using a mineral makeup that contains bismuth oxychloride, that
could be causing the irritation as well. Monave is a mineral makeup that does
not contain this ingredient. I have my own mineral makeup line as well that is
free of Bismuth oxychloride.

I can tell my diet has been a problem and I’ve been working on
changing it. Not that I eat lots of junk or processed foods but that
I’m sensitive to things like grains, wheat and dairy, red meat and
pork. I’m aiming for a Paleolithic type diet except I don’t eat
certain kinds of meat (chicken is alright but it has to be organic and
free range. I’ll only eat little amounts of fish because of the levels
of mercury). I think I have Celiac Disease because I have every
symptom except for one. Though I suppose I should get confirmation
from someone on that.
For skin care and makeup I am extremely picky. I know quite a bit
about good and bad ingredients. I wash my face with black soap and
moisturize with unrefined jojoba oil or shea butter. But I’m finding
the black soap is making my skin dry so I only use it to take off
makeup. I’m looking for another cleanser made for sensitive skin.
I get my makeup from corycosmetics.com. It’s pretty good though it
doesn’t stay on my skin when it gets a little warm out (and it’s the
best I’ve tried). I’ve tried Monave but it didn’t work for me. I’ve
actually been thinking of experimenting with making my own makeup
because nothing I’ve found so far is exactly what I want. Though I’d
be interested in seeing what you have. Do you have a website?

Can you recommend any good substitutes for rice powder? Arrowroot?
Real black soap only has roasted plantain skins, cocoa pod, palm
kernel oil, coconut oil, palm oil & natural sodium. Though it’s still
drying my skin.

Serecite. It is a fluffy white mineral and contains no starch. Arrowroot and any
other root or grain will have starch in it.
Yes, black soap is very pure, but it is soap, and all soaps have an alkaline pH
and strip away the protective acid mantle of the skin. That is why your skin
feels fry. Especially if while making the soap, they remove the vegetable
glycerine from the mix. Then the soap is even more drying and alkaline.

I know processed micas aren’t good for sensitive skin. What about
serecite? Is it any different because it’s untreated?
February 1st, 2006 at 10:50 am
Yes, serecite is a fluffy white mineral that is not processed in any way.
Titanium dioxide is another, but because of its opacity, it could make your face
look chalky if used alone. Serecite is translucent enough to use as a powder
without making you look like a ghost. Micas are fine for the skin unles they are
coated with irritating substances.
