No fear, I'm not allergic to cashmere. Apparently, I'm not actually allergic to much, except for that beloved conditioner. But I might be reacting to items in combination, or I might just be irritated from too much crap.
And I'm not the only one. After the Wonder Twins mocked my plans for a great product giveaway, saying I should just keep everything and use it again when my skin calms down, Y found this article on The Cosmetics Restriction Diet, where dermatologists are asking their patients to do exactly what I've decided to do on my own.
Me and the Zeitgeist, baby! Also, please note that they featured Cetaphil, my new preferred cleanser.
PS: Funny story about the allergist. When the rash returned, I told him that the only item I'd reintroduced, per his one-new-thing-a-week instructions, was the Differin.
"What's that?" he asked.
"A retinoid, like Retin-A"
"Maggie, why are you using that? You're way too young to be using retinoids already."
"No, doctor, I'm not that young. (he checks my chart.) "I may look it, but that's because I'm using the retinoids!
He laughed and conceded defeat.
