Yes, I agree with J.! Arbonne is amazing...the RE9 day cream and night cream should help you! And, it is very gentle, so it shouldn't burn or cause any reaction! Check it out at www.arbonne.com!

Good luck!

The DFW Celiac support group has a list of acceptable moisturizers for those with CD: http://www.dfwceliac.org/html/skin___body_care.php

Also, adding some Essential Fatty acids to your diet will help your dry skin. I take Fish Oil regularly but if you can't tolerate that try Flax seed oil. I used to have outrageously dry skin, but since going GF and adding the EFAs, I rarely need to use moisturizers.

Also, if you've not done so, you should have your two daughters screened for CD as it is a genetic disorder. I didn't find out that I had it until I was 42 and my boys were 8 and 10 1/2. It turns out they both have it as well and they've done tremendously better healthwise since switching to the GF diet. The sooner you catch it the better as the chances for autoimmune disorders associated with this disease increase the longer you continue consuming gluten. You could first do the genetic test and see if they have the genes.

Arbonne! I've used the rest and Arbonne is the BEST!
I recommend the NutriminC RE9 day cream and night cream. They are amazing.

I know exactly what you mean J.! When I moved to Texas from Oregon, my face seemed to immediately dry out and all of my "fine" lines turned into wrinkles! :( I am only 30, and didn't think I was ready for anti-aging skincare products yet, but I had a friend who introduced me to Arbonne's NutriMinC RE9 anti-aging skincare line. It is by far, the best out there! I love the Eye Cream and Night Cream. But, the system seems to work best for me when I use each step. I'll never go back to anything else. If you're interested, you can learn more at www.mandyolsen.myarbonne.com. Good luck!

What ever moisturizer you decide on, and there are plenty of good ones out there, I recommend cleaning your face with a product that does not make suds. I am convinced that soaping products dry the heck out of your skin. There is amazing product by Neutrogena that is about 14.00 for a tiny tube and it is an undereye moisturizer/cream.
Results are amazing after using it for about five days. I swear it has a healing aspect about it!
Good luck with this. I too suffer from dry skin on my face.

Hi J.,
I have used the Mary Kay Night Time Emollient and it is good. It does feel a bit oily. But maybe that would be good for you.

I'm a paralegal, but I sell BeautiControl too because I love the products. I have a sample of our Heavy Duty Moisturizer for the face. You can try it for free.

I don't know about Celiac Sprue so you might want to ask your doctor if there's anything you should not use.

Email me if you want to try the moiturizer.

My intent really is not go give you a sales pitch... but for EXTREMELY dry skin, I have a Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream usually used on hands, but I think it will do the trick. It contains beeswax and natural oils to help protect, condition and seal in moisture. It is from the old Classis Basic line and is only $11.00 (because the new TimeWise line is more popular) They also make an Extra Emollient Creamy Cleanser if you need! As always, Mary Kay offers a 100% money back guarantee and I don't hassle you with house calls I will just ship it to your house with a stamped return envelope for a check to come back to me :-)

Good Luck with you shin problems... I know how terrible this can feel!

J.,

My first thought is Mary Kay. I think they are the BEST! I have a sample tube of the Extra Emollient Night Cream someone mentioned. I'll be glad to give it to you. If you want it, please contact me and I'll ship it to you or bring it to you.

If you want to try Arbonne, I have a friend who sells it and I can give you her phone number if you call or email me.

Hope this helps.
