My allergist gave me a patch test last week to see if I am allergic to formaldehyde. The patch was very negative so I can still wear nail polish!!!! I am going to go out and buy some formaldehyde free top and base coat. I already have a few OPI colors and OPI is formaldehyde free, so I'll be ok for now. My mom came with me to the appointment and was talking to the doctor about what this could be. She mentioned my addiction to chap stick. He told me to stop using it immediately and he's seen many people get irritated by it. I haven't worn chap stick since last Tuesday and my face is completely clear. I am freaking out because I hate chapped lips but I have to get over it.
H and I were planning to go away this week, but couldn't find a good deal. Saturday we were on Jet Blue getaways and found an amazing, can't pass up deal to Vegas. We're leaving Wednesday and will be back next week. I am so excited to get away, soak up some sun and relax with my H.
Re: Nail polish
Yay for nail polish!! Boo for chap stick!! Is it the brand or is it an ingredient in it that might be causing the problem? I used to use chap stick alot and then when I gave it up, my lips weren't as chapped as I thought they were. I really think there is something in chap stick that makes you lips chapped. Its a conspiracy.
You are so lucky that you get to go on a vacation!! I hope you have a great time and win lots of money.
Great news about the nail polish!
Can you try something like vaseline on your lips if they get really chapped?
Have fun in Vegas, I hope you guys have a relaxing trip!
I found some blog about a girl who was allergic to chap stick. She said it started with Burts Bees but she gets a reaction from everything she's tried. I'm going to give this like a month, then look into something natural to use.
Thanks for the vacation well wishes!
Good news for nail polish.
I'm a total chapstick addict too! I think I would lose my mind. I've used lotion before, because I just can't stand not having anything, and I was out of chapstick. It actually worked, it's just a little weird. Maybe you can do that?
