Hi peeps, wondering if anyone knows if face creams with soya oil or wheat germ oil are ok to use when omitting these foods in diet for Hashimotos ? Or best avoided ?

Trying to find the right natural face cream for my rapidly sagging face !

- Do you ever catch your reflection and wonder who that old bag lady is ??!!!

Do you ever catch your reflection and wonder who that old bag lady is ??!!!

Every day, I try not to look now :D

Oh dear, I had a landmark birthday recently, I am an OLD bag lady :(

Sorry, I can't help with your question about cream, I have my own favourite organic moisturiser and it doesn't contain it. I think Nivea Soft came out tops in a recent test (beating all the very expensive ones) if you want to check that out.

Haha, yes I'm rapidly approaching the big 50 ! and really noticing the ' invisible ' factor lately, was standing in a shop the other day looking at phones, and the assistant asked the guy next to me if he needed help and ignored me, damn cheek, well they lost a sale!

Whats the organic one you use?, I found a good organic one by Lavera, with Q10, but will check the Nivea too, cheers Susie :)

This is the one I use organicsurge.com/products/s... but I compare prices, got a super bargain just before Christmas, around £8 a jar and a pop up discount came up with the site I was looking on and I got them just over £6 each. Ebay not bad at the moment ebay.co.uk/itm/Organic-Surg...

I avoid gluten / wheat products in skin products.

I used to use Dr. Hauschka (dr.hauschka.com/en_GB/) but for the last few months have been using stripped skincare (strippedskincare.co.uk/)

Not what you're looking for?
