What liquid foundations do you like?

I'm looking for a good liquid foundation that is noncomedogenic and has great coverage for acne. I already have a great powder mineral makeup that I custom-blend so I've got that covered. But…Continue

Laura Cooksey replied to Jodi Braun's discussion Vegan diet and Acne in the group Acne Specialists"Yes it is very drying AND the skin will adapt to it if you start your client slowly enough. When the skin adapts to it, it won't be drying, honestly, it won't. By the time your client has active breakouts, it's too…"
Laura Cooksey replied to Jodi Braun's discussion Vegan diet and Acne in the group Acne Specialists"BPO is really not for spot treating.

Laura Cooksey replied to Jodi Braun's discussion Vegan diet and Acne in the group Acne Specialists"hm, peppermint oil is anything but soothing, imo - it's quite a stimulant for skin.
In my experience, in order to get noninflamed acne under control you really need strong products and you really need to push the skin to clear. Start…"

"Thank you, Laura. I will get your DVD, you did a fabulous job!"
Laura Cooksey replied to Laura Cooksey's discussion What liquid foundations do you like?"@Hong - acne doesn't work like that. Breakouts take up to 3 months to occur; and a comedogenic formulation might take up to six months to show up as acne cosmetica. I need to know that the ingredient deck is noncomedogenic."
Kirsten Kayser replied to Laura Cooksey's discussion What liquid foundations do you like?"Hands down, I have to admit, my favorite liquid makeup to date is the brand new one from Image. I don't like many liquid foundations, they're too heavy feeling, or I feel like my skin isn't breathing, or there's too much or too…"

Acne Extractions Demo - Long Beach, Sept 2011
I have the honor of having been invited to speak and give a demo of acne extractions at the general session of the LNE show at Long Beach. It will be September 11, 2011; but I'm not sure of the time yet.
I'm very excited to share my knowledge and experience here. Being an acne clinic owner, I have done thousands of extractions and trained many employees how to do them all day long without hurting themselves or the client. Hope to see you there!

Juliette Zweig said… Thank you, Laura. I checked you out, throughly, (smile) and you really know what you are talking about.
At a future date, I am planning on taking your course. Acne is agony. Especially for teens! I think sometimes parents go through more heart-ache then their kids. I feel so strongly about this population and want to offer “reasonable” rates so parents will bring their kids to me, and not to the derm, who will put them on meds.
Thank you for the welcome note.

linda berry said… I have a client's acne under control, except for big hard bumps that she gets deep under the skin, just on her chin, just one or two at a time. I have her on a bp and glycolic regimen. Any suggestions?

Laura, do derivitives equal the same as the oil itself. Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is the derivitive of coconut and is a top ingred. in a new teen acne product.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you Laura... I actually have been looking at getting the instructional DVD for the past month when I first ran into your clinic through Google. I have had 2 rough months and was hoping to be able to afford it by January. I really want to specialize in acne because I want to be able to help people. So far I have been successful at treating my clients and they always come back but I want to be even more successful and your clinic seems to be exactly what would work for me! I wish I lived a little closer to be able to personally go visit it in person. Maybe I will get the DVD for Christmas ;-) its on my wish list ...
