Short story, then longer vent after the cut:
Psych keeps scheduling me for telehealth. Psych changed my meds with little consultation. Psych did this on a Friday and didn’t respond to email or calls (while their office was still open for the day), so I spent the weekend grumpy and stressed about meds. Today I set up an appointment with a different psych (for tomorrow, even! Wow, what god did I please to pull off an appointment that soon?).
Still grumpy. Still stressed.
Anyway, had ANOTHER telehealth appointment with my psych on Friday. I hate telehealth. He kept saying we’d eventually do an in person, but then the session would end and I’d get an email confirmation saying the next one was telehealth. Dumb. My counselor/therapist works in the same office and told me the psych basically just works telehealth from home and sits on his laptop scrolling Fox News. Not a very personable guy, made me feel like I was in the principal’s office in our first meeting, but I’m a pushover and just went along with it.
ANYWAY (another anyway), telehealth appointment, only it’s actually just a phone call bc he can’t get his telehealth to work (second time he hasn’t gotten it to work in two months!). So me with my hearing impaired ass had to suffer through a 20 minute phone call where he was, I can only assume, on speakerphone deep in a cave somewhere. He switched around my meds, one to a dose I didn’t want to be on and another brand new that he DID NOT go over with me. Really, no explanations, just “lemme try to prescribe this new med for you. It’s called brbrbrbr and if I can’t get the pharmacy to approve it, I’ll call you back,” and that was IT. No more details. No going over interactions or side effects. Then he was rushing, saying he was late for another appointment. So we hang up, I start researching the new med and there’s lots of red flags. I email an alternative idea. No response. I call back the office and am told he’s gone and his medical assistant is gone. So… fuck it. Called today and asked to see a new psych. No problemo. New guy is at least recommended by my therapist, so I’m a bit more hopeful. No one needs to or should read this, but I wanted to vent a little.
angery. grumpery, even.
#I just think it’s super shitty to prescribe a new med on a Friday#if there’s an issue I can’t contact you! it’s the weekend!#and you gotta tell me what the med is for and what it does!#you can’t just say ‘take this pill. don’t worry about the side effects or interactions’#seriously. one look at the side effects and I immediately saw issues#‘don’t use it you have a history of BLANK.’ I have a history of BLANK! I have a huuuuge history of BLANK!!#my dude did you even look at my medical history? my current prescriptions?#you don’t want to come into the office? we don’t have to meet there. I’ll go to your house. we’ll do this in the driveway I don’t care#fucking…. butthole#I’m such a pushover and try to make shit like this work and it’s stupid. I’m not asking for a lot here.#whatever.#I could complain all day but it’s probably healthier to move on since I’m already set up to see someone else tomorrow#the counseling place has a kinda ‘if you don’t vibe with this person you can switch easy peasy’ which I’m grateful for#I just wanted a second opinion but they said it has to be a straight up switch and in that instance I was like ‘hell yeah. bye loser.’#I’m not gonna say the new med bc I don’t want this to show up in the tumblr search for it#but it’s a newish drug that’s got dextromethorphan in it#like… I know chemicals do different things and the interactions with the other ingredients changes the effects#but also my roommate in college used to robotrip all the time. and the testimonials online make me nervous.#you can take 10 or so minutes to explain why you want me on this? why you think it might help?#and maybe it would help! I saw some awesome reviews. scary ones too. just… talk to me about it dude. help me trust you here.#the possibility of being high & tripping for days at a time honestly scares me bro. and that’s not even the scary possible side effects#dont get me wrong. weed is 👌. but I’ve had bad experiences. I have worrisome family history. I do NOT want to risk a bad trip#I’m a scaredy cat!#he also lowered my dose of remeron to the sleepy dose and I don’t want that. so hopefully new psych will fix that quick#I said I occasionally get bad anxiety trying to fall asleep & he immediately put me back on the med dose that makes me tired 24/7#like no. I sleep a lot now dude. just sometimes I freak out about suffocating in my sleep.#but… like I’ve been saying… we just aren’t vibin#this is way too much text. wow. I really want to just complain about this all day. therapy is only 3 days away! then I can really complain!#you can ignore this#text

The Ordinary EUK 134 0.1% Serum
Tumblr media
Brand: The Ordinary
Product Type: Serum
Price:  11.10 USD
Size: 1 fl. oz.
✔️Vegan ✔️Clean Ingredients ✔️Cruelty Free ✔️Sustainable Packaging
Star Ingredients:
Ethylbisiminomethylguaiacol Manganese Chloride: A powerful, synthetic antioxidant molecule that also helps reduce redness.
Texture: Thin, oil-like
Feel: A bit sticky
On its own, EUK-134 has a bit of an oily feel, although it absorbs quickly and leaves no more of a residue than a moisturizer would.
Scent: 🌸
Hardly anything.
Results: After I moved to New Mexico, I really struggled with dry skin. I had really only used drugstore products up to that point because it was either that or pay an exorbitant amount to use products from department store brands. I couldn’t afford that, but the drugstore brands just weren’t helping. My skin was dry and stripped, and I didn’t know what to do.
That’s when a friend introduced me to The Ordinary. I’d have to order it online, they said, but at least it was in my budget and wasn’t filled with all that bad crap that was in the drugstore skincare products I was using. I ordered a very simple skincare routine to try them out.
This serum is a powerful, synthetic antioxidant that actually mimics two natural compounds found in our bodies. For those of you who are hesitant to try a synthetic antioxidant, I get it. However, I urge you to at least listen to this lovely video from a chemist explaining what this product is and how it works. Personally, I found this serum to have an immediate effect on how red and agitated my skin was. I like efficiency, so when the description suggested adding a few drops of this to The Ordinary NMF + HA Moisturizer for application, that’s how I primarily used it. 
EUK-134 is a bit fussy. When exposed to UV and air for excessive amounts of time, it can undergo a color change. Some reviewers have found this disconcerting. The color change does not impact the effectiveness of the product. However, if you wish to avoid this, Undercover Chemist suggests storing it in the original box between uses. Personally, I found that storing it in a cool, dark place - like a drawer or a medicine cabinet - worked fine as well. 
Because of its chemical makeup, it also has some stipulations for use. You cannot use this product with copper peptides, direct acids (AHAs like Glycolic Acid, BHAs like Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Azelaic Acid, etc.), vitamin C, or resveratrol and ferulic acids. Undercover Chemist also adds that it should not be used with retinols, as these are also acids. As I said though, I used it with NMF + HA Moisturizer and had no problem with it. I think since Hyaluronic Acid is a different type of acid than those listed above, it doesn’t interact with EUK-134. 
If you love a simple skincare routine, this is an amazing addition to it, and unlike other antioxidants, it works throughout the day, not just at the time of application.
At the time though, when I was considering whether or not to purchase more, I heard some pretty disturbing things about Deciem’s CEO at the time, Brandon Trauxe. That he had made racist and fatphobic remarks. That his behavior was erratic. I decided to try and find other brands.
Years later, we now know that Brandon Trauxe had some sort of drug problem that was causing his incredibly erratic behavior. After his death, former co-CEO Nicola Kilner returned to the company and has done some wonderful work saving both the parent company, Deciem, and their most popular line, The Ordinary. While Trauxe’s death at such a young age is tragic, it’s heartening to know that Kilner has the company in good hands. I, personally, am no longer opposed to buying from them, but I’ve included some resources so you can make your own decision.
Comps: Unfortunately, it does not appear that anyone else is using EUK-134 as an active in their products. 
EUK-134 is owned by Lucas Meyer Cosmetics and, from what I understand, is quite expensive to purchase. This may be the reason why EUK-134 has not caught on with other brands or, perhaps, because it is so restrictive and is destroyed by contact with strong acids, other brands have given it a pass because ultimately, they would not be able to sell you as many products in a skincare routine using EUK-134. 
Whatever the reason, this was currently the only EUK-134-based product I was able to find.
You could try a more common antioxidant ingredient. Vitamin C is probably the most well-known. Vitamin E; Resveratrol; Niacinamide (stay away from the synthetic; that's been proven to have negative health impacts); Retinol, a derivative of Vitamin A; CoQ10; and polyphenols, found in ingredients like green tea, sometimes labelled Camellia (that's tea's scientific name) all are great options for antioxidants.

There was no denying the indisputable chemistry between you both. Everyone could see it. It was pretty difficult to miss, actually, especially when the two of you spent nearly every single lesson at one another’s throats.
“I’m warning you, Weasley -- stay as far away from me as you possibly can. I don’t want you and your misplaced priorities anywhere near me.”
“Wow, it is a pleasure to be insulted by you. Really.”
It all started in your third year. The very misguided and frivolous George Weasley and his brother, Fred, had decided to be prats in your Potions lesson. You’d never really had any interaction with them before that; you were their absolute and complete opposite. You’d preferred to spend most nights borrowing any and all books from the library and reading through them as quickly as you could, or spending your afternoons with the Dueling Club to further your studies with spells, charms, and incantations; whereas the two of them were always setting off fireworks in the Astronomy tower, or whatever the bloody hell two thirteen-year-old pranksters did.
Potions had been normal that day -- Snape had his usual displeased scowl painted on his face, and you were continually checking the clock and counting down the seconds until you could leave and speed off toward your History of Magic lesson. That is, until George had purposefully put the wrong ingredient into his cauldron, causing a spark, resulting in an explosion quite larger than they’d presumed and a ghastly horrible sight: one of your eyebrows burning off completely.
You’d been outraged; while the majority of the class had been too startled and shocked to let a laugh escape their lips, the twins had absolutely no issue erupting into a fit of obnoxious giggles, obviously incredibly pleased at their error. Snape had even cracked somewhat of a grin (if you could consider the edge of his lip slightly curling upward in a sort of mock expression a grin), but he still threw all three of you into detention. You! In detention! For getting your bloody eyebrow burnt off by a juvenile boy!
You and George hadn’t been the fondest of one another since.
In an attempt to separate yourself from him, you’d completely changed course -- McGonagall had been able to help you switch out some of your lessons for others. You didn't really want to take Divination, but if it meant being away from him for an hour and a half of your day, then so be it. You were going to have to be okay with your choices.
Until you heard the sardonic, cool wash of his voice from behind you.
“Fancy meeting you here.”
He sluggishly fell into the seat next to you; (of course, it being the only open spot left as he’d arrived precisely two minutes after the bell signaling the start of the lesson) he propped his feet up on the table in between you both. With your mouth still agape and brows threaded together, you angrily shoved his feet off of the table and slammed your spellbook down in place of them. “What the bloody hell are you doing here?” you huffed, folding your arms across your chest. “Don’t you have somewhere else to be right now? Like setting fire to a third year’s eyebrows? Or detention, perhaps?”
He scoffed airily. “Oh, hilarious, darling -- really; right fantastic joker, you are. No, you see, contrary to popular belief, I don’t spend every waking hour cleaning out cauldrons, or --”
You cut him off, “Oh, and here I was thinking that you’d make a perfectly adequate cauldron cleaner if a full time opportunity were to present itself.”
He didn’t skip a beat. “-- or setting fire to third year’s eyebrows.”
“No?”
“No,” he replied throatily. And then, that all too familiar smirk of his. “Only to those who deserve it.”
You were about to snap back with some snarky retort, but thankfully Trelawney’s very soft-spoken voice floated through the room and managed to calm you down a bit. It didn’t stop you from sneering at George completely though, as he relaxed back into his chair and grinned to himself like an idiot.
You yanked your spellbook off of the table and turned to the desired page; you didn’t really fancy the idea of doing more research on crystal gazing, palmistry, ornithomancy, and tessomancy, but seeing as N.E.W.Ts were coming up, it only made sense that Professor Trelawney would make you revisit these desired areas of study.
“Gaze into the beyond!” she cried, “and tell your partner what you see!”
George very obviously rolled his eyes as you peered closely into the crystal ball. You couldn’t see anything except smoke, and so you furrowed your brows even more, as if to will yourself to concentrate. It was no use. You hated this subject; you’d only taken it to get away from him, anyway! He scoffed at the sight of you concentrating fiercely. “And what is it,” he asked you in an uncanny expression of your professor, “that you see?”
You shot him a glance and backed away from the crystal ball, scribbling something down on your parchment, and then turning your attention back toward him. “I see myself trying to lower my blood pressure and focus on my work,” you said cheerily, “because the idiot sat across from me is being an even bigger git than normal.”
“Wow,” he replied, his voice fierce with mock surprise. He widened his eyes and nodded his head fervently. “You’re really rubbish at this, aren’t you?”
His quips made your blood boil.
It felt as if it were hours before the lesson had ended; when the bell rang mercifully, you packed up your things in a rush and nearly sprinted out of the classroom, without a last glance or a word to George. This was going to be a long bloody year.
-- -
“So what’ve you been learning in Divination, Georgie?”
You groaned and placed your head directly on top of your parchment. Why is it that they always seem to end up where you are? This was the library, they had absolutely no business being here. This was your turf, and it always had been.
“Little of this, little of that,” George replied to his brother, his voice merry. “Been revisiting some old tasks to prep for N.E.W.Ts. Oh, that reminds me -- I was crystal gazing the other day.”
“Yeah?” Fred’s voice heightened. You could hear the smirk and the eyebrow raise. “And what did you see?”
“Well, it was kind of difficult to tell,” George said, “my huffy, stuffy partner kept distracting me with her bloody obnoxious sighs every single time I so much as blinked in her direction.”
You slammed shut the very large book you were reading as the twins and their friends erupted into laughter, swiveled your way through students, and returned the book to its proper place on the shelf. To your delight, Madam Pince was not too keen on noise in the library, and immediately began scolding them. This didn’t stop George from sending you a wink and a shake of the head before you vanished in the corridor. Merlin, he was going to drive you bloody mad.
-- -
You couldn’t believe what you were hearing. Had your friends gone absolutely bonkers? He fancies you. You couldn’t seem to shake the phrase from your head no matter how hard you tried -- it was that outrageous and that hilarious.
There was no way that George Weasley fancied you -- for one, the two of you could not be more different. Secondly, if he really did, and he was still busy treating you like he loathed you, then that could mean only one thing: that he had the personality of a five-year-old. Yes, like that of a five-year-old boy chasing and pushing and teasing a five-year-old girl on the playground at primary school. And then, you figured, he was just as immature as he seemed.
“Perhaps you could make it a less.. hostile environment,” your mate told you one afternoon over lunch. “Clear the air a bit.”
“There’s nothing to clear,” you told her gruffly, picking at your sandwich. “He’s a git -- always has been, always will be.”
She began to laugh. “But you don’t really know that, do you? I mean, yeah, sure, he was a right prat during third year, but you’ve bloody hated the guy since then for laughing. Laughing. It’s not like he did it on purpose, you know. It was a mistake.”
You turned toward her in surprise. “A mistake that caused my bloody eyebrow to burn off!”
“And look,” she replied cheerily, “it’s grown back!” You groaned; why was she doing this? Make it a less hostile environment. The only way that could happen is if you and George were miles, if not worlds, apart.
“Maybe try.. having a conversation, yeah? You may have something in common,” she continued on, noisily slurping the rest of her pumpkin juice. “I’m just saying; you don’t have to love the bloke, but you don’t have to hate him, either. Make this atrocious Divination lesson less dreadful for you both by just being civil.” She slung her bag across her shoulder and tapped you on the shoulder. “Have got Charms -- just think about it, okay? See you,”
Civil. You supposed, as you took a very deep sigh and finished off the rest of your drink, that you could attempt to do that. Just then, a very loud bit of raucous laughter echoed across the Great Hall, coming from none other than the Gryffindor table, where George and Fred were no doubt showcasing one of their products for their shop they were so confident they’d be able to open and run. The commotion from the table only seemed to increase, and you took yet another very deep, gruff sigh. Civil. You could try. But Merlin, you’d have to try really very bloody hard.
-- -
When George sat down across from you a few days later, you’d been back and forth between the idea of being courteous and being rude more times than you could count on two hands. And luckily for him, you’d just flopped back to the idea of politeness.
You stuck out a hand and he looked at you quizzically. “Merlin -- have the fumes in here gone to your head or something? We’ve known one another for years.”
Civility, you thought. You stood your ground. “Can we just.. I dunno, start over? This lesson is already terrible enough without us nearly killing one another. I, for one, don’t want to dread this any more than I already do. So what do you say?”
You couldn’t tell right away if the arch of his eyebrows meant he was genuinely considering this or if he was fighting back a very haughty laugh so as not to spark an argument. But then, surprisingly, incredibly, he took his hand in yours and shook it firmly. “Alright then, Y/N,” he said professionally, “I suppose I can do that. But no bashing my methods of study,”
“No burning off my eyebrows,” you retorted.
“No worries there,” he replied, sneaking a small smirk at you as he opened his spellbook, “nothing to blow up in here.”
For the first time in nearly four years, the two of you had made it throughout an entire lesson without yelling at one another. It was both surprising and refreshing. And although you both continued to make small digs at one another, and he certainly continued to test your patience, you realized that maybe your mate was right.
It turns out you did have some things in common, actually.
“Why the bloody hell haven’t you tried out for Quidditch then?”
George was still beaming over your story of how you’d miraculously caught a Snitch at the very young age of seven in your backyard with your siblings. You’re not exactly sure when Quidditch had come up in the conversation, but somehow it did, and the two of you were now packing up to head to your next lessons.
“I dunno,” you replied truthfully, “it was never really my thing. I much rather prefer dueling than playing Quidditch.”
“Word of advice,” he said, shoving his Divination spellbook back into his bag, “never tell your housemates that you’re a Quidditch wizard. They will kill you dead you for not going out for the team.”
Just then, Professor Trelawney came scurrying over to you both -- her eyes wide and hair a tousled mess. “Mr. Weasley!” she cried excitedly, pointing down at the crystal ball, “what have you seen today?”
He looked at the professor, the ball, and then at you, a simple smile on his lips, sort of a half-smirk half-genuine sort of look. “Friendship,” he said simply.
Dumbfounded, Professor Trelawney began nodding fervently to herself and mumbling things neither of you could understand -- utter nonsense, really, and moved onto the next pair of students before they could leave. You folded your arms across your chest and raised an eyebrow. “Friendship, hm?”
George shrugged and placed his hands inside his pockets before starting toward the door. “And to think,” he said, “all you had to do was not loathe me so much.”
“It’s harder than it seems, George.”
“That’s mean,” he teased, bringing a hand to his chest in mock hurt. Then, genuinely, “we’re kind of best mates now, aren’t we?”
You choked back a laugh and held up a finger to him. “Erm, easy there -- wouldn’t go that far.”
He shook his head and began tuttering. “Dear, dear Y/N.. rubbish at both Divination and at lying.”
You threw a cushion from one of the chairs straight at his head before you both headed off in your respective directions. Best mates. Merlin. It was one lesson you’d both sort of gotten along in. He certainly was exaggerating a bit, wasn’t he? Even so, you couldn’t help the very small grin that spread itself across your face as you walked merrily toward Defense Against the Dark Arts.
--
You were having a particularly rough day.
You’d started the day off by waking up behind schedule, rushing through breakfast, and running in late to your morning lesson. You’d managed to completely bungle whatever nonsense Snape was having you concoct in Potions, losing a generous amount of points from your house. You’d slipped down the steps and given yourself a nasty bruise on your arm, and you were pretty sure that you were getting a cold -- and right before the winter holidays, at that.
So when you sluggishly made your way into Divination and George immediately began to tease you, you were not having it.
“Uh ohhhh,” he said in a sing-song sort of voice, “someone having a bad day?”
You knew he probably meant it as a joke and nothing more, but you were too pissed off to care. Was it the glassiness in your eyes? Your red nose? Your disheveled hair, or the fact that you’d hardly found the energy to straighten your tie? You growled, “I am not in the mood, George.”
“Blimey, alright, I was just --”
“I know what you were doing,” you scowled after a sneeze, “and I’d really just like to get through this lesson in one piece, if you don’t mind.” He put up his hands in surrender and sealed his lips shut. You sighed. “I’m sorry, I’m just not feeling the greatest today -- d’you mind if we just focus on the work?”
Today you were focusing your studies on palmistry. Not your favorite. It was an incredibly long, mundane lesson.
Later on, George asked you, “D’you want me to ask Trelawney if we can finish up early since you’re feeling ill?”
“Please.”
You closed your eyes for the few seconds George was gone; when he returned, he sat back down in his seat with a rather confused look etched on his face. “She, erm, told me no can do. I’ll just have to really.. ‘cleans my aura’ after this.” He used air quotes and actually had to hold back a bit of laughter. “It’s fine, I reckon. I’ll read yours. You don’t have to do mine.”
You reached out across the table as far as you could; your entire body was hurting. You didn’t want to be sneezing and achey during the Christmas holidays! You were busy pouting when George took your hand in his and began examining closely. You found yourself feeling surprised by a few things -- one, the tender touch of his fingers grazing your palm; two, how soft his skin felt against yours; three, the way your breath had hitched in your throat at the mere contact.
The feeling of his pointer finger tracing over your life and head lines on your palm sent shivers down your spine; perhaps it was an oncoming fever? You weren’t sure, and you didn’t know if the fogginess clouding your brain was the head cold or Trelawney’s classroom or the sheer intensity of the moment between you and this redhead. Somehow, though, when George looked up and locked eyes with you, you had this strange feeling that he was feeling the same things you were. Pure shock. Pure surprise.
“So, erm,” you began, clearing your throat and stretching as far away from him as you could, “what’s it say then? What’s going to happen?”
George hummed appreciatively and looked back down at your hand once more before letting go. “Some type of.. chemical reaction. In our Potions lesson. Bubbling cauldrons, and all that.”
What? Were the fumes getting to him too? He never looked so serious in all his life! Maybe he needed a trip to the hospital wing to uncloud his own head --
“Sorry? George, what’re you on about? We don’t take Potions together.”
“Oh, you’re right,” he replied, shaking his head a bit and forcing down a smile. And then, much to your surprise (and delight, perhaps?) he said something you were pretty sure you dreamt up: “--reaction must be between us, then.”
If his knee hadn’t been touching yours under the table, or you hadn’t felt the stuffiness of your head cold take you over, you would’ve been sure that it had all been a dream, or perhaps the haziness of the classroom making you hallucinate. But no. He’d said it. He’d said it quite seriously, with his signature smirk and hand through the hair right afterward.
The bell rang, startling you, and he stood up slowly and slung his bag across his shoulder. You fumbled with your books, both exhausted from your oncoming illness and dumbfounded by his comment. “Mum swears by green tea,”
“Oh, erm, sorry?”
George laughed. “Green tea. My mum says it always helps during the colder months. Pretty sure they’ve got some in the kitchens.” He started toward the door, but waited for you. You both parted ways near the Great Hall. “Rest up, alright? Don’t need my partner missing out on the very exciting, albeit outdated art of palm reading.”
You laughed a bit. “I’ll be sure to, George.”
“And remember,” he pointed at you, “lots of green tea. A Molly Weasley recommendation.”
You couldn’t help the gentle smile that tugged at your lips. “Tell her thanks for me.”
-- -
Two days later and you were feeling as good as new. George had been right -- a few cups of green tea everyday, and it seemed to have cleared your sinuses right up. His mum was a right genius.
There were only two more days of classes before everyone was going to pack up and leave for the holidays. Although you’d be back after the new year, it still felt odd going home; you missed Hogwarts so desperately whilst being home. Something about the castle, illuminated by dazzling decorations and lights and ornaments -- it was rather stunning, actually, and always left you yearning for more.
You were busy scribbling down the very last bit of your Charms essay in the library when you heard your name. Oh no! How long had you been there, working away? You groaned and quickly wrote your name on the top of the parchment and bolted from the back of the library. Then you stopped in your tracks as goosebumps rose on your skin, and you listened:
“Do me a favour, Weasley, and just admit that your brother is mad for her.”
It was your mate. What was she doing, here in the library? Wasn’t she supposed to be in Herbology? You quickly skidded your way into one of the empty aisles, listening intently to the conversation unfolding just a few feet away from you in the aisle next to yours. And then came the unmistakable sound of Fred Weasley’s very dry sarcasm:
“Who? George? My twin? Mad for your friend? No, there’s no way.”
You could almost hear the smile that split his face. Your breath caught in your throat, and you struggled terribly to stifle a cough. What were they on about? There was no way, just absolutely no way that he really did fancy you. You thought your mates had been joking a few weeks back; you’d taken them up on their suggestion to be polite, but that was merely it. Friends? Maybe. A couple? Bloody hell, absolutely not.
“Could you be bloody serious for one moment?”
“I reckon I do not have a serious bone in my body, I’m afraid.”
Ignoring this, your friend continued. “How long?”
“Hmm,” Fred began. You imagined that he was probably looking toward the sky, as if searching for his thoughts so he could pull them directly out of thin air. “Well, let’s see. Pretty sure the day Y/N screamed bloody murder at him in Potions, he’d fallen very quickly in love, even though he never admitted it to anyone. I’ve known it, though, because the poor bloke wears his heart on his sleeve. So about four years, yeah.”
“And he just couldn’t quit the merciless teasing, could he?”
“It’s like you don’t know us at all.”
You couldn’t listen anymore. You quickly shuffled your way out of the library and all the way to your common room until you were safely in your dormitory and could yell into the void. Why on bloody earth would he have been acting so rude if he actually fancied you, even if he had been trying to keep his feelings a secret? But then his comment from the other day flooded your mind, and you soon found, as you mulled them over, that a lot of his comments toward you could be taken in a flirtatious manner if you hadn’t been so obsessed with hating him so much. Perhaps, looking back, he’d been basing his repartee off of your desire to make your distaste of him very well known.
What would have happened if you’d taken that misfortune in Potions in stride? Would you two have been alright? Acquaintances? Friends? Maybe even..
You felt a small jab in your stomach.
It’s as if the conversation you’d overheard had made you do a complete one eighty. Four months ago, the idea of spending any of your time with George Weasley nearly sent you into a tizzy. You absolutely abhorred the idea. The sight of him alone made your blood boil, and any and all interaction with him would have made you miserable to the point of constant sulking. But now?
It was sort of hard to get the guy out of your head.
You found yourself constantly replaying all of your interactions with him over the years back each night before bed. Of course, there hadn’t been too many, seeing as you’d done your absolute very best to avoid him at all costs. But the ones that had happened.. perhaps there was something other than disdain in his voice. Maybe you’d just chosen to hear it as disdain, because you didn’t want to admit to yourself what was actually true.
You didn’t know what happened between that time he’d first read your palm and what you’d overheard in the library, but something had changed.
Lots had changed.
His words echoed in your ears.
Maybe there was some type of chemical reaction going on.
-- -
When you walked into Divination the next morning, you weren’t very surprised to see George already sitting there. He’d started coming to lessons earlier and earlier, to the point where he was getting there before you. It was refreshing, actually. You’d always thought he didn’t really care about work; he’d proved you wrong, though, and you were glad.
You both fell into your routine quite easily, ignoring the very theatrical talks coming from Trelawney as she made her way around the room to observe each of you through her her very large spectacles. You felt a bit of a pull at your heart that this would be your very last lesson together before the holidays -- you relished and also sort of dreaded the idea of being very far away from this foggy mess of a classroom for a few weeks time.
“You’re awfully quiet today. Feeling better?”
George’s voice took you by surprise, because you’d both been working rather diligently on the finishing touches of your essays. You cleared your throat and stunned yourself at how softly your voice sounded in your own ears. “Yes, yeah of course. That tea worked wonders actually -- your mum’s a genius.”
George laughed softly but didn’t look up from his parchment. “Yeah, she’s a wonder, she is.”
“Has to be,” you replied, tracing over the letters of your name, “with seven kids and all. Has to be on top of things.”
“I reckon you’re right.” He finished whatever he was writing and looked up at you with a smile, and when you skittishly glanced back down toward your parchment, he asked, “are you sure you’re alright?”
“Mhmm,” you replied, biting down on your lip. Your feet were thumping rhythmically against the floor. And then the words were said before you could register just exactly what you were doing: “Heard something about you.”
A small smile tugged at his lips. “Whatever it is, I swear I didn’t do it.” Then he paused, thought for a moment, and opened his mouth to speak again. “Alright..maybe I’ve done it.”
A small chuckle settled in the air between you both when he finally looked up from his parchment and locked his gaze with yours. “Sorry. What did you hear?”
You considered making something up, for now you were panicking, and you hated feeling panicked: but then again, you were in pretty deep already, and what did you have to lose? “It was from your brother, actually. Fred.”
“Oh, Merlin.”
“Yeah, said something interesting,” you continued on, focusing your eyesight solely on the parchment in front of you. You resumed tracing the letters of your name over and over, just to give yourself an excuse to not look at him as your cheeks surely flooded pink. “Said you actually haven’t loathed me this entire time?” It came out as more of a question.
“Really?”
“Actually, if my memory serves me correctly..” you dragged out every single word, still unsure if you were going to go for it. And then you did. “I’m pretty sure he actually used the word.. fancy.”
You half expected George to throw up his arms in a fit, exclaiming that Fred didn’t know what the bloody hell he was on about, and of course he’d actually disliked you this entire time. You also half expected him to burst out and cackle himself silly, because the sheer idea of a guy like him fancying a girl like you just tickled him. But instead, he licked his lips and peered at you with a type of compassion in his eyes you’d never seen before. Then he wiggled his eyebrows and offered, “He’s smarter than I thought. And to think.. I’d never even told him how I truly felt.”
Okay, surely you’d dreamt that. But nope; nope, he’d said it, yet again, causing the butterflies to dance animatedly around your stomach. You opened your mouth to speak as he smiled softly at you, but then Trelawney came bouncing over, completely interrupting the moment. “Oh, my dears! Friendship was on your horizon, you say; now, look into the beyond and tell one another what lies ahead!”
She bounced quickly over to the next group, and you took to looking inside the crystal ball; but any type of focus you’d had before had flown out the window now -- there was no way you were going to be able to properly function, because as it turns out, your very worst enemy had actually liked you this entire bloody time.
George leant in closer so that he, too, was hovering over the crystal ball, your foreheads almost touching. You could feel his breath on your neck. His voice was low and cool, “What’s the future say now, love?”
“Friendship,” you somehow spit out, your throat and mouth suddenly as dry as the Sahara desert. “Maybe more, actually.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah,”
And then the sound of glass shattering against the hardwood floor across the room startled you both, causing you to pull away from one another and catch your breath.
Moment over.
-- -
The Great Hall was bustling with students chatting animatedly and loads of luggage carts and parcels of presents. You’d just finished your final lesson before the holidays (Charms -- ending on a high note!) and you were very relieved to be on a break from your studies for a few weeks time and to be heading home.
The Great Hall was filled with people, but not the familiar one you were looking for.
Perhaps the conversation you were hoping to have could wait until after the holidays; although you didn’t know if you’d make it through three weeks of wondering what and if without spontaneously combusting.
You tugged your luggage out into the corridor to board one of the carriages to the train when you spotted him standing with his siblings, surrounded by luggage carts and huddled up in his Gryffindor robes and scarf.
Before you could find the courage to walk on over to him to wish him a happy Christmas, it seemed as though he was able to read your mind, for he excused himself from his siblings and made his way over to you, causing you to back up a few inches and press yourself directly into the wall.
You both hadn’t had a chance to chat since your lesson yesterday, since you’d found out the truth, since you’d ran out due to your nerves and George’s cheeky grin.
“So, erm -- sorry I ran out yesterday. Was a bit.. flustered, is all.”
You could’ve said anything else, but these were the words that chose to escape your lips. Bloody hell. You internally scolded yourself, but the expression George’s face didn’t change.
“Flustered?” he asked, confusion crinkling the edges of his eyes. “About what?”
“George, come on.”
“No, please,” he placed his hand on his chest, “You’re going to have to remind me. Yesterday’s events are all a blur, I’m afraid.”
He smirked, and you suddenly felt your blood begin to boil again. He was going to make you say it, of course he was.
“You know,” you started through gritted teeth, “our little conversation in Divination yesterday afternoon. About your... feelings.”
He nodded dramatically and clicked his tongue. “Right. That conversation. You know, it’s funny,” he began, placing his hands inside his pockets and moving closer to you, “I really dislike crystal gazing. I find the more accurate readings come from palmistry.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah,” he replied flatly, as if it were obvious. He took out his hand and placed in front of you. “Look here. I reckon you’ll be able to read the future quite clearly.”
You took his hand in yours, and immediately felt as thought you were out of your element. Yet, you began to trace the lines gently with your forefinger. You weren’t reading any bloody future; you were merely trying not to let the very steady pounding of your heart be so evident in the rising tension between you both. You found yourself, actually, pulling ever so gently on his hand, as if to bring him closer to you. You could easily reach out and trace the outline of freckles on his nose.
“See anything intriguing?” he breathed.
Something about being around him made you feel simultaneously more nervous than you ever had been and more confident; you were feeling so self-assured that you actually said something before you could overthink it. “Yeah, actually, looks here like you’re about to kiss me,” you said breathlessly.
How odd, you thought, that just mere months ago the man in front of you was none other than your absolute mortal enemy, and now all you wanted to do was spend the holidays locked away with him in a broom cupboard.
A cheeky grin split his face and he moved another inch or so closer; just centimeters to go, and his lips would be fully pressed to yours, the chemical reaction bubbling over perfectly. “Is that so?” he asked quietly, very slowly moving his way forward. He lifted your chin with his hand so your face was angled up toward his, and he stopped just as his lips so very softly brushed yours. It didn’t even seem real, honestly. Just then, one of the Weasleys shouted to George that their older brother was here to fetch them, and he you felt his smile brighten ever so lightly against you. Damnit! And instead of finishing what he’d started, he merely ran a finger across your chin, down your neck and over your collarbone and whispered, “Happy Christmas, love,” before pulling away.
What in the bloody fuc--! Was he kidding? Not only had the reaction bubbled over, but you now felt like exploding at how much of a prat he was being. He’d already made you say such silly things, and now he really had the audacity to almost kiss you and then pull away?
“You’ve got to be joking,” you said under your breath as he squeezed your hand. “You’re going to kill me.”
He wiggled his eyebrows seductively. “Have got to leave you wanting more, don’t I?”
You scoffed loudly and took a very deep, very overdue breath to regain your composure, but not before he leaned in and caught you off guard by pressing his lips to yours and gently melting into you. A slight sigh escaped you, and before you could register just what it felt like to have his lips on yours, you both broke apart -- he winked merrily at your wide eyes and made his way back toward his siblings. “You still going to be a right prat in three weeks time?” you teased, folding your arms across your chest as he tugged a beanie over his head.
“Oh, there’s no doubt in my mind, love,” he said as if it were obvious, “you still going to let me read your palms and drive you mad?”
You grinned a bit more and shook your head, tugging your own scarf around your neck as he was pulled by his siblings out of the castle. You breathed deeply, brought your fingers to your lips where his had just been, and said to nobody in particular, “Oh, there’s no doubt in my mind, Weasley.”

also a long... long time ago someone asked me for an artist!mc wanting to draw satan. I still 100% want to do it, but here’s a little placeholder in the meantime!!
Satan intensely examines the framed work in front of him--you think that it might be some kind of… statement on fertility? There’s definitely a feminine figure in the garish swathes of puke green. Maybe. Could also be a peanut. If you squint and tilt your head, it kind of looks like an animal? 
You’ve never had an eye for this sort of thing, only agreeing to come because Satan had invited you.
hope u guys don’t mind i completely veered off the request path.. but here’s something short!!
1.3kish words, gen, satan/gender neutral!mc 
~~~
“Mammon would be furious if he knew he missed you like this,” he grins, bowing and holding his hand out. 
The outfit is… fancier than anything you’ve ever really worn in front of the brothers. It’s perfectly tailored to your body thanks to Asmo, the vest cinched at your waist like one of Lucifer’s. It accentuates the slight curve of your waist, enticingly settling at the small of your back. 
Your brows raise at the outstretched hand, before rolling your eyes and snorting at the gesture. Satan looks like he expects you to playfully bat his hand away with some flustered complaint. To his surprise, you take his hand, and lace your fingers with his. 
Satan’s eyes widening is a sweet reward in itself. 
-
-
-
The art exhibit Satan takes you to is far fancier than Satan had led you to believe, so with each passing devil appraising you, you’re glad you let Asmo guide you into his closet for an outfit upgrade. 
Satan is dressed in a casual sports jacket and fitted slacks, but his natural good looks and the undeniable power radiating off him would have made him a knockout even if he was wearing a tracksuit. (Maybe. That actually sounds hilarious.)
You fiddle with the hem of the vest, at the quintessential, billowy-sleeved Asmo shirt he’d paired with it. You look like you belong in a fantasy novel as a princely character, but perhaps that’s what Asmo intended. If you had any doubts about how different your outfits are, the worries are blown out of the water by the sheer chaos of Devildom “high fashion”.   
Besides, Satan seems to like it, if his constant gentle touches mean anything.  
By comparison to the eccentric shades of Devildom fashion (some more... daring than others...), the art itself is nothing exciting. Once you’ve sipped enough champagne to calm your nerves, you realize that the art is actually... 
Terrible. 
You’ve seen some god-awful art up in the human realm, but it’s almost comforting to know that there are also snobby devil artists with bad technique and signatures as big as their egos. But… Satan likes it? You think. 
You’re not quite sure, honestly, and you don’t want to offend him by saying anything negative. He stares at every framed work with an intensity that would burn through the canvas if looks could kill. Sometimes it’s a few seconds, sometimes several minutes, but Satan will nod once he’s finished appraising the canvas, and then move on to the next one.
Almost without fail, he will place his hand on your waist or the small of your back and lead you to another… suspect… painting.
Satan intensely examines the framed work in front of him --you think that it might be some kind of… statement on fertility? There’s definitely a feminine figure in the garish swathes of puke green. Maybe. Could also be a peanut. If you squint and tilt your head, it kind of looks like an animal? You’ve never had an eye for this sort of thing, only agreeing to come because Satan had invited you. 
“This isn’t your kind of date,” Satan states, and you jump, looking at him with cinched brows. 
“I never said that--” Satan rolls his eyes.
“You’ve spent more time looking at me than at the art.” 
You’re a work of art is the infantile comeback that comes to mind, but you don’t have the strength to be so bold or cheesy. Crossing your arms sheepishly, you look anywhere but at him. 
“I… You seemed interested, and I didn’t want to tell you no?” You admit, and Satan sighs, like he’s not sure what he’s going to do with you. “Did you…” You fumble over the words, “Did you like this one?” 
Satan blinks as he looks at you, his head tilted. Huffing with amusement at what he finds in your expression, he shakes his head. He looks back at the painting and squints at it. 
“Honestly, no. It’s gaudy, the technique is terrible, and I’m sure the artist was drunk the entire time. There’s Demonus stains in the corner here.” he groans, pointing at the out-of-the-ordinary purple splotches that don’t match any of the other materials used. You can’t help the glee that fills your chest at Satan admitting that he also thinks these works are absurd--there’s relief as well. 
You’re not sure if you’d be able to stand another hour of this. 
“Why would anyone buy this?” You ask, and Satan looks at you helplessly. 
“I have no idea. Art is subjective, but most modern art makes me furious,” Satan says, shoulders shrugging, “Sometimes I try to stop and really, really look at the piece. Usually that works. I suppose if I bend over backwards, I can start to maybe piece together whatever asinine meaning the artist intended.” 
“What if you end up still hating it?” you question. Satan huffs. 
“Then I buy it,” Satan’s gaze shifts to look at you from the corner of his eyes, and he can’t help his wicked smirk, “And I use it for kindling.”
“What?” you ask, eyebrows cinched together. Satan holds his hands up noncommittally, and you shake your head with a fond, disbelieving laugh, “You’re terrible.” 
“You think so? Let’s just get on with the second part of our date. I think you’ll enjoy it much more,” Satan hums, and before you have a chance to ask, he’s looking out into the crowd. 
“Malphas!” Satan calls, and waves a hand over at a timid looking demon in an older suit. 
The demon, Malphas, shuffles over with a toothy smile--it was far too easy for Satan to get his attention in this crowd. Was the demon waiting for Satan to call him over? He shakes hands with Satan, grabbing the brother by the forearm in an enthusiastic greeting.  
“Satan! I’m glad you could make it,” he rasps, a row of sharp, tiny teeth in the demon’s mouth bared in what you think is a smile. 
“No, thank you for the invite.” Satan is charming--you’ve always thought so, but to watch him interact with anyone not you or his own family is an interesting change of pace. Malphas seems to be tripping over himself to gain Satan’s approval, even as his beady black eyes flicker between the two of you. Satan gestures at you with one hand, placing the other hand on the small of your back. 
You flush at the contact.
“Malphas, this is our human exchange student,” Satan says your name, and you extend a hand out to him. Malphas blinks down at your hand, as if it will burn him, and you realize that with how little you know of demons.  
Even if you forget when you’re amidst the brothers, there are quite a few devils who are hesitant about Diavolo’s integration ideals. You trust that Satan would never let you come to any harm from them, though. Malphas coughs, but then he’s bringing a small, clawed hand up to yours. His skin is clammy, and a strange texture, but you both manage the handshake under Satan’s careful watch. 
At the civilized shaking of your hands, Satan beams, “Malphas is the gallery owner. He invites me to shows for up-and-coming artists, and I attend when I can.” The brothers often comment on Satan’s popularity, with varying reactions of disbelief and envy, but getting to live it is a whole other experience in itself.
"Listen, Malphas," Satan points at the painting in front of you, "I'd like to buy this painting." Satan winks at you from the corner of his eyes, and you glance at the demon to see if he noticed Satan's wink. Malphas, however, only wrings his hands together and lets out a pleased growl, nodding his head. "Bill it to my account."
"Excellent choice, my lord," he chirps, almost like a bird, "I will get this prepared for you immediately!" 
Malphas skitters off, leaving Satan smiling at you and you staring at him in utter confusion. The hand on the small of your back slides to your waist, and Satan’s holding you close to his side--the mere concept of Satan buying this shitty painting is still enough of a distraction that you don’t immediately burst into flames at it. The opulence of this gallery opening also screams expensive. Satan hadn’t even asked for the price? You have so many questions. 
"But this… is awful?" You ask, trying to picture where the hell Satan would hang this. Its bright colors don't match the interior of his bedroom at all; if Satan were to hang this, you'd never be able to not see it. 
Another mischievous quirk of his lips, and realization dawns on your face. 
Oh.
-
-
-
Satan has an interesting definition of fun. 
Something about the ingredients inside the paint used on Devildom works causes a spectacular chemical reaction. You wonder how many poor portraits have fallen prey to Satan’s sadism--but remembering the work itself, you’re not particularly bothered.  
Ashes and paint dirty the sleeves of Asmo’s shirt and you worry about getting the stains out, but then Satan’s sidling up behind you... and you’re sure Asmo will forgive you if you compliment him enough! Probably!
Satan’s height allows him to rest his chin on your shoulder as you both stare into the makeshift bonfire, his arms wrapped loosely around your center.
“I thought you were joking,” you snort as the bright red smoke billows up into the Devildom sky. 
Satan’s hot puff of laughter tickles the hair by your ear.

There is butyric acid in it because of how they treat the milk they put in the chocolate. When the system for treating the milk (which is necessary so it can integrate into a solid chocolate at room temperature) was developed independently of the process that milk was treated with across the ocean in your tiny ass country.
It isn't "added" to the milk for preservation purposes. It's created in low pressure environments in which milk is heated to drive off excess moisture so it can work in a solid form.
And by the time your process could travel across to our country, there were already several companies, and dozens of factories using the process: so obviously they wouldn't change it.
Nor should they, it's a matter of preference and personal taste. Just because something has a component that makes other things bad, it isn't necessarily worse for it.
Ever heard of the chemical scatole? It's the primary component in faeces that gives it that distinctive smell. But guess, what, in smaller amounts in flowers, it smells good to us. and when compared to nearly identical compounds in flowers, just without the scatole, the brain found the ones with scatole more enjoyable (checked with an MRI, or ct scan, or cat scan or whatever the fuck. I'm not a doctor).
Just because a chemical is present in one thing, it doesn't mean that other things with that chemical are objectively worse than equivalents that don't.
Also, parmesan (or whatever you call it, parmesano regiono, who gives a shit) has butyric acid in it too. Do you like parmesan cheese? Have you ever eaten parmesan cheese? Maybe you could see how your argument kind of breaks down.
I direct you to this video made by Adam ragusea, from which I derive much of my information on this topic.
youtube
Now, since I'm done with making respectful points, I will angrily shit talk you for your personality, and place of origin.
How fucking egotistical do you have to be to call chocolate that includes an ingredient that undergoes a different process not normal? Do you consider yourself the standard of which everything either complies or is lesser?
You got bitchy enough to make a half baked point about something you clearly don't know shit about. All because I jokingly (check the tags, it's a joke) teased the British, and someone continued the joke in a similar way, with similar intensity? Do you lack the self control to not interact with everything that makes a joke? Fucking clown
And are you really getting all up and arms about your food? Really? You can't seriously see some of the shit your people proudly present as good home cooking, and defend it. Canned beans on buck fifty soggy as white bread? Flavourless mush of whatever vegetables you find in the back of the fridge, in a bowl, badly assuming the identity of a stew? Really?
How about you chill out you tea soaked sack of shit? We're making jokes and you go in here shit talking our chocolate, saying it's bad based on shaky grounds at best, and simply false grounds at worst, all the while calling it abnormal. Read a fuckin room. Be able to take a joke. And go cry about your old ass monarch dying over a cup of leaf water and dry ass biscuits.

Hemp Joint And Muscle Active Relief Gel With Natural Ingredients
cannabis medicine and I've treated thousands of patients with medical cannabis in CBD over the years and this is where I share all of that knowledge with you so in this episode today we're going to be talking about CBD used for chronic pain so how can CBD help chronic pain conditions what kind of chronic pain conditions it helps with and which ones it may not be so helpful with and then we're going to talk about how to actually use CBD and the experiences I've had using high CBD types of hemp in medical cannabis with my patients with chronic pain so this is a question I get asked all of the time in facebook groups by email and of course with my patients is they really want to try to use CBD and usually in an oil forms of CBD oil for their chronic pain now there's some CBD oils that you can get over-the-counter in some countries that are from hemp and they don't have any THC in it or less than 0.2 percent THC so basically none and then there's the medical cannabis that really has high high high CBD low THC but does it a little bit of detectable THC in it let's say 1% THC so in my medical practice in Canada where medical cannabis is legal I use a lot of very high CBD very low THC oils to help patients with chronic pain now chronic pain it's a just a huge broad area of medicine because there's so many areas where pain can come from pain can come from the nervous system being injured and come from the nerves called neuropathic pain or nerve pain it can come from inflammation so if someone who has an autoimmune disease or they have arthritis from just wear and tear they can all get different types of pain and you have pain in the nerve endings and you have pain in the body and then you have pain that starts in the brain that's again something called central pain so with all of these different types of pain actually one of the most important systems in our body to manage pain is our own cannabis system in our body our endocannabinoids system so what this means is that when we are facing pain whether it's chronic pain or acute pain there's molecules in our body there's chemicals our body makes to help fight that pain and our body makes cannabis like compounds cannabis like molecules called endocannabinoids it helps to really regulate our pain perception how we kind of perceive pain and also how pain really changes the brain over time so a really common question I get is you know what should I do when I've already tried CBD from somewhere over the counter from a hemp store for example for my chronic pain and it didn't do anything does that mean that cannabis medicine in general and CBD in general it just can't help me the answer is usually no usually the answer is that it probably can be helpful somewhat but it really depends on the type of CBD the concentration of CBD it's different for every person in every pain condition and a lot of other factors like was it a full spectrum cannabis medicine product with lots of different chemicals in it besides the CBD or was a just CBD without anything else like a CBD islip what I find with a lot of chronic pain conditions is because CBD actually interacts with our own cannabis system in our own bodies called the endocannabinoid system it doesn't actually turn pain off directly like a painkiller for example what it does instead is it down regulates our perception of pain and the kind of tones our our nervous system so to speak so it can help with chronic pain over a period of time but often times it might take weeks or months to see in effect and it doesn't cure chronic pain so you have to keep taking it so what can happen with a lot of people is they start taking a very small amount of CS CBD oil and they don't really see much difference if anything oftentimes they have to use a different dose a different product or sometimes adding a tiny bit of THC so using in Canada for example where this is legal a strain of cannabis oil that has a tiny bit of THC and still very very high amount of CBD actually works better for chronic pain in many cases because it actually binds directly to some of the the pain receptors using the THC and then the CBD makes the THC work even better even at these tiny little doses so normally even at those tiny doses of THC people don't normally feel impaired or high so a lot of times people think that CBD oil is going to work directly for their chronic pain but again because CBD actually doesn't bind to either one of the cannabis like receptors in our body the cb1 or the CBT receptor like THC does it works in a more kind of overall toning capacity like a lot of herbal medicines it's all about really toning the nervous system and this is where CBD can be helpful over time there's also still so much we don't know about CBD and about the cannabis plant in general we're really only at the beginning of our scientific understanding and this is really I mean I mean when I say the beginning I mean I read the most up-to-date cutting-edge research every week on this topic and I'm still feeling like you know we're really at the beginning so that being said how can you actually use CBD if you have chronic pain well one way that you can use it is you can help use it to help decrease the anxiety that comes with chronic pain because what happens when you have chronic pain is in the back of your mind even though your brain gets used to having chronic pain it takes up so much bandwidth in your brain so much mental and brain energy to basically dampen the pain signals so you can just go about your life and not feel like you're in constant trauma that over time it can cause a lot of brain anxiety and it can cause a lot of fatigue so what I find seem to be helpful with when someone has chronic pain one of the ways there's many but one of the ways is helping to decrease the brain anxiety levels so basically it helps kind of calm their brain down which dampens the fight-or-flight response or you know the danger response system in the brain and that also dampens pain signals and it also dampens our pain perception because when you have chronic your nervous system is on edge all of the time it's like you're caught in this fight or flight running away from a saber-toothed tiger cycle all of the time and everything is heightened so your awareness of everything of sounds of smells of bright lights and of pain everything gets amplified so basically it just helps kind of calm everything down a notch and even in itself that's really helpful with chronic pain sufferers another way that can actually help chronic pain is if the chronic pain has an inflammation component so that's actually most types of chronic pain even indirectly if you have nerve pain sometimes there's an inflammation component as well so what CBD does in animal models we know and we think in humans although we need really bigger research studies to say exactly how this works but it's probably very similar to what we're seeing in animal models is that CBD actually works on inflammation through a number of different pathways in the body so it can shut down inflammation in some pathways so if pain is coming from inflammation CBD used daily over time may help reduce inflammation and that kind of pain as well another factor in many forms of chronic pain even if you didn't start out this way is the longer the pain goes on the nervous system tries to adapt to the pain and basically your own endocannabinoid system in your other pain control systems they get out of whack they just don't work as well and they kind of reach this new baseline this new kind of dysregulated baseline of I'm okay but actually the nervous system is really just regulated so this is where CBD may be able to help again because it may be able to help rebalance the endocannabinoids system when it's gotten out of whack so the last thing that I'm just gonna mention is okay what types of chronic pain do I see enjoy treat with medical cannabis and high CBD strains especially so I see quite a variety of chronic pain conditions one of the really interesting things that I've noticed in my clinical work with patients and this is not something that's really in the published literature yet is after someone's received chemotherapy for cancer in many cases they use different drugs that really affect numbness and tingling and burning sensations of burning pain the hands and the feet and this is kind of a neuropathic or nerve type of pain that specifically people get after a lot of chemo therapies especially the breast cancer chemotherapy regimens and what I've found is when patients use CBD oil after they finish their chemo and they keep using it their pain their burning pain in their hands and their tingling pain in their hands and their feet tend to tend to go away a lot quicker then I would say on average so it may be really a place specifically received II show some promise there's some animal studies on that type of pain specifically using CBD and we need more research to say exactly how it works in humans but it's really promising another type of pain that I treat is fibromyalgia I also treat arthritis pain and pain that's associated with a lot of other chronic diseases so I'm gonna talk about each of those in another video specifically but in general I think for chronic pain CBD holds a lot of promise especially when it's combined with other chemicals in the cannabis plant and potentially with other herbals and other medications so if you like this video please subscribe to our Channel and also please share

Hello! I was wondering if you knew if hyacinth bulbs and roots can be used in flying ointments, or stuff like calla lily petals, larkspur blooms, snowdrop flowers, hydrangea flowers, non sambac Jasmine varieties, etc? I don't have anything traditional like belladonna or hellebore, but I'd like to make flying ointments and I was wondering if you knew If non traditional but toxic plants could be used as substitutes, or if it's just stuff like belladonna, datura, etc that can be used? Thank you
So give these two posts a look at the bottom. The first one clarifies what a Flying Ointment isn’t. I wouldn’t suggest using toxic ingredients you aren’t sure about. You need to research each of those ingredients individually. Formulating a Flying Ointment is both magic and science because if you do things wrong, there can be serious repercussions. When in doubt, less is more. When you don’t know, none is more.
Flying ointments have changed a fair amount from when they were first created because of science. We’ve taken out ingredients that, while powerful in their own right are too dangerous to put in an ointment. Wolfsbane was a common addition, it’s witchy, it’s powerful, has a rich history and connection to the land, and is so full of toxins it can kill within an hour. It was taken out.
The use of those “regular” Witching herbs is for a reason and that is the alkaloids (see the second post). Transdermal (through the skin) application prevents the body from absorbing the super dangerous chemicals. BUT THIS ISNT THE SAME FOR EVERY TOXIC PLANT. Just because it works for the nightshades doesn’t mean it would work with other toxic herbs and parts.
Additional research needs to be done on the parts of the plant you’re using. For example Datura.Whole thing is toxic, but each part has different concentrations.While you would think the root is the most toxic, it isn’t. Root and flower have the least amount of alkaloid toxins depending on the variety. Seeds and newly sprouted leaves have the highest concentrations.
The point of these ointments isn’t just putting poison on your skin, it’s these specific poisons that have predictable results. Some plants that are poisonous are just going to poison you.I can’t tell you if the examples you gave are viable options because my ointments are based on classical ingredients. So I researched those ingredients, their byproducts, interactions, chemicals, affects on neuropathways, side effects, toxicity levels, rate that body process them, if they are expelled from the body, or if they compound and a lot more…What you’re asking is not a classical flying ointment ingredient I’ve worked with so you’ve got some hard work ahead of you. If you plan on using those.
My advice, if you aren’t sure, don’t. Just buy an ointment from someone who knows what they’re doing, or practice making ritual salves like straight up mugwort or something like chamomile and rosemary. Don’t put yourself at risk because you want to do something others are doing.

What happens is the oil glands of your hair follicles get clogged and then becomes infected. This causes acne’s distinctive bump to form. There are many different types of acne depending on where the bumps appear in your skin. But, no matter the type or severity of the acne breakout, there is always a chance of scarring or other skin damage. For this reason, it is important never to pick at your acne. What Causes Acne Unfortunately, your questions of what causes acne breakouts doesn’t have a great answer. There are a lot of different causes for acne. The majority of people who get acne are teenagers, and this likely has to do with the hormonal changes that happen in our bodies during this time. But, what causes acne in adults is less certain. Doctors do know that acne is influenced by a strain of bacterial call Propionibacterium acnes (or P. acnes). P. acnes lives on our skin and can invade the plugged hair follicle. Some experts believe that the severity of your acne—and what triggers acne—depends on the strain of P. acnes. Other causes of acne include some medications, certain cosmetics, stress, and menstruation in women. Almost all of these factors produce hormonal changes that can create an ideal environment for P. acnes to become a problem. Unlike the old wives’ tale, doctors now know that there are likely no foods that cause acne. A final factor in some people’s propensity for acne breakouts is genetics. Genetics might determine what strain of P. acnes you have on your skin, which is what causes acne. How To Prevent Acne 1 Wash your face and body well every day. 2 Use products designed for your skin type—oily, dry, or combination. 3 Drink a lot of water. 4 Stay away from foods that will spike your blood sugar, such as cola, chips, or sweets. (This prevention method has been used for generations but is not supported by as many studies as the others on this list.) 5 Find a great acne treatment.
What is An Acne Treatment?
An acne treatment is any product that treats acne breakouts. Most people use over-the-counter acne treatments. But, you can also get a prescription from a dermatologist. All acne treatments have at least one ingredient that treats the condition—more on these ingredients below. There are a lot of different acne treatments on the market. Some are stand-alone treatments, and some come in sets of cleansers, spot treatments, and moisturizers. The type of acne treatment that you choose will depend on your own personal preferences, the severity of your acne, and your skin care routine. It may take a couple of tries, but with a little patience, you will find the acne treatment for adults or teenagers that will work for your unique skin. Who can Use Acne Treatments? Acne treatments can be used by anyone. If you have extremely sensitive skin, make sure that you purchase an acne treatment designed for that. Some of the substances in acne treatments are too harsh for sensitive skin. Otherwise, acne treatments are safe for the majority of the population.
Are Acne Treatments Safe?
The best thing you can do to keep your skin safe is to start small and follow the instructions on the acne treatment. Most dermatologists caution against using too many different acne treatment products at once, especially when you are beginning the regimen. This can over-stimulate and dry out your skin. Since irritated skin is what triggers acne, this can produce the opposite of your intended effect. You also want to ensure that you are following the acne treatment’s instructions carefully. It may be tempting to use the product three or four times a day. That should be how to prevent acne, right? Wrong. If you use the acne treatment more than recommended, you can do serious damage to your skin. Finally, make sure you are familiar with the substances used to treat your acne in the product. Some conditions, like pregnancy, require that only some chemicals be used to treat acne. If you are at all concerned about the safety of your chosen acne treatment, discuss the decision with your physician or dermatologist.
Do I need an acne treatment?
If you have acne, you could benefit from an over-the-counter acne treatment. If you have moderate or severe acne, you should probably see a dermatologist before purchasing any acne treatment. Dermatologists have access to stronger acne treatments that may be more appropriate for your skin.
What To Look For in An Acne Treatment
If you have never chosen an acne treatment before, you may not be aware of what you should be looking for in the product. Below we’ve listed your top considerations when buying an acne treatment. Ingredients There are a number of acne treating ingredients that can be used in an acne treatment. Most of them are safe to use, but you will want to pay careful attention to the ingredients if you have certain conditions. All ingredients listed here work as an acne treatment for adults and teenagers. The top acne treatment ingredients are: - Resorcinol: dissolves blackheads and whiteheads - Benzoyl peroxide: a bacteria killer, this is a very common ingredient in acne treatments. - Salicylic acid: another extremely common ingredient, salicylic acid dissolves whiteheads and blackheads and can reduce the inflammation that comes with acne. - Retin-A: unblocks pores -Azelaic acid: strengths skin cells, which makes it harder for acne to occur. - Natural ingredients like tea tree oil, green tea extract, chamomile extract, and safe extract: all of these ingredients have proven acne benefits, plus they occur naturally in nature and so are not man-made chemicals. You will likely see acne treatments that use more than one of the above ingredients. This should not be a problem for most people, as companies will only combine ingredients that do not create any negative side effects when combined. Number of Products Often today you will find acne treatment kits that include a number of products. For many people this is a great acne treatment solution. For one, you will not have to worry about the acne treatment ingredients interacting poorly, as the company has likely already done that research. Another benefit of buying an acne treatment with a number of products is that you receive more for your money. If you receive at least a cleanser, spot treatment, and moisturizer, you skin care regimen is completed, and you will have likely spent less money than if you purchased each of those products individually. Size Often size is a major consideration for any skin care product you purchase. If you are trying a new product then you will likely want to purchase a smaller acne treatment. This way if it doesn’t work well for your skin, you haven’t wasted money. Similarly, for tried and true acne treatments, you may want to purchase a larger size, for you get more value and don’t have to repurchase the treatment as often. Proven results When you have acne, especially if you are trying to find an acne treatment for adults, you will want results. Therefore, it will behoove you to purchase an acne treatment that has already created proven results. Most of the time the top acne treatments are the ones from well-known companies, like Proactiv. If you really like the look of an acne treatment from an unproven company, we recommend looking up reviews of your chosen product online. These reviews will give you a good sense of whether the product works as advertised or not. Also, if you choose any of the acne treatments described below, you will not have to worry, for they are all great choices. Side effects Because we are talking about using foreign substances on our skin, there may be a chance of side effects. For the most part, over-the-counter acne treatments will have much less side effects than acne treatments that must be prescribed by a dermatologist. However, always make sure to read about the side effects and discuss them with your doctor. You don’t want to end up in a worse situation just because you were trying an acne treatment for adults.
Pros and Cons of Acne Treatments
Acne treatments can provide a lot of good to your skin. But, they also come with some cons. Keep both the pros and cons listed below in mind before you purchase a new acne treatment. PROS - Acne treatment can work wonders for your skin. They are one of the best ways to prevent acne and they can clear up any current breakouts. - Treating your acne quickly with the correct products will lower the likelihood of scarring or other skin damage. - Often acne treatments provide other benefits for you skin, including stopping rosacea and brightening your skin tone. CONS - Acne treatments can get expensive if you are purchasing them regularly. - They can potentially hurt your skin if they are not used correctly. - What causes acne isn’t always treatable, so your acne may not completely go away with any acne treatment. Although, it will likely get significantly better.

The best way to use your chosen acne treatment is the way it tells you to on the packaging. But, in general, there are a few instructions that are the same no matter what acne treatment you purchase. Follow the steps outlined below in order to get the most out of your acne treatment. - Use your acne treatment daily. It can’t work if you don’t use it. - Only use the amount of acne treatment specified on the packaging. As we mentioned above, using too much acne treatment in order to speed up the process could end up causing more breakouts. Usually the correct amount will be about the size of a pea. - If your acne treatment does not come with a face wash, make sure the one that you use is designed to be gentle. - Apply moisturizer before using the acne spot treatments. - Once the acne treatment for adults and teens has worked, stop using the product. The ingredients are so harsh that they should only be used once and a while. - Talk to your dermatologist if the acne treatment doesn’t seem to be working, or if you develop a rash or other skin problems while using the product.

BOG IGER BUSINESS STRATEGY MASTER CLASS – NOTES
I'm inspired by great leadership, I'm inspired by great creativity, and I'm inspired by people who are daring, who are willing to take big risks.
In order to run a successful creative entity you have to embrace the fact that everything is a risk, that nothing is a given, there are unknowns all the time and success can be fantastic, exhilarating and can feel really great and failure can be just around the corner and you have to have the ability to absorb failure and to manage failure knowing at the beginning that nothing is given, nothing is an absolute, that is very vital in running a successful creative company.
One of the best pieces of advice I've ever been given was by my father. Who quoted from Shakespeare “To Thine Own Self Be True”. It's incredibly important to be true to yourself, who you are and what you represent before you can be true to anyone else.
I believe in everyday you need some quiet time to think, where your not being bombarded by external forces, your not doing emails, your not watching television, your not doing anything but enabling yourself to concentrate on whatever it is you might be anticipating or what you are planning to do.
I find when I can be alone with my thoughts about work, my thoughts tend to be far more focused and have a lot more clarity.
First thing I do when I wake up in the morning is workout, I workout in solitude. Typically in a darkened room with music and a television on with no sound. I use the music to meditate. During my workout when I'm alone I get to think about things it's my most creative time in anyway. I also make sure to not look at any emails when I workout because if I do so it tends to distract me and at times can be really mood changing in nature and I need that time to be cleansed of too many external forces or influences, so that I can really have clarity of thought.
When I do have to get to the office, I'm the first one there. I don't like to go to work and immediately be bombarded with external forces, I like easing in to my day, it's what has worked for me whether it was psychological or physiological. The saying “The early bird catches the worm” is one of the oldest and cliche sayings but there is truth to that. I believe showing up early gives me more solitude. It gives me the ability to be at my desk and organize. It also gives me the opportunity to be more prepared because I am putting in the time.
The best way to achieve success is by putting it all on the table, by going for it.
Branding
When you create a brand, I think you have to immediately ask yourself the question. When I put that brand name on the product, or when I say that brand name to a consumer, what does it convey, what are the specific values, the specific features, specific brand attributes, that consumer thinks about or feels or wants, when they hear that name. If I put my brand name on a container of ice cream, I want the consumer who sees that name on the ice cream container to immediately know something about the ice cream there either about to buy or about to eat. The brand is very important to the price value proposition of the consumer. In this age a consumer is making many decisions, how to spend their time, how to spend their money. In many cases since there is so much product out there just the decision to do next, what to spend money on next needs to be made very quickly. What a brand can convey is in a sense what a product is, so that the consumer has the ability to decide quickly whether to spend time or money on that trusting in doing so they will drive value from that transaction. A strong brand is something that creates a chemical reaction in someone when they hear that name or brand name. If I say Disney you know what that is, there is a feeling inside, at some point Disney has had some sort of effect on your life.  
A brand is a very careful balance, between legacy or heritage and innovation. Because the world is changing so much and so quickly it is important for brands in order to be healthy, to continue to be relevant.
The biggest challenge for me with the Disney brand and make it more valuable and more relevant and perhaps return it to it's glory was to battle some traditionalists, who believed that Disney's past was to be revered and in effect not touched. What I mean by that is Disney products need to have the look and the feel and all the brand attributes of the products of the past, and that was the best way to bring it to back to glory and bring it value. I felt that Disney's brand needed to be respected and not revered and there is a big difference. If you revere something you work hard to protect it so that it stays the same and if you do that you might as well put it in a museum case, so that it doesn't change and that no one can touch it. There is no modern external force on it, that changes it in anyway. If you respect a brand then you consider all the reasons is was valuable in the first place. But your doing so in a way that brings those qualities those values forward but also enabling it to change and be relevant in a world that is substantially different from when the brand was created.
After acquiring Marvel, we were very happy to have Marvel's crazy fan base. It was great to have a base because when you have a base that cares so much about your brand that has value, you have a solid foundation, you have something you can build on. We like that rather than starting something from scratch.
We did a lot of research before acquiring Marvel, and we knew it was a strong brand. We knew they way Marvel businesses were run, were different than Disney had been run. Marvel licensed out to many other entities the use of it's brand, Marvel movies for example were made by other entities. Sony, or Columbia Pictures were making Spider-Man, Paramount was named as the distributor that Marvel made. When Disney bought Marvel we thought we would bring all that business in and in fact we would be the creator, the marketer and the distributor of as many things Marvel as possible. We believe that it is the best way to protect brand value and to create more brand value.
The Limitations Of Data
One of the interesting things and challenging aspects of creative storytelling is that you are often giving consumers what they want before they actually know they want it and certainly before they express the fact that they want it. They takes a lot of instinct and courage because your telling a story hoping they want it. Collecting data about a marketplace in order to determine what story your telling or how you tell it, to me is a waste of time. I don't think you ever learn enough from data about what a marketplace wants in terms of story or how a marketplace might react to a story, that decision needs to based more on gut instinct and on confidence level you may have in the creative entity that's telling the story. I'm not a big believer in doing research that in anyway leads to an answer to the question, what does an audience want. I actually believe that research when you bring your creative product to market beforehand doesn't do you much good, it doesn't create a road map or in any way a positive in what you create and how you create it. The collection of data needs to be complimented by real time experience that learning about a market just by looking at numbers on a computer screen may give you some insights but doesn't give you all the insights you necessarily need. One way I like collecting information the most is experience. I like travelling the world, I like interacting with consumers as much as possible, to get a better understanding of the marketplace, of consumers in general. One thing I say to people is that if you don't go, you can't grow, what I mean by that is you have to go to a market and touch and feel and listen to and see the market that your in to gain a better sense of what that market is in.
Importance Of Risk Taking
I believe that in businesses that are changing so fast, in a world that is full of disruption and the unknowns can outweigh the knowns if you if you try to maintain the status quo you are likely to experience more failure than success. The worst thing a company can do in a dynamic work place is to adopt status quo as a strategy. Status quo is a losing strategy. Anything that is new or different is risky but necessary.  Throughout my career I have noticed great risk taking leads to great benefits.
The worst thing that can happen to anyone managing a creative process is to either withdraw or get conservative after you've had a failure. If you do that then your bound to create more failures.
I like taking big risks because I believe it is the surest way to success, in a world that is so dynamic. That being said I don't take risks at any costs, there is still a level of responsibility that you have to exercise, when you make a decision and take a risk. To me risk taking is a result of a well thought out process and I happen to think thoughtfulness is a critical ingredient to good leadership, perhaps one that is the most underrated or unappreciated. One I mean by thoughtfulness is taking the time to study something to gain knowledge about something, so that when you render an opinion or render a judgment, your making the decision based on the collection of some facts or collection of some data, so that it's not impulse at all.
Foster Curiosity
I believe being curious is vital to being successful and when I talk about curiosity I talk about desire to learn new things to have new experiences, to visit new places, to meet new people. When your not curious you never innovate. Innovation is incredibly important to accompany in to a business, in a world, in order to innovate you have to have curiosity it is the root of innovation. I think it's hard to teach people to be curious but I think it's easy to encourage people to be curious, everyone has some sort of level of curiosity in them, sometimes it has to be drawn out. Sometimes it takes time to be curious and you have to give yourself time for that.

Tumblr media
What are skin types?
Anyone whose every looked at skin care products has heard the phrase “skin types.” You’ve maybe even heard the question: What skin type do you have? While this may seem like a simple question, skin types are actually a complicated topic. Your skin type is determined by many factors and has different symptoms—these are described below. In essence, skin type describes the way your skin looks, feels, and interacts with other substances. Skin is the largest organ in the human body. It guards our bodies from externals like weather and sun exposure, while also protecting the inside of our bodies by creating antibacterial substances and manufacturing Vitamin D. Skin also gives us the ability to touch and feel out surroundings. Everyone’s skin performs these functions, no matter your skin type. Skin type, then, describes the way our skin reacts to specific conditions and environments. The most important of these factors is the amount of water and/or oil your skin retains. As you will see below, both too much or too little water and oil in your skin greatly affects how it feels and performs.
Skin Type vs. Skin Conditions
We need to make completely clear that skin type and skin conditions are two different things. Skin types are described below and have to do with the baseline behavior of your skin. Skin conditions, on the other hand, are medical issues that can affect any skin type. For example, the five skin types recognized by most dermatologists are normal, combination, oily, dry, and sensitive. But, some skin conditions include acne, rosacea, and eczema. Other skin conditions include Dehydration Sun damage Hyperpigmentation and other discoloration Lines and wrinkles Rashes Hives Some skin types are more prone to conditions like acne or eczema; however, any of the skin conditions mentioned above can occur for people with any skin type.
What kind of skin type do i have?
Depending on who’s discussing skin types with you, you may hear three to five different types of skin: normal, oily, dry, combination, and/or sensitive. The skin type you have is largely due to genetics, which means that none of them are inherently right or wrong. Knowing your skin type just ensures that you take care of your unique skin properly. If you are still wondering about your skin type, here’s a handle guide to help tell them apart. Normal Skin If you have normal skin, you will be the envy of all of your friends. Normal skin has an appropriate amount of oil and moisture. It also has small pores, few imperfections, and look healthy and glowing. Combination Skin Even if you do not know your skin type, you can probably assume that you have combination skin. Most people have this skin type, which features a blend of dry and oily skin. Often certain areas like the forehead, nose, and chin will be oily, while other areas on the body may be dry. This skin type is fairly acne prone. Oily Skin Oily skin is just that, oily. All areas of your skin will have an oily and shiny surface made by an overproduction of sebum—a mixture of fats, waxes, and oils that protects our skin when produced at normal levels. Sensitive Skin People with sensitive skin tend to be more prone to negative reactions to body care products and reactions such as redness, itching, burning. Sometimes sensitive skin will present as dry skin, because it shares many of the same symptoms. However, if you can change a product or mitigate other triggers to end these symptoms, then you likely have sensitive, not dry, skin. Dry Skin Our topic today, dry skin does not have enough sebum. This creates a dry, red, surface that is prone to wracks and wrinkles. Dry skin often also itches and pulls because it lacks the flexibility of the other skin types.
How do i determine my skin type?
Determining your skin type is fairly simple. First, read through the list above and determine which category your skin falls into. For example, if your skin feels dry all the time and is red or itchy, then you likely have a dry skin type. Second, visit a dermatologist or esthetician. These medical professionals are trained to help determine your exact skin type. They can also give you tips and body care product suggestions for your specific skin type. Third, if you are still confused as to your skin type, you can perform a simple test. Take a blotting sheet or tissue and pat it in different areas around your face. If the tissue comes away very oily, then you likely have oily skin. If the tissue has no oil on it and your skin feels tight, then you likely have dry skin. A combination of oil and dry areas equals—you guessed it—combination skin. Finally, if little oil comes off on the tissue, but your skin feels fine. You likely have a normal skin type.
What's so important about skin types?
Why do you need to know your skin type? It’s simple. Different skin care products are usually designed for the diverse skin types—today you can also buy ones formulated for all skin types, but those are not the norm. If you don’t know your skin type, you could potentially buy a skin care product that could aggravate your skin and hurt instead of help it. Knowing your skin type can also indicate with skin conditions you might be prone to. In general, both dry and oily skin types are prone to acne. Having this knowledge can help you take steps to either prevent or treat various skin conditions.
Can my skin type change?
The short answer is: yes. Skin types can change due to your age, medical conditions, stress levels, or sun exposure. In general, younger people have more normal or combination skin, while skin can get increasingly drier as you age. External factors can also influence your skin type. Most influential among these is the weather. In the Northern hemisphere, fall and winter tend to be dry seasons. Also, the use of heaters tends to suck what little moisture is left right out of the air. This means that your skin could be getting dryer just by you living in your house. In this case, the use of a humidifier could help solve the problem. Finally, internal factors, like your stress level and health, could influence your skin type. If you have a high stress level, the shock to your system could cause your skin to either get drier or oilier depending on your skin type. It can also cause people who have never had any skin problems to develop them. Combating stress with meditation and other self-care practices can help solve your skin issues.
What should I look for in a body wash for dry skin?
For dry skin, more than other skin type, you need to buy a body wash specifically designed for your skin type. This is because using body washes with the wrong ingredients can at worst cause serious damage your skin, or at best, they could createintense discomfort. Instead of buying a generic body wash, for dry skin, you should look for a soap that will introduce more moisture into your skin. There are many ingredients that can do this, including shea butter, jojoba oil, or coconut oil. We discuss the many moisturizing ingredients more fully below. Often because these body washes try to retain as much moisture as possible, you will notice that there is not that much lather. Keep in mind that you don’t need lather to get clean and its absence in your product probably just indicates the company’s attempts to keep undesirable ingredients out of their body wash.
Ingredient to avoid in a body wash
Here are a couple of the most important ingredients to look out for in body washes. Often these are used to create lather, but for people with dry skin they suck more moisture from your already parches skin, making your discomfort greater. Alcohols: Alcohols like SD and Isopropyl can dry out your already dry skin. Fatty alcohols like cetyl will not create the same effect and are fine to have in your body wash. Sulfates: Sulfates are often used to create a lather when they react with water. However, all of them can strip the sebum from the surface of your skin. Sulfates to watch out for include Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, TEA Laureth Sulfate. Many, many body washes on the market include a sulfate. So, if your favorite product has one, don’t worry too much as long as it’s further down on the ingredient list. However, you may want to consider one of the body washes we include on our top five list, none of which contain sulfates. Artificial fragrances: There is a huge list of the artificial fragrances used in body care products. However, on an ingredient list you will likely only see the word, artificial (or added) fragrance. You want to steer clear of these unidentified chemicals. They can create an allergic response, dermatitis, or respiratory problems. Artificial fragrances have even been linked to problems with the reproduction system.
Ingredient to look for in a body wash
Aloe vera: When you see Aloe vera on an ingredient list, it indicates that the gel on the inside of the succulent’s leaves was used in the body wash. This gel has been used for thousands of years to heal burns, wounds, and sores. However, scientific studies are divided on it effectiveness. When you see it in body washes for dry skin, it is there as a moisturizer. But, even as a moisturizer, it can infuse your skin with moisture and sooth any irritated red patches. Glycerin and sorbitol: These two ingredients help put moisture back into your dry skin. So, their inclusion on an ingredient is a good thing. Glycolic and lactic acid: Acids may have a bad reputation. But, glycolic and lactic acid both perform important functions in the reclamation of your skin. They both act as an exfoliant, which can get rid of any dead dry skin cells. They also attract moisture to replace the skin cells they have removed. Jojoba oil: Jojoba oil is a particularly good moisturizer for dry skin because it mimics the waxiness and role of sebum. In essence, it stays on top of the skin and thus keep the moisture in. Jojoba also removes a build-up of other types of oil on the skin and acts as an emollient, which can improve overall skin health and appearance. Coconut oil: Coconut oil is made up of a lot of the good fatty acids that can help your dry skin heal. For example, it’s high levels of lauric acid can prevent microorganisms from growing out of control on your skin. It also has antioxidant properties that stabilize your body’s free radicals. When this happens the amount of inflammation in your body decreases, which is great news for people with dry and inflamed skin. Shea butter: Shea butter is another fatty substance from a plant. It is full ofVitamin A, is extremely hydrating, and increased collagen production. All of these things greatly influence its ability to help dry skin repair and heal. It also can reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, or fine lines. You want to make sure that you use products with raw, unrefined shea butter because that ingredient has the most benefits. Oatmeal: Oatmeal is a cereal that is known for its ability to help calm and sooth irritated skin. You will often find it as an ingredient in eczema body washes or bath soap. However, it can help anyone with dry skin by binding to skin and protecting it against irritants. The fats in oatmeal can also help sooth dry skin’s itchiness. Herbal ingredients: Certain herbs are known for their calming and moisturizing properties. Their addition in a body wash can help treat the irritation that comes along with dry skin. Herbs to look for include lavender and chamomile.
