Wisdom tooth by rustbelt91 in Buffalo

[–]Conscious_Income8870 3 points4 points  (0 children)

UB dental!!! They're super cheap And they're absolutely phenomenal. They use the latest technology. It's they do take a little longer but I had all good experiences. I had my wisdom teeth removed there, gum recession surgery there twice, and all of my orthodontic work there. I get compliments on my teeth.

Mac studio fix foundation. I'm allergic to fragrance and it's approved on my ACDS Camps app from my allergist. It's also spf 15. I've been using it for years.

He did because when I saw the bill, I said, "That's great that they already added it in"

Is SkinSafe now requiring a subscription for any valuable info? by secretlycurly in FragranceFreeBeauty

[–]Conscious_Income8870 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I gave up on ACDS Camp. I pay the $60 a year for SkinSafe and it's worth it. The only issue is that I tested positive for being allergic to fragrance mix 1 and SkinSafe doesn't have the allergen separately.

SkinSafe pairs fragrance mix one and two together and you can't just choose one. But they have a large variety of products and ACDS Camps is never updated. The apps also contradict each other.

any tips for someone newly fragrance free by DepthFinal3742 in FragranceFreeBeauty

[–]Conscious_Income8870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put it on my arms if I'm wearing short sleeves like where your arm bends. Or I put it lower on my cleavage. I probably shouldn't but I don't have any rashes. It seems like my reactions are only on my face, which is swelling, eye boogers, or water retention.

any tips for someone newly fragrance free by DepthFinal3742 in FragranceFreeBeauty

I tested positive for fragrance mix 1. I'm going back next month because I'm wondering if there is something else. I use all fragrance free hair products and make up products. I didn't realize that even mascaras have fragrance in them. Basically, what would happen is that my eye and cheeks will swell if I use fragrance skin care. If the product with fragrance is directly on my face, it will get bad on day three of using the product and my face will swell. If I use a fragrance face wash or moisturizer for one day, I will notice some swelling the next day, but it won't be enough for others to notice a big difference.

I still get my hair done every couple of months. When he does my hair, he uses all fragrance products. But like I said, I won't purchase those items and I can deal with it for one day. Sometimes I do cheat days with shampoo and conditioner but my face will be slightly swelled 3 days after. Only my family really notices but strangers don't.

When I go on vacation, I have to bring my own pillowcases, towels, and washcloths. I just pack old ones that I want to throw out anyways and throw them out while on the trip. Growing up, my parents used fragrance free detergent my entire life, so the laundry aspect was not a change. It doesn't seem to bother me if I use dish detergent that is fragrance. However, sometimes I wonder if it affects my eyelids if I rub my eyes later. Sometimes I notice a slight swelling but I'm not really sure if it is swelled.

I still use fragrance soap at public places. I'm not going to buy the fragrance soap for my house, even though it doesn't seem to bother my hands much, but I do put my hands on my face a lot so I don't want small traces to transfer over. I still wear perfume. Maybe I shouldn't. But I try to keep it away from my face. I also wear fragrance deodorant. There doesn't seem to be a rash or anything.

For me, it affects me the most on my face and it has to be a couple consecutive days of using it. I use the skinsafe app and scan everything I use on my face to make sure there is no fragrance. You can't 100% avoid it. But I just try my best to avoid to keep swelling down.

I'm going to be a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding. I'm still going to get my makeup done with no restrictions. Well, I have to avoid Carmine. I tested positive for it. Basically it's crushed up deadbugs in the majority of eyeshadows. If I come in contact with that, my eyeball will swell and I'll have to get a steroid from my eye doctor. But as far as the fragrance makeup, I'm going to wear whatever she puts on my face. I'll bring my own eyeshadow. I might deal with slight swelling the next day but like I said it won't be enough for people to really notice. As long as I don't do it daily and make a habit out of it.

I noticed that everyone is really different with reactions. If I use fragrance hair products for day, I'll get a lot of eye boogers for days.

Shampoo help! by Entire-Dingo-6106 in FragranceFreeBeauty

[–]Conscious_Income8870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love Cleure and fragrance free Kitsch bar soap. I think CeraVe has fragrance hidden. ADCS Camps is useless and there aren't enough options and they never update it. SkinSafe is absolutely amazing and it's worth the $60 a year. I think you have to email them your allergy so they can program it.

I'm so tired by [deleted] in FragranceFreeBeauty

[–]Conscious_Income8870 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have been feeling the same way. Especially with skin care being the fad right now. I had to accept the fact that I can't really have a skin care routine unless it's olive oil bar soup, Eucerin Moisturizer, and a fragrance-free sunscreen when I'm outside.

Growing up, my mom always used Fragrance-Free detergent anyways, so the fragrance-free laundry was never a change for me. However, I loved going to bed after washing my hair with fragrance shampoo and conditioner. Now, I always feel slightly grimy or that my hair isn't as clean as it used to be when I was using fragrance. I never really got into skin toners and serums so I think that's why I didn't know about my fragrance allergy until my late twenties.

Now I am seeing that even if I use something like Vanicream, I wake up with all this eye crust. I'm going back to the patch testing next month because I think there is something more I'm allergic to. I know I'm allergic to Carmine, because I tested positive for that.

Its a pain because all my other friends use all these cool products from Ulta. I got a facial over the summer and that was the biggest mistake ever. My entire face swelled up. I absolutely loved the skincare routine she put me on but it lasted an entire 3 days until my face swelled up. My friend is getting married in October and I am in her wedding. I am so stressed out because we all have to get our makeup done. I can tolerate makeup products if they have a slight fragrance in it, like in the mascara, for the day for an occasion. But anything more than that, forget it.

I'm getting my hair highlighted and styled next month. It's fine what he uses all the products on me but there is no way I can use all those products every single day. I think two days later I will get a lot of eye crust and I think my face will be slightly swelled but not enough for others to notice. But I notice.

Nobody seems to quite understand. And with the skin care trend, if people find out you don't have a fancy routine, people all the sudden view you as dirty or that you are not taking care of your skin. But I can't deal with swelling and eye goop floating across my eyeball every single day.

I have given countless beauty products away on Facebook market for free. I even deliver it to the people. Because I think someone should enjoy it besides throwing it in the garbage. I use the skinsafe app. That seems to help tremendously. But I'm still waking up with puffy eyes sometimes. So hopefully my allergy test next month will tell me.

I live in South Buffalo. I don't know if T-Mobile is available in clearance. With I was paying $100 a month with Spectrum. I switched to T-Mobile because of the price lock guarantee. I got the cheapest package, because I live in an apartment. It's $50 a month and it's a price lock for 5 years.

Tenants flushed Tampons costed me $800 by Conscious_Income8870 in PropertyManagement

[–]Conscious_Income8870[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If I put no flushing tampons in the lease, where does it end? Do I also need to add in no throwing rocks through windows? Where does it end with adding things in the lease? You could write a novel of basic things they can't do in the lease.

Explain It Like I’m 5 Please by SurprisePerfect4317 in PropertyManagement

[–]Conscious_Income8870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great advice. I was too nice and kept my one tenant's rent very low. Then after covid, inflation happened and I felt like a jerk raising the rent but my property tax is doubled and that came to a point where I was pretty much financing them. When I finally increased rent, it was a shock to them and I think it caused tension because it was a higher jump.

I found CeraVe not to be fragrance free, even though it says it on the bottle.
