A Wonder for Your Face - Take 2

My great Wonderbar experiment was pre-empted because I ran out of my samples. Oops. At the end of a month, I was not able to see any noticeable differences in my skin to make me think this is the answer to my skin woes. I spoke the people at Wonderbar who said that some women see changes sooner than others and I should try it for another month. Luckily, a friend had attended a beauty event and got a large sample in her goody bag and gave it to me so here we go with round 2!

I decided since I had a larger bar I am going to test my face, neck, back of my legs and scalp and see what happens. I used the product for a week and I started to see the "healing crisis" that the site talks about on my face. My skin was dry and really itchy and I got red in the corners of my eyes, nose and mouth. They are right to call it a crisis because there is nothing good about it and all I have to say is thank goodness for cover up. The itching went away after that first week. I will disclose that I got a facial and peel yesterday so the dryness is almost all cleared up.

Now my neck is a different story. I have an ugly red rash across my neck - my friend commented that it looked like someone tried to strangle me with a rope! Good thing I have a large supply of turtlenecks to keep me covered. I called Wonderbar and they said this is quite normal and all part of the healing that the skin needs to go through. I'm told the skin will turn brown and eventually the dead skin will peel off, and I will have much softer skin once it does. Sounds almost like what happens with a bad sunburn. Time will tell what happens on my neck.

Stay tuned!
