Thank you for the lovely feedback, it is always great to hear our products are helping people.

You should have no problem clearing up your perioral dermatitis using our hypo allergenic face and body balm. Apply it to the affected area 3-4 times a day. Also apply it before your go swimming as chlorine will irritate your skin. Apply it fairly thickly so it leaves a shin on your skin before you have any dental work done to provide a barrier to the chemicals in the latex. When the dental work is finished, remove the balm which should have captured the irritants that would normally be absorbed by your skin with a cleanser such as cetaphil or any suitable soap free cleanser. Then apply a fresh layer of balm to soothe your skin.

I would also advise taking a good strength multivitamin containing all essential nutrients especially all the B group, C, zinc and A & D. I once was sceptical about multivitamins as what the body doesn't use is excreted in the urine leading to the idea "That taking multivitamins when you have a good diet just gives you the most expensive urine in the world." I believed that for 10 years but now I have seen such good results with long term vitamin supplementation for general health that I recommend a good multivitamin everyday for all my clients except those on medications that would react badly with vitamins (mainly anti-cancer drugs).

Vitamins are very beneficial for skin that repairs itself frequently such as the lips, face & inside the mouth. Vitamins alone will not do a lot for your condition but along with the balm they should help a lot.

Introducing David's Hypoallergenic Face and Body Balm

We formulated the lavender -free balm (removed the lavender oil) for infants, babys and children with hypersensitivities. The hypoallergenic balm should work precisely the same as our Lavender Balm product, although, of course, it does not come with the lovely smell and color of the Lavender oil.

The hypo allergenic product without lavender oil conforms to the guidelines of Sue Dengate ( see; http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info/) who is prominent in helping children with food additive sensitivities. These children also tend to have eczema and so the Hypoallergenic product without lavender was born after requests from a number of customers. Directions for use are exactly the same as for David's Soothing Lavender Face & Body Balm.
