[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 343006, member: 1991"] I'm actually not concocting my own cream - I prefer to use each ingredient separately, according to what I need. I'll actually cut out the gel from inside the aloe vera leaf and apply it directly. Sometimes I cop it up but you should never have any coloured part of the plant in it, only the clear gel. With vegetable oil, I will change to different oils depending on what viscosity and penetration I'm after. Usually I'll finish with vegetable oil to help keep any active principle of the previous stuff neatly in place. I used to make up my own creams though. I used beeswax to thicken an emulsion. Trouble is, it required heating up and I prefer to not heat up ingredients these days, it speeds up the rate of decomposition. And the BEST toner for sensitive skin is cold fresh strong chamomile tea. Nothing else. I just had a visit from a good friend (with large mammaries!) who showed me her lumpectomy scar. hers was actually quite complicated because her first surgeon was a total incompetent idiot who really messed her up. It was also over 10 years ago. I have a lot of faith that my surgeon is not going to mess me up - but even if she did, if my scar looks as good as my friend's, especially considering her surgeon was guddling around in there without a clue, then I'm happy with it. She reminded me though, that I need to call the surgeon's secretary, because I'm concerned that what I was told on Tuesday is not what I was told afterwards. I don't want to get in there next Friday and discover that because stuff wasn't booked, I now have to wait longer. Time for a phone call. Marg [/QUOTE]
