Please don't buy anything from those fancy soap places. I usually don't like the smell and don't have anyplace for the soaps. I also don't use all sorts of creams, not even hand cream. Before Passover I finally threw out some, which I had been holding onto for years. I didn't like the smell and they didn't make my hands feel better.
Sometimes in malls, when salespeople accost me trying to sell hand cream, I agree to try, explaining that I never buy before sampling. One time I had forgotten that I had some on my hands and was horrified, disgusted when I washed my hands afterwards, because it felt disgusting grease was coming out of the faucet. Until I realized that the water was "loosening" or "liquefying" that cream...
I also don't like a lot of the face creams; they hurt, burn. A couple of times when salespeople urged me to sample cleanser creams I insisted they remove them immediately, because I was in pain. One saleswomen had the nerve, chutzpah to argue with me. Another time the saleswoman was very nice, explaining that she, too, was sensitive to many brands.
My sister had a terrible reaction to a skin product a couple of months ago. Her skin burnt and peeled and swelled - awful! So what did the (big manufacturing) company do when she complained...? Sent her a coupon! Luckily, it could be used for other brands from the same company: she bought Aveeno, an oatmeal-based anti-itch cream to stave off the itching from the initial product! :-o
ReplyDeleteThat's frightening. I'm curious about the Aveeno. Where did she get it?
