Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hi: I am still a Kay consultant and I know that the company stays way ahead in the mandates concerning the safety of their skin care line compared to many other companies. I still refuse to sell fragrances or the items that have fragrance in them because I know how dangerous they are. I became very masked to the fragrances and found some of them to be actually " addictive. " A friend of mine is an Avon rep. and all I will say is she is now developing symptoms of FM. All I can say is that there are many companies really rebelling against the changes that need to be made- Please remember that even though you may not be affected by fragrance that there are many of us who can not be in public places if you continue to wear it- including innocent little children Wanda & stephanie woolf wrote: I've used Estee Lauder, Clinique, Avon, Kay both before and after the fibro and have no issues with perfumes, or fragrance from my cosmetics. I've learned if I try to look my best every day it boosts my self esteem even if I don't feel well. Cleaning products however are another story entirely from me. I have a friend that sold avon for awhile she has RA and FMS but she finally had to stop due to it wearing her out physically. I haven't found much I can do from home as I have too many limitations and am 33 and just getting ready to get my motor scooter. I am sure however, there are things that can be done...transcription, research, etc. Or if you have a hobby you can advertise on EBAY. I sell my books on there quite frequently.

During this time my use of my asthma inhaler radically increased but I failed to make a connection! (DUH) I had all kinds of horrific symptoms even major bladder pain but never figured out that I was reacting to the fragrance until an EI doctor explained it to me.
