Re: Skin irritation - more questions

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the alcohol clarification. I'll stick with the 90%.

We're still quite warm down here this month, so I may opt to try the

twice per day washing of the hair for a week or so. (It's 70 degrees

here today). Then, when it gets cooler, she may have adjusted more

to her band and not sweat as much. But at the first sign of dry

skin, I'll back the shampooing down.

I've heard of some shampoos that don't use water -- it's for people

with highly sensitive skin. Does anyone know what kind it is and

where to find it?
