Thread: Allergies

So I suffer from pretty hardcore allergies. This means that I am doomed to use unscented soaps for the most part and I can not use aftershaves or colognes because of nose sensitivities.

Does anyone else here suffer from bad allergies and what do you do for after shave face care when you can't use aftershave etc.

This might be a stretch, and not to make light of the situation (much), but maybe a little eau de benadryl A/S splash?

Nivea has an unscented, sensetive skin AS balm that can be found inexpensively at most pharmacies,grocery stores and Wal Mart.

Hah I wish it were that simple. I take Zyrtec daily along with benedryl when needed but a lot of colognes will still bust through that protection and cause sneezing fits and misery. Standing in an elevator next to a woman that bathes in perfume is enough to set it off.

Funny, when I walk past one of those "Nuttediesel" (Bavarian slang for the stuff hookers - Nutten- splash on themselves to cover the stench) shops in a mall I get a migraine.

I try and avoid the shops, or just stay out of malls.

Dermatologists generally recommend Ivory soap, or Dove as being hypoallergenic. I wonder what kind of a lather could be made up with a little glycerin added.
