Be careful. One of the side effects of prostaglandins around and in the eye is periorbital fat loss. This can be good or bad depending upon the structure of your eyelids and amount of fatty tissue surrounding the area. The changes are gradual and most people don't notice it happening until they compare photos of themselves prior to use.

Beyond the desired effect of lengthening the lashes, the eyes may become more sunken; some patients may look better, but some may look worse. I’ve seen lectures promoting Latisse given by doctors who were not aware of this side effect. Clearly, any time a medical professional prescribes a drug, knowing all of the side effects is crucial. https://www.realself.com/Latisse/rev...displayStyle=0 |

Dr. Dray
I don't know about you, but I am a bit freaked out by the videos where Dr. Dray is DRIVING while filming herself giving dermatology and skin care advice.

This isn't really a beauty question but it IS a skin question. In late July I had to use prescription eye drops that were a steroid/antibiotic. I developed a terrible skin reaction to them and all around my eye was red, itchy, scaly. It took about three weeks for the skin to mostly clear up after stopping the drops. My problem is that now, even though my eye and surrounding skin look normal, the skin still hurts if I rub it and it never did before the allergic reaction. I am not really into products so I don't have much, but does anyone have any ideas for getting rid of the pain? Is there a cream or smthg that might help get back whatever my skin seems to have lost? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I find that my hair seems to require richer/more moisturizing conditioners now that the percentage of grays has grown larger. I like Biolage Conditioning Balm (the really rich one) but their entire line Hydrasource is good. My own hair is quite fine and wavy, prone to being weighted down, so I use my regular shampoo and cream rinse, with some of the richer conditioner added in the middle.
