Cornstarch and overly Warm Bath Water (Was RE: Tea Tree and Diabetes)

Hi folks!

not.

 

I've personally never heard that (doesn't mean its not true, just means

I haven't heard it) but I HAVE heard of folks with Candida issues not

using cornstarch in bath products as Candida just loves cornstarch - its

a feast for the yeast ..

Actually bath water that is too hot is damaging to ALL skin and skin

types. It strips the skin of natural oils and makes oily skin produce

even more oil, makes dry skin even dryer, and overall is not a good

thing. Also when taking a shower (or bath) it is most beneficial for the

skin to rinse off with cool water before exiting the shower (or bath).
