I moved to Louisiana from Ireland about two years ago and have been struggling to regain control over my skin care and make up ever since. I've changed from a combination skin & normal hair to super dry, frizzy, everything despite a military assault of TLC of 0.o
Firstly, I've gained many allergies, so I tend to stick to super natural products, very little product and find anything I do use is likely to irritate or wash off throughout the day. Make up just sits on my face - it's horrible!
The next problem I have is my hair! It's driving me crazy. It won't hold a curl, go straight and has gained this crazy 80's frizzy volume and irregular wave - I'm starting to feel like I don't know my body anymore. It's really knocking my confidence.
I've tried going back to basics, going natural (which I hated) and even rocked the white girl weave (tempting!) but I was hoping someone overcame a similar experience or lives in a hot, humid climate and can relate!

I moved from California to Florida and I feel your pain. I went from having no allergy issues to having raging allergies and to me its shocking considering I came from a smog infested city. Go figure. My hair went crazy bonkers and my skin....complete nightmare. I have family in Louisiana who aren't natives of the state either and I know the first thing they did was get a water softner and learned to switch up hair products in the hot humid summer months. I've had to do the same living here in Florida. If you can't afford a water softner I highly suggest installing a shower head that will retain those nasty minerals in the water. I think you can also get a special faucet for your sink as well. The water down here in the south isnt exactly the greatest and if you live on a property that maintains well water then you really need a filter systen of some kind. I know once we put in a water filtration system my skin maintained some normalacy and my hair behaves so much better.

something about changing states. I'm originally from Connecticut and now live in Missouri. Now I can't wear Almay makeup or any lipstocks that contain menthol. Quite frustrating :/

Thanks Shelley! I didn't even think about water! I'm moving to Florida soon and worry its going to be even worst. I'm glad it helped you, I'll try it out - could be the missing link as it affected everything!

I share your frustration Lolita! Menthol is a really popular ingredient too, it's very difficult to find stuff without chemicals much less something more natural :(
