Has anyone ever tried the FACE Hydrating Balancing cream from sephora?

If you did, how did it work for you? My nose gets very oily throughout the day, but around my mouth and jaw area, it's really dry. I use Clinique cleanser and toner and that works great, but I'm looking for a new moisturizer. Any ideas on if this one from Sephora works or any others?Has anyone ever tried the FACE Hydrating Balancing cream from sephora?
yes it does

Ice cream okay to help re-hydrate?

I need to get my cat re-hydrated. All she will accept (I have offered her everything I can think of) is vanilla ice cream. Will that be okay? I figured something liquid is better than nothing liquid.Ice cream okay to help re-hydrate?
Hi, ice cream will screw their tummies up. It is one thing to give a healthy cat ice cream licks, then when they throw it up it is no biggee... but not a sick one, especially since throwing up will dehydrate kitty even more.


Honestly, this will sound odd, but I have used this remedy for years....


Go to the store and by some Gerber rice baby cereal.


Mix up a tiny tiny bit with water and the kitty will lap it up. The rice cereal will help it stay down and intice kitty to eat it. If the water doesn't work, use milk to mix it. Have cool water out for kitty to get at if she wants it. Usually once they get a lil of that cerel on their belly, they will start drinking the water.


I had a momma kitty years ago that got an illness that left sores on her tongue, unfortunatley her five lil kittens got it too. My sis told me about the cereal thing and I was able to nurse them all back to health. When I took them in for their shots and told the vet, he said that if I hadn't done that they would have probably all died. I have used this treatment one other time when one of my cats (one of the five kittens/we kept two) got a respiratory ailment and would not eat or drink. Even if you can get her to take just a lil every hour or so it will help a lot... but for the ice cream... I wouldn't, ice cream is much richer than milk and can make them throw up which is the last thing you want her to do.


Good luck to you and kitty!!!! :)


Ice cream okay to help re-hydrate?
Ice cream contains milk/cream, which causes diarrhea, which dehydrates.





So, you really should try something else. Try ice (if she seems to respond to the cold), or frozen beef or chicken broth. Warm beef/chicken broth is also a good option.





Put some vanilla in some water and see if she'll take that. (She may be drawn to the smell) A drop or 2 of vanilla extract in a gallon of water may fool her.





If not, use a baby's medicine shooter to drip some water into her.
Some kitties are lactose-intolerant.





You should give her kitty ice cream (no lie--they make it) or lactose-free milk or ';cat milk'; (which is processed to be easier for kitties to digest.)





You don't want to have to deal with diarrhea because your kitty can't digest lactose well.





Have you tried gravy? A little lukewarm gravy might be nice.
Do you have a plastic syringe? Remove the needle, put some water in and slowly put some liquid in your cats mouth a few drops at a time.





Feed your cat canned food, it has lots of water in it. As far as the ice cream well, the sugar in it is really not good but give anything a try. Also ice cubes might work as well. Try plain yogurt too.
How do you know she's dehydrated? Why is she dehydrated?


Ice cream is not good for her and will likely make the problem worse. If after the below stuff is tried, Go to the store and get GOATS MILK it's usually in the health food section.


It's about 3 dollars a quart here, but hey, it's worth her life right?


Anything with cows milk should not be given, when she's HEALTHY a TINY bit in moderation is ok (I let my kitty have about a teaspoon of ice cream, not chocolate of course) Cow's milk is too hard for them to digest, Goats milk is actually used to nurse orphaned kittens (I've used it )





Try tuna, wet food(make sure it's a ';stinky'; one ie salmon or something) chicken broth (unsalted!!!) and mix it with water.





If she is under a vets care, then go ahead and syringe her.


Get a syringe (just a dollar or two at walmart) and gentle put it in teh corner of her mouth and slowly push the syringe. Give her a break and do it again if necessary. Make sure she does not aspirate (water bubbles from her nose)

Good luck
The sugar in it is probably not that good for her. Call the vet to be sure. Did you try just milk? I've heard that isn't good for a cat either, but better than all the sugar in ice cream.
no ice cream is bad for cats! the milk that we drink is bad for cats too drink.


If you have give your cat some milk too rehydrate give your cat the mothers milk that sell at store ok.
It is slightly better than nothing but the sugar/milk/etc can make a sick cat sicker. He really needs to see a vet for help and proper rehydration.
It should be alright, just add a bit of whole milk to the bowl and warm it just a bit as to not give her a kitty brain freeze.
No, it may upset her belly worse. Try chicken stock (not canned or anything since that is very salty- make your own), or baby food or plain canned squash.
Ice cream is a sweet food which is forbidden for cats as all sweets
oh yes good hydration try gatorade too.
Bring your cat to the vet and see what's wrong.
no cats are lactose intolerant.
it'll be fine!
well i guess, but she/he might get worms .try maybe some tuna it has liquid in it /try milk thats probably why she likes icecream
ice cream is food of the gods


ur cat doesnt deserve it

  • Why is all shave creams and gels dontwork for a hydrated smooth shave but Dove soap does?

    I mean soap is supposed to be the one thing people stop using if they have dry sensitive skin... but soap ( Dove Sensitive) Soap Bar works best for a hyrdrated smooth shave shwy is that?Why is all shave creams and gels dontwork for a hydrated smooth shave but Dove soap does?
    I don't know, really. I always put Dove conditioner on my legs %26amp; a week ago I switched to actual shaving cream %26amp; noticed the shave wasn't as smooth. Change razors, maybe it isnt sharp enough.

    What hydrates skin more? A serum or a cream??

    I heard on TV that serums are better...is it true?What hydrates skin more? A serum or a cream??
    A serum is good as a protective layer. Boots No 7 perfect and protect is really great. Or origins perfect world antioxidant serum is fab.


    Overall though, I find a cream is better to moisturise deeply. Once or twice a week you should gently exfoliate and then apply a hydrating face mask to get the best results from all your products =)What hydrates skin more? A serum or a cream??
    They hydrate equally well.


    I think that my serum moisturizers last a bit longer though, though both can leave skin looking shiny if you use too much.





    My favorite serum is vespera,


    Part of the Exuviance skincare line purchasable at ulta cosmetic stores.





    It leaves skin soft and smooth, and can be used on face, neck/chest, and even lips.


    I use it when I get out of the shower to lock in moisture, so it will be locked in by the time I get dressed/apply makeup.





    Not really oily either, so long as you use a small amount, and rub in well.

    Cream Vs Lotion. i have a dry skin which one is better in hydrate my skin all day cream moisturizers or lotion

    I use Nivea lotion which is thick like a cream and it stays on all day. I have dry skin in the wintertime, and this is a real good lotion. It also comes in a cream too.


    You can purchase it at Walgreens, Walmart, or any supermarket chain.Cream Vs Lotion. i have a dry skin which one is better in hydrate my skin all day cream moisturizers or lotion
    send me an email and provide a mailing address of some kind and I will send you a sample of the brand that I manufacture.. It is a full body cream/lotion.. not trying to sell you anything.. but if you want to order some after you have tried it.. you will know where to find it..Cream Vs Lotion. i have a dry skin which one is better in hydrate my skin all day cream moisturizers or lotion
    Probably Lotion.


    I have dry skin too.


    I use aveeno.


    :D
    Cream is only when you have a itchy spot that may have a bump but lotion might help you not have any more dry skin.
    I think that Curel overnight repair lotion works good, pretty good price too.
    cream.


    cream can last for a long time on dry skin.


    it moisturizes you more than lotion.


    a cream hydrates and if you get the right kind can last for hours.





    lotion moisturizes you for a period of time, mostly for people who have less dry skin. it's a quick put on and go. and sometimes lotion has a lot of ingredients in it that can irritate dry skin.





    i have dry skin and i use cream.

    Hydrating creams verses moisturizing creams?

    I would like to know in detail what hydrating creams mean verses moisturizing creams. I am doing a paper on this subject and have some problems trying to get the whole issue together. Thank you , KCH in NYHydrating creams verses moisturizing creams?
    The names mean the same thing. The basic ingredients are water and some sort of fat or oil to keep the water from leaving the skin.
