Sebaceous hyperplasia removal.

If you have sensitive skin or rosacea, you've got to try Fairface Washcloths made with plush, soft flannel. Once you've tried the softness of Fairface Washcloths, you'll never use scratchy old washcloths again.

It Cosmetics is known as the go-to make-up for Rosacea and Sensitive Skin, but is it really Rosacea-friendly?

In this episode I share what happened when I tried It Cosmetics on my sensitive rosacea-prone skin for the first time.

If you have rosacea and are considering It Cosmetics, I hope this helps you hear my experience.

Navigating through Rosacea and Sensitive Skin can be so stressful, but I want to take some of that stress away! Today I'm sharing a little about the NEW digital Skin Care Guides I've created that will help you take the mystery out of rosacea - sensitive skin care and give you a place to start. PLUS my other Skin Care Guides will focus on lifestyle tips that I can't live without, as well as tips for caring for your skin while you travel, spend a day at the beach, and much more so you don't have to struggle like I did. Lots of great information, all in one place. *Pick up your copies of our Newest Digital Skin Care Guides - Available Now - thru our Etsy shop!

I've been using 2 Olay products on my sensitive rosacea prone skin. One for almost a year, and another for just a few couple months.

Have you ever thought of selling the beautiful things you sew, online through Etsy or your own website? I considered that too, over 12 years ago now, and I haven't stopped since!

Thousands upon thousands of washcloths later (I'm the founder of @FairfaceWashcloths by the way), I've decided to share everything I wish I had known when I first started sewing my own products and selling them on Etsy, and sharing it all with you!

The things I learned and systems I developed helped me not only scale my production abilities from the low double digits to 1,000's of washcloths cut and sewn each cycle, but also expand to our own website, create more products, host a popular podcast and more.

If you want to take the leap and start selling your own sewn products, then this episode is for you AND so are our New Cut Sew Grow Courses!
