    SO I have a HUGE dilemma.
    Currently my husband is doing the diet since I am still nursing our baby, BUT I am planning to do it with him again in April.
    I work in a cosmetic field and also do facials, soooo I HAVE to wear makeup and have to use creams what is NOT oil free.
    I have had a few coworkers in the department who still used all their makeup and skincare WHILE on the HCG DIET, and they were able to still use weight pretty successfully.
    I KNOW the original protocol says certain things I can do and can not BUT it is my job and I HAVE to use them with my hands for my clients.
    SOOOO any recommendation, ideas,thoughts on this for me would be greatly appreciated.

    rijuhu- are you an estitician? I am a MA for MAC cosmetics, I can tell you that using all my creams/lotions and potions def stalled me. For me the solution was to stop using them on myself and used a brush for everything at work. Howeever our dress code calls for a "full face of make up" I used an oil free foundation, and then used minerals for everything else, switched to lipstick instead of gloss. Hope ths helps. If your an estitician though it will prb be harder and I dont have the answer and you have to do the massage etc and gloves prob won't work.... LOL i get facials all the time and it would be weird if they used gloves.
