Chinstrap chaffing

Post by CarrieS » Fri Mar 07, 2008 1:10 pm

It didnt use to be a problem but my topaz is starting to make really dry patches on my face - under my smile ends. Ive tried cleaning it more and moisturizing and nothing seems to help Ims tarting to look funny - makeup only covers color not texture. Any ideas? or somilar problems?

allergic skin reaction maybe?

Have you tried placing a strip of fleece or other soft fabric between your skin and chinstrap?
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

Mine gives me acne. And yes, I wash it regularly, and my face regularly...

My idea? I'm asking another forum member with more sewing skills than I to create a natural fiber version. Mailing off the Topz and the fabric as soon as I log off here, in face.

I'll keep you posted on the results. She might have a new side-job....

LOL,

Try a Respironics!

I bought a Topaz chinstrap, and I think that the design is great. Unfortunately, I cannot wear the thing for more than 30 seconds because it really doesn't breathe at all. I switched to the Respironics Premium chinstrap, and it is very comfy, and doesn't (usually) come off during the night.

Good luck!!!
