I have hair that's fair-colored, naturally curly, & fine to medium textured, so it's easy to damage, & naturally dry in our hot & dry to hot & humid climate (central Arkansas). I was told I needed something with a lot of natural moisturizing ingredients, and I started buying TCB ethnic and Aussie Moist shampoos & conditioners again after using many different expensive salon brands for a year or more. But, I love Dove's new 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner! It's great for when I stay with relatives & in-laws, or on the go (i.e. at gyms & public pools) all of which where showers & bathroom time are limited.

I installed Carrier 2-stage AC condensers in my house in NJ in 2009. I have the predecessor of the model your are considering. I have a separate condensers for each floor. My units work great. I can set the temperate at 78-79 degrees and still feel comfortable since the humidity is around 40%. Long runs on the low stage is more efficient than short runs with a single stage AC. My cooling bill is under $400 a year an that's with an electric rate of about $0.18 per KWh. Getting a 2-stage AC is more about comfort than savings. If you live in an area where it tends to be humid, then it is worth the extra money in my opinion. There is a small savings in that you may be able to raise the thermostat setting 1 -2 degrees and still feel comfortable since the humidity is lower. I also like the fact that I rarely hear the AC running.

If it is only showing up on his forehead and cheeks, it could be the shampoo. Try to find a shampoo without Sodium Laurel Sulfate. Difficult to find but they are out there. Does he wash his face with any other products? Something mild like Aveeno might be worth a try. I'd have a dermatologist check for rosacea, which is also accompanied by small broken blood vessels. Any product he is using could make rosacea worse. Even toothpaste has it and I realized recently that some of the other added ingredients in toothpaste was affecting my gums and the inside of my cheeks like a sloughing off of skin. I switched to a more 'regular' toothpaste without all the whiteners, etc and it stopped. Weird and creepy but that's what it was I think.

I was using too much conditioner to combat the frizzies and it was weighing down my curls. Since I switched to shampoo bars and a vinegar rinse a year and a half ago, my hair has much more body and better curls. DH, who had used Head and Shoulders for decades because he said other shampoos made his scalp itch, has had no itching since switching to shampoo bars.
