I'm moving to Germany in 6 months and aside from Dr. H, are there any Gems in Europe that you ladies love that those of us in the States either don't have access too or can't get easily?
I'm open for suggestions! I'm looking to reading this! thank you!! |

| European sunscreens like La Roche Posay, Avene and Bioderma are loved by many ppl. However it is easier to get Bioderma in France, not so in Germany. |

I go to Germany at least once a year, and I always get: ROC Enydrial. It is a hand cream that is fantastic - stays on and really moisturizes. I urge you to try it. No, You must try it.
Also, I usually find various masks to play with - the pharmacies are wonderful over there! |

If you like organic skincare, I can recommend: Martina Gebhardt, i+m Naturkosmetik, Logona and Tautropfen. Lots to try, I hope you enjoy it here!  |

Hi Deanne
I“ve lived here in Germany for the past 15 years but am American. You can find the Babor products here, of course. On the other hand, you will discover that cosmeticians are not too fond of what they consider "aggressive" acid (saure) approach to skin care- hence it will be difficult to talk to them about Vit.C serums and Retinol products, let alone hydroxy(?)facial peels. Don“t even mention hydroquinone! They are conservative in this regard compared to the American market. At some select pharmacies (Apotheke) you can find SkinCeuticals products- very pricey indeed. I would advise you to stalk up on any skin care items state side! That“s my opinion!
But you will find the holistic approach to wellness quite refreshing too I think.
Schoene Zeit wuensche ich Dir!

Thank you. We are moving to Baumhaulder. It seems to be pretty remote, but suppose to be very beautiful. Truthfully, I'm a bit nervous to be moving to a new country. I mean, visiting would be cool, but moving has my stomach in knots. hehe I don't even speak German (good chance to learn, eh?).
<SIGH> Everyone is very happy for us and I keep going from excited to depressed. Isn't that sad? Thank you for all the ideas. Oh, Flannery! I never thought of stocking up on stuff here. Good grief, now I'm going to have to whittle down my bathroom cabinets to see what I 'can't live without' and then see if it is available over there.....man, does this move have anything simple going for it? 
Don't mind me, I have since been to start the paperwork for passports....that's over $300for my family!!! And it takes forever to get these. Right now I'm being quoted as 2 months (if everything goes quickly). Wow! Who knew trying to leave the country for a few years was such a pain...not to mention that we are moving to an apartment....most of my house has to be put in storage.  I hate apartments. I think the worst part is I may not be able to afford all my animals right away. My best friend said she would look after my Beagle until I can afford to send for him, but it breaks my heart that I can't take my cat and both dogs at one time. My daughter is heart broken about leaving her hamster. We are going to ask my sister if she will look after him for us (I can't break the news to my 6 year old that the hamster won't survive the 3 years we are away. He is already 15 months old).
Thanks for listening to me whine. I really am looking forward to the actually being there part....just not all the prep up to it. Thanks for listening. |

| I love Babor products. They are made in Germany. Good luck with your move. How exciting it must be! I remember many years ago my sister moved to Germany for a year. She stocked up on peanut butter and other favorites. It's probably different now. |
