Hello girls!
So, I have very sensitive skin and if I ever use a product that is slightly too strong, my skin will react with dry spots all over my face :( (Which happens a lot!)
I've been reading all the reviews, but can't seem to decide what face treatment to get? Since I have combination to dry skin (only becomes dry when I use a product that isnt right for me) I need something for sensitive skin, reasonably affordable, and does the trick?
What is your favorite face treatment products?
Thanks dolls! x

How sensitive is your skin? Does it react when you use certain products, or every product? If it seems to be certain brands or ingredients that your skin doesn't like then I would look into brands like Trilogy, Sukin or anything natural based and minimalistic in their ingredients list. If you seem to react to almost everything, or don't mind spending more than supermarket prices, you may like to look into the Avene range (there are a few products on Beauty Review). It is extremely popular for people with very sensitive skin, and I have never come across anybody who has reacted to it. I have combination skin and love their light hydrating cream for during the day. It is a small tube but it has lasted me a very long time. You may also like the thermal spring water for when you have reacted to something as it is very soothing. The brand is very generous with their samples so it is something you would be able to try before you buy xx
I also love rosehip oil. My skin is combination but prone to dryness (doesn't react well to most cleansers, etc), but since I started using it this year I've barely had any problems with dry patches, which is amazing. There are a few supermarket brands which are affordable - Essano is one, and I believe that Skinfood has a rosehip oil also now. :)
Check the ingredients list of any that made your skin worse. Look for products that avoid those ingredients. I know preservatives, sls and slas cause problems for some people. Are you more sensitive in certain times of the year? Are you allergic to anything? Have you been using too many scrubs? as over scrubbing can make it worse.
Consider going for a vegetarian or vegan option. There are some good options out there.
See if the brand you want to try has a trial size that you can purchase. Cheaper than buying a full size and having to get rid of it when you have a sensitive reaction.
I have been using Essano for the past few months and had not problems but my skin is not particularly sensitive. If I scrub too often, I do go a little red.

Hey sweets, I totally know what you mean. I have the same problem, but Beauty Review sent me a Thursday Plantation Rose Hip Oil to try awhile back and its my holy grail product. It has done wonders for my skin and now my skin is not so dry. At night time for extra moisturisation (is that a word lol), I put on the Rosehip Oil and then apply Tony Moly Panda's Dream White Magic Cream and use a CC Cream to go over it in the day time, my skin is now glowing and I now don't get the dry patches. Hope that helps xxx
Before joinING here I had mega sensitive dry skin.
Now following brand advise I can use products like skin care and also full makeup.
Start with Oasis Beauty. You can request samples for free from them. They give you 3. Then when you place orders ask for a different sample. Hot toddy and beauty sleep are my number ones from them.

Ooh ooh ooh I can help!!!!
OK so for weeks now I've had angular cheilitis (split in the corner of my mouth, dry, makes me look like the joker, ugh, yuck etc) and eczema on my outer lips and near my dimple. Nothing has helped, 8 hour cream, pawpaw, fatty cream, rosehip, coconut, even steroid cream.
2 days ago I got some Aloe protective restoring mask and used it on my face not even targeting the crack or eczema and overnight IT'S GONE!!! IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!!!
The whole aloe range from The Body Shop is incredible but this, this is life changing.

I have dry & sensitive skin as well. I've found that the Antipodes range works amazingly for me. I currently use their Divine Face Oil (avocado & rosehip), day cream, and night cream. The Aura Manuka honey mask works very well as a hydrating mask too! I sound like an Antipodes fanatic--can't help it! They just work. I'm quite amazed since my skin is so hard to please. I'm about to try out other products like the cleansers soon. x
Ok hear me out here. I recently purchased new pillows and was horribly allergic to them so my entire face was covered with ezcma and hives, and over time while they faded I was left with dry dry skin, and dead pieces of skin on top. I tried oils, and every single moisturiser I had in my house, including my mothers and sisters and nothing worked, until I reached for the vaseline moisturiser. I was a bit vary of putting it on my face because it is a body lotion, but I cannot believe the results, honestly, over night it managed to get rid of the dry skin that I had been trying to get rid of for two weeks!!
So I'd completely forgotten about this until this morning when I noticed that the right side of my mouth stings when I open it... hello angular cheilitis. I raced down to the supermarket after I finished work so I could grab some Vitamin B supplements... probably a bit too late but hopefully if I get on top of it now it won't happen again soon!
Would you believe that the day after commenting on this thread I noticed a small split on the corner of my mouth.. something I have never ever had before! And then the next day mum made nachos for dinner! Haha totally coincided with me running out of my B vitamins a week ago and not replacing them so I'm sure you are getting on the right track :)
ash_bandicoot angular cheilitis is horrible :( I struggled with it a couple of years ago on both sides of my mouth and it recurred for a few months! It was so bad I remember the corners bleeding when I would try to eat :( ugh that brings back some horrible memories ha. At the time I was sitting a whole lot of exams so was super stressed plus after a blood test I was iron deficient so was given really strong iron tablets and vitamin C from my doctor which helped clear it up pretty quickly. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Since then I always watch my iron intake (I'm a vegetarian so it's even more important) and always consider extra B vitamins at times of stress. Almond milk is also good for B vitamins, mosty B12. I'll keep that aloe protective restoring mask in mind, it sounds great for all kinds of skin dryness :)
