While I like to think that I don't have sensitive skin, I am now starting to accept that I actually have one. (Being delusional that I have a normal skin isn't working now. Haha) It is is not however to a point that it is hypersensitive to everything. Hallelujah for that. When I started having severe breakouts at the start of the summer, I went into a panic mode. I tried almost anti-blemish skincare there is and left no stone unturned. In my search for products to keep blemishes at bay and keep my skin happy, I found out that soothing skincare are more effective than their anti-blemish counterparts. If you have sensitive skin, you can relate how a sensitive skin can easily get angry so finding the right balance is a big must. Today, I will be sharing with you the skincare items that are effective and suitable for gals with sensitive skin.
La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser- The Toleriane Range of La Roche Posay is made for people who have sensitive and allergic prone skin. I am quiet interested in exploring the range as anything that promises to calm my skin always get my attention nowadays. This cleanser is incredibly so gentle on the skin. There are cleansers that I used that stings on the skin but you can't feel any of that with the Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser. It also removes make-up very well. Since I started using this, my skin has been a lot calmer. The cleanser appears milky and leaves the skin really smooth without any residue. I use it as a facial wash and it does clean my skin really well without stripping the moisture away from my face.
La Roche Posay Toleriane Ultra Fluid- Another product from the Toleriane range that I totally adore is the Ultra Fluid. This is a moisturising fluid that is very light in consistency. This contains no parabens, alcohol, colourants, and lanolin. Aside from having no nasties in its ingredients, it is also non-perfumed and with 0% preservatives. When applied, it feels really cool and soothing on the skin. It feels like your skin is being caress by the gentlest product there is. It is great as a morning moisturiser as it sinks in very well and very light in consistency.
The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Gel- This is like a heaven sent product to my skin. I call it my little miracle worker. I like to use the Aloe Soothing Gel all over my face twice a day. It sinks in very easily works very well with my Toleriane Ultra Fluid. What I also do is that when I find a part of my skin that is quiet irritated or red, I just put it in that area and it just calms the skin instantly. I have always one with me just incase my skin acts up whilst I'm out and about and a few bottles lying around the house. I hoard on good products and The Body Shop emailing me constant discount codes doesn't help.
Jurlique Calendula Redness Rescue Calming Mist- Since I discovered this calming mist more than a year ago, I have finished two bottles already and now on my third one. This is alcohol-free so it is very gentle on the skin. It calms the skin really well and my toner of choice when my skin is quiet angry and irritated. The Calendula helps in reducing redness and soothes the skin. This is like the best toner for sensitive skin.
So these are my top five products recommendations that are essentials especially when you have sensitive skin.
XoXo,

You've made such a good point Ella - I've also found when I'm breaking out that anti-blemish products don't work half as well as walking towards products more suited to sensitive skin! I hope your summer breakouts are now a thing of the past and thanks for sharing these sensitive-skin products :)

DeleteI really want to try la roche posay products, I swear by body shop usually as when my skin is having a breakout I tend to use lots of masks and harsh products instead of actually using sensitive products which I should xxx
ReplyDeleteThe Toleriane range is really good from La Roche Posay Jess! Xx
