I love 2 products for my face from Origins.
My skin was always very sensitive. If I have an itch, and I lightly scratch it, it looks like I clawed my face! I never could use any lotions with benzoyl peroxide because it would actually burn my skin. This is what I use now:
I always use Dove cleansing cloths at night. That removes the makeup and dirt from the day. I follow with a non-comedogenic lotion. I found that when I don't hydrate my face, I have more oil laying on my "T-Zone" in the morning than usual. In the morning, I use proactiv CLEANSER ONLY. It has the refiners in it to help exfoliate and remove the dead skin. (I found that when I use the proactiv lotion, it creates MORE oil.) I also drink a ton of water. With BFing, I need to stay hydrated, so I drink at least half my body weight in ounces. Anyway, I follow my morning cleansing with the same lotion from the night before.
As long as I don't deviate from my routine, I have very little problem with my skin. If I don't wash my face before bed, it equals an immediate zit! The way my skin is now, I have two or three very small bumps, but they never materialize into anything, just go away on their own. Also, let it be known, that I wear foundation every day - the full coverage kind - because if scarring and uneven coloring from bad pimples in the past. This is the best my skin has ever looked, and I am thrilled!
HTH, I know what a struggle the search for products can be! I have boatloads of things I can't use, but can't seem to throw out because they were expensive!!
LOL, Shannon, I have tons of things I can't use either - but can't throw them out due to extreme guilt over wasting $$$.
Thanks everybody for your suggestions!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Where would any of us be without these boards and our sharing of experiences and information?!?
LOST. That's where!
The only moisturizer I EVER found that didn't break me out was Mary Kay Velocity. I'm not even sure they make it any more. And I shouldn't even admit that considering I'm an Avon Lady! :) It seems like my skin changes every time I have a baby, and now I'm back to square one (again) trying to figure out what's going to work on my "new" skin. So I might take some of your suggestions too if I don't find an Avon product to work on me!
