  • Have you tried any neem products yet? There aren't any chemicals that I know of in products from http://www.neemgenie.co.uk/ They gentle and usually suitable for people with facial skin conditions, eczema, baby eczema and psoriasis.

    No make up, but theres cleansers, moisturisers etc.

    My dermatologist warned me to avoid using Simple and baby products when I saw her about my eczema. She said they are very harsh and drying, aggravating sensitive skin. She stressed the importance of avoiding washes and soaps that actually contain soap. She recommended washing with Dove soap for sensitive skin or using e45 wash. I use Liz Earle on my face (although my eczema isn't that bad there).
  • I have had problems with sensitive skin all my life till I tried Liz Earle 'Cleanse & Polish' It is lovely! Was reccommended in 'The Beauty Bible' and apparently out of all the people trialing it, not one had an adverse reaction.
  • Lots of fantatic advice im going to print off iw work and go through it all properley. Thanks a million

    My OH has sensitive Skin, and the only products that work for any length of time are Guerlain, luckily her mate works on the Guerlain counter so gets a discount, still ruddy expensive though.

    You could try the Simple range and if you email them they'll probably send you some samples so you can try it first.

    .

    You ever taken a look as what is in the Simple range? Heres the link - I wouldnt put this anywhere near my face:eek:http://www.simpleskincare.com.au/simpleskincare/SimpleIngredients.aspx

    be careful with bodyshop products if you have sensitive skin. I used their carrot face cream a few years ago and it was so harsh I ended up with a red rash on my face.

    I would recommend neals yard remedies for sensitive skin as their products are all natural.
    Not buying clothes for a year - it's liberating!

    Just noticed you said you can use Shiseido - Superdrug have an offer on at the moment, so if this is the one you use, I'd stock up now!

  • Coconut oil or Jojoba oil - as cleanser as well as to moisturize. To moisturize just put tiny amount onto damp skin. Jojoba oil won't make your face shiny (it's actually a wax, not an oil: a misnomer) so I'd recommend Jojoba in the morning and coconut oil in the evening. No chemicals, no parabens, no manmade stuff at all... nothing to react to!

  • I have a friend with sensitive skin who swears by lidl's products. Might be worth a try?
