I have really sensitive skin so I have to be careful when choosing face washes and moisturizers. To those who have this problem as well: What kind of brands do you use for your face?

the body shop do an aloe vera range without preservatives/frangrance/colours etc for sensitive skin. in the range there are day/night/spf15 moisturisers, face wash, exfoliator, all over body moisturiser, bath cream, cooling body gel, cleanser, toner, body lotion all sorts!

Have you used it yet? Is it good?

yes yes i have and it is good. + community traded ingredients fair trade and all that. if you go to your local body shop theyll give you free samples in tiny pots to try to see if you like it

That sounds really good... I use their vitamin E face cream and eye cream (I'd imagine its a little perfumed/coloured though, but I for some reason its fine for me.... I wouldn't want to make promises about that on anyone else).

The "Simple" range are really good for body things. Most of their stuff is completely free of perfumes and colours, designed specially for sensitive skin, and cheap enough to mean you don't have to feel angry about buying specialist products. I really like their clay face mask, shower gel, face wash and eye make up remover.

Speaking of which I can't go on about those giant E45 body lotion pump bottles enough. You can just use it anywhere (including your face) - its brilliant and not too heavy.

I am considering starting an E45 appreciation thread....

wowie! haha i sell alot of vit e stuff. its our biggest selling moisturiser... yes i work in a body shop

I use simple deoderant and shower gel, its good stuff for people with sensitive skin. As far as moisturisers go, the best ones that won't irritate your skin at all are probably the ones you can buy in pharmacies over the counter like dipro-base, cetreban and E45. None of which smell great (cause they are unscented) but they won't irritate even the most sensitive skin.

Same here. I often get hives when I'm using a certain kind of moisterizers. Just don't ever use Mary Kay products (heheh, thanks mum) when having sensitive skin. I've used a Saint Ives Apracot scrub when my face gets oily and it doesn't hurt my skin since it's pretty lightweight. And I don't wear make up much either, but I've read that using power make up instead of the liquid counterparts are better for people with sensitive skin. Here's where I got this from:

Cosmetics for Sensitive Skin

Anyways, good luck.

Just so you know, I also have quite sensitive skin and use that scrub about once a week - never had a problem.
But then a friend of mine with sensitive skin used it and got a rash. I don't know if she used it to frequently or pressed too hard rubbing it on, but it might not be sensitive enough for some people.

Plus I think it still contains perfume and colourings, even if they're not that strong.

People, DON'T USE ST.IVES APRICOT SCRUB. Thanks. It will ruin your skin.

Use a really mild soap, then use an alcohol free toner like Thayer's, and put on a sensitive skin light moisturizer.

i use MAC and i have a bad reaction to pretty much everything.
