Hi ladies,
My skin is super wierd, it's very sensitive, dry but I tend to break out on my back and chest. What do you recommend for a bodywash and lotion? I'm so frustrated!

Avoid the Oil Of Olay bodywashes...too heavily perfumed. (I had an allergic reaction.)
Cetaphil, and for skin lotion- St. Ives.
I'm currently using a brand of shower gel called "NOLA parfume" (from the Ronnie Shugar Decorative Arts collection.) I got it at the Dollar Store- it's awesome. In other words not all bodywashes are created equal- try a few and see how your skin reacts.
Thank you, I'll grab some Cetaphil and St. Ives tomorrow and try them out!





Side note- due to amusing hereditary reasons, I found out I am better off using "sensitive skin" formulations for skincare products. If you have "mixed zone skin" (like many people) it's better to spend a little more on sensitive skin products than to walk around feeling uncomfortable all the time. I try odd things here and there (like Dollar Store scores) but in general I pick Sensitive Skin items.
Yes, I only tend to get "sensitive skin" skin care but lately it's not cutting it anymore :/ Either I'm breaking out or my skin is super dry. So frustrating!





Target up and up Aveeno copy is good and does not have Aveeno smell.

just use coconut oil or cocoa butter to moisturise
I loved how moisturizing this body wash was, especially for the price: http://www.amazon.com/Olay-Defying-M...=1418785123971
...but, as someone else mentioned, the fragrance is pretty intense. It doesn't linger much post-shower, but it's that 'old lady perfume' smell that makes you scratch your head wondering what Olay was thinking.




Dove bar soap. Greatest stuff ever. Glowing reviews all around.
Cerave lotion/cream.
I used to swear by Dove Bar Sensitive Skin, it made my skin so nice and soft... but every once in a while it would dry my skin out for some reason. I have since switched to Kirk's Original Coco Castile Bar Soap, its cheap and has been amazing for my skin. I don't have dry skin or breakouts on my back anymore, its made with coconut oil so its super nice. I moisturize with coconut oil when i'm done. Between the coconut oil and the coconut oil soap i'm glowing. For $3 bucks Kirk's is worth picking up.





How bout Shea Moisture prods? Sold @ Target, Ulta, CVS, Walgreens..or go to sheamoisture.com..I believe they have a black soap or wash that may be good, I'm sure I've heard it mentioned on here.
I used their hair prods only.

I can only use dove moisturizing body wash. I get sensitive down there with other products. I don't know why because I use to be able to use anything. For moisturizers I use 3, shea cocoa butter one, body shops shea body butter and the one at target ( I forget the name but it's similar to the body shop one and like 10 cheaper. oh and Keils crem de corps.
