If you thought I was sensitive,

you should I meet my skin

god damn is it annoying when the store runs out of the only shampoo and body wash i can use, so i’m forced to use a different one that immediately makes my skin red and itchy and rash and fucking pain. the fact that there are still so few options for people with severely sensitive skin drives me bananas. 

my whole body hurts right now i am suffering and by body i mean the entirety of my skin 

on top of the fact anything that’s actually good for sensitive skin and doesn’t have added secret chemicals is fucking stupid expensive

New Skincare routine

I feel as though my old routine just doesnt work anymore. Its been 2 weeks of acne hell so i thought id change things up a bit.

I bought a few new things to help with my acne, dark spots, and uneven texture. Also my skin barrier is terrible . My skin peels off so easily when I GENTLY pop a zit . So I’m trying to get that fixed. I’m also tryin to lessen my cigarette intake. I went from 10 cigs a day to 5 and hopefully I’ll quit all together when my life gets more stable. Also if anyone wants to recommend products to super strengthen my skin barrier that’d be great!

Sensitive Skin Warning!

Be careful not to use more than one product containing phenoxyethanol in a 6-12 hour time frame!

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative, an anti-bacterial, and a stabilizer found in many products. Its a great alternative to parabens.

Products containing 1% or less are deemed totally safe by nearly all countries, however when using multiple products, each containing 1%, it adds up leading to over exposure of phenoxyethanol. So be cautious not to layer too many products with this ingredient at one time on skin. Over exposure can cause hives, rash, anaphylaxis, and dermatitis on adults, as well as animals and infants { causes nervous system damage in infants ages 3 and younger}.

Here’s a quote:

◇"Most of the concern stems from recorded incidents of bad skin reactions (on adults) and nervous system interaction in infants.“- Healthline

Phenoxyethanol Free Products:

◇ Caudalie VineActive Vitamin C Anti-Wrinkle Serum

◇Belif True Cream Moisturizing Bomb

◇Olehenriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme

◇Herbivore Prism 12% AHA 3% BHA Exfoliating Glow Serum

◇Josie Maran Argan Beta Retinol Pink Algae Serum

My opinion: its totally safe to use ONE product for adults containing phenoxyethanol every 6 hours. That way you wont get over exposure. If you like using more than one product on your face at a time try products that are free of this chemical to avoid harsh side effects. I feel using one or two products with phenoxyethanol wont kill you or even bother your skin ( in my experience) unless you are allergic.

Im totally investing in those products above to avoid over exposure. Lately my skins been very sensitive and red so i want to avoid any and all causes!

Tinted moisturizers for subtle skin perfection

Tinted moisturizer is the beauty product everybody needs in their bag. It’s the ultimate lazy girl (or guy!) beauty hack, combining makeup and skincare to help you feel radiant, even on the days you were just not in the mood to apply a full-coverage foundation. Designed to hydrate and nourish your skin while providing lightweight coverage, tinted moisturizers are ideal for those with sensitive skin who don’t like the “heavy” feeling of foundation or powder on their face, or people who love to own the “no makeup” makeup look.
