What kind of bad skin do you have? X

Flossie, there's quite a few threads about this. A lot of us girls suffer and we've all been trying different lotions and potions out.

I have eczema and oily combination skin but really sensitive, suffer with spots, the lot.. I use No7 and cleanse tone moisturise twice a day and use a microdermabration cream twice a week. My face is pretty good at the moment but the rest of my skin is horrible, the sun has dried my eczema out loads and where I'm sunburnt it stands out even more. I have a cream from my doctor which I use to wash with and as a body lotion but my GP also said it will get worse before it gets better! Grrr

I never use anything with perfume in, I always find if I do I'll end up with a rash or spots and apparently a dairy free diet works wonders but a few of us tried it and lasted about 2 days lol!!

I'm the same as melody the eczema has started creeping on my face due to stress I use a cream from the pharmacy which is amazing and I use ester laude makeup which his a multitude of sins lol

Mine is mega sensitive.....if I touch something then touch my face i end up with big blotches.....I only use unperfumed, hypoallergenic stuff on my face, it seems to clear up for a wee while then its back to being spotty again. GRRR!!!!
It seems to be unfortunately the only thing i have left from my teenage years :-(

I have a massive spot between my eyebrows atm :-( I always get spots in stupid places. :-(

I hadn't had any trouble with my skin since i was about 8 - used to get eczema. Suddenly it has come back - all over my forehead and spreading down my cheek! grr. not happy. picked up some eczema cream from the chemist - it hasn't touched it. phoned the doctor - i can have an appointment on friday! so i have to spend all week with a crispy, patchy dry face :(

MagicFairies - top tip for excemea - Aveeno. I used it on my son and it cleared him up a treat. And now my daughters boyfriend is using it and says it is excellent. Got wheatgerm in it and very moisturising. x

I'm also a big clinique fan and think their skin care range is fab. My h2b has really sensitive skin and it has helped him no end to stop his shaving rashes etc that he gets.

Have you tried the bare minerals make up? I think it's fab, it's not heavy or dry on the face and is kind to sensitive skin, the foundation can also be used as a concealer and hides blemishes and red patches it's really good x

Hello love, it's great eh? I love it xx

Debenhams..apologies! And on line or qvc, but the girl at the counters great she'll match your skin tone and give you tips, even try it to see if you like it, I got a starter pack and it's fab, got 3 lovely brushes and 5 different make ups for under £50..I highly
Recommend x

I totally agree with all of the above! Love the smokey eyes kit and that's a fab idea of 20% off days! All the eye shadows are stunning love them x

Lol I hope you like it xx

iv been having a terrible time with my skin over the last couple of months mainly on my chin area!! im talking not ur everyday spots but HUGE things that look like boils as soon as one disappears another reappears!! i also have alot of redness in my skin so without a base of foundation adn concealer i actually look disgusting!! its caused me plenty of tears recently!! iv been prescribed strong tablets but cant drink alcohol whilst on them (3 month course) iv got a wedding on friday so will start taking them after that!! at the moment i use the simple range of skincare products and once a week use the st ives apricot scrub. I have ordered clinique products tho as iv heard they are ace!! alos been using freederm gel directly onto the spots adn it does dry them up however leaves u feel scaly dry skin in its place!! grrrrr id do anything for nice skin :-( xxx

try perfectil for skin hair and nails as they are vits a minerals that are supposed to keep skin healthier from the inside out.

I got some garnier spot control other day its brill it hydrates skin and makes it smooth and shine free i have eczma and have be carefull but this stuff brill u could try it xx

I started using clinique on saturday, and by sunday my spots had gone - I thought it was some kind of miracle cream - but I've got more spots now.... boooo!

I have horrendously sensitive skin. A few weeks ago I used some sun tan lotion ...it said for face and for sensitive skin/dermatologically tested and so on......after using it and not even getting much sun....I came out in what I can only describe as dry, stinging patches which felt like lots of blisters under my skin. While out I thought I would ask at the clinique skin care desk if there was anything I could use to get rid of the patches....she gave me the usual hype about clinique, but then told me she shouldnt say this but the best product she has found....far better than anything else is Nivea Pure and Natural Handcream with Argan Oil. Yes its handcream and I was laughing that she recommended it for my face......but hell it works, in two days my skin felt better than it ever has done. Its not dear but the Argan Oil is apparently one of the best things you can use for your skin. xxx

Suzie Bear.....i get lots of spots around my jaw and neck too.....the GP thought it may be related to my hormones, he never gave me anything for it tho'.....said i'm basically stuck with it :-( x

I use cocoa butter its fantastic if I get a break out or if my skin is dry or sunburned its fantastic. I have strarted using bareminerals on a daily basis and I have to say it has made my skin a lot more even and clear. Im very very impressed.

xx

No its make up but the minerals can sooth irritated skin and can actually improve eczema(I think they might do skin care as well thinking about it but I dont have that other than the primer)

xx

I think its only for the next couple of days as well so hurry girls :-)

xxx

I had that for christmas as well and Im just having to replace the mineral veil and foundation. I have bought the primer for eyes and one for face and some radiance powder and some blusher. Im a little addicted to it :-) O i also bought rocker eye kit as well for smokey eyes its great you dont feel like your wearing make up do you?
