Thank you. That never crossed my mind. I have been a new witch hazel and moisterizer lately.Don't forget to include your skin care products, including your removers and toners in your assessment.
Witch Hazel is a mild toner. What type of moisturizer are you using? I suggest getting a skin consult done to really nail down what product(s) you're having difficultly with. This will save you weeks in trial and error, as it takes the skin 5-7 days to figure itself out with new products being put on it... And that's just with one product, not several, as we all layer products on in our routines.Thank you. That never crossed my mind. I have been a new witch hazel and moisterizer lately.
Well, all I can say is, how are you finding the organic versions? Any positive / negative results? If you're buying your products from a drugstore, ask the sales associate to help you with the line, if they can't, ask them when the regional or local rep will be in, that way you can get first hand face-to-face information from them. (All brands have reps that visit the stores at least 1-2 times a month to check on stock, numbers etc). As for skin care tips in general... The best tip I can give, is to get a skin care consultation done to determine your skins pH balance. You can get this done at most, if not all department store cosmetic counters. That way you'll have a much better understanding of what your skin care needs are, and what types of products that you can confidently choose from. Good luck.[@]vogueboy[/@] can you give me any tips on skin care products? I have been using organic skin care and there's not much info out there about it.

[@]camel11[/@] Thank you so much! I'm definitely going to look into these products. I worked late last night and used my makeup wipes (cheap ones I got from the beauty supply store) to remove my makeup. This morning I experienced some itching on my face so that is one product I will be eliminating. I now need to find a replacement for them.So I have a few allergies to skincare and makeup. I find silicones and synthetic fragrance to be the biggest culprit in my reactions. So far, I've had luck with natural/organic brands such as 100% Pure, Juice Beauty, W3LL People, Origins, Tarte, etc., but it's hard to find replacements for MAC type products. I've heard great things about Kjaer Weiss, but the transition is an expensive one. Also look into Christopher Drummond products, he has some very high quality stuff. I'd say the easiest switch, for me, was to Tarte, as it isn't fully natural/organic so you don't lose as much of the effect. For me it was ALOT of trial and error, and required shopping sites with generous return policies! For instance, I've learned the coconut oil-based RMS products were too heavy for my face, although they are well-reted (I personally didn't love the products, so it was an easy loss). As far as skincare, I know this sounds SUPER crunchy but honestly, it's the ONLY combo that has worked for me: Raw Honey (from trader joe's, the thick cloudy stuff, ~4.99), Acure Organics Resurfacing Restorative Lotion (not sure of the exact name), and Acure Organic's Argan Oil. Raw honey has antibacterial properties that has really cleared up the mess that is my skin. Argan Oil is magic, and I really like the price and effectiveness of Acure's product line. I will say the first step would be to avoid products with added synthetic fragrance and heavy silicones.... Then go from there! Good luck! I know how frustrating this all is, but it's nice in the end once you've found a routine that works!
I had been using witch hazel on my face each night and every morning. I stopped using it after my break out. Around my eye area felt so sore and looked raw. My eye lids and the rest of my face was itchy and it burned and tingle. It's healing now and I'm experiencing some flakiness around my eye area.I kept buying Acne-fighting primers and foundations and wondering why they didn't work- turns out I'm majorly allergic to witch hazel. Geez, my face was soooo sore. Also one of my ELF eyeliners (pencil one) made my eye go so wonky and watery, I couldn't see for half a day. Missed school. D: It sucked because DANG that colour was gorgeous, and I didn't even put it on my waterline! Also, Vichy eye cream... burns in the worst way.
Yes it is. The issue now is I had another breakout/flare up on yesterday and have been itching and taking Benadryl all night. I used all of my old products like MOM, BH cosmetics foundation and my Fix+. I also used my normal face wash and coconut oil. I have an appt to see a dermatologist on Tuesday but the patches itche so bad. I've bee. Medicine test samples on my inner arm and haven't gotten a reaction yet. I'm going to take a break from makeup for a while.Is the pore eraser that baby skin stuff? If so, I had the same issue with it. Breaking me out like crazy, sides of my face are red and bumpy now, I'm done with it. It's not the silicone since I don't have issues with that usually, but somethng in there isn't agreeing with my skin.
