6 Sensitive Skin Favorites

July 17, 2014

I am not usually one for talking beauty products, because frankly, I know enough to get by and take care of myself, BUT I am in no way an expert. I decided to write this post to help out other sensitive skin sufferers out there. It has taken me many, many years to find products that work for me (lots of trial and error). I am allergic to most soaps, detergents, fragrances, etc. Here are six products that I use on a regular (if not DAILY) basis. Most of these products are either fragrance free or have a light scent. My number one suggestion with skin care products is — DO NOT BE CHEAP! Your face is the first thing people see and you only have one, so take care of it!

  1. Aveda All-Sensitive Facial Cleanser & Moisturizer (My go-to product for the last 6+ years. The only thing that has worked for my skin! Used daily since first purchased.)

  2. Dr. Jart Water Fuse Beauty Balm (BB) Cream, SPF 25 (For make-up days! Just enough coverage and not harsh or oil-ie on the skin.)

  3. Bio Oil (Mixed with facial moisturizer and body lotion at night. Softens skin!)

  4. Andalou Naturals Un-Tinted Beauty Balm (BB), SPF 30 (My favorite SPF/facial product for non-make-up day — which, admittedly, is most days! Citrus scent in a nice bright smell and doesn’t over power.)

  5. Burt’s Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm (Light, soft scent and great moisturizing. I use this every day.)

  6. Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo & Conditioner (Light and doesn’t irritate my sensitive scalp and skin. Great for thin/fine hair. Another product with a light, non-overpowering scent.)

For some reason, lately when I’ve been thrifting, there hasn’t been really anything good. It has been a push to find items that are “worth it.” This happens from time to time, and I guess you can say it’s the cycle of things when it comes to thrifting.

I came across this lovely 1970’s neon quilted skirt during one of my most recent thrifting trips at one of my regular stores. I was tempted to keep this gem for myself, because it is all too often hard to find one-of-a-kind fabulous pieces. This skirt was definitely a bright spot in a current “lull” of thrifting. I am excited for the thrifting I get to do in some new places on my road trip to Utah in the near future!
