Hi Everyone,

Would really appreciate anyone's input in what cleansers they use - I am struggling!  I am borderline O/D which may be my problem, I'm currently using Dove Essential Nutrients Non-Foaming Cleanser.  I feel that it isn't 'cleaning' enough, but am sticking it out to rebuild my skin barrier.  I do get ezcema under my eyes, and before I read Dr. B's book my face was tight, itchy, red, and blemished.  I think the Dove cleanser has helped but now it feels bumpy if I run my hand across it, as if it hasn't been cleaned properly in awhile. Could this be because I am so close to being Oily? (I have been oily my whole life until I moved to a dry and cold climate, and use town water instead of rain water).

Am I just being paranoid??? (Probably!! ) I have little break outs now which I never used to have, so have been putting Paula's 1% BHA lotion over my face. 

My routine is fairly simple, cleanse with Dove, spray with Avene thermal water, apply BHA, then Olay Total Effects mosituriser.  Perhaps I need a 'stronger' cleanser, or just stick at trying to calm my face??

Sorry for the rant, its just that my skin feels yuck and upset again and would really appreciate any help!
