Hi guys!
I'm a 26 year old from Brisbane, Australia and am in desperate need of some help.
I am dry, very dehydrated, very very sensitive and i'm totally over it. I also have massively big pores which is annoying.
Have tried many things over the years, including Clinique 3 step in teenage years (ick!!), dermalogica (sent my normal skin dry), a string of glycolic products (worked for 6 months now gives me a red stingy rash if i even look at products with acids in it!) Hydrating/Antioxidant Serums which hurt my skin, you name it, i've tried it and had bad reactions, resulting in terribly dry and senstive skin.
Steiva A was used in my teens, as was erythromycin. Have been on the pill from a very young age (due to medical problems), currently Yasmin, which is the best of them all. Have also had to take GNRH Agonists twice for a period of six months each - so effectively i've been put through menopause (temporarily) twice.
I don't get flakies but i do feel tightness and irritation most of the time.
I'm also on a barrage of Medication at the moment, including Seroquel, which is dehydrating me i'm sure.
The only product i've found that helps is the Creme De La Mer, but is too heavy to use in the day (super humid here most of the time)
This week i've used the Shu cleansing oil 3 times and it feels like it's stripped my skin. I am too scared to try the EVOO because i'm certain i will get zits from it.
Have used a sample of the Freeze 24-7 Icecream anti aging moisturiser which feels lovely, and not breaking me out, but i'm still very tight.
Can anybody help me with a starting point? I've heard a few raves about the La Rochy cleanser - is that an ok starting point?
Thanks in Advance
