I’ve been having a lot of trouble getting my skin under control. It’s frequently broken out, red, blotchy, flaky, and dry. I feel like these problems should be long gone (I’m 19 now) but I’m still dealing. Currently I use a normal salicylic acid face wash and Korres brand cinnamon and natural clay mask as a spot treatment at night. I like using natural products more because my skin is so sensitive and always dry, so I don’t anything that could possibly dry it more. I’ve been doing a bit of research and I’ve read that the tea tree oil product line from the Body Shop comes highly recommended as well as Lush facial products. I want something natural and not too pricey. I just want to get my skin under control again.
Also, other than having found the right skincare products, I do everything I can for my skin. I drink tons of water and fruit juices, I eat mostly organic products free of corn syrup and excess sugar, I don’t drink soda, really, I don’t eat any kind of junk food. Lots of fruits and veggies.
I just need to find the right products. Any suggestions or advice would be great from anyone. I’d really appreciate your help!

I like Burt Bee’s.
STOP eating and drinking foods with refined or artificial sugars, like high fructose corn syrup, crystalline fructose or aspartame/phenylalanine. Up your vitamin C, K & A. Do some exercise like dancing or yoga. Get a little sun everyday, no more than 10 minutes if you have a light complexion. Drink more water. Try using witchazel as a toner during the day, and apple cider vinegar at night.
Many beauty products on the market have harmful chemicals in them; do your favorite beauty products contain any of these things?:
* Mineral Oil, Paraffin & Petrolatum – Petroleum products coat the skin like plastic, clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins, which in turn accumulate and can lead to dermatological issues, like slowing cellular development, which can cause you to show earlier signs of aging. Suspected cause of cancer & Disruptive of hormonal activity.
* Parabens – Widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic industry (including moisturizers). An estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products contain parabens. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities – mimicking estrogen – and interfere with the body’s endocrine system.
* Phenol carbolic acid– Found in many lotions and skin creams. Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma and even death from respiratory failure.
* Propylene glycol – Used as a moisturizer in cosmetics and as a carrier in fragrance oils. Shown to cause dermatitis, kidney or liver abnormalities, may inhibit skin cell growth, and is a skin irritant and sensitizer.
* Acrylamide– Found in many hand and face creams. Linked to mammary tumors in lab research.
* Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES)– Found in car washes, engine degreasers, garage floor cleaners… and in over 90% of personal care products! SLS breaks down the skin’s moisture barrier, easily penetrates the skin, and allows other chemicals to easily penetrate. Combined with other chemicals, SLS becomes a “nitrosamine”, a potent class of carcinogen. It can also cause hair loss. SLES is sometimes disguised with the labeling “comes from coconut” or “coconut-derived” – and is found in many popular body washes and toothpastes!
* Toluene – Poison! Danger! Harmful or fatal if swallowed! Harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Made from petroleum or coal tar, and found in most synthetic fragrances. Chronic exposure linked to anemia, lowered blood cell count, liver or kidney damage, and may affect a developing fetus. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) contains toluene. Other names may include benzoic and benzyl.
* Dioxane– Found in compounds known as PEG, Polysorbates, Laureth, ethoxylated alcohols. Common in a wide range of personal care products. The compounds are usually contaminated with high concentrations of highly volatile 1,4-dioxane, easily absorbed through the skin. Dioxane’s carcinogenicity was first reported in 1965 and later confirmed in studies including one from the National Cancer Institute in 1978. Nasal passages and liver are the most vulnerable. Dioxane is easily removed during the manufacturing process by “vacuum stripping”.
Warning: It is a synthetic derivative of coconut. Watch for hidden language on labels, such as “comes from coconut”.
IF SO, you should throw them away IMMEDIATELY and Tell ALL your friends and family!!!
maybe a simple steroid anti-inflammatory cream can control your problem or have a biopsy,skin and blood test done to determine the cause . Who to tell it could be allergy
i read that you can exfoliate your face with the mixture of white granulated sugar with water for extra dry skin. splash your face with apple cider it is suppose to restore ph balance. also once a week message face with honey, lemon juiceand oatmeal. i use to once a month use eggs and milk to clean my face and it worked. of course every ones skin is different so good luck on finding something that will work. an honey by itself seems to work all over the body to keep it moisterized.
