Spot Control for Sensitive Skin

Nobody likes getting spots! But in some cases they just won't go away, this could be down to hormones, unclean skin, oily skin and sometimes even stress.

I suffered from a bad case of spots a while ago and it had been down to stress and tension. I was finishing my Highers in my last year at school and began stressing about my exams, so much so that my skin began to break out in bumpy spots that wouldn't come to a head and wouldn't go away. It made me so embarrassed and self conscious. I didn't have a clue how to get them away. I decided to try a product aimed at spots caused by stress, it  was called Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control Hydrating Spot Treatment by "Neutrogena". However after 2 weeks I still wasn't seeing any improvement and my skin did not feel hydrated in fact it began to get flaky and very dried out. I realised this was not a great product for my skin and knew I had to find something moisturising as well as to get rid of my spots.

My mum and I have similar skin, it's quite sensitive and needs a lot of moisturising. My mum told me about "Simple" which is a variety of products developed to improve and care for people with sensitive skin. I had a look and found the perfect products to improve and maintain my skin. I am currently still using these products and intend to continue as my skin has been a lot better since. These products are Simple Spotless Skin Anti-blemish Moisturiser which shows results straight away clearing up my spots and caring for my dry skin.

I also use their Simple Skin Quick Fix Cleansing Wipes, that are great! I use these wipes as I'm cleaning my face before applying the Moisturiser. They contain spot fighting ingredients such as Zinc and Chamomile and antibacterial goodness such as phytosphingosine  to  remove make-up and impurities within the skin. They also last long as the packet seals after every use so the other wipes won't dry out!

And the best thing about all their products is that they don't contain perfume or colour, therefore won't irritate the skin!

People with sensitive skin should use make-up that is gentle on the skin and contain healing properties for people who suffer from breakouts or blemishes. I'd say the most suitable would probably be Mineral cosmetics, that produce mineral foundations and mineral powders. There are loads of brands of mineral make-up that can be considered. These products contain Zinc oxides which are considered as healing properties for sensitive skin. Mineral make-up guarantees a natural glow and healthy skin.

I hope yous found my advice useful!
