Daily Face Only Moisturizer for SENSITIVE Skin

Hi Moms,

I've been using the Mary Kay face moisturizer for about 5 years now and I like it but my skin doesn't seem to like it anymore. I just turned 32 and don't want to look like I'm 42 in the next year because I stopped using a moisturizer.. My skin is REALLLLLY sensitive and everything seems to make me break out.... Can anyone recommend anything that they use for SENSITIVE skin only ( JUST for faces)???

You might try Olay for Sensitive skin. I've found it to work very well. Plus it is reasonably priced.

I also have sensitive skin which, as I've grown older and now live in a hot, humid area, seems to break out in the "T" zone (oily areas). Wrinkles AND pimples!

I'm now using Aveeno Clear Complexion on the oily areas. It's oil-free and hypoallergenic. I use Olay Regenerist products on the rest of my face.

I have sensitive skin too. My dermatologist uses and recommended for me Lancome multi-vital bienfiat. It's the only one they sell with SPF 30. Pricey but I love it.

Here's a wonderful resource to let you check out individual ingredients in any cosmetic (use the search function). Even many products formulated for "sensitive" skin still have questionable and potentially hazardous ingredients. http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/

I was born with sensitive, pale (redhead) skin, and then 20 years ago, I developed chemical sensitivities on top of that. I struggled for years to find a moisturizer that I could tolerate, and finally settled on just a few drops of organic olive oil pressed into skin with warm, damp hands. At 63, my skin is in remarkably good shape and people usually are surprised to hear my actual age.

I switched to organic coconut oil- it works better than any other moisturizer I've ever used!

Oil of Olay for Sensitive Skin--you can get it with SPF or without.

Have you shared your concerns with your Mary Kay consultant? We have several great options for moisturizers...timewise, oil-free hydrating gel, classic/basic skin care, etc... Give her a call and see if a switch to a different moisturizer is all it takes. Your skin chemistry changes with the weather, time of the month, pregnancy, etc... So sometimes a small change up is a good thing.

CereVe. It does "say" sensitive, but my dermatologist recommended it because it is so mild.

Oil of Olay Daily Moisturizer for sensitive skin- I live by it! It's light and I have never had an issue with it. Everything makes me break-out with a rash- perfumes, shampoos, lotions- anything with a "scent". I have been using this (have switched from Clinique) for several years and have had no issues!
