should l impose my 11 year old daughter to use home made cleanser for her sensitive skin?

[susan1984r]

she hates to use it, describing it as lumpy. it is great for eczema or dry skin, made of blended lemon skin, oats. is very kind and gentle to skin compared to bubbling soaps esp those with artificial fragrances, colours, etc. she was like sobbing with crocodile tears afterwards, should l just let her use the bubbling soaps?

Jesus! I have eczema. For the love of good just use something like the Simple range. Don't put anything with lemon on her poor skin. Seriously hoping this isn't real.

I predict that OP won’t be back...

WTF? Yabu.

Lemon is not gentle on skin.

Let her choose her own products and help her choose more naurural ones if you like but give her a break!

Also she only needs that when wearing make up. Which at 11 I would assume that she doesn't. A flannel and warm water is sufficient otherwise, no soap, just warm water.

Lemon on your face near your eyes?! FFS. That's cruel. Child's Farm products really good.

Even simple can he quote harsh tbh think.it contains SLS.

Eczema such a bloody pain with kids, u want to give them the freedom other kids have , like face washes and bubble.bath and fancy shower gel but u can't. While everyones enjoying bath.bombs you r stuck there with oats...

U spend alot of time being the bad guy whilst they seem to forget the antibiotics they got stuck on.last time...

Yabu for thinking it's a good idea to put LEMON on sensitive skin - and then acting like you're some kind of skincare guru. Let her use whatever she wants, and stop concocting rubbish when you can go to boots and buy something less crap.

I don’t know what bubbling soap is, but no one should be using soap on their face. Try the Superdrug Vit E cleansing balm and a flannel.

No! You shouldn’t put home made crap on your face, definitely not lemon!!

I don’t know why op but the word impose gave me the shudders, it’s almost like it belongs in a dictatorship rather than home. That aside, is there nothing her gp can prescribe? If you haven’t already I’d be seeking their advice, my lovely friend’s dd has really bad eczema causing her horrific discomfort with the wounds getting infected and her gp prescribed a combination of topical medication which has proved extremely effective.

OP’s first language is clearly not English, that will be the reason for “impose” and the slightly odd “bubbling soap” expression.

Get her a proper oil or balm cleanser. I have eczema, don't fuck around with home made stuff or you'll make it worse.

Inkey list do an oat balm one which is cheap and doesn't irritate me at all

Lemon peel on sensitive skin?
FFS - no wonder she hates it.
Go to boots/superdrug/whatever, together (or look online together, better as you can see reviews), help her choose a cleanser for sensitive skin.
As in she chooses, you just need to veto any unicorn coloured superbubble crap.

Mn always recommends oats in the bath.

I’ve heard it recommended for chicken pox to help sooth the itching. I’ve also used it myself for itchy insect bites. As a former eczema sufferer, I can’t think of anything worse than lemon and oatmeal to put on the skin. It is the polar opposite of kind and gentle. It might be helpful for really oily skin but eczema prone skin is dry. Washing her face with warm water is all that is needed.

This is such an obvious Wind them up and watch them go

Or put another way: stop being a twat!

Lemon??????

Jesus Christ.

Let the kid use what she wants.

Cerave, and then leave her alone ffs.

OP, my dog cries when I kick him in the face. He prefers cuddles from my DP.

Should I let DP cuddle him?

Impose?

Yabu and borderline abusive.

What am I reading? 👀

I have severe eczema and use Avene gentle cleanser. It’s one of the best I’ve found. It’s not too expensive from Boots (c£10 and often on 3 for 2) and it looks and smells nice.

Well first off you have no idea what you’re doing because lemon peel and the oils in are horrific for skin.

Stop being a dick and buy your child decent cleanser for sensitive skin.

AWA' AN' BILE YER HEID!
