I can't remember but THANK YOUThanks Grin

It's lovely stuff, I've only used it once so far dabbed a bit on in the car after shopping but it didn't sting and that is a minor miracle as my skin is so sensitive!

Sooo,I got the moisturiser, cleanser and a can of spray mist as it was 3 for 2 in Boots BUT WHAT DO I DO WITH IT?Confused I have no idea, is it fancy water toner? When do I put it on, after cleansing?

Confused Confused Confused

Thanks in advanceSmile

Lack of environmental pollutants, valium?

My skin was great during my two pregnancies. I think it was the natural steroids reducing inflammation.

Quite possibly.

Update-

I have the worst skin ever, red, flaky and irritated. Bugger,I had such high hopes for avene

Not sure if it was the cream or cleanser which set me off, so will wait until things have calmed down and try the cream again to see. I have a feeling it was the cleanser rather than the cream which irritated me.

Sooo,I bought some Eucerin this morning and am keeping my fingers crossedGrin

Did you get the cleanser that you don't need water for, Valium? The non-rinse-off one? Sorry to hear you have had a reaction to something. Just keep using loads of moisturiser to comfort your skin, that's what I used to do.

Yes that's the one, the cleanser you don't rinse off. My skin is so stingy. I hates my bloody reactive skin, it's so tiresome!

Ah interesting, thought I'd have a full week of shit skin like I usually do after a flare up but used coconut as a cleanser last night to remove make up and used a warm muslin cloth, then slathered my face in it over night. This morning you'd barely know I had a reaction yesterday! Marvellous stuff.
