Hello. My skin needs an SOS. I'm in my early 40's and over the last month or so my skin has become spotty, itchy and sensitive. My hair has also become very dry. The only new product I tried was a biore sun cream, I used it for a week and the alcohol in it sadly caused a reaction so I gave it to my husband! Kind, I know.

Maybe I'm peri menopausal or this is just what happens as you age?? Can anyone please offer any advice? I currently use Body Shop Camomile cleaning balm, which I've used for a year or so with no issue. Plus a Holland & Barrett moisturiser from their Naturals range.
Any product recommendations gratefully received! I can feel my self confidence slipping.. thanks!

I’m early 40s and my hair has become very dry and curly. After washing, I rub a couple of drops of Argan oil onto damp hair and that has made a difference. I use barbary fig oil under eyes and Argan oil on rest of face under moisturizer. I find his very soothing and hydrating.

Once or twice a week, nip and fab glycolic pads.

If you want to use oils, use cosmetic grade and not cooking Argan oil. I bought both oils from a reputable pharmacy in Morocco but you can find online.

Fish oils and regular hydrating face masks. Lots of water too!
