Beauty Tips For Body Care
A bit about me and my skin: I’m 34F, dealing with dry, acne prone and sensitive skin.I’m still on the hunt for my perfect routine and cleansing products are a bit of a problem area for me. However, I have discovered that my skin reacts well to double cleansing in the PM, with a balm or oil followed by a gentle cream cleanser.I have been trying to eliminate essential oils from my routine, so recently I switched my balm cleanser (Evolve gentle cleansing melt) to the Oat Cleansing Balm from the Inkey list.All I ever read were rave reviews and how great it is for sensitive skin etc. I was really excited about it since it seemed to check all the boxes.HOWEVER, when I tried it I immediately felt how the concistensy felt thick and gloopy and worst of all, SCRATCHY!! The ”colloidal” oatmeal in this product is like a dry oat FLOUR and it works more like a physical exfoliator than a cleansing balm.There is not alot of slip to this product so the only way to work it across the skin is to rub. No matter how lightly and gentle I tried to do it, using only my fingertips, warming it up in my hands before putting it on my face etc, it still managed to over exfoliate my skin and wreck my moisture barrier in only about 5 nights 😩So if your skin is sensitive like mine, and especially if you can’t tolerate physical scrubs/exfoliation, this product is NOT for you!It has now been banned to my shower as a body scrub/wash lotion. 1/10 WNRP!
