3 Makeup Brands Designed for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is incompatible with majority of the makeup products found in the market. It really needs something that is not harsh. Unfortunately, most cosmetics do the opposite. Couple of months ago, we took a look at three mineral makeup foundations which are safe to use because they do not contain some of the worst lab made chemicals. The only problem is that the ingredients found in them might not be suitable for the sensitive skin. In short, they are mild, yet can cause negative reactions. Most experts actually believe that cosmetics with the lowest number of ingredients are best for such a skin. In addition, they must be completely natural. But can you really find cosmetics like that anywhere? Fortunately, yes and today we will have a preview of the brands that produce them. Good news is that their cosmetics are extremely skin friendly and can be used by teenagers also.  So here we go now:

LaurEss Cosmetics

The mission of LaurEss is to provide cosmetics for sensitive skin. That is why, it specializes in using only fewer ingredients in their products and they are actually derived from the nature. Here is a sneak preview of what they offer.An interesting point to note is that LaurEss foundations give a completely natural look. So those who are fond of going for less makeup must try it out.  It is still important to note that this brand does not offer lipsticks.

Brush2Go

When researching on this brand you definitely need to spell its name as Brush2Go instead of brush two go. Otherwise, you are not going to find anything. Now this brand’s makeup products are more technologically advanced. Of course, they contain all natural ingredients, but they are utilized in such a way so that they control oil in the skin and give better coverage.  So far Brush2Go has come up with mineral foundation, blush, bronzer, lip balms of different colors and moisturizer which can also be used as primer.

Larenim Mineral

Lady Kirsten, the owner of Larenim struggled a lot with her own acne and makeup. So in a way, she is just another you and me. Her Larim cosmetics are also designed for sensitive skin and just like LaurEss they contain fewer ingredients extracted right from the earth.  Good news is that the brand also offers mascara and eyeliner and many different skin care products.

Medline Remedy Skin Repair Cream Review

Medline Remedy Skin Repair cream remained underground for many years. Its glimpse was only got by patients and healthcare workers at hospitals. We actually got it through our doctor. He recommended my dad to use it to repair his feet's dry skin. According to the tube label, Medline Remedy Skin Repair cream contains extracts from olive and that it just moisturizes and nourishes the skin. This definitely sounds like a generic mission. Every moisturizer is programmed to do the same thing, after all. Yet there is something more surprising about the Medline cream. We will know all about it here. But since, it is a review post; we will also take a look at the cons of using the cream.

Benefits:

Medline Remedy Skin Repair cream does what it says and that is, moisturizing and nourishing the skin. I myself never had extreme dry and broken skin. But as I mentioned before, my dad did. When I used the product I simply noticed the little dryness of my hands diminishing. Also the itch was totally gone. The surprising result was actually acquired my dad. His feet skin was dramatically rough with infinite number of flakes. But the use of this cream regularly every night healed it all within 3 weeks.  Consequently, we ordered the product again.
 

Now many people think that this Medline cream is made only for hands. That is rather a misconception. The truth is that since the cream is designed by keeping hospital patients in mind, it does not affect sensitive skin and thus, can be used on any body parts including face, hands and chest.

Problems:

The smell of this repair cream is not the best. I actually thought it was a bit too strong to bear. Next, this cream is not available in general drug stores. We basically have to either ask for it from our primary physician or buy online. Before, I had a complaint about the cream’s price. It used to be $80. Thanks to fans' growing demand, now it is available at below $10.

Verdict:

Medline Remedy Repair cream is one of a kind skin care product. We simply cannot compare it to other moisturizers available in the market. It can be used by all in the family during any seasons and for any skin problems. Because of this, it deserves 5 out of 5 stars. I can just go one step by saying that this is the best moisturizer ever made.

I know my skin type!!!

Ok, so this may sound really weird coz I have been blogging about beauty since more than a year and till now, I was unaware of my skin type which is one of the most basic principles of beauty - identifying your skin type. I always though my skin was dry, then I came to the conclusion that it is normal to dry and then, I thought its just crazy, gets oily when it feels like (under hot sun and I sweat a lot) or dries up in winters sometimes like really crazy. But, lately, I have been really analyzing my skin. Its very simple if you pay attention but we sometimes simply tend to ignore taking everything we know for granted. I have big pores around my nose and my nose is generally shiny so obviously I have a combination skin and everything I apply on my face makes me greasy so I could have concluded this long back!!! Anyways, better late than never :) But, even now, I can say that I do have skin which tends to be more dry. 

In all this, I have realized one thing - skin type has to be deduced almost very periodically. Our skin texture changes in every season (even on a day-to-day basis during seasonal changes or any other health conditions) and also due to the products we use. Seems pretty obvious, I know but when it comes to applying we fail. So, we are having summers now. Will our skin go drier or oilier??? You never know!!! So, keep it light in the morning and heavy at night. Ok, if you don't have a cooler or an AC (which I am completely against, it makes you lazy!!!), applying anything on skin can make you feel suffocated and hot. Oils are a big no-no in the summer time, though, I am still using my facial oils. Go for serums and hydration lotions and do suggest me some, please!!! Both face moisturizers and body lotions. I am out of both and have no idea what to go for coz every thing seems so heavy and thick. And, invest in blotting papers (do tell me where you got yours :D). 

Btw, if you are looking out for sunscreens or sunblocks, do consider Neutrogena coz they have really great sunscreens - ageshield if available in India is good otherwise the other one with spf 50 is amazing. Review would be coming in the month of May. It is costly but worth it. Do try out the sample before buying but it suits oily and combination well. Not sure about dry skin so do give it a shot!!! And, grab your sunglasses and full sleeves cotton clothes or elbow-reaching gloves and scarves and umbrellas and bottle of water whenever you step out of your house and enjoy!!!!! Btw, don't forget to analyze your skin and identify your skin type correctly.
