I have sensitive skin and have just recently realized that it is the cause for my acne (IK I’m dumb). So I’ve been using the Body Shop’s aloe vera line. I was wondering what are your thoughts on this line?

In reply to Anastasia. Anastasia, lactic acid is the best choice for sensitive skin. It's the mildest of the acids so, often sensitive skin is able to tolerate it. Just limit its use to once or twice a week. if even this is too much, try a washcloth.

Hi there, thank you for this article! I have quite sensitive skin, and it seems to get more sensitive over years – now I’m 38 and I can’t believe that my skin used to tolerate very harsh products when I was younger; now I have to be super careful as to what I put on my face. However, it is really a blessing in disguise, as I had to learn a lot about proper skin care and which ingredients I should avoid. Also my skin looks much younger – usually people think I am around 5-7 years younger and even people who work in beauty industry (facialists and massage therapists) are surprised when they find out my age. My facialists says that, because my skin is really thin, it reacts better to treatment.

I’ve got one question to you about sensitive skin. How should I exfoliate? I’m afraid to even try retinoids and acids; are there safe choices for me? I’ve tried some enzyme peelings, and though they do not irritate my skin, I really see no difference and am not sure they are doing anything. Thank you in advance!

In reply to audrey. You give me hope, Audrey. It's just the transition period than I dread. I'm a freelancer and it's not professional to meet your clients with a head full of dirty and oily hair. The messy bun is a good idea, though.

In reply to Gio. Yes, mine too! It was so oily I have to wash it 2x a day (but I only wash it 1x/day due to laziness). When I traioned my hair I put it in a messy bun all the time (for at least 6-7 days before washing it) so I don't have to see the amount of oil at first. I also didn't use any dry shampoo to really fill every inch of my scalp with natural oil. Now I can go 3-4 days before my hair gets a bit oily (without dry shampoo) and I can definitely go a week with dry shampoo.

In reply to audrey. Glad it's working well for you. I should try it too but my hair is very oil so it'd get a LOT worse before it gets even a tiny little bit better...
