A question to my sensitive-skinned sisters out there: what product(s) do you use? Every since Oil of Olay randomly discontinued their sensitive-skin soaps, I've been trying to find a good alternative.

"Use Dove," is generally the advice I receive. However, despite their Real Beauty campaign, they (Unilever) also sell skin bleaching creams overseas. That's just not something I'm willing to support, even by proxy, so Dove is out. Avene makes a non-soap cold cream bar that I really like, but it's a little pricey, and bar soap just isn't ideal for the showers at the gym.

Anyone have any suggestions, store bought, homemade, or otherwise?


In other news: I have a passport and a plane ticket! I now have the legal ability and practical means to leave the country. Also, perhaps more importantly, to reenter it.

I shall have to give it a try, then. I just have a knee-jerk suspicion of St. Ives.

When I'm at home, I really like Avene's cold cream bar, for face and body. It's on the pricey side, but it does last for quite a while, as long as you don't leave it sitting in water. Because it's soap-free it doesn't actually lather, but it cleans quite nicely. I keep trying new things (as witnessed by this post), but I keep going back to it, especially when my skin gets worked up into an itch.

I think the oatmeal and shea butter stuff is one of the ones they sell in sample size. So if you can find that, might be worth trying it that way to save money if it turns out not to work for you.
