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.

My skin is ridiculously sensitive. I use a hand-made soap that I get at the natural foods store. For liquid, I'd try a plain glycerine liquid soap, also available at natural foods places. Dove isn't sensitive enough for me, is how sensitive my skin is, but Ivory does okay in a pinch. The hand-made soap is pricey as well, but the plain glycerine liquid isn't too bad, I don't think.

I've never been a huge fan of glycerine soap, but I suppose I've never found a plain liquid one. I shall have to try it out!
