#SavedMySkin Story: Soak My Thirsty Skin (without triggering an allergic reaction)!
Moisturizers spread well and sit on the skin for a long time, and the skin absorbs them well, too. That’s why moisturizing is a great way to hit two birds with one stone! The right moisturizers can help you handle your sensitive skin, AND keep eczema and rosacea flare-ups to a bare-faced minimum— at the same time!
Very Sensitive Skin:
The right moisturizers can help skin that is allergic, atopic, or with certain barrier-compromised or inflammatory conditions such as rosacea and psoriasis. They can specifically strengthen the skin’s barrier layer, supplement fatty acids native to skin, and are anti-inflammatory and allergen-free (obviously!). This helps manage the condition, sooth the skin, and prevent flare-ups keeping you and your skin cool and happy all day long!
For eczema and rosacea, a moisturizer with antimicrobials that target the microorganisms common to these skin conditions is also helpful. For rosacea, try Red Better Daily Therapy Moisturizer. For all other sensitive skin conditions, we recommend Know-It-Oil, organic virgin coconut oil or Oil’s Well Nurturing Do-It-Oil.

“Love love this moisturizer:I am in love with VMV Hypoallergenics and in love with this moisturizer. I have dry very sensitive skin (think mild rosacea, eczema, and very fair skin color). My skin soaks this up but still feels moisturized and never greasy. Before I found this lotion, the best option I found was to use a thinner moisturizer followed by a thicker moisturizer, and my skin didn’t do half as well.” – skinthusiast Olivia S, Chicago IL
“I’ve also added in the mandelic acid toner, and my friends tell me my skin looks amazing, “positively glowing”. Just a heads up on the toner, though, I am only at every other day-ish because my skin freaks out with every day. I haven’t even tried twice a day.” – skinthusiast Olivia S, Chicago IL
“My next step is to see how my skin does using some of the red better line to help/prevent rosacea flare ups. Because I haven’t used them yet, I can’t speak to which is better, but I’d be very interested to hear other people’s opinions.” – skinthusiast Olivia S, Chicago IL
