Two years ago, I went through a rough time with my skin. I was constantly breaking out with a severe case of heat rash. Six months later and several medications, lotions, and soaps, it was determined that I had dermatitis.
Dermatitis comes in different degrees ranging from chronically dry skin, to severe and painful red blotches and or rashes. This is caused by allergic reactions to animal dander, perfumed body wash, lotions, and shampoos.
Since then, I had to do away with all the perfumed body wash and lotions. My dermatologist suggested Cetaphil body wash, lotion, and facial cleanser. The body wash and lotion work wonderfully. The facial cleanser, however, left my face dry and chapped.
I have tried countless facial cleansers to no avail. Each product worked great– No rash, skin was smooth, blemishes went away, then at the end of one week, my face would break out, and my rash would return.
Aveeno Active Naturals – has a product I discovered almost two-months ago, while on the search for another cleanser – Clear Complexion Cream Cleanser.
It is a mild blemish treatment cleanser free of perfumes and harsh chemicals.
I am happy to say, I have finally found a facial cleanser that lives up to its name and claim. My skin is free of blemishes, it is smooth and moist, and it does not irritate my dermatitis in any way.
My husband, children, and a few coworkers have complimented me on how good my skin has looked lately, and they did not even know I switched cleansers.
For those of you who have sensitive skin, I know you can appreciate the happiness I feel – no more red blotches and rashes for this face. If you are still on the search for a great product, I encourage you to try Clear Complexion Cream Cleanser. While you're at it, the Skin Relief Moisturizing Cream works great in relieving itchy skin caused by dry, chapped skin.
** If you are dealing with chronically dry skin and breaking out in unexplained rashes, visit a dermatologist. Over the counter medications can mask the possibility of a skin condition that will only get worse if improperly treated, causing unnecessary pain -- at least this is what happened to me.**
But then again, this is just one girl's experience.
