Redness for dry sensitive skin?!?

i'm 18 and i have great skin, even before i was on birth conrtol. Its the dry sensitive type. But lately ive been breaking out alot and i have red dots everywhere! And its definitly not my diet because i hardly have any sugar and i'm usually pretty healthy, so i'm really bummed and stumped.





What i'm asking is do you have any suggestions for redness and clear skin?

Redness for dry sensitive skin?!?
i personally have never used any of Aveeno's products, but i know someone who uses them because she has roseca(its when you are dry and itchy all the time) they are all natural and are suppose to be good with dry itchy skin.They have facewashes and facial cremes. Along with primrose tea oil capsules that helped me when i had really itchy skin from acne medicines. You can find these oil capsules at a health food store
Reply:Some of the ingredients in body care products cause contact dermatitis - for example, redness, burning, itchiness, hives, blotchies, pimples, acne, blackheads and increase the severity of pre-existing skin conditions such as acne and eczema.





See if any of these common allergens are in any of your body care products, including shampoo, conditioner and make-up. I don't know why we can't post links anymore, but these are links to federal research studies. Just copy both lines and reconnect at the line break if you want to go to the resources for my research. Or, click the link on my profile to go to my site to read the petition for Truth in Labeling for the cosmetics industry - all of this information is in there and tons more. Thanks.





Propylene Glycol -


In certain medicines, cosmetics, and food products, propylene glycol acts as an emulsifying agent, industrial drying agent, surfactant, and solvent. It has been shown to cause contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals.

Sodium Laureth Sulfate -


When rinsed off, the product will have cleaned the area but will have taken moisture from the top layers of skin. In people with sensitive skin (prone to dermatitis, acne, eczema, psoriasis and chemical sensitivity), the drying property of these type of detergents can cause flare-ups of skin conditions or may worsen existing conditions.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine -


Cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) is a surfactant, and reports of allergic contact dermatitis to this chemical have been reported in the literature. Although most commonly found in rinse-off products, the chemical nonetheless has been shown to induce allergy.

Triethanolamine -


A total of 54 positive reactions were found, 23 of which were clinically relevant, triethanolamine being the most frequent sensitizer. Patients with emulsifier sensitivity generally give a high prevalence of positive patch tests to other common ingredients of topical preparations, such as preservatives or active ingredients.
