Title: skin problems and skin products
Post by: Jeepers on March 06, 2020, 11:01:09 AM

Hi all

I seem to have developed ultra sensitive skin and a variety of skin conditions.

I get very dry sore skin around my eyes, which is red and sore.  I have been using Boots No 7 skin care for many years, but now, it makes my skin sting around my eyes, and on my forehead.
I also get small dry patches on my face, as well as other parts of my body (legs, arms , buttocks) which take about a month to go. Sometimes I get them on my  face as well.

So, my question is, do other people have these things, and if so, what skin care do you use? IT's making me (more) miserable

My eyes also get really sore, and I just want to stay in a darkened room when this happens (I do have an eye condition, scarred corneas, due to corneal erosion syndrome)

thanks

I have dry and rosacea prone skin since peri. Cannot even use water on my face. I have been using la Roche pose tolerance range from boots and it really has calmed my skin down.  I recommended it to a friend who developed dry skin patches around her mouth in Peri and it cleared it up.
