Facial moisturizer?

[MrsMike]

Any recommendations for a facial moisturizer? I have very sensitive acne prone skin. I'm very leery of mose products because I'm afraid I'll break out. I just started using honey as a cleanser a few days ago. I tried it last year and then lapsed. I'm currently using Dove moisturizer but I want something more natural when that runs out.

A lot of us like jojoba oil. Soaks in nicely and little goes a long way.

I have very acne prone skin and as strange as it may seem, the jojoba oil helps my skin to not get so oily.

I can't say enough good things about jojoba oil.

I use it wash my face twice daily.

I apply it anywhere on my body (face included) that needs moisturizing.

It seems to instantly soothe irritated skin and quickly heal chapped lips.

I have sensitive, easily irritated, acne prone skin to. I can safely say that jojoba oil does NOT aggravate my skin at all.

I could go on and on.

Suffice it to say that I pure jojoba oil.

Thank you! A lot of people ask me why I even need a moisturizer because they tend to think acne prone skin means you're always oily. Not! My skin gets so dry after showers (even in cool water) and I'm dying if I don't use something. I'm running out to buy some jojoba oil after work today.

I LOVE the facial oils from www.mountainroseherbs.com They have jojoba in them as well.

third jojoba oil. Emu oil is really great as well. Also, Garden of Wisdom has a really good base cream for oily skin for really cheap.

I use jojoba oil in the morning, but I use tamanu oil at night (to clear up scars) or neem oil (on individual spots). I only use those at night bc the tamanu oil is very yellow(!) and both smell a little odd.

I am going to recommend something that isn't an oil, in case you wanted to try something else. I use Aubrey Organics Moist Ultimate unscented lotion (it's actually body lotion). I have extremely sensitive skin that is on the oily side and this works like a charm. No noxious smell and NOT greasy at all. I spritz a toner on first then add a tiny bit of lotion all over my face and it's perfect. Has really helped with acne and stress/red marks. Good luck.

Avalon Organics Vitamin C Line

This month we just started using Avalon Organics Vitamin C Renewal Facial Cream and Cleansing Gel. Both my husband and I are very happy. It is efffective, yet light, and smells clean and natural (like citrus).
