I was dog-sitting for my friend this month for 11 days, and I didn't have any toner or moisturizer to take with me. My mom had gotten some free Proactive from a friend so I grabbed some. I tried Proactive once before when I was about 13 or 14 and it actually made me break out. I thought it had been a while, and maybe my skin would take it differently this time around. It did, but not in the way I had hoped! I ended up having somewhat of an allergic reaction to it. It made my skin itch like crazy, and it dried it out too. Not horribly so, but it was pretty dry.I looked up some moisturizers online, settled on this one, and went and bought it at my local grocery store. I also picked up some Burt's Bees Garden Tomato Toner to help kill whatever was causing this reaction naturally. I only used my usual face wash, the toner, and moisturizer for a few days while my skin calmed down, and then I used my normal face scrub and exfoliated my face really well.
That combo literally saved my skin. My face felt amazingly smooth after, and because Simple products have no dyes, perfumes, or harsh irritants it didn't cause me to break out either. And as for Burt's Bees, I've been a fan for a long time.
It says "rich moisturizer" and that made me a little leery because I have oily skin, but it didn't mess with my skins natural oil production. I could not recommend this stuff more! I'm definitely going to be looking into more of the Simple skin products!
Until next time,
Abby
