 I never had to worry about sensitive skin in my teens and twenties but it seems as I’ve gotten older I’ve become more like my mother in more ways than one. Now I have to deal with super-sensitive skin every day. Adding to my skin freak-outs was the fact that I would change my skincare routine monthly looking for the perfect regimen…and I’ve FINALLY found it. A huge component of my perfect skincare routine is the Organic Foaming Face Wash from Consonant Body. It’s gentle enough for my irritable skin and packed with nourishing botanicals, like tea tree oil and grapeseed oil, to help hydrate skin, eliminate uneven skin tones and fight blemishes. Just because it does wonders for me doesn’t mean it’s going to be your saving grace though. The face wash is $18 and should last you a couple of months, but if you want to take Consonant Body’s 30 day challenge, you can get the face wash, moisturizer and eye cream all for $90, and, if after a month, you don't think your skin looks and feels healthier and younger they will refund your money no questions asked. What do you have to lose? Consonant Body products are available at consonantbody.com, and select Bay and Sears department stores.
 I’ve spotted Burt’s Bees products numerous times at the drug store however for some reason they never really attracted me. But when my colleague handed me a bottle of Burt’s Bees Anti-Blemish Purifying Gel Cleanser and Anti-Blemish Daily Moisturizing Lotion, I finally thought to give the skin system a try. And I’m glad I did!
Made with 99.4% natural ingredients, the gel cleanser is quite watery when you first squeeze it out into your hand, but works into a nice lather once applied to the face. It’s very gentle and leaves the skin feeling refreshed and smooth after rinsing. It has a sweet, earthy fragrance but I love it because it isn’t over powering. The moisturizer has a smooth, creamy texture and is 100% natural. I used a couple of pumps and worked them between the hands before applying to my face. The product went on warm and felt soothing, perfect for those chilly fall mornings. A few minutes later, my entire face felt moisturized and had a healthy glow.
If you’re looking for an all natural anti-blemish skin system at an affordable price, the Burt’s Bees line is definitely one to consider. I can’t wait to try the rest of the products by this brand!
 No. 7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes
Okay, so I may not always be the picture of proper beauty regimen. Often it's too many steps and too much time, especially in the summer. Most days in the oppressive humidity, it's enough to even put on clothes, never mind a three- to four-step skin care "solution". Thankfully Boots Drugstore and their own No. 7 brand have the perfect thing for my seasonally lazy ass : No. 7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes. Designed to clean, tone and moisturize in one little towelette, the pro Vitamin B5, witch hazel and fennel extract clears pores, softens skin and leaves you feeling like you've accomplished something!
 My super sensitive, combination-oily, acne prone skin is the bane of my existence. I have dabbled from treatment to treatment in search of the perfect 3-step skincare routine but always find myself stuck with a moisturizer that just doesn’t do the trick. Most regular moisturizers are too greasy and most oil-free formulas aren’t moisturizing enough. The Clearasil Ultra Overnight Face Lotion really is the perfect balance. The formula is light, non-greasy and takes only seconds to absorb into my skin. After just one use, I woke up to skin that was baby soft yet completely shine free. After a few uses my skin looked clearer and smoother. This product is now officially part of my nightly bed-time routine.
 As stress set in, in my late 20s, I started to break out and turned to Proactive to keep the adult acne at bay…until I realized that the bleach spots on my pillowcases, towels and favourite tees were due to the popular skin treatment. It can’t be good for you to put something on your skin that bleaches your sheets so I vowed to ditch it as soon as I found an alternative. Three sheet sets and two towels sets later I discovered The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion and tossed the Proactive forever. I’ve been using the fade night lotion alone for about a year now with hardly any breakouts…and zero bleach stains.
