Skin Products for Combination & Sensitive Skin

From Orchid -

I have combination & sensitive skin. What skin product do you recommend for day & night that works. Want to prevent early stage of wrinkle and keep the skin moist. Web sites if available. Thanks.

Dear Orchid,

Over the years I have tried many skincare lines. The way I would test them was to have a facial with my aesthetician, use a product line for 30 days as recommended by the line, and then have my regular facial to see the verdict. Last year I tested a product line that was amazing. After only 3 days of use, everyone was asking what I did. The product line is Hylunia. I am not affiliated with them, and receive no compensation for recommending them. Hylunia may be found at http://www.hylunia.com/. It was developed by a man who was a rocket scientist and his wife who is a doctor, because their children were having allergic reactions to most of the products on the market. Hylunia is all natural. They use no chemical preservatives, so it is perfect for sensitive skin. At fifty, I have some fine lines. Hylunia has brought back the moisture to my skin, reduced my lines and hyper pigmentation. Hylunia is based with hyaluronic acid (which gets depleted from our skin with age). The products that I use from this line are: The Facial Cleansing Gel (day & Night). The Rose water mist toner (great anytime especially here in AZ), Beyond C to help reduce the signs of aging and hyper pigmentation. Facial Day lotion for the day and at night the Ultimate Anti Oxidant. It may sound like a lot, but you use very little and it last at least 6 months for me. The cost is very reasonable. The company is based in PA and they also have a medical line called Hymed which has products that are used to repair the skin of burn patients. For the body, I love their Shimmering Heal & restoring cream. If you need any additional information, please call me.

Sincerely Yours

Skin Break Out

Amber71 ask -
On my lip and eyebrows, my skin breaks out really bad and then gets very dry. this lasts for about a week and its very noticeable. any ideas as to how to minimize the breakout and decrease the dryness? aloe after the wax didn't seem to work.

Dear Amber71
It sounds as though you have sensitive skin and you may have a problem with the wax they are using. Your aesthetician should use a sensitive skin cold wax (as opposed to a gold hot wax that is removed with a cloth strip), they should try to prep and clean the area and then dust with powder. Apply the wax and pull it off they should not double dip in the wax and they should not wax the same area twice. After the removal you may want them to use a lavender oil and perhaps use tend skin later. If that does not work then you should probably switch to tweezing. www.spavelous.com
