Question:
Moisturiser for spotty skin
I hear loads about bodywashes for spot prone skin on the chest and back but what about a suitable moisturiser?
I feel like all my hard work is being undone.:(
Is this just a moisturiser for your body then, not your face? I don't actually use a moisturiser on my back but I find that a lightweight one is best for the body. I actually use Palmer's cocoa butter on my body as it gets very dry, apart from on my chest where I use a Boots vitamin E one when I need it as this area is spot-prone. I find that after showering with African black soap my skin in that area is actually pretty moisturised anyway so this has helped solve the problem of how to moisturise spotty areas on my body.
Yeah it's for my body, my back mostly.
African black soap- where would I get that?
I guess the thing to do is to wash with something that is moisturising so I don't have to layer the moisturiser on afterwards.
I get mine from Akua's site and you can buy a sample on there if you want to try it out. Alternatively Akamuti does a liquid version. It seems to be an all-round wonder product for me: it's cleared up my skin completely on my back and chest and has soothed the eczema on my legs. I don't know how it does it but I'm very impressed.
I second African Black Soap, it's great for clearing skin (I use it on my face too) but doesn't dry it out like most soaps do. :great: I get it from Akamuti, very quick service & a 130g bar is only £3.75. It lasts absolutely ages too because it lathers up sooooo much. You wouldn't think it would looking at it but it really does. :)
