I never used to believe that all holistic or natural skin care could help with problem skin like mine- oily, dry, sensitive, mild acne, eczema all rolled into 1!! Yep thats my type of skin! I've always used skincare which is more chemical based, like cetaphil, tarzorac, oxy etc...they controlled my acne a little bit but made my skin dry, (and oily at the same time) and sensitive. Like i'd be dry on the surface but very oily underneath...and occasionally itchy. My aunt kept asking me to try using natural products.. so i finally gave it a go- and will never turn back!!
I think for acne prone skin (if your acne is not out of control), natural is really the way to go. I have found that the harsh chemicals in the skincare i used to use aggravated my skin to produce more oil, and made it more sensitive, hence the dry patches and itchiness. Im now using a brand that my aunt has recommended me called Clove, (www.cloveskincare.com.au) im using their pine tar soap bar and moisturiser for oily skin- thats all! I found that previously i used way too much products and gave me bad skin. My skin feels much more balanced now, and i feel like im doing my skin good using all these natural products. I dont have acne anymore, just blackheads whiteheads here and there...and occasionally eczema flare ups, for which i use Ego Pinetarsol face rinse (sold in most chemists) which work wonders!
Anyway just wanted to share my little story with you guys. Good luck in finding your holy grail products everyone!!
