Forever Living Product Review

I’ve kindly been given a set of testers to try out to improve the appearance of my skin. Forever Living is a skincare and healthy living company, founded 36 years ago in America. Since then, Forever Living has globally revolutionised the lives (and skin) of many people, and is now available world wide. This is not the first time I have heard about Forever Living; my brother used the products as a toddler to soothe his flared up eczema, and the results were successful. My friend has now become a Forever Living representative, so I jumped on the opportunity to try them out for myself!

Today, she brought round 10 bottles of Forever Living tester products, which I have to keep until the end of the
week. I will use the products numerous times every day in hope that my skin will look healthier, more radiant,
but most importantly, to reduce the appearance of my eczema.

Aloe is famously known in the beauty industry to provoke health benefits, due to being enriched
with vitamins and minerals. Aloe is used to treat scars, burns, acne and various skin conditions,
such as eczema. But aloe is not just a lotion that you can apply to your skin, you can also drink it!
The Forever Living representative, Sarah, explained that eczema is caused by a weak immune system,
therefore if you treat the internal problem, the external issues start to improve! This explains so much;
such as why I have so many allergies and I always seem to be the first to catch a cold in the winter.

Forever Living believe in the success of their products, which is why they offer a money back guarantee
if you are not satisfied with the results after 60 days. But, I cannot see why anyone would do this because
I’ve started to see miraculous results already!

I have been using three products since approximately 4pm this afternoon.

The first, Aloe Vera Gelly, which is a ‘soothing clear gel’ consisting of pure, highly concentrated aloe vera.
The product claims to ‘calm irritation’ and is ‘suitable for the most sensitive skin’. The product undoubtedly
conforms to this description. After just five hours my skin has started to improve: the appearance is not as red,
and it feels soft, smooth and supple. The product was gentle and did not cause any irritation. I was surprised
that this is only priced at £12.24. I was expecting that it would cost a lot more; it is definitely worth the price!

I’ve been combining this with a moisturiser called Aloe Propolis Creme. Propolis is a substance gathered by
honeybees, which is perhaps why it smells so gorgeous! I was walking around Tesco earlier and every time I went
to pick up an item from the shelf, all I could smell was this lovely hand-cream! The formula is quite rich and thick,
which I like to find in a moisturiser as my skin is very dry, particularly on my hands. The product didn’t cause any
 irritation, it made my hands instantly feel hydrated and full of life! This moisturiser is slightly more expensive at
 £14.96, but it should last awhile as each bottle contains 113g worth of the moisturiser. 

I have also been using Aloe Hand and Face Soap. Unlike other brands, this does not sting my hands when I use it as it is free from harsh chemicals. The formula is like a thick serum, and smells very fresh. It can be used as a normal soap, or as a face cleanser to take your make up off at the end of the day. It perfectly safe for use near eyes as it is tear free, which means that if it does gets into contact with eyes then they will not sting and start running. This is priced at £10.84, and is perfect if other soap products seem to dry out and aggravate your skin even more!

The results

You can undoubtedly see from comparing the pictures below to the pictures
 before using the aloe vera product, that the redness of my skin on the front and
 back of my hands has been calmed down from my immediate use of using the
combination of Forever Living products.

I cannot wait to start trying out the other products featured in my testing pack.
 I’ll keep you all updated with my progress!

Jewellery that won't damage your skin

Have you ever had an itchy rash after you’ve worn a piece your favourite piece of Topshop jewellery? I know, the cheap price and pretty designs may be luring. But, have you ever considered that you are allergic to high-street jewellery?

Most high-street jewellery is made from nickel, which is one of the most frequent allergy aggravators activating contact dermatitis. I had the most gorgeous piece of jewellery; it was a bangle bracelet with three rings attached to it through a metal chain (very hard to describe!), but this caused eczema down all of the three fingers that I wore the rings on, and on my knuckles! This was when I realised that it was time to ditch the jewellery, as it did not suit my skin at all! 

However I love jewellery, and I wasn’t ready to give it up for good so I needed to find some alternatives to complete my outfits!

I had a rummage through my jewellery box and the first alternative I found was an elegant pearlbracelet. The best thing about pearls, is that they go with any outfit (and, of course, they don’t trigger any allergy!). ‘Tiffany and Co’ sell some beautiful pearl bracelets, but similar designs can be found on the high-street.

One of my favourite necklaces is from Zara. The wonderful thing about this necklace is that, although it has been made from a metal, the metal is covered with a satin material, so none of the metal comes into contact with my delicate skin. It was approximately £30, but this was a Christmas present and Zara change their stock regularly. However, look out for similar designs! I wear this necklace with anything and everything! My day-time style is usually smart-casual, and when I go out I like to dress up! Therefore, this beautifully embellished necklace makes every outfit!

Back of Zara necklace

Finally, although this isn’t jewellery, no one can be without a silk scarf! So many shops sell them, from high-street to designer. If you suffer from eczema or dry skin around your neck, then it’s a great way of covering it up, and because of the soft and silky material it will not aggravate your skin. I like to wear a lot of black and cream, so it’s a good way of adding in colour to your outfit, and a good way of making a casual outfit look smart. I’m sure that I wear mine at least twice a week, if not more! Here’s some of my favourites:

It would be rude to not include an Alexander McQueen scarf, buy the Psychedelic Multi Skull Silk scarf for £325 here:

This Givenchy Mermaid Rose Cotton Scarf  is equally as gorgeous, buy it here from Selfridges for £365.

Paul Smith Floral Pashmina 

Aspinal’s Horseshoe-printed Silk Scarf is less expensive at £70 and available to buy here:

Miracle Serum for Eyes

As a result of using this product, I have been able to wear make up products such as eyeshadow and a MAC mascara, which previously dried out my sensitive eyes even more!
I have sufferrd from dry and red eyes for years now, and I have struggled to find a suitable product that’s delicate enough to treat the eczema on this highly sensitive part of my body. However, this all changed when I was introduced to using a ’1% Hydrocortisone’ ointment by family members that also have eczema. After one use, the swelling on my eyelids had reduced and now, less than a week later, my eyes are completely eczema free!

I have been told that there’s strict rules for using this product. You must apply it three times a day, if your eczema is extreme, then once when it’s clearing up, and stop using out when your skin has healed! Obviously, this is just an outline of the procedure and you should listen to the advise from your doctor or skin specialist! But if I were you, I would book an appointment at your local doctors, so you can see the amazing results from using this product!

Suffering from skin conditions? Look no further than at your pet

My last two posts explained how I had a new house mate, Sherman the hamster. Since having Sherman, my eczema has been out of control; it has been dry to the point of bleeding, my eyelids have cracked, and I have been as red as a lobster. Unfortunately, much to everyone’s dismay, after a week of living with Sherman I made the decision that he had to be re-homed.

Last night I didn’t stay in the house, my skin was so bad that I needed a night away from Sherman and, in less than twelve hours, my skin has made radical changes. My inflamed, dry and cut skin has healed! It’s now just a little bit dry, but not to the extent that they were previously, definitely nothing that a few applications of ‘Yes Nurse! Protect Your Lovely Hands’ can’t handle (a product review and buying instructions are available here!). 

I knew that Sherman was affecting me, but I didn’t realise that just spending a few hours out of the house would cause such an improved difference! This just goes to show how much pets can affect skin, and although it’s difficult, it’s best to keep your distance. Whether this means staying as far away as possible, such as putting the pet in its own room, taking anti-histamines, or even consider re-homing them.

Pictured below is my hands while living with Sherman, compared to 12 hours living away from Sherman.

Living with Sherman

Living without Sherman

I’m not a Doctor, but in my opinion, none of their prescribed medicines have ever healed my skin as quickly as this. This just goes to show that when it comes to eczema, one of the main problems is the aggravating factors around you, such as stress or allergens. My best advise is if you erase the aggravator, you erase the problem. A gentle high street moisturiser such asDove Summer Glow for your body, Yes Nurse! for your hands, and a No7 face moisturiser, will help you keep things under control after the allergen or aggravator has been removed.

I hope you have found this as interesting as I have!

Beauty Secrets to Calm Allergies

My post yesterday described my allergies to pets. I’m going through one of those ‘depressed-about-my-skin’ phases, so I’m trying to disguise my eczema and allergy infected skin as well as possible.

To do this, I’m using a hand moisturiser called ‘Yes! Nurse: Protect Your Lovely Hands’. I brought this online following the advise of my hairdresser, who suffers from dry hands, because she’s constantly washing them! The product was developed by a nurse who suffered with eczema. Her hands became red-raw as she had to wash her delicate skin so much. Therefore, she decided to make her own moisturiser using natural ingredients, to avoid dryness and to have a product gentle enough for eczema prone skin. I have just applied this product, and although my hands are still red the dryness has decreased. This product is definitely a good investment for people suffering with dry hands, such as hairdressers, busy mums, doctors, dentists, nurses, people working in the catering industry – the list is endless! This product has been featured in Vogue, so you know it’s worth an investment! In terms of price, it’s not expensive at £5.49 for a single tube, or you can buy two for £10. The tube itself isn’t bulky, so it’s perfect to fit inside any sized bag; whether it’s a tote bag or clutch. You can also include this in your cabin luggage at the airport (I must stress that taking a moisturiser on a plane is aMUST for people with dry skin, because the air conditioning completely dries out our fragile skin and does it no favours!).

My eyes are also affected by my pet allergy; they’re red, puffy, and swollen – just what you need! I struggle to know what to put on my eyes when they’re dry. The only thing that seems to work, and is gentle enough for my skin, is Aloe Vera Vaseline. Today I applied a thin layer, because it’s very oily and sticky, then applied No7 ‘Stay Perfect Foundation’ (click here for a product review) to dry and mask the redness. Luckily it worked, it may not have erased the problem completely, but at least my eyes look slightly more normal now!

To keep my shoulders and arms as free from an allergic breakout of eczema as possible, I am applying Dove Summer Glow twice a day, instead of once a day, to try to keep my skin as moisturised as possible. It comes in two different shades, for Light to Medium, or Medium to Darkskin tones. This product really helps keep my skin under control; you can see the benefits of using it here. Not only does it moisturise my skin, but it also builds up a gradual tan, which is perfectly preparing me for the summer months ahead!

How Pet Allergies Contribute to Pet Allergies

I love pets, but sadly I am allergic. I have two pets at home, one short haired cat named Dee, and a long haired cat, named Perdy. In my other house, where I am currently living, a new resident has just moved in: a hamster called Sherman. People are surprised that such a small animal can cause such adverse affects on my skin.

Since Sherman has started living with us, I have had small white bumps emerge on my hand, a dry rash on my face, red puffy swollen eyes. These are the same symptoms that happen when I go back home,especially if I am close to Dee (a short haired cat). As much as I love her, I have to keep my distance. This means, she is not allowed on my bed, although she tries, and I try to avoid her using my lap as a second best option for a bed. As far as Sherman is concerned, I try to keep my distance, although he is currently in a communal area, which isn’t helping my skin and is difficult to avoid.

Long haired pets definitely have a different affect. Perdy is my oldest pet, and because she has long fur, it comes out in clumps which look like cotton wool. Whereas Dee’s fur seems to get everywhere! I have never had a bad experience with Perdy, and as far as I was concerned before we got other pets my only allergies were nickel and hayfever. Therefore, if you are going to buy a pet and someone in your family has an allergy a long haired pet will be best. But, incase it does affect someone, it’s probably best to stick to fish I’m afraid!

It wasn’t until I was away from home for a few months that I realised I was allergic to pets. Since I adore them so much, I didn’t make the link that my bad skin conditions got worse when we got Dee, and cleared up when I was away from her for a long period of time. The addition of Sherman confirms my allergies to pet fur.

But what to do?
The only way I can keep the allergies at bay is by taking Tesco’s ‘One-a-day hayfever and allergy relief’ tablets, that are non-drowsy. It’s so important that you buy non-drowsy tablets, because the only way I have found that drowsy tablets work is by knocking you out! This helps slightly, but my skin is still ridiculously dry and swollen. Sherman will be moving from the communal areas, so I don’t have to come into contact with him, so hopefully this works, because no matter how much moisturiser I apply, it doesn’t seem to be keeping things at bay at the moment.

If you have any advise, or are in a similar situation, I’d love to know how you deal with skin conditions by commenting below!

Let’s hope things improve soon!

Exfoliation: The Golden Rule for Dry Skin

It is a common misconception that people with dry skin shouldn't exfoliate. Up until I received advise from a skin care specialist, I also thought that exfoliating was one of the worst things to treat dry skin. However I, like many others, are wrong. In fact, exfoliation has been one of my skin savers when I break out in a bad spell of eczema. It's important to remember that dry skin is usually very sensitive, and some exfoliators can be very rough. Therefore, I would advise using an exfoliator marketed for use on the face on the whole body, because products designed for using on the face are usually designed to be gentle, which will not upset delicate skin types.

As a general rule, I now do not use any product that isn't marked 'hypoallergenic' or allergy tested. This means I am quite limited to the products that I can use, but it's worth having full confidence that the product I am buying will not aggravate my skin. Therefore, I use Clinique '7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula'. It's £18.50 but a little goes a long way, so the product lasts ages. I use this product at least once a week, depending on how dry my skin is: the more dry my skin is, the more I use it.

To use this product, I wet my face with a flannel using warm water. Then, I put a little blob on my nose, cheek bones, and forehead, and use circular motions to ensure the product covers my face and allows the exfoliation process to work. Once I feel as though the product cannot be rubbed any more, I take it off using warm water and a cotton wool pad. I use cotton wool, because I feel like it removes the residue better than a flannel. After this, I moisturise using No7 ‘Beautiful Skin Day Cream’ for Dry/Very Dry skin. 

My skin instantly feels smoother, and all the flakey skin has been removed, revealing a soft base ready for applying makeup.

My advise is, that any one with dry skin should go out and buy a hypoallergenic exfoliator to be one step closer to achieving perfect skin!

The Best False Eyelashes for Sensitive Skin

I had to stop wearing false eyelashes; when I wore them, my eyes reacted and instead of having desirable eyes, I had red and swollen eyes, that were itchy and dry. Therefore, I had to layer on my mascara, as I love having long, thick luscious lashes! I am lucky enough to have naturally long and thick eyelashes, but in pictures natural eyelashes seem to be swallowed by the camera's flash, and I missed wearing them!

I previously wore 'Eyelure 107' eyelashes, which vary in price depending where you buy them from, but they're usually just over £5. These are long eyelashes all around the eye area, which I do like, and I am pictured wearing below (right). 

However, I think the glue was too strong, and after wearing for an evening my eyes started to swell.

I aimed to find a hypoallergenic eyelash glue, and as luck would have it, No7 have excelled again for us with sensitive skin! I decided I wanted a change from my usual Eyelure 107 eyelashes, and wanted something a little more natural. However, I have tried 'Eyelure 100' lashes, and the lashes were thinner and shorter than my natural lashes, so I wanted to find something in the middle.

I went to Boots, and had a long search through all the different types of eyelashes. I was either going to buy No7 'Hypo-allergenic Lash Adhesive', which comes in a large mascara-sized tube for £7.50, then buy a pair of eyelashes from another brand, but after a long decision I decided to buy 'No7 Lash 30 Exceptional Definition', which includes a small bottle of their hypo-allergenic lash adhesive.

I did need to add a little bit of mascara to the eyelashes to make them a little bolder, but I think it's because I am used to having high volume eyelashes. I applied the glue, waited a minute for it to go tacky, and then applied it to my eyes. Usually, my eyelids start to tickle and itch. However, I did not notice that these eyelashes were on and experienced no irritation all evening.

I would definitely recommend using No7's Hypo-allergenic Lash Adhesive, but I may keep looking to find my perfect shape false eyelashes.

Fake Tanning Solves Eczema and Sensitive Skin Disorders!

I aimed to discover whether fake tanning moisturisers can benefit eczema-prone skin. I was fed up of having to hide my inflamed red skin on a night out. I hated having pictures taken, especially with the flash on, as in my eyes all I saw was my eczema taking over my body. Prescribed creams never seem to help, and the only time my eczema cleared up was on holiday abroad. Although buying a holiday home abroad would be a lovely idea, it’s not a reality, therefore I decided to use a self tanning moisturiser, ‘Dove Summer Glow’, to test whether a similar effect would be achieved, and if a ‘bottle’ tan would have similar benefits to a sun tan.

I applied the self-tanner every day after a shower or bath, usually before I went to bed. I was anxious that it would be streaky, or I would end up looking orange, but neither have happened. I aimed to have a natural looking tan, as I was attending a party and wanted to be able to confidently wear an outfit without having to worry about my eczema being on show. 

The results:

‘Dove Summer Glow’ is without a doubt the best product I have ever used to erase my eczema. My skin immediately improved as soon as I started to use the product, and has got better and better as the days progressed. The redness has gone, my skin is not dry or irritable, and instead it has freshly sun-kissed glow. The product is gentle, and never made my skin sting, or caused irritation. My confidence has been restored, and I could not wait to slip on my dress to show off my skin! I wore a black racer front dress from Zara, which showed off a lot of shoulder (a place where my eczema is usually particularly bad), with a statement necklace, also from Zara. But my best accessory was the confidence that I gained from the look of my skin! 

You can buy ‘Dove Summer Glow’ from a variety of shops, including Boots, Superdrug and supermarkets, for approximately £5, but keep your eye out for offers, as I managed to purchase mine at the reduced price of £3.55 at Sainsbury’s. 

I used the shade ‘fair to normal’ skin, but now I feel that if I wanted to enhance my skin tone I could start to use ‘normal to dark’, but I may wait until the summer to go up a shade so it looks natural. below is a picture of my skin taken on the final day of using the moisturiser, when you compare this to the appearance of my skin before using ‘Dove Summer Glow’, you can physically see the benefits of using this product.

Nail Polishes for Sensitive Skin

I’ve read before that nail varnish can trigger a flare-up of eczema. Since reading the article, I have noticed that certain nail varnishes do make my eczema become inflamed, and my hands become red and dry. For awhile, I stopped using nail varnish to try to keep my hands in the best condition possible, but why should people with sensitive skin be left out when all their friends have perfectly manicured hands? It’s just not fair, I thought to myself.

However, for Christmas I received a set of ‘W7′ nail varnishes. I was so pleased when it didn’t make my eczema worse! One colour is a crimson red, with a pearl undertone, which looks gorgeous! It applies fairly quick, and dries extremely fast, which is perfect for busy women! Unfortunately, I cannot advise you where to buy this from, or the price of the item because it was a gift, but I have included a picture of the product, so you can keep your eyes pealed!

W7 nail varnishes are perfect for sensitive skin

Another nail varnish I would recommend for sensitive and eczema prone skin, is ‘No7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour’, available from Boots, at £6. I brought this product as I use multiple No7 makeup and skin care products, as they are hypoallergenic. In simple terms, this basically means that their products have been tested on sensitive skin, and have fewer allergens in them, therefore this means their products are gentle on sensitive skin. I chose shade ’14 – Oyster’, which is similar to my Barry M nail varnish in ‘Ice Cream Pink’. However, I had to replace it with the No7 colour as it started to go gloppy, but at no surprise considering it is years old! When my hands are sore, they have a red tone to them in places, therefore wearing a pale shade of nail varnish creates an illusion of calmer looking skin, in comparison to a vibrant shade, which enhances red skin tones. This is the first day of wearing this shade of nail varnish, therefore I will let you know how things progress, but so far so good!

No7 is also a perfect choice for eczema prone skin

Can Fake-tan Solve Eczema?

It is nearing the end of my ‘Dove Summer Glow’ challenge. My aim is to achieve a clearer complexion! For those who haven’t followed my progress so far, I have achieved positive result from using this product.  From day one, the redness of my skin has decreased, and it is no longer dry, inflamed and itchy.

Today there are hardly any imperfections, apart from a scratch scar across my chest, which will hopefully go down after a few days. To compare this to the condition of my skin before using ‘Dove Summer Glow’, please click here, and you will notice the clear improvements from the past few days.

Today’s Progress

My skin is also gradually starting to tan; I haven’t gone from resembling ‘Snow White’ to one of Willy Wonka’s Oompa Loompa’s, and instead I have a subtle sun-kissed glow!

I would recommend for anyone to use this product, as it is gentle, provides quick results, and provides moisture for thirty skin!

I have applied quite a thick layer of this product this evening, therefore I will keep you posted on the results tomorrow, which is my final day of using this product! Wish me luck!

Can self-tanning moisturisers benefit dry skim and eczema? (Part 3)

It’s day 4 of my Dove Summer Glow review. I have set myself a challenge: I aim to have sun-kissed skin with as minimal eczema possible. I set myself this challenge after noticing that my eczema clears up when I get a ‘natural’ tan, therefore I wondered if a similar effect could be achieved without having to buy a plane ticket! Although I’d love to have a holiday home on a beautiful exotic island, the changes are quite low, and instead I’ve opted for a bottle of ‘Dove Summer Glow’, at the reduced price of just over £3 from Sainsbury’s. 

The results so far have been astonishing. On day 1, I took a photo of my skin before using the self-tanning moisturiser, and in comparison to my skin now it’s unrecognisable! My skin has transformed from being dry, red and itchy, to looking moisturised, healthy and no longer the vibrant red colour that it was previously. I have so much more confidence already; I no-longer feel the need to hide away in high-neck tops, and instead I want to show off my healthy sun-kissed skin! A friend even complimented me the other day and said ‘I can’t believe you still have your tan from the summer’, which shows that not only is the product working, it also looks like I have a natural tan!

Day 4 of using Dove Summer Glow

When you compare this to my skin before using the self-tanner (below), you can see that my skin is no longer looking red and inflamed and all that remains is a scratch on my chest, which will hopefully go!

Before using Dove Summer Glow

Dove Summer Glow has not irritated my skin at all, and I have nothing bad to report on it! The only thing I will mention is to remember to wash your hands thoroughly after using this product, as if not you may end up with fingers resembling carrots… But so long as you remember to wash them, you will be fine!

I advise that anyone with eczema, dry skin,  sensitive skin, or even normal skin tries this product! It is a healthy way of tanning, compared to sun beds and sun bathing, as you are at no risk from being burnt.

Can Fake-tanning Moisturisers Benefit Sensitive Skin?

I have set myself a challenge to improve the appearance of my skin in just 5 days using the self-tanning moisturiser 'Dove Summer Glow'. As explained in my previous post,  ''Can self-tanning moisturisers benefit skin?' I am testing whether the tanning process helps to reduce eczema, after noticing that when I go abroad and get a tan my eczema completely disappears.  

Progress: Day 2 

I have been using 'Dove Summer Glow' in the shade 'fair to normal skin' for two days now, applying it when I get out of the bath in the evening, and letting it dry slightly before getting ready for bed. In my previous post, I showed a picture of my skin before applying the product; my skin was inflamed, red and covered in eczema. However, after moisturising using Dove Summer Glow, the appearance of my skin started to improve. Day two has provided more benefits! My eczema has started to clear up, my skin feels soft and subtle, it is no longer a harsh red colour, and it is beginning to look radiant and sun-kissed! I am ecstatic with these results, and I feel confident that I will be able to wear any outfit for the party, and not focus on finding one that covers up my skin!

Day Three of using Dove Summer Glow

Before using Dove Summer Glow

Day two of using Dove Summer Glow

When you compare this to the previous two days, it is evident that my skin is already improving! Patches of my eczema have disappeared, in the same way that it clears up when I catch a 'natural sun tan' abroad! In the remaining three days, I will focus on trying to remove the large scratch. But for now, I cannot believe how much my skin has improved in just two days! The image above shows evidence of my eczema on my chest today, and when you compare it to the images below of the past two days, you can see just how much using Dove Summer Glow is improving and providing benefits to the appearance of my skin! If you're interested in buying 'Dove Summer Glow', or finding out more information regarding products for dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin, please click here.
