Avene - Micellar Lotion

Not sure why I didn't mention this before but here's another product I use that is great for cleansing my face. It's for sensitive skin prone to redness. Instead of using water to wash my face I use this especially when I have a flare up. What I do is take a cotton ball and soak it with the lotion (which is like water) and wipe my face with it. It cleans all the dirt off and if I'm wearing make-up it takes it all off as well. There isn't a need to rinse it off with water afterwards! My skin stays moisturized without drying and the lotion helps reduce the redness.

Of course, I still have to put on some sort of moisturizer after that because my skin is so dry, so now I use the CicaPlast. Or if my face is flared up I use my medicated cream. The lotion helps with the absorption. It's great!

Here's how the bottle looks like. You can get it at any Shoppers Drugmart. I got this one last year and I still have a lot left. As you can see it was on sale, but I can't remember how much it cost. I think it was about $22 or so. That's not too bad considering it lasts a long time and lately I've been using it day and night.

CicaPlast - Great Stuff

To follow up with my first post, I've been using the Cicaplast cream from La Roche-Posay for 2 weeks now and it's been really good. My skin is not flaky anymore so it looks a lot younger than it did before I started using it. My tiny wrinkles are not so noticable anymore, which is great because they were bothering me. That's the thing about dry skin and Eczema, it really matures the skin.

Anyways, since it was my Dermatologist that recommended this cream after I asked her about what I should use for my face other than my medicated cream to moisturize and keep the wrinkles at bay, she told me to try Cicaplast.

I thought I could get it at Shoppers but they didn't seem to have it so I went online to get it. I found a website http://www.well.ca/ and it was great because shipping is free!!! Love that plus for sure.

I've taken a picture of the cream here, so that it's easy for anyone to recognize the product. The Shoppers sales lady tried to convince me that Avene has the same product with the same ingredients but I didn't want to try something that my Dermatologist didn't recommend. If she wanted me to use the Avene product, she would've told me about it. But I do use the Water Mist from Avene when they are on sale, with the spring/mineral water sprays I just think all water mists would be beneficial to hydrate your skin; whether it's from Avene or ever Evian.

Okay, more on other great finds as soon as I find some. I'm still in search of anything good for my skin and that includes clothing.
