Do You Have Sensitive Skin?

Growing up I used to get many compliments from friends, family and even strangers on my skin. While once in a while I'd get the occasional blemish, I never dealt with acne issues (even during those awkward teen years.)

Lately it seems as if things have changed. To put it mildly...my skin is a mess.

See:

While the most noticeable area affected has been my cheeks, my chin has become ruddy and bumpy and my skin is extremely dry. I even have peeling issues around my eyelid area. I thought this was because of the dry air last winter....but ummm....right....it's been almost a year and no matter how much I moisturize it doesn't get better.

I've been dealing with other health-realted issues and thought they might be the cause. Because of those issues and some stuff going on at work, I've also been under an extreme amount of stress. These things combined could be irritating my skin.

My regular skincare routine obviously hasn't been working, so when I was presented the opportunity from BzzAgent to try out the Burt's Bees® Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin I jumped on it!

I'm excited to try out these products for a few reasons.

Of course the first one is obviously I'm hoping it helps clear up my skin problems.

The second is because I love Burt's Bees® products.  All of their products are free of phthalates, parabens and soduium lauryl sulfate. The Sensitive Skin line contains 99% natural ingredients like cotton (seriously!!), rice and aloe.

Plus, this stuff is less expensive than my normal skincare products so if it works not only will my skin be clearer, but I'll be putting less chemicals onto my body and I'll be saving money!!!

I'll report back on my findings in a few weeks and provide a full product review. In the mean time, if you want to learn more check out the Burt's Bees® Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin Website or Like Burt's Bees®  on Facebook.

What do you use on your skin? I know many of my friends have turned to drugs like Accutane while others still swear on the same Neutrogena products we used in the 6th grade.

I'm hoping a combination of drinking more water, trying to eat better and using these new products will really help me out over the next few weeks. Fingers crossed!
