    I'm not sure why but recently my skin has become incredible sensitive. I have not changed products I use in about a year but my skin seems to be reacting to them all of a sudden and i am getting some tingling/stinging in particular around my forehead and eyes. And Ive had some itchyness/redness on my neck.


    I use the Olay regenerist day and night creams as well as the serums, plus I use boots ingredients caffeine eye cream. I use the boots no 7 foaming face wash in the morning and then in the evening I use the soap and glory cleansing balm to remove make up/sunscreen followed by a vitamin C wash or the same foaming face wash I use in the morning.


    I have combination skin, fairly normal on the cheeks with some oilyness in my tzone, particularly my nose and chin.

    Could this be a change in season and the winter conditions coming in affecting my skin? Any products people recommend.

    Oh I shouldn't bring life back to zombie threads... but anyway.

    I bought some moringa oil recently. It stinks! It does, quite like jasmine, but not in a good way.

    But, using just a tiny bit gives a nice balming effect to the face. It seems to create a nice oily barrier on the skin without being too greasy, as long as you use only a tiny bit; the smell quickly goes away. It might be a nice winter balm for the face or lips. And cheap too. 150ml for around €6 from Amazon.

    It seemed a bit too heavy for the hair, so I'll stick to the argan oil for that.
