listersgirl: (why should i change)
Hoo boy I hate my skin. It objects to everything! The latest casualty is the awesome-smelling grapefruit body butter I bought at one of the four craft fairs I went to this past weekend. I used it yesterday, and by the time I went to bed, my arms and legs were itchy, red and bumpy. Argh! How can something that smells so good be so evil?

The short list of things that I have managed not to be allergic to or otherwise wronged by:

-SpectroJel (the unscented, un-anythinged version)
-Lubriderm (also the unscented, un-anythinged version)
-Body Shop body butter (amazingly)
-BPAL oils, except if they contain cinnamon (although I pretend not to know that, because most of my favourites have cinnamon)
-Kiss My Face pure olive oil soap (which is on notice, because I think it's making me break out, and even if it's not, I think it's making my skin drier than usual)
-That tinted moisturizer they stopped selling in Canada (but I now have a supply that will last me for at least another couple of years)
-Dove deodorant (which is also on notice, although I'm still not allergic, but it seems to have stopped working. There is no point to non-working deodorant. I'm scared, though, because every other deodorant I've tried has caused me to break out into a rash, from the super-scary chemical anti-persperant to the all-natural Lush baking powder blocks)

Pretty scented shower gels are pretty much always a disaster. Moisturizers are pretty terrible, too - not because of allergies, but because they make me break out. In the winter, even though I'm generating enough oil to support a small country, I'm also horrendously dry and flaky, so I've been experimenting with moisturizers, with no real luck so far. I have faith, though!

Sigh.
