So my face is really dry and I was wondering if there's anything I can us to stop it from drying out? And to get rid of the dead skin?
It's got a lot worse since I've been unwell.
I don't like using products, so can anybody recommend something which isn't likely to be tested on animals?

Body Shop products aren't tested on animals, if that's any help.

Yeah, I normally shop in Lush.
Their Karma perfume is amazing.
Pop in and have a chat to them about it, they tend to be helpful and give you a few options.
Be worth going in there and asking what they suggest maybe
I wouldn't recommend you test it out, just in case though.
They probably are as they're all natural.
Well poo is natural too me dear
My aloe vera stuff causes me to flare up. Appaently olive oil might work?
I don't do girl stuff very well.
Some of them smell edible!!!!
I'd doubt it, the skin on your face tends to be alot more delicate than anywhere else on your body, so you'll need a cream suitable for your skin type which is a facial body moisturizer.
And Ballerina, I can't imagine why an exfoliant would make your skin worse? Unless you were really scrubbing hard, and making it red and angry, or it wasn't suitable for your skin type? Exfoliants are there to remove the drier dead layer of your skin cells which we lose regularly anyway, it just ensures it's all gone, to expose the newer softer layer on skin.
well mine was flaring up and got really dry, and i kept exfoliating it and then moisturising but it'd be back within a few minutes. I'd used it before with no problems. It depends why your skins dry tbh. Mines very sensitive so i think it was getting angry at me.
Yeah, alot of exfoliators don't agree with sensitive skins unfortunetly (I'm the same) unless they're specifically for sensitive skin. And even then you have to be careful.
Maybe try St Ives Apricot Scrub for sensitive skin? It's quite good and delicate. My skins nice enough after using it, (if a bit tight feeling) but I'm quite badly allergic to one of the ingredients, so it's my own fault really
thats the scrub i was using lol
Oh god I'm still searching for one that's good on sensitive skin (bar the college ones, as they're far too expensive), If I find one, I'll let you know
Yeah may do, they actually have BUAV approved face masks in Boots and Wilko's, ta.
