As someone who has very sensitive, acne prone skin, I am always looking for good products that won’t irritate my skin. Here are some of my favorite products I have found along the way!

Curology

I have struggled so much to find an effective face wash and acne medication combo. I recently found Curology and could not be more happy with their product. They give you a personalised medication and you can add on a face wash and moisturizer to your order. The face wash is really nice and the moisturizer is the best I have ever used out of the millions of moisturizers I have tried. Effective and gentle on the skin, Curology is a must!

A small custom bottle cost $19.95 on their website. 

St. Ives Blackhead Clearing Face Wash

This is a great oil-free exfoliant with salicylic in it to help get rid of breakouts. It also is great for clearong blackheads and dirty pores. I wash my face with it every other day and it works great without irritating my skin or drying it out.  

You can buy this at Walmart for $3.82

e.l.f. Cosmetics Acne Fighting Foundation

The e.l.f. acne fighting foundation had great coverage to cover up those annoying blemishes! It is also really helpful in getting rid of stubborn pimples.  There are plenty of shades to choose from and you can even do a “virtual try-on” on e.l.f.’s website.  Many of the shades are also availible in places like Target and Walmart! 

You can purchase this for $6 on their website.

e.l.f Cosmetic’s BB Cream

If you like a lighter makeup look, elf’s bb cream is great! It covers great without feeling or looking too heavy. The bb cream is also non-drying and non-irritating with SPF 20. Not to mention, it is super affordable and comes in a variety of shades!

You can buy this product for $6 on their website. 

Mario Badescu Facial Sprays

The pink rosewater spray is my personal favoite. It works as a great, natural makeup primer to give a fresh dewy look.

The green aloe spray is great to relieve a sunburnt face and also works as a makeup primer.

Finally, the purple lavender spray is great to use after washing your face before bed. The smell of the lavender is so relaxing and makes for a refresing, nights sleep!

All three sprays smell amazing and are great for dry, sensitive skin!

You can buy a trio set for $21 on their website. 

Neutrogena Makeup Wipes

I always had the hardest time finding makeup wipes that actually worked to take of my makeup and didn’t feel like I was taking makeup off with sandpaper.  These Neutrogena makeup wipes (in the blue package) are the best! They smell amazing and work great without irritating my skin.  They also come in super cute travel, singles packs. I can usually find them at any drugstore or at Target, Walmart, etc.  

You can get a 25 pack for $6.49 on their website. 

I hope you find these products useful and fall in love with them as much as I have! Here’s to skincare for sensitive skin!!
