Sensitive skin

I have really senstive skin, though it's not as bad as when I was little (apparently, I was allergic to most sorts of washing powder so decided to wear as few clothes as possible. There are so many embarrassing photos...). I get ezcema sometimes and my skin is so incredibly pale that I burn really really easily. Got some really good suncream though - developed for use in the Australian outback and it sort of fuses to your skin and is waterproof and stuff. Very useful when out on my beastie.

Sensitive skin.....gr....the cause of so many of my problems !

does anyone else have awesomely sensitive skin, or know people who have? what problems does it cause you? what've you done about it?

poor you i started getting eczema again when I'm really stressed; which is weird cos I hadn't had it since I was 6 til recently!

The whole thing is really starting to get to me though- it's making me scarily paranoid and I am beginning to obsess over it in the way that I used to obsess over my weight... It's stopping me from going out and making me insecure, giving me an inferiority complex.

That sucks. Eczema sucks. You're all itchy and scratchy and generally bleurgh. I had a similar sort of thing - it went away for a while from dsort of 8-16ish and then came back, mainly on my elbows and knees and stuff. But good ol' E45 seems to keep me all soft and smooth(ish)

E45 gives me a rash - grrr. I have mad sensitive skin. But I got a good moisturiser from my doctor, which I love to bits, because my skin is super dry. I get eczema too, but then I got some fancy stuff from the doctor which worked so well it was almost magical, and it smelled like coconut as a bonus. But they don't know the long term effects of it because it's new and fancy, so I might die shortly as a result.
