Skin Problems

Ugh does anyone else have uber sensitive skin like me?  It's not even funny how sensitive my face is, I swear, without exaggeration, I am fighting with my skin on a DAILY basis.  I am honestly baffled as to how I am not full of wrinkles etc. because I can't really use many products on my skin.

Here's the latest issue, as a result of having my eyebrows waxed.


Yes, I get red and stay red and then little, sore and itchy bumps appear.  They will likely stay at least all weekend.  It doesn't seem to matter what they do at the salon, it always ends up this way.  I was getting them threaded for awhile but that's not an option any more.  I might give up on the brows, this just sucks!


Here's a pretty goofy un-retouched photo so we can go over my issues and maybe you can help.  I have some redness that comes and goes on my cheeks.  I've tried almost everything and can't get rid of it.  Sometimes I break out in itchy bumps, not as bad as the waxing bumps, but close!

Also, I am a little puffy under the eyes sometimes.  I guess that's lack of sleep?  What about the darkness there?  Does anything help?

Easier to just throw a "glamour glow" on the whole thing and not worry about it!

I for one can relate because I have problems with facial hair. I have tried everything and the facial hair just comes back. As far as the red skin I put baby powder on the area I am about to wax or tape. The facial hair gets pulled out but not your skin. Granted the area my be red for an hour or two but not for days. How embarrassing?

Have you used the hair removing system GoGo? I am thinking of trying GoGo

My cheeks are always red too, it's just mild rosacea and other than laser, you can't do much about it. You just totally reminded me to get my brows waxed, thanks!

I'm not sure I think the GoGo is any better than anything else!

Liz, I think you're right with the rosacea thing, it takes very little for me to turn red. Heat, cold, wind...nothing at all!
