Ok, I am a little confused with your Nivea lotion. Did my research and Nivea doesn't carry a 2 in 1 moisturizing / cleansing lotion. They do however carry a 2 in 1 cleansing milk and toner.

Unless you mean you use both the Nivea moisturizer and their cleanser seperately?

Or you're using a cleansing lotion that is moisturizing from Nivea? (For example, body washes fall into this catagory).

I am confused because you have the words cleansing and moisturizing in your Moisturizing step. Cleansing and moisturizing are two totally different things.

Here's Nivea's Product link. And let us know what products of theirs you use.

Also, I didn't ask this earlier, I should have (my bad)... How did you determine that you have dry sensitive skin?

After you moisturize, apply a seperate sunscreen with an SPF 15 no higher. Like I wrote earlier, start this step much later in your regimen, like in 7 -10 days. I am basing this on two things. 1) You claim to have dry sensitive skin. 2) Your skin is breaking out.

For right now, I recommend just wearing a hat. Also forget about exfoliating right now... Let's just take this nice and slow. At least until you/we know what skin type you actually are, and even then, your skin needs to balance itself.

Lip balms are always good, I see you like the Lypsyl brand, cool.

ok.

The cleansing wipes are nivea visage but the moisturizer isn't - it says lotion - this is what it says on the bottle

"nivea lotion

Non-greasy for normal skin

light moisturizing and cleansing lotion"
Also I can't find the product on the website that I have.

My grandmother told me I had dry skin and sometimes it has little white bits on it. When I got spots it was just some round my mouth but nowhere else.

They are going now but I haven't been sticking to a stict rountine, but I have used the nivea lotion moisturizer in the morning and in the evening used the wipes. (but they've run out now :S)

Thanks for all this help you have been giving me recently btw. I really appreaciate it.

Ah yes... We all love our grandmothers and bless their hearts, they only want the best for us. Her diagnosis could be wrong however...

At any rate, "little white bits" could mean flaky skin = dry. Where are the little white bits on your face?

Advice is only good with all the correct information, and I don't want to give any incorrect suggestions or recommendations that could potentially make a condition worse.

So I suggest booking an appointment with a skin care consultant or make-up artist at a department store to exactly determine your skin type. Here's what you do. Book an appointment at lets say Lancome, Clinique, Vichy, Bio Therm, etc. Go to counters where they specalize in skin care.

Book the appointments with each counter a day apart from each other and at different times of the day. Go with a clean face, no produts on. Be very truthful in telling them what your routine is. This way you'll get an acurate and broad overview of each perspective. They will fill out a client card, keep one copy for yourself and they will give you samples to try.

They will try and sell you products... After all they're sales people , Tell them you get paid next week, plus your credit card is maxed out. Don't tell them you can't afford it. (Obviously don't buy anything).

Don't try the samples they give you, just keep them for later. When you're done with the consulting, let us know the results. The majority of their consensus is what your skin type will be. My experience with all these lines, is that they should all tell you the same thing.

And oh one more thing... Tell them your immediate concern is skin care and that you're not interested in make-up. This way they won't cross-sell you any make-up when they do a skin care consult. And MOST importantly... DON'T tell them you're going from counter to counter.

OR... You can book an appointment with a dermatologist. The advantage of this method, is that they won't try and sell you anything.

Good luck with your homework assignment, approach this as being fun.

No the majority of the counters do this for free, one of the better counters is Clinque.

Sounds like Eczema... Consult your doctor to be sure.

I know you ask lots of good questions, so I am giving you a link to know what eczema is. Remember, no one knows that you have it, I am just going based on your discription, and even then I am just giving you a "ball park" educated guess.

Here's the link: Eczema
