I’ve reviewed the Toleriane riche cream for dry skin previously and thought I’d add a review for the Toleriane lotion for normal-combinaiton skins that I have been using as well. I always use either of these toleriane creams in conjunction with the Cicaplast healing gel whenever I have an eczema break out because they never, ever cause even the slightest bit of irritation for me and the Cicalplast is almost as good as steroid creams at healing eczema. Basically my review for the riche version holds here, except I use the Toleriane riche cream when my skin is extra dry and the lotion for combination skin when it is on the oily side.

While reviewing this antibacterial and oil balancing gel by Ayurda I thought I’d take the opportunity to also post a bit of interesting information about it’s primary ingredient as it has a long and colourful history.

It would work well for combination skin types (AKA normal skin) as it has nice oil control around the t-zone as well as being moisturizing enough for dryer areas on the face. It doesn’t have a strong smell which is nice, but unfortunately doesn’t come with …

This is by far the best exfoliant I have found for dry sensitive skin! It’s very gentle, in fact so gentle you could use it more than once a week. I use it every three days or so when my skin is not having an eczema flare up. I do believe that using this has conditioned my skin into having less flare ups. Not only does it nourish the skin with the ground up almonds and other oils it contains, it also sloughs off dead skin cells that can contribute to itchiness. To use angels on bare skin take a small lump in your hands, about 2 cm in diameter. On wet skin you can then massage it in. Alternatively …
