What would be a good skin care regime for combination skin?

by Sandra Rodriguez
(Inman, South Carolina)

I am 52 years old and have mild acne. My friend told me to try Proactiv. She told me the products would be good for my mild acne & blackheads. I said okay I would try it. Oh my goodness! The products are very harsh. I try Proactiv for 8 days and the products let my face red, tight, burning & very itchy! I call customer service and told them what the Proactiv products did to me. I ask what can I do for my itchy face...she couldn't tell me. They are not skin care specialist....all they wanted to do was try to sell me a more mild version of the products. I said no. I will never try their products again. So....now I am looking for a good skin care regime for my combination (obviously senstive) skin. There is so much stuff out there. How would I know what is good for me. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Sandra


Hi Sandra,
I'm sorry to hear that you had such a violent reaction to this product. I have heard only positive results for Pro-Active, however I feel that it is really designed for heavily acne skin or younger skin that is not as sensitive.

If you say mild acne, can it be that you have congested skin with occasional breakouts and your overall skin type is a combination skin with sensitivity?

It is probably a good idea to start from scratch, stop using a whole lot of products to try to mask skin conditions and really try to let your skin heal and balance itself.

Try using Dr. Hauschka skincare. Their appoach is holistic skincare to let the skin find it's natural balance.

For a start I recommend to use the
Dr. Hauschka Rhythmic Night Conditioner ( All Skin ) 30 Ampoules
for night times for 28 days. This will help to balance the skin's oil/water household and decrease sensitivity.
For daytime you can use the
Dr. Hauschka Quince Day Cream ( For Normal Dry & Sensitive Skin ) 30g/1oz
. It is suitable for sensitive skin and helps to hydrate and protect the skin at the same time.

After the 28 days you can than move on to the Regenerating Day Cream and/or night treatment for anti aging.
