Sensitive Cleanser Does Dove sensitive skin cleanser and lotion work?
Does it work well?Does it give pimples bc of the oil in it?Is it good for sensitive skin?:)
Thanks alot!
If it contains any of these ingredients, don't use it:
* Mineral Oil, Paraffin & Petrolatum – Petroleum products coat the skin like plastic, clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins, which in turn accumulate and can lead to dermatological issues, like slowing cellular development, which can cause you to show earlier signs of aging, and vitamin deficiency. Suspected cause of cancer & disruptive of hormonal activity. Mineral oils contain hydrocarbons, a real danger to the stomach and especially the lungs.
* PARABENS – Such as methyl- propyl- butyl- & ethyl- parabens: Widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic industry (including moisturizers). An estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products contain parabens. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities – mimicking estrogen – and interfere with the body’s endocrine system.
* Propylene Glycol – Used as a moisturizer in cosmetics and as a carrier in fragrance oils. Shown to cause dermatitis, kidney or liver abnormalities, may inhibit skin cell growth, and is a skin irritant and sensitizer.
* ALCOHOLS – Such as Isopropyl Alcohol, SD Alcohol 40, Ethyl Alcohol: Alcohols dissolve the body’s natural moisturizers and strip the skin of its protection, leaving it vulnerable to infection. Alcohols destroy skin’s pH balance, and since they absorb water, they speed up wrinkling.
* Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) – Found in car washes, engine degreasers, garage floor cleaners… and in OVER 90% of personal care products! SLS breaks down the skin’s moisture barrier, easily penetrates the skin, and allows other chemicals to easily penetrate. Combined with other chemicals, SLS becomes a “nitrosamine”, a potent class of carcinogen. It can also cause hair loss. SLES is sometimes disguised with the labeling “comes from coconut” or “coconut-derived" - and is found in many popular body washes and toothpastes!
* Toluene – Poison! Danger! Harmful or fatal if swallowed! Harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Made from petroleum or coal tar, and found in most synthetic fragrances. Chronic exposure linked to anemia, lowered blood cell count, liver or kidney damage, and may affect a developing fetus. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) contains toluene. Other names may include benzoic and benzyl.
* WAXES – Such as Paraffin, Candelilla Wax, Carnuba Wax: Waxes are widely used in cleansing creams, eye creams, and moisturizers. Waxes clog pores, creating blackheads and whiteheads. They also smother the skin, which over time creates an enlarged pore problem.
* FD&C – When this abbreviation precedes the name of a color, it means that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has certified it as safe for use in drugs and cosmetics, but not food. D&C colors are usually synthetic, coal tar colors. They’re toxic and should be avoided when at all possible.
* PHTHALATES – These chemicals rarely find their way onto an ingredients list, but they are present in many health and beauty products just the same. Wherever you see “perfume” or “fragrance,” phthalates are present, because they are used to preserve these synthetic scents. Recent studies have shown that phthalates may be mutagenic, carcinogenic, and adversely affect male sperm, that they increase levels of testosterone and estrogen in humans, and are central to breast cancer risk. They are an ingredient in nail polish and other lacquers, and in soft plastics (e.g., infant chew toys).
* Lanolin – A yellow, semi-solid, fatty secretion from sheep’s wool is widely used in skin and beauty care products. It can cause an allergic reaction in some people, as well as enlarged pores.
* Acetone – Used in nail polish and nail polish removers, this colorless, volatile liquid is often used in astringents, fresheners, or clarifying lotions. It is extremely toxic and will dehydrate the skin, while speeding up the aging process.
* Acrylamide – Found in many hand and face creams. Linked to mammary tumors in lab research.
* Phenol carbolic acid – Found in many lotions and skin creams. Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma and even death from respiratory failure.
* Dioxane – Found in compounds known as PEG, Polysorbates, Laureth, ethoxylated alcohols. Common in a wide range of personal care products. The compounds are usually contaminated with high concentrations of highly volatile 1,4-dioxane, easily absorbed through the skin. Dioxane’s carcinogenicity was first reported in 1965 and later confirmed in studies including one from the National Cancer Institute in 1978. Nasal passages and liver are the most vulnerable. Dioxane is easily removed during the manufacturing process by “vacuum stripping”. Warning: It is a synthetic derivative of coconut. Watch for hidden language on labels, such as “comes from coconut”.
IF SO, you should throw them away IMMEDIATELY and Tell ALL your friends and family!!! (Extra-virgin olive and/or coconut oils are great alternative moisturizers, and they contain natural sunscreens, until you find something else without these toxins) Hope this helps!!! Good Luck!!!!!

A Hypoallergenic Facial Cleanser Will Help Those With Sensitive Skin
Generally, someone who has a sensitivity to the cleansers that are used on their skin should use a hypoallergenic facial cleanser to ensure that they do not suffer from the ill effects of products that are full of ingredients that could cause harm. Fragrances and coloring agents can cause some problems for those who have demonstrated a sensitivity to these ingredients.
It is natural to want to use a product that smells great. However, you will be better off if you use your favorite fragrance separately from your skincare products. When you use a cologne or perfume, you are only using it in one small area of your skin where it will not cause much damage to your skin. When a fragrance is used in a skincare product, you are washing those chemicals all over some of the most sensitive areas of your skin. It is important that you use products that do not contain these ingredients and keep the chemicals off of your skin.
When you begin to do some investigation of hypoallergenic facial cleanser products, you will discover that there are many chemicals and ingredients that are typically used in the brand name products that are not really necessary. Many of these ingredients are there to provide a scent, color or texture to the product that you just don't need. Other times the ingredients are there to provide a preservative to the other ingredients in the product. When you are looking for a hypoallergenic facial cleanser, make sure that these harmful chemicals are eliminated.
The chemicals may not harm a majority of people, but for those who are looking for the best facial cleansers, they are best left out of the ingredients list. Over time you may develop a sensitivity to these ingredients and you will suffer from rashes and a number of other unpleasant results.
There are a number of natural skincare products available that will keep your skin safe from these ingredients. Do your research on the products that will provide the results that you want without the harmful ingredients. You can also look for recipes and tips online that will help you to create your own products if you are concerned about the ingredients that are used in your skincare products. If you have the time to do it, this is a good way to ensure what you are putting on your face. One of the best websites that you can visit for information on skincare products is the X-Tend Life website. They offer a great deal of information on how chemicals are used in the biggest name brand products and how it can affect your skin. It is an informative website as well as a great place to find some of the best hypoallergenic facial cleanser available on the market.
A hypoallergenic facial cleanser will thoroughly clean your skin without overly drying out your skin. It should be gentle enough to provide cleansing without stripping away all of the natural oils that are in your skin. Moisture is one of the most important parts of keeping your skin in good condition. Make sure that you follow up your skin cleansing with a good quality moisturizer at all times. You should have a different product for your daily wear and a heavier moisturizer that you use at night. For those who have sensitive skin, it is very important that you find the right skin cleansers and products to keep your skin in good condition and looking great all of the time.
