I am in my 40s .I have dry skin and wheatish complextion.I would like you to suggest me a skin care routine in the Body shop products line. I have sensitive skin and get easily tanned when I go out in the sun.There are sooo many products in the body shop line. I am confused as to what to use as my daily routine…

hi
even though u have mentioned u wanna know about the bodyshop line…i suggest u use the elizabeth arden intervene or the ceramide line…those are so good and dont break out your skin…natrulift is a bit oily on the face from bodyshop….nutriganics is a good line…i would suggest nutriganics and wise woman from bodyshop…intervene and ceramide range from elizabeth arden…hope this helps :shy:

Hi Madhumita,
If you have dry sensitive skin, you could Cleanse with Boscia cleansing cream, Tone with green tea facial mist(just brewed green tea in a spray bottle that you can store in the fridge, it reeeeeeally helps with pigmentation spots and its very gentle) and Moisturize with St.Ives collagen and elastin moisturizer. If you like you could massage your face everyday with a li’l bit of home made yogurt, my mom swears by it. Hope this helps! :specs:

Am 43..& when I read all you 20 plus gals’ Beauty Regimen..I feel like doob-maro-in-chullu-bhar-paani.. :haanji: But this lazy bum has started taking care of her skin lately. And alongwith irregular ( :chewnails: ) use of readymade antiaging stuff I have developed my own recipe of Homemade mask & seems it is working for me. Have mixed Oatmeal flour + Besan + Turmeric + Saffron + Flaxseeds Powder + Muscovado Sugar & stored it. Whenever feel like pampering myself I mix it with curd or raw milk or honey or Vit – C solution or Multivitamin solution…Would come to know @ its other benefits in long run..but it surely leaves my skin baby soft & supple after washing it.. :teddy:

me in my 40′s too..but i have more enthu and stamina now than i have ever had.. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: i dont have dry skin but for sensitive skin the iconic clay mask is very good. I have combination skin but prone to acne when the wrong products are used. just FYI- the Olay cleanser/moistirizer works great..
