Thread: I hate my skin!!!

I went to the store the other day and bought a small bottle of Polo Black. You can tell it's related to Polo Blue but the blue is more "aquatic". Anyway, I sprayed it on my left hand so I could smell it. I liked it so I bought it and sprayed some behind my ears and drove home. While I was driving my left hand started to burn, I looked at it and it was red where I sprayed it. I then developed a headache and when I looked in the mirror my cheeks where red! If I had any doubts left about having sensitive skin, they were silenced that day. Anyway, I know what my Brother-in-law is getting for x-mas

That stinks!

I am that way with sandalwood

That's hilarious.

Could it not be some additive in it that cause the irritation?

Maybe but I think my skin can't take strong scents. I can only use certain shaving creams and soaps

I think in your case samples might be a really good thing.

Wow! I thought I had challenges finding products I like...

Counting my blessings!

Just a heads up. Lavender can be a skin irritant so maybe an idea to avoid it with sensitive skin.
