Thanked: 11Sensative skin soap suggestions please ?
First up sorry this is going to be a long post
The short version :
Does anyone have any suggestions for some hard soaps that are really kind on the face ?
The background :
I'm not someone who has lots of soaps ie I usually have just one. My last 3 pucks have been a GFT Sandlewood followed by Coconut. These have lasted me over 3 years so far, prior to that I had a puck of Williams soap and prior to that I was using a Sensor excel and canned goo.
Now I've got a patch of skin under my lower lip at the left corner of my mouth about the size of a penny which gets red, scaley (sp?) and is more prone to blackheads and spots the docs say it is some kind of dermatitis or eczema and it is reduced slightly by hydrocortizone cream. Interestingly I believe that this patch of skin started playing up about the time I switched from the canned goo and Sensor excel.
Recently I thought I'd try making some Uberlather so got some cream, some GFT "GFT" (can you tell I like GFT yet). This cream is highly scented and I thought my face might react badly but it didn't, and for the last week I've actually just been using the cream as an experiment. The result is my red patch appears to be less red and scaley, this is a good thing - trouble is I prefer my triple milled soap that lasts an age, I don't think this cream would last more than a month.
