Moisturiser making face itch, why?

[waxcetera]

I'm a nail tech, that has only recently started taking care of my skin

A tutor came into my childrens school recently, and one of our lessons was on skin care. She advised me that I had sensitive skin with a tendency towards dry, particularly around my jaw line and nose.

So.... I went out and bought cleanser, toner and moisturiser (all alien to me) only ever used baby wipes before.

But...... once I've cleansed, toned and moisturised, my face itches like crazy, feels like hot needles in places. Is it the product...? I'm using L'Oreal Triple Active for dry/sensitive skin.

She did mention doing a face pack/mask once a week, but I couldn't find one for sensitive skin.

I use a tinted moisturiser (superdrug illuminating moisture cream) before I put my make up on (another right laugh, cos I'm nearly blind in one eye, I do one eye ok, but the other looks like my 6yr old did it lmao), but when I've finished my make up, I have dry bits of skin, still visible around my nose.........

help anyone? I really want to keep on top of this now I've started,
thanks x

Hi,
It sounds like you have a sensitivity to the product or an ingredient in the product you are using. I too have extremely sensitive skin and its been trial and error in finding a product to suit. You may have to just keep trying different products - sorry I can't help more x

As for the dry patches around your nose, you should gently exfoliate this area once a week and moisturise daily (when you find a product that suits). This should hopefully help.
