I'm looking for a beauty treatment for my skin when its acting up on me. Seems like when that monthly visitor arrives it gets really out of sorts, pimples breaking out in my t-zone, dry sensitive cheeks. I can't find anything to help with the zits, everything I use drys my skin too much! Sad

I was hoping someone here could recomend a good moisturizing calming mask treatment. I used to use one called clinique skin calming moisture mask and it worked well for me, unfortunately clinique doesn't make this anymore! Confused

Any ideas ladies?? Thanks! Donna Very Happy

Hi Donna,
I find that I have to take care of my skin throughout the month to avoid havoc during the period that Aunt Flo stays in town.

Every two weeks I wage a multi-faceted mask attack on my skin. I exfoliate, purify, and moisturize the heck out of it until succumbs to a clean, smooth, soft, beautiful finish. Double entendres aside, I use a particle-free exfoliant because my thin skin is sensitive to abrasion, then a purifying and toning clay mask to get gunk out and close up pores, followed by a moisturizing mask to soothe the new skin revealed. Decleor's hydra floral mask is lovely.

The whole process takes a while, but is very calming to the mind and skin.

I pretty much pre-empt and do what k.a.t. does. I found MD Formulations Clearing Complex Masque and LUSH Cupcake mask good for that. They are not moisturising though, I just use another moisturing mask afterwards.

Hi there!

If you don't mind getting a wee bit messy, you can try making your own mask by mixing some dry, uncooked oatmeal with a bit of milk and honey until it forms a paste. Sounds crazy, but it works wonders on my acneic skin!

I also love Dead Sea Mud -- it's not moisturizing, but it works GREAT for clearing up your skin around that time of the month!

HTH! Smile
