I am in need to purchase products for my skin care routine. Lately my skin has even very sensitive. My skin is dry and especially on my nose it never feels clean enough. So I need so products reccomendation for dry skin. I am running out of all my skin care products and I need something new. I don't have any holy grail products.

I've been using
Neutregena pink grape fruit acne cleanser
Neutrogena pink grape fruit wipes
Garnier skin renewal moisture gel
MAC Fix +
Organic sugar mixed with cleaners for exfoliation

Please reccomend drugstore and high end. I am willing to invest in my skin care but I would like drugstore alternatives too.

I have dry extremely sensitive skin and my favorite is the seaweed line from the body shop. It makes my skin feel so smooth and moisturized while also keeping acne away. :)

If your skin is dry and sensitive, you may be irritating it more by using all of those acne products. I would try something more gentle like Cetaphil or CeraVe, then spot treat. I'm not an aesthetician, tho. :)

I use the cerave hydrating cleanser, and sugar to exfoliate, and I use Cetaphil moisturizer in the tub along with jojoba oil to moisturize. my skim has become very sensitive lately and it is very dry and these help keep it looking nice under my makeup. I also use a clarasonic at night to remove all my makeup. I also have acne prob skin and I'll use tea tree oil to spot treat along with some stronger masks to help keep away breakouts.this has been my routine for a while and it seems to be helping a lot!

Where can you purchase jojoba oil? I have seen shaaanxo use it. But I have no clue where to buy it

I would try maybe a whole foods store or somewhere that sells more natural things, I get mine at a small store right down my street so I'm not too sure where else it's available. but you could also order it online!

You really shouldn't be using those grapefruit products. those are meant for oily, acne prone skin and will dry out your skin.

If you're willing to invest in your skincare, I would make sure that you're not using anything that's going to strip or age your skin. Dry skin needs more moisture via water. I would honestly not recommend anything that you're currently using, especially if your skin type is dry. I would recommend researching the oil cleansing method, there's plenty of blog posts about it (and if you need more info from me, you can message me). I personally have combination/normal skin and I use a completely natural routine that I've tailored for my skin (scary and annoying sounding but it's actually fun and it's way better than slathering chemicals on your already sensitive skin). I use the oil cleansing method (one part castor oil/one part sweet almond oil), then spray on aloe water, follow that will rosehip oil as a serum, and after that my moisturizer. Long story short, if you're going to try to use high end or drugstore, check the ingredients; anything with sulfates, phthalates, parabens, and silicones are not good for your skin and will actually age your skin. All these things can show up in drugstore and even high end. Just research or ask for more info if you want!

You can always use an avocado face mask , or honey. It helps bring moisture back into your skin.

Well I don't really have drugstore alternative but there was one brand that did amazing for me and it's the salma hayek makeup line her walnut scrub and her makeup remover which has built in rosewater in it and removes waterproof makeup

for a more investment the fresh seaberry oil is amazing it's not the greasy feel as the skin absorbs it also in time of usage the skin looks very fresh younger cleaner and the broken vocabularies have dissapear lightly of my face now it's pricey about 50 dollars but worth it they also have a small version I can't remember the price salma hayek nuance skincare is amazing

As far as my cleanser goes I have decided to get Cetaphil Gentle Daily Cleanser, Moisturizer I am thinking Cetaphil for now, because I know its availible easily to me, I have a walmart almost right across the street from me. Should I go with the tub or a more daily use one, I do worry about using something too thick in fear it will be too much for my skin.

I found that the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream works wonders for dry skin and is great for sensitive skin as well. I have a whole skincare routine video filled with products geared towards dry skin, if you wanted more recommendations... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5n0K_UCgTY.

Morning: Proactiv exfoliating Cleanser, Murad Essential C day moisturizer.
Night: Murad calming gel cleanser (with Clairsonic some days), spritz with Fix +, Murad Night perfecting cream. My skin is pretty darn moisturized (no dry spots lately) and I live in dry AZ!! I highly recommend Murad; it is great for sensitive skin--it has never broken me out and delivers a lot of moisture. It's rather expensive, I find my daily moisture on eBay for half the price but it's worth it to me. it's really great for sensitive skin.

Tried Cerave AM moisturizer with SPF...broke me out. My skin did not like it.

I know this is a lot of momey to spend on something but it is definitely something to keep in mind when a holiday rolls around. I would suggest you invest in the Clarisonic face scruber brush. I got one for Christmas last year and ever since using it my face has improved so much. I don't have dry/oily patches on certain areas, more huge pores shurnk to tiny little things, it has really helped my acne go away and I hardley have really any black heads anymore and it makes my face feel so clean but not tight when I use it. I have both the Plus which has multiple speeds and both the face and body brush head and also the original Mia which I use when I travel and that only has one speed. Definitely atleast look into one.
