  • I have very dry sensitive skin and have to be very careful about the products I use. There's nothing wrong with using childrens products, as long as you don't use baby shampoo as it's the same ph as the eyes rather than the scalp and will make it dryer and itchy. Products by Simple are good for those of us with dry skin, I also use some products from the Doctor Organic range as things like body lotions absorb easily. I also use Body Shop Hemp Body Butter and handcream as they really do help my skin, the handcream is excelent, I can come in from a day in the garden with hand like sandpaper and some of that and they're like new again.

    As well as staying hydrated, making sure you have the right balance of oils in your diet can help too, it's all the usual things help, oily fish, wholemeal bread for the wheatgerm oil, avocados, olive oil or if you prefer a balanced supplement like Udo's oil.
