Sensitive Skin Saviour: First Aid Beauty Essentials Kit.

First Aid Beauty Essentials Kit $19.95 available from David Jones stores Australia wide and www.adorebeauty.com.au  & www.feelunique.com

Get ready for one of the sexiest posts ever on Beauté Gazette, it contains a lot of skin....A  lot of blistered rashie skin after I suffered from a severe allergic reaction to something I ate. 

After suffering from said allergic reaction I was very weary of returning to my regular routine of products, needing a more gentle alternative till my skin was completely healed. The First Aid Beauty Essentials kit was stashed away in a box of travel sized products I keep in case I ever go on a holiday (never), I reached for them because the overwhelming amount of reviews online saying they were great for sensitive skin. 

The Gentle Body Wash and Moisturizer are so soothing on red sore inflamed itchy skin, it didn't by an means heal the rash but it felt calming when applied and didn't sting at all. Within 2 days I had gone through both mini-sized bottles (56.7gms) and had purchased both in full size, the Gentle Body Moisturizer $26.99 /226.8gm and the Gentle Body Wash $20.00/226.8gm from Feel Unique. 

Terrified to wash my face scared of stinging and overly irritating and extremely rashie parts, (told you this was going to be sexy) the Face Cleanser and Daily Face Moisturizer didn't sting at all. They both felt very non irritating and my skin wasn't stressed out after application.

My rash is slowly starting to fade with the help of some strong ass antihistamines and steroid medication, if you are prone to skin problems like this or psoriasis then First Aid Beauty is definitely a must try.
So in the spirit of being a very over sharing beauty blogger here are some photos documenting #rashgate2014:

I am not sure what caused this extreme allergic reaction but it was awful and I didn't leave the house for 3 days so as to not scare children with my blistering rash. #nofilter

Allergic Reaction Survival Kit... DO NOT FREAK OUT!

Waking up with a sore swollen face with a texture rougher than sand paper, my eyes red filled with gunk and not to mention wanting to itch and scratch my face off - was not pleasant. I'm not sure what exactly caused the allergic reaction which started on Saturday morning but it was the type of reaction that is typical when your skin freaks out from a topical product. Meaning it was one of bazillion products I apply to my face or hair on a daily basis, sometimes you can have an allergic reaction from a product which doesn't normally effect you because your hormones are a little askew that day too.

So what next? This is my Survival Guide to having an Allergic reaction:

1. See your doctor! I was told to take Claritine for 5 days to alleviate itching and swelling.

2. Stop using any skin care which is high in fragrance and exfoliants. Stick to gentle products which nurse your skin back to health wont sting and irritate your poor face even more. Uriage Toléderm products are so soothing and feel like heaven on itchy skin.
Uriage Hydra Soothing Creme $39.95 & Uriage Toléderm Cleansing Water $29.95 available from www.adorebeauty.com 

3. Eye creams and Lip balms really irritate me when my skin is freaking out trusty Lucas Paw Paw Ointment saves my skin and the day again! Dry sand paper skin is the worst, especially around your eyes. Before bed I have been lathering on Paw Paw Ointment all over my eyes and lips, sounds gross but trust me it works and in the morning they are far less itchy and red.

4. If you are feeling really dry and crusty try massaging some Avocado oil into your face, it is very mellow and the heat from your fingers will help melt the oil into your sore skin.

5. No MAKEUP! You read that correctly.....Yes learn to love your bare naked face, it should clear within 7 days so save up all your fanciest Tom Ford products and go crazy when your face has cleared up.
