I love my skin...now.

I like to think of myself as a quick study. Usually I am. Occasionally, not so much.

About a year ago, I went to a spa with some of my sister's-in-law for a facial. The esthetian asked me about my skin, what kinds of products I use, if I had any special issues about my skin. I told her everything I could think of, including the fact that my skin tone is uneven and that makes buying makeup hard. I could find quite the right match.

She told me that I should be using products for sensitive skin, that my skin is quite sensitive. I never would have guessed. I don't break out much, never did. Anyway, after I left the spa that day I didn't give what she said another thought. I don't know why, I just didn't.

Until the day a few weeks later when I was at my local CVS store, looking to replace my moisturizer. That's when I saw it.

Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer. And right there on the label it said "Clinically proven to: visibly reduce redness soothe irritated or sensitive skin."

Needless to say, I took that little bottle home with me. And I've never let myself run out. It works beautifully. So well in fact that I now use the Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser and the Aveeno Ultra-Calming Night Cream. My skin has never looked better.

I'm sure there are other products out there that do the same thing, but for the money (less than $8 for the Daily Moisturizer) I'm of the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' mind.

Like other products for sensitive skin, there are no perfumes so it doesn't have a really girly scent, but, hey, my skin loves it.
