I get breakouts on my back but i also have dry skin on my body does anyone know any good body washes or cleansers that can get rid of my spots? Also any good recs for body lotion/mopisturisers that won't cause me to breakout even more?

I also get the occasional breakout on my face?any good non-drying out products to help with this would be very much appreciated.

Cheers! Smile

You could try body brushing to boost circulation and exfoliate, that would help with the dry skin and maybe a jojoba oil for the face...I'm getting one off an ex handbagger for mini-me, so I'll report later how that works on breakouts. Maybe you could try a good botanical oil mix, that may help. I'd go to waterbaby's thread on HDD
http://www.hairdivision.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3
You can email her and she will recommend a good mix. Leonies thread/sticky in beauty is also good for all natural/homemade stuff...I'm doing my own 'buffy backside slayer' with shea and cocoa butter from her (she also sells organic fairtrade jojoba).
Baically what I'm saying in my longwinded way is that don't use anything that will strip the oils, cause it will just cause more breakouts! Surprised

I love Liz Earle's botanical bodywash - the smell is heaven on earth, VERY addictive! Combined with Liz Earle's Energizing Body Gel it managed to clear nasty, rough and spotty skin off my arms. Have a look atwww.lizearle.com Very Happy

Hi Nat, have you ever watched QVC or logged on to their website. They have lots of beauty hours and some great products. Gatineau do a great kit with a huge bottle of body scrub. It really is great to use and also moisturising, if your skin is dry, it may need a good exfoliate. In the kit comes a large bottle of AHA lotion which is really silky and very hydrating. The kit is expensive if its in stock but you get a lot of good quality product. The best thing is if you dont like it you have a 30 day money back guarantee, send it back. I do all the time now. Follow the link to check it out. These products are available on other UK website but you wont find them cheaper, nor will you be able to return them http://www.qvcuk.com/ukgasp/frameset.asp?dept=ukHB.

For your breakouts their resident beauty expert would recommend Australian Body Care Skinwash. Its tea tree oil so a bit pongy but may help neutralise your skin.

Quick question, do you exfoliate? If not, then that might be the reason for your breakouts perhaps? I'd go for for an AHA body lotion after your shower and see if things improve.
