Hi,
I am in some desperate need of help and advice. I am not a professional but often research beauty on this site. I am at my wits end.
I have always had great skin and loved professional results based treatments and skincare ( Environ etc). However, 18 months ago my skin went crazy. It reacts to everything and burns, is itchy, dehydrated, congested and full of bumps. I found out 6 weeks ago it was all caused by gluten and I am now gluten free and on the plus side lost a stone lol. The itching and bumps have gone but I am left with hyper sensitive skin. I just want a basic skincare range to use until it heals. I don't want to use any products with crap in as in parabens etc as they make it worse. I have been using some truly natural skincare which is great but using essential oils daily is causing some problems. I make my own raw honey masks and steam with some essential oils and my skin loves that. However, I can't find a cleanser, toner and moisturiser brand that is 100% natural without essential oils. I have found one cleanser which is natural without essential oils

And this is great, no problems at all. I have also just found an Eve Taylor moisturiser without essential oils.
Is this my best approach until I heal or do any of you wonderful experts know of a range I could try. I have spent so much money even changing all my make up to bareminerals, but just need to sort this as changing products is not helping but I need to wash and moisturise my face.
I do use a babor impurities moisturiser but it's not moisturising enough, but doesn't cause reactions, in fact eases them but not helping with dry skin.
Any help would be welcome
