College products messing with my skin

[Rainbow82]

Hi guys,

Ive recently started a 2 year course in beauty therapy at college. I'm really enjoying it, the only concern I have is that the products that are used are bringing my skin out in sore red boils and spots.

I have used Decleor products on my skin for about 10 years. I have thought about taking my products in with me, but dont really want to.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

dont use them then hun!

I was allergic to them too and dermologica. I took my own skin care in and they were ok with that!

i find a lot of colleges dont follow procedure with keeping cleansers etc germ free so talk to your tutor and see if you will be alowed to either use a different product or bring in your own.

Hi Rainbow, I have just started a beauty course aswell and most of the ladies on my course have had breakouts since we started. Our tutor says its due to having 2 facials a week, it draws out all the crap from your skin...aparently your skin gets worse before it gets better. She isnt concerned as they are not having allergic reactions during the facials, no stinging, redness, soreness etc etc just lotsa spots popping up.

I would ask your tutor what she thinks.
Good luck with your course, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do

I had the same problem last year with spots after using Dermalogica at college.
Have had breakouts again this year since doing facials but have started using Dermalogica at home in the morning to see if my skin can get used to it, although I still prefer using Liz Earle.

Hey ladies,

Cheers for advice, I will have a chat to my tutor, just didnt want to lug more stuff in with me lol.

I love Liz Earle to. If only colleges had more dosh to get really good stuff lol.

Thanks again.

During our level 2 I think most of us took our own skin care instead of using the colleges and our tutors said they didn't blame us!!! :lol:

I guess it all depend which bothers you more, carrying more stuff or having bad skin.:|

Your not using skin truth by any chance are you? I take my own products in, its either that or break out in painfull spots.So maybe you may have to.Get some small little pots and just put a little bit in there so your class dont ask you to use it all xxx

Hey,

Yes it is Skintruth, I didnt think they would be a problem as I use and love there pedi range for my reflexology clients and occasionally on my own.

Think I will try and get small travel sizes, as I so didnt want all my class asking for a loan of my products. (bit mean but im on a budget lol).

Thanks again Geeks!

We used that at my college too and for the 3 years I used it my skin was crap, once I finished and did'nt use it anymore my skin went back to normal.

We used Dermalogica on the clients and I have used that since and love it.
