La Roche-Posay Lipikar Syndet AP+ Body Wash 400ml
An ultra-gentle wash for dry or very dry skin. This comes in several sizes, but the best value buy (which seems to last for ages) is 400ml.
This is unperfumed, and I have recommended it to many friends, including men; they all liked it.
Use this in your bath or shower daily. Then pat the skin dry and apply skin balm all over the body.
La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm AP+M 400ml
A soothing, anti-scratching, anti-dry skin Balm to prevent flare-ups. It is hydrating, soothing and ideal for dry skin.
This skin balm is my saviour. EVERY time I have a skin flare-up, it calms this down. I don’t know what goes into it, except for LRP spring water, but it works wonders with my skin.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser Sensitive Skin 400ml
It’s non-abrasive and doesn’t contain alcohol.
I slightly wet my face with lukewarm water, then apply a thumbnail-sized dab of Toleriane. and gently massage onto the face with fingertips, using an upward motion. Avoid scrubbing: as this can irritate your skin, and pat gently around the eyes – don’t drag – especially down.
