Steroid Cream On My Face

by Melissa
(Singapore)

Hi,

I suspected that I have used hydrocortisone cream on my face for oiliness and acne. Now I have developed very dry and sensitive skin. I am seeing a doctor now but seems like the progress is slow. Is there a possibility for my skin to return to normal?

Response To Steroid Cream On My Face

Hello Melissa,

I have to be honest with you. Your skin can and "wants" to return to normal, but ONLY IF IT IS GIVEN THE PROPER INGREDIENTS to work with! Without knowing what your doctor has you on, hopefully not anymore steroid creams, I wouldn't be able to give you my opinion. However, I can tell you what I do know about steroids versus using only health building, natural ingredients.

When using prescribed hydrocortisone cream you run the risk of side effects which includes: thinning of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system. My strong recommendation is to use ONLY natural skin care products with organic ingredients for your particular skin treatment that are pure and gentle.

Because new skin is constantly being generated, and because it plays such an important protective role, it makes sense to choose nourishing ingredients. Moisture and lipids from plants like organic calendula, comfrey, chamomile and shea butter are extremely compatible with your skin and contain important nutrients as opposed to petrochemical(petroleum based) ingredients such as mineral oil, paraben preservatives, artificial dyes and fragrances, stabilizers and emulsifiers. Large companies use them because they're cheap or because they allow a product to sit on a shelf for 5+ years. These harmful chemicals are extremely damaging to your skin.

Vitamin-derived antioxidants from plant sourced ingredients not only make the best ingredients for your "inside", but for your "outside" as well. When your skin absorbs a natural moisturizer, created with only healthy ingredients, you're absorbing the nutrients in those ingredients.

Also look for the words that signify a level of purity such as: Fragrance Free, No Dyes, Hypo-Allergenic. You will see a remarkable difference in the reaction and response of your skin as you use only natural skin care products with health promoting and restorative ingredients. We have two products that I highly recommend to you Melissa and they are: our FACE & BODY WASH and our FACE & NECK THERACREAM. Both are highly nutritive and capable of repairing and restoring your skin.

Please keep me posted on your progress Melissa and all the best to you.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
