A few weeks back I entered First Aid Beauty’s Skin Rescue Instagram contest and was lucky enough to win their new collection (eeep!). I received it today and cannot wait to put it to work. If you’re like me and have sensitive skin (I apparently suffer from rosacea), knowing this line can be a life-changer. All of their products are gentle on skin and their Anti-Redness Serum has worked wonders for my skin tone. I’m excited for the Skin Rescue collection in particular because as a result of the rosacea, I’m supposed to avoid products with salicylic acid. This complicates my life a little. On top of sensitivity and redness, I also have combination skin. I have never suffered from acne but I do have oily patches that don’t cooperate from time to time. But salicylic acid is harsh and even though I have my redness in check, it could easily worsen. I’m not willing to take any risks of this sort. So I’m hoping, with fingers crossed (and FAB hasn’t let me down yet) that this collection, even with its oil-control and anti-blemish properties, will be gentle enough for my crazy face. The Blemish Patrol pads do have salicylic acid, but the formula is for sensitive skin, so I’m putting my faith in these and have a very good feeling about it. I’ll be sharing a review with you very soon.
