I'm used to allergies, I got my first allergy test when I was like 6, but I'm basically allergic to outside and as I've gotten older it's gotten worse. Now I have cross-protein and cross-pollen reactions too, so I can be allergic to things I'm not actually allergic to on top of all the other stuff I have to avoid.Among the generally common ingredients in skin and hair products that I can't use or ingest are:-grapes-bananas-chamomile-blueberries-peaches-oranges-anything even related to an aster-anything even related to amaranth and tarragon-onion-anything derived from hemp-anything close to hops-basically any tree (palms and willows are debatably safe, frankincense and myrrh are not)-basically any grass or weed-anything even close to mint (up to and potentially including lavender)-a good chunk of the carnation family-aloe. literally just aloe, I can't use the soothing cactus juice because it gives me hives-anything that comes from a plant that could be classified into a family of plants known as soapberries (lychee pending, I've only had it in mochi)-we can lump all the heathers in with the trees, they hang around oak too much-olives-mango-chickweed-and jasmineThat's what I've found since my most recent allergy test a little over a month ago. And all this started because I have a latex allergy and I made an off-handed comment about how I must've been eating my bananas too quickly because the pieces were always really hard to swallow. Had no idea that was anaphylaxis. And my current body wash probably has something in it making my skin all bumpy because I've had them since high school, but everything else I've tried has made it even worse. At this point I'll try almost anything.

@missjeanie, first, I have to say that I read "I try to keep with above a 40" as you trying to keep to 40 sunblocks on hand 😲 and I thought "huuuuh, that's one way to keep yourself protected from UV rays." 😂🤣😂 Not that I'm judging; I'm all for SPF, and to be fair, I haven't counted how many sunscreens I have in the house. 😆 Oh, I think @heartsmyface is a fan of that Skin Aqua SPF line. I have one, I think, maybe two. At one point, I was trying to pick up all the shades to try them out and compare them. Maybe I need to get back on that and see which tint(s) I'm missing ...

@makeitup305 thanks for the info!

@mehakvirk what Glow Recipe serum are you using? It might be causing a reaction that is darkening the product on your skin, I'm not sure. Try alternating nights when using the serums or using the Vitamin C in the morning before moisturizer and sunscreen and the other serum at night and see if that solves your problem.

@dylstar I don't use trentinoin but I love using hydrating toners. I usually go for Korean brands. I love the Bioheal BOH Ceramune Hydrating Cream skin (it's similar to LANEIGE Cream Skin Refillable Toner & Moisturizer with Ceramides and Peptides ) and I pair it with their lotion and cream along with whatever serum I'm using that day. I like the Anua Heartleaf toner for when my skin is sensitive. Pyunkang Yul is super hydrating and on the thicker side. Round Lab also has really good toners.

@appleberryy what serums are you using? Your skin might be reacting to one or the combination of the products.

Here are some of my faves from Sephora!! I have dry and combo skin too it’s so hard to find a perfect moisturizer.
