Skin toner?

My skin is very strange. I went to a dermatologist, and they said I had EXTREMELY sensitive skin that dries and cracks easily. I've tried some toners before, and they all dried my skin up like a chip, leaving awful scars and dark spots on my face. Anyone have any suggestions (other than makeup or surgical procedure, and tanning, which makes it worse) on what toner to use for extremely sensitive skin, or which product can lighten skin/spots?

Skin toner?
your skin is sensitive because you've been using synthetic toners. probbaly the best toner for you right now is just plain old chamomile tea (chamomile is so good for senstitive skin, and yes, teas make the best toners) soak the tea bag for 15 minutes, squeeze the remainder out and dab gently all over your face. get rid of any commercial products you have because all they do is cause more skin problems. and invest in good natural/organic porducts (upurea.com mountainroseherbs.com drhaushka.com gratefulbody.com)
Reply:Look for a toner with absolutely no alcohol in it. L'Oreal has one in a pink bottle that has a skin hydrater in it as well.





I don't know what you're using for a moisturizer, but make sure it's nice a thick [not one for your body, has to be specifically for your face] and it coats your skin thourougly.





You can use a product with hydroquinone in it to lighten spots on your face, or you can gradually fade them with a retinol product.





You can also look into low percentage chemical peels and microdermabrasion. These methods are more expensive, but you'll see results right away, and they will last longer.
