This winter has been the worst on record for my face. 14-20 inches of snow mixed with gusting winds that feel like they have some 200 horsepower is not something you want to subject your birthday suit to — as a result, I suspect that I may have ended up with windburn, which is a serious bitch (thanks, Mother Nature).
Therefore, I’ve had to resort to sensitive skin treatments, and one of the crown jewels during my search was the Sensitive Skin Line from Votre Vu Skincare.
The Attentive Facial Cleansing Milk ($29) is one of the most gentle, almost baby safe creamy cleansing milks I’ve tried. It contains safflower, sunflower seed oil and Roman Chamomile extract to remove any impurities without chaffing or reddening your skin with the abrasion of Brillo Pad, so you can rest easy.
I’m also crazy about the rich, creamy and organic Attentive Night Cream for Sensitive Skin ($54). It is creamier than whipped cream, and includes borage and tamanu oil in addition to shea butters blended with milk proteins and algae extracts. It is more soothing than a cup of peppermint tea with honey (although if you have a cuppa after your moisturizing routine, you’re surely bound for some soothing z’s).

From Lisa:
Yes, this winter was insane! So for your advice – I ended up with a patch of very dry skin on the side of my face – just one side. It sounds like the Attentive Night Cream is the way to go – I have sensitive skin, so many products make my face red. Thanks for the tip – I’ll have to try it out!
From Pamela:
Thank-you for the nice write up on our Milk Cleanser and Night Cream.

From Heather Wolgamott:
Charu,
It’s great that you address the issue that your skin has different needs depending on the season/climate. I am a Brand Ambassador with Votre Vu and have been using several of their products for over a year and switch up depending on the needs of my skin.
I tend to use the Attentive line during the summer time when it’s so humid here in the South and my pores tend to get clogged. In the winter time, I use our Best Regards line for more hydration.
Another great product for sensitive skin is our Tragic Magic Skin Corrective cream. It’s another staple on my vanity. I used it this morning because my skin just has been feeling out of sorts:)
If your readers are curious about how our French skin care differs from other brands that are out there, they can read more details on the line on my blog…www.bestfaceforward-skincare.com.
Thanks for sharing the Votre Vu buzz. Soon all will know, but you knew first:)
Merci,
Heather Wolgamott
