Focus on Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is a very common condition, if you think that about 60% to 70% of women and 50% of men report having this kind of skin.

But what does it mean and how we need to take care of it?

Sensitive skin is a tricky one because it might mean your skin is more prone to redness, rosacea, or your skin gets irritated and easily red because of certain ingredients in skincare products.

Or, it might react more severely to wind, sunlight, and pollution or be prone to flakiness and itching.

If your skin is sensitive in any of these ways, your best bet is to look for gentle products, free from: harsh surfactants (SLS, SLES), fragrances, alcohol and parabens.

Choose ingredients that maintain and nourish your skin barrier: Niacinamide, Panthenol, Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, Rosehip oil, Shea Butter. Humectants and emollients draw and seal in moisture.

Ceramides help to moisturise and strengthen the skin barrier, protecting the skin from external aggressors. Soothing ingredients: Oatmeal,  Aloe Vera, Algae, Licorice. Last but not least, Peptides calm and smooth the skin to alleviate discomfort, as well as hydrate for a revitalised, glowing skin.

NOTE: If your skin is extremely reactive remember to do a patch test before using a product.
