Having Sensitive skin can be a frustrating challenge sometimes. Finding the right skincare products that will not trigger your sensitivity is also not a walk in the park. Skin sensitivity can stem from various factors, including allergies, irritants, or underlying skin conditions like eczema and is often characterized by redness, itchiness, stinging sensations and dryness.

To soothe and protect your skin, it’s crucial to identify and avoid common irritants. These usually include fragrances, artificial dyes, alcohol, and harsh sulfates. These ingredients can strip the skin of its natural oils, disrupt the skin barrier, and trigger inflammation.

Choosing the Right Products

Selecting skincare products for sensitive skin requires careful consideration. Look for labels that indicate the product is hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic. These terms generally suggest the product is less likely to irritate sensitive skin.

We have made this easier for you by putting together products your skin will love.
