Sensitive skin is not really a skin type but rather a symptom caused by various factors, often characterized by a delicacy and a quick adverse reaction to environmental conditions. The skin may be of the normal, dry, or oily type but frequently reacts with redness, itching, burning or dryness to external or internal factors. Causes may be an underlying skin disorder, allergies, contact to irritants or the use of inadequate or not skin-type adjusted products. This skin type benefits from gentle, natural products and treatments.
Being aware of how your skin reacts to specific products and making sure you limit those reactions will keep your skin happy. Remember, if any product causes stinging or irritation, discontinue use. Listed below are our recommended products for sensitive skin.
