All of their sensitive skin products also contain bio active ingredients which have been rigorously tested and developed to make sure they deliver effective results without compromising on quality. So, read on for our top picks to help sensitive skin shine.
What is sensitive skin?
There are many different types of skin sensitivity, from dry, flaky skin, to red patches, blemishes, and tired-looking, dull complexions, and they each have their own cause. Sensitive skin can be the result of environmental factors, such as cold air or central heating, but can also be a reaction to ingredients in beauty products, make up, and soaps, so it's important to find products which support your skin without drying it out or causing breakouts, soreness, or redness.
