SPECIAL CARE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Your need extra-gentle products to care for sensitive skin and also to keep it supple and healthy. Choose from a wide range of hypo-allergenic products that are specially formulated to protect sensitive skin. These products are free of common irritants such as fragrance that can cause dryness, itchiness, or even an allergic reaction.
Step 1: Make sure the makeup you are using is hypo-allergenic too, and remove it thoroughly. First, use a soothing eye makeup remover. Apply a cotton wool ball, then remove every last trace with a clean cotton bud.
Step 2: It is advisable not to use facial washes and soaps as these are likely to strip your skin of oil and moisture and can increase its sensitivity even more. So instead, choose a light, hypo-allergenic cleansing lotion.
