Studies show that 1 in 2 women identify as having sensitive skin, which can range from reactive redness and a mild intolerance of strong products to skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Despite these seemingly swelling numbers, sensitivity doesn’t have to be a life-long problem – once you understand your skin, you can help it to heal itself and feel more comfortable every day.
3 of the best skin products for sensitive skin:
1. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser
The entire La Roche Posay Range is worth a look for reliably gentle but effective (and sensibly priced) skincare. This cleanser is particularly lovely, a loose milky fluid that you work in with water and splash away, leaving skin soft and clean at R250 for 200ml.
