Skin sensitivity
Sensitive skin: selecting luxury cosmetics
Describe the sensations before comparing creams
Stinging, tightness and discomfort do not necessarily describe the same problem. For sensitive skin, note the circumstances and products already used before looking for a more expensive formula. A short ingredient list or natural presentation cannot guarantee tolerance; your own history of reactions provides more useful information for narrowing down a selection.
Introduce a new product with stable reference points
Changing several items at once makes a reaction harder to interpret. Keep handling gentle and examine fragrance, texture and rinsing instructions separately. Sensitive-skin ranges provide options rather than a substitute for medical advice when redness, burning or itching persists. The aim is comfortable use, not collecting the greatest number of reassuring packaging claims.
