If you have sensitive skin, you need a moisturizer formulated for this skin type free of common “nasties” such as fragrance, colorant, lanolin and alcohol, and with soothing ingredients such as Neurosensine and La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water. Finally, it should also contain prebiotic ingredients to rebalance your skin’s microbiome, aka. its friendly bacteria.

Shaving can stress skin by damaging its surface, causing “razor burn,” particularly on sensitive skin. To shave sensitive skin, first moisten skin with warm water, then massage in a pre-shave oil. Next, make sure your shaving foam is alcohol-free and shave with a single-blade wet razor, pressing very lightly. Follow up with a healing cream with vitamin B5.

If you experience unpleasant sensations - pulling, prickling, burning or stinging - in response to factors such as temperature changes, wind, UV, hard water or harsh products, in the absence of a visible rash, you probably have sensitive skin. If you have redness or rashes, you are more likely to have reactive or allergic skin. Consider seeing a dermatologist for a definitive diagnosis.

We now have a better understanding of the mechanisms that can cause reactive or sensitive skin. Neurotransmitters present in nerve endings located on the skin’s surface play a role; active ingredients such as neurosensine, act on these neurotransmitters to decrease or eliminate the uncomfortable sensations experienced by women. Sensitive skins should of course be handled gently. When removing make-up for example, when using a Dermo Cleanser apply it to the hand and spread it over the face then gently remove make-up using a cotton pad. Thermal spring water will also help to relieve any inflammation. Recommended products have been specially formulated for sensitive skin dermatologically tested, and adapted to suit specific skin types.
