Moisturiser For Sensitive Skin

  Sensitive skin can often lack the natural moisturising properties of normal or combination skin, it’s important to always be wary of your skin’s hydration levels.

Moisturisers, especially those with SPF and UVA/UVB filters, help to protect and replenish our skin from its daily duties and help us to keep a healthy, radiant glow.

The best moisturisers for sensitive skin will help to provide intensive soothing moisture to enrich skin’s natural glow without any common irritants, such as:

  • Parabens
  • Silicones
  • Colourants
  • Mineral Oils

CHOOSING THE BEST MOISTURISER FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Finding a moisturiser that won’t irritate your sensitive skin can be tricky. Especially when the best way to do it is by a process of elimination.

Before you even start looking for a suitable moisturiser, your first point of call should be to get an accurate assessment of your skin type. It’s important to know the cause of your sensitive skin symptoms so you can make the best choices for your skin.

If you are concerned about your sensitive skin, it’s best to visit a qualified dermatologist. If you are experiencing irritation from specific moisturisers or other products, it’s important to find out why. Is it because of a particular allergy? Is it due to an underlying skin condition? Is it due to aspects of your lifestyle or diet? After a qualified professional has helped you to answer these questions you can begin your quest for the best moisturiser for your sensitive skin.
