MAKE-UP
FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Women with sensitive skin are often keen to cover up redness, dry patches or blemishes with foundation, plus they may well want to use other make-up products to beautify their eyes, sculpt their cheeks and enhance their smile. But many fear the backlash effect that often goes hand in hand with make-up: Discomfort, redness and reactions.

    What causes sensitive skin?

    Sensitive skin has two main causes. First, its surface barrier is weakened, allowing external irritants to penetrate more deeply. Second, the nerve endings in the skin are hypersensitive, firing off pain signals in response to harmless stimuli. To soothe sensitive skin, make sure you cleanse gently with a micellar water, followed by a thermal water mist and an moisturizer.
