Remember, all skin conditions (like acne, aging, discoloration) can have sensitive concerns. It's always best to stick with lightweight formulas & pat products into the skin, rather than rubbing into the skin, which can create extra heat or irritation.
The first step in treating sensitive skin is understanding your skin type. Knowing what causes your skin to be sensitive or react will help determine what products you can and cannot use. Causes can be anything from specific ingredients in a product, to the environment and weather, to diet and hormones.
We often over do it when our skin has a reaction, trying our best to tame whatever we can, as quickly as possible. It's actually best to do the opposite - giving yourself time to let the skin heal, using only one product at a time to see how the skin reacts. Hydration is key, both internally and externally, so stick to hydrating products with ingredients like aloe, oat and vitamin B3, also known as Niacinimide - and as always drink lots of water to flush out your system.
