Sensitive Skin Reviews
Dealing with sensitive skin can be a real challenge. It’s a delicate balance, finding products that are effective yet gentle enough not to cause irritation. For those of us with sensitive skin, it’s all about reading labels and choosing skincare that’s free from harsh chemicals, fragrances, and dyes. Natural or hypoallergenic products are often a safe bet. Remember, a patch test is your best friend – it’s always wise to test a new product on a small area before fully incorporating it into your routine.
And never underestimate the power of a good, simple moisturizer to keep your skin calm and happy. It’s a journey, but with patience and careful selection, managing sensitive skin becomes much more manageable.

Zo Skin Health Hydrating Cleanser

Reparative Skin Care by Twelve Beauty
When I first tried Twelve Beauty (2 years ago now) I wasn’t blown away by how it made my skin feel. Although the formulations are exquisite, at the time it was far too rich and more than my skin needed. Two birthdays and a boat-load of stress later, my skin needs more these days! I’m…
