Gentle Facial Care for Sensitive Skin

When it comes to facial skincare, individuals with sensitive skin should prioritise products that are gentle, non-irritating, and free from potential allergens.

Cleansers

Look for mild cleansers specifically formulated for sensitive skin, preferably fragrance-free and hypoallergenic. These cleansers will effectively remove dirt and impurities without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier.
