WHAT IS A SENSITIVE SKIN?

Sensitive skin is a common condition and means your skin is more prone to reactions such as redness and itching. Most people who have sensitive skin notice occasional or frequent itching, burning and stinging of patches of skin. Sensitive skin is very treatable and may require a visit to the dermatologist.

SIGNS YOU HAVE A SENSITIVE SKIN

Signs of a sensitive skin come from the breakdown of your skin’s protective barrier. This can be caused by the environment, dehydration, or an underlying condition. Signs include:

•    Rough, flaky patches

•    Rough texture

•    Redness

•    Swelling

•    Peeling skin

How to .. Warm your cleanser in your hands and place the hands starting on the cheeks, forehead, chin and then neck to off load your product. Then repeat the areas, taking the hands off the skin as though the skin is hot to the touch x 3 in each area  Fast forward to the present day and Clarins now grow all their own plant extracts on a 10 hectare site in the French Alps called the Clarins Domaine Two organic plant extracts from the Clarins Domain -organic golden gentian and organic lemon balm make up the unique Gentle Complex. Which helps to soothe, calm and soften the skin Clarins New Toning Lotions and Micellar water  Clarins have developed the Microbiote Complex to help rebalance the skins microbiotia When the skin’s micriobitia (skins bacteria to keep it healthy) becomes unbalanced, the skin is more fragile, and the skin becomes tight, redness and imperfections may appear.
