Sensitive Skin Product Guide

Sensitive Skin sufferers unite! It can be a long and expensive journey, the time you spend sourcing and researching about so called ‘gentle’ products can be so frustrating! If you are a sensitive skin soul, these things would be quite familiar; redness, breakouts, rash, inflamed and irritated skin or you may suffer from skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, dermatitis which are very sensitive to certain ingredients/ irritants.

 To help you navigate your way through what products are suitable and specifically formulated for sensitive skin I have put a list of recommendations together:

Sensitive Skin Guide

Skin Juice

Skin Juice is an Australian brand that has particularly devoted their skin care to gentle natural ingredients that are nourishing, soothing and calming which is perfect for irritated and sensitive skin.

Bio Juice Hydra Skin Drink

This product has been formulated without drying astringents like traditional toners, instead this healthy skin drink should be used in place of a toner after cleansing and/or as a morning cleansing tonic. *What is wonderful about this product is that it also provides immediate and long-lasting hydration, penetrating deep into the skin and relieving the spread of inflammation and allergic reactions. Bio Juice is also infused with anti-inflammatory chamomile to help calm redness or irritation for sensitive skin, combined with aloe vera and allantoin (a non-irritating moisturising ingredient) which both soften and strengthen the skin. The perfect skin pick me up! Bio Juice is vegan, nut oil free and pregnancy safe too. 200ml $47.00. Shop: Bio Juice Hydra Skin Drink

Re Juice Face Oil

This product is another super potent blend by Skin Juice, jam packed with ultra-calming, skin nurturing ingredients. This product is ideal for all skin types but especially those with hypersensitive and problematic skin. Formulated with a concentrated mix of natural, skin nurturing ingredients like soothing chamomile and prickly pear seed oil which help to soothe inflammation, treat breakouts and reduce redness associated with rosacea, eczema and psoriasis. The addition of essential fatty acids is vital in protecting the skin against irritation, dehydration and breakout whilst regulating oil flow for glowing skin. This product is nut free and pregnancy safe. Use this product as a replacement for your night cream it is easily absorbed and won’t leave an oily residue.
