I HAVE very sensitive skin and I suspect that it’s probably exacerbated by the skincare and household products that come into contact with my skin. They cause stinging, redness and leave a burning sensation. What should I be looking out for when choosing skincare products so that my sensitive skin won’t be irritated? Could you suggest a product for me? – Sabrina
According to Hubert Hubert W. Hoi, head of training, KENSapothecary, most people assume they have sensitive skin because skincare or household products that come into contact with their skin seem to cause a stinging or burning sensation, leaving the skin red or with a feeling of tightness. Sometimes, even though there are no visible side effects, one is presumed to have sensitive skin when the skin feels uncomfortable after using the product.
