Old-school tips on skincare taught us to stick to products targeted to a specific skin type: oily, dry, aging, acne-prone, and sensitive. Categorizing our skincare can be limiting as many of us deal with a combination of skincare issues, and products targeting an issue can be packed with harsh chemicals that do more harm than good.
The upside: A lot of companies are moving towards making natural products designed for sensitive skin, but that work for everyone. Research in dermatology and skincare has taught us about the negative effects of external damage to our skin, from the sun to pollution. All of these factors, including stress and diet, can irritate our skin, regardless of “skin type.” Products intended for sensitive skin are formulated with natural and gentle ingredients, they work for all skin types, and you won’t have to worry about breaking out, over-drying, or heavy pore-clogging moisturizers.
Here are some skincare product lines devised for sensitive skin that we, all skin types, love.
