Sometimes, sensitive skin can feel tight and uncomfortable and it can be hard to correct with normal products. This mask from Decleor is an intense mask to help soothe and calm feelings of discomfort and sensitivity. It gives the skin a protective barrier whilst intensely nourishing, to give moisture and defend against external irritants which might make redness worse.
If redness is an ongoing problem for you, you’ll need a product which you can use every day, like this solution from Elemis. It contains centella asiatica, malt extract and brown algae, which combine to regenerate skin cells and protect them from the breakdown of collagen, as well as reducing the appearance of capillaries on the surface of the skin, which can look unsightly. It contains no parabens, SLS or other nasties which might increase irritation.
