Skin Overly-
Sensitive
Question: I have super
sensitive skin and scared to
use anything on my skin. What
are some really safe and gentle
ingredients I should be looking
out for in a skincare product?
Katrina Valente, Holistic
Aesthetician responds:
“For
super sensitive skin, it’s good to look
for ingredients that are calming
such as Chamomile, which soothes
and calms, Aloe Vera or stone crop,
which moisturizes and hydrates
and also calms redness, rose, which
is extremely desensitizing and
moisturizing, Calendula, which is
good for minor burns, chafing and
sunburn to support the healing of
sensitive skin and also lavender,
which is a good all-around soother
and balancer.
It is best to find these in a good
organic skincare product like
Eminence Professional Organics.
There is the stone crop moisturizer,
which is specifically for sensitive
dehydrated pigmented skins, a
Hibiscus Calendula mask that calms
and soothes, a rose tonic to hydrate
and soothe, or a moisturizer in rose
which is excellent for any sensitive
skin types and also an amazing
Lavender night concentrate which
has stem cell therapy. With a proper
skincare routine, one can reverse
sensitivity to make it more normal
over time.”
