Dryness & Sensitivity

A damaged skin barrier loses water and lets irritants in. The result is skin that stings, flakes and reacts to products it once tolerated. It is repairable, but not while the irritation continues.

What actually helps
  • Stop all actives and exfoliants for two weeks. The barrier cannot repair while under attack.
  • Ceramides, glycerin and a bland moisturiser applied to damp skin.
  • Fragrance-free everything, including laundry detergent.
  • Lukewarm water — hot water strips more than any cleanser.
