How do I moisturise sensitive skin?

If you suffer from sensitive skin, you may experience that spontaneous sensation that apropos of nothing, you develop a rash, or a burning itching patch. Otherwise you experience flakiness, which makes appearing in public a fairly unpleasant situation.

Having sensitive skin makes moisturizing a bit of a nightmare – to find a product that is suited to the unpredicatability of your skin, and deal with the various flare ups and breakdowns.

But even an application of a serum, a cream and then a face oil will produce a dry complexion only hours later. It’s frustrating and maddening.

What you need to look for, according to Stylecaster, is a moisturiser that is specifically formulated to hydrate, soothe, and restore happiness to bedraggled skin, all with clogging pores.

One of these creams that we’ve seen powerful results from is one from the always amazing Babor.
