Gentle touch
Sensitive skins have a particularly tough time during winter, as skin experiences greater variations in temperature, for example, coming into a warm house when it’s freezing outside. Comments Consultant Dermatologist Dr. Justine Hextall FRCP: 'When seasons change the needs of our skin changes also. Central heating can dry skin and cold, windy days often leave skin flushed and sensitive. It is therefore a time of year that skin needs extra care. #
'It is important to use gentle products on dry, sensitive skin; I recommend using a cleanser that is as close to your natural skin pH as possible to protect the skins’ natural barrier, which is even more important when exposed to harsher conditions.'
We like Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, £8.99, which will clean the skin without leaving it feeling dry or tight. You should also use a good moisturiser such as Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion, £8.99, for an extra boost.
