It is important to choose the right skin care for sensitive skin because many cleansers and moisturizers contain ingredients that can cause a negative reaction.

Still confused? Try this...

Before you get out your mirror and have a closer look, it's best to wash your face with a gentle cleanser, followed by a toner and then wait about 15 to 30 minutes and see how your skin behaves.
If your skin quickly starts showing oil diffused over the face, you have oily skin.
If your skin starts experiencing some dryness and feels tight, you have dry skin.
If your T-zone (the area around your nose, chin, and central forehead) starts looking oily but your cheeks and jaw area start feeling slightly to moderately dry, you have combination skin. (This is the most common skin type because everyone has more oil glands in their center of their face than on their cheeks.)
What about sensitive skin? At Mindful Complexions, we recognize that everyone has sensitive skin whether they know it or not. It’s a fact of life that almost everyone’s skin is impacted by the environment (think pollution), taking off makeup, sun damage from unprotected sun exposure, midlife changes, and health concerns. All of that makes skin vulnerable, temperamental, and unpredictable.
From that viewpoint, it’s easy to understand how everyone needs to treat their skin as if it’s sensitive, because it is! Even more to the point is if you use anything other than non-irritating, gentle products, it will make any skin care concern you have worse.
