Environmental factors such as pollution, harsh weather, smoke, stress, and diet can sensitize skin. Otherwise normal skin can become dry, red or inflamed by artificial ingredients or irritants. Most often, sensitive skin appears thin and delicate with fine pores. It flushes easily and is prone to broken capillaries. Often dry skin is the result of the natural process of aging. The incidence of sensitized skin is increasing as people become intolerant of artificial preservatives and other irritating factors.

Using micro-organic ingredients that assist in cellular restructuring, each product carefully protects the delicate acid mantle while addressing redness and irritation associated with dry, sensitive skin.

Embrace your skin - helpful suggestions

• Avoid excessive heat, wash face with warm or tepid water.
• Redness and flushing are caused from over circulation of blood, resulting in visible dilated capillaries close to skin's surface. Although this is usually genetic, it can be exacerbated by sun exposure, spicy foods, temperature extremes, cigarettes, caffeine and alcohol. Avoid these triggers whenever possible to keep skin calm.
• Extreme weather conditions exacerbate and cause dry/sensitive skin – hot and sunny, cold and windy. When indoors do not set your thermostat too high – hot air can be detrimental. Whenever possible use a humidifier.
• Use cleansers, moisturizers, cosmetics, detergents and fabric softeners designed specifically for sensitive skin.
• Treat sensitive skin with care! If your skin is sensitive, you should avoid cleansing grains, brushes and loofahs.
