Do You Have Sensitive Skin?

Sensitive
skin is not really a medical term and can mean many things depending on whom
you ask. To most laypersons, people who easily break out in rashes in reaction to
commonly used products have sensitive skin. 
Doctors will say you are likely to have sensitive skin if you have acne,
psoriasis, contact dermatitis, rosacea, or eczema. These medical conditions can
run in the family. Allergic reaction to a cosmetic or household product is usually
not hereditary.

What are some tips in choosing
products for sensitive skin?

Are
skin care products labeled “hypoallergenic” or “sensitive skin formula” safer
for sensitive skin?

How do I test a new skin care
product?

Whether your skin
sensitivity is the result of a skin disorder, a reaction to a product, or to sudden
change in weather, it requires extra care. Making these small changes in your daily
skin care regimen can help improve your skin condition.
