Sensitive Skin

This question is quite common. It is true that dry skin is often sensitive, but sensitive skin is not necessarily dry. We explain why.

A skin that reacts to the slightest change or following the application of a conventional skincare product deserves your attention. This condition needs to be closely monitored to prevent skin damage and the permanent onset of redness.
