Oh, the skin barrier. You will have likely heard of this being referred to A LOT within the skincare industry and while you might not know what it is, we’d bet good money that you’ve probably felt the backlash when it's become compromised (aka unhappy). 

Have sensitive or sensitised skin? Here are our do’s (and don’ts!) to help keep it calm and balanced

You might assume that sensitive skin simply means skin that is easily irritated, but there are other signs to be aware of that may indicate your skin is sensitive or sensitised.

For some, it can be temporary, while for others, it’s chronic ― typically in those with a genetic predisposition or inflammatory skin condition.
