The Problem
Sensitive skin without the trial and error
Fewer products, zero fragrance, patch-test everything: the short rulebook for reactive skin.
Sensitive skin is mostly a barrier problem, and the fix is subtraction. Cut fragrance (the single most common trigger), cut daily exfoliation, and run a three-product routine — gentle cleanser, ceramide moisturiser, mineral SPF — for a full month before judging anything. Introduce new products one at a time, patch-tested behind the ear for three days.
Shaving is where sensitive skin suffers most: a clean, sharp blade or a quality foil shaver, warm water, and an alcohol-free balm remove most of the daily aggravation.

FAQ
Is "hypoallergenic" a regulated claim?
No — it has no legal definition. "Fragrance-free" on the ingredients list is the more reliable signal for reactive skin.
