The Skin Nerd: Do you have sore, sensitive skin? Here's what to do

Do you want your skin to feel as rested as you would after a week away from it all, relaxing by the pool with nothing to do but to chill?

The Skin Nerd: Super Soothers: Skincare treats to bring comfort to sore, sensitive skin

So far, this summer hasn’t gifted us with much sunshine, and our budgets (and life commitments) don’t always allow for a getaway, but you can help your skin to reclaim some peace with some soothing treats that put a time out on redness, sensitivity and irritation.

Firstly, you might ask what causes skin sensitivity? There’s no doubt that the weather has been changeable and this- in extremes - can affect our skin barrier. However, this is not the only thing that can cause blotchy, red or sore skin. Disruptions in sleep, exercise, use of the wrong products, sun damage and even stress are also common triggers for irritated skin.
