Which care program for a sensitive or reactive skin?

They are said to accept almost nothing. When dealing with cosmetics for sensitive and reactive skins, more (not to say too much!) is not that better … The less such skins are in contact with different products, and with the many ingredients that sometimes make a formula, the less risk they have to be in contact with an irritant or a sensitizing ingredient … Few products (wisely chosen), every formula comprising few ingredients, to lower the number of potential irritations is a first step to have such epidermis at rest. This first principle comes along two other daily mottos: Moisturization and Protection.
