Special Considerations for Sensitive Skin

Delicate, over-reacts to touch, sun and certain cosmetic ingredients.

The most common place for sensitive skin to react to cosmetics is next to the nose and on the eyelids.

As many as one in four people react negatively to artificial fragrances in products.

If you are extremely sensitive and cautious about using new products do a patch test first. Apply a small amount of the product on your inner elbow or behind your ear and cover with a small plaster. Leave for 24 hours; any sensitive reaction should occur in that time. If not the product should be safe to use.

When trying new products introduce one at a time; so you know exactly which causes any possible reaction.

Remember that ‘normal' skin may exhibit signs of over sensitivity when over cleansed, exposed to excessive sun or extreme weather conditions.

Barefoot Botanicals products are purer than pure. They contain no artificial fragrances, parabens or other synthetic preservatives. Our S.O.S Skin Rescue range is almost always great for calming skin aggravated by an allergic response.
