It is important to take note of products that leave the skin irritated in order to compare reactive ingredients when comparing products.
Sensitive Skincare Products for the Body
Just as it is essential to practice facial skincare for sensitive skin, it is also important to practice a similar routine when it comes to the rest of the body.

Using products with harsh ingredients can severely irritate sensitive skin.
