Why so sensitive? SENSITIVE SKIN SOLUTIONS

WITH RECENT STUDIES
showing that up to half of the population is suffering from sensitive skin, soothing skincare is in demand. Enter La Roche-posay’s Toleriane Dermallergo range. Made with skin in mind, it is clinically proven to hydrate skin and reduce signs of sensitivity, such as dryness, tightness and itchiness. With products that boast minimalist, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formulas – all of which are approved by Allergy UK – the La Rocheposay Toleriane Dermallergo range seeks to offer immediate relief for dry, tight, itchy skin and up to 48 hours’ worth of hydration. Frequent use promises a strengthened skin barrier, too – and the stronger that barrier, the less prone to sensitivity your skin will be.
SIGNS YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN
Grazia spoke exclusively to consultant dermatologist Dr Justine Hextall to get her take on all things sensitive skin. Dr Hextall has been an NHS consultant dermatologist for more than a decade and has seen first-hand just how much more common complaints of sensitive skin have become over the last few years. Unsure of whether you have sensitive skin or not? According to Dr Hextall there are three key giveaways to look out for:
1. Your skin tends to react to products.
2. Your skin is vulnerable to changes in weather and temperature.
3. Your skin can quickly become dry and tight. ‘Soothing and hydrating sensitive skin is key,’ says Dr Hextall. ‘If you are introducing actives like acids and retinol, do it slowly and always compensate with a very gentle cleanser, like La Roche-posay’s Toleriane Dermo-cleanser, and suitably hydrating moisturiser, such as La Roche-posay’s Toleriane Dermallergo Cream.’ Then there’s the serum. La Roche-posay’s Toleriane Ultra Dermallergo serum takes a twopronged approach to soothing sensitive skin. In the first instance it hydrates, relieving any tightness and itchiness on the spot. The serum also works to restore your skin’s natural barrier, warding off sensitivity in the long-run.
