Q: What qualifies sensitive skin and
how do I know if I have it?
A: Sensitive
skin is skin that is more susceptible to common irritants and allergens and has
less natural ability to defend itself. Normally, the skin's outermost layer acts
as a barrier to protect the skin from external damage, but sensitive skin's
barrier may be weakened or not functioning effectively. When sensitive skin
can't defend itself, its reactions can range from visible effects such as
redness, swelling, and severe dryness to sensory effects such as stinging,
itching, or burning. Reactions may be caused by a number of factors including
personal care products, changes in the environment, climate, or contact of
jewelry and/or clothing with the skin.
You probably have sensitive skin if
you have had adverse reactions in the past to skincare or cosmetic products. If
your skin consistently feels irritated after applying personal care products, it
is very likely that you have truly sensitive skin. However, you may also find
that you experience sensitivity only occasionally. A change in climate, hormonal
shifts, or even a change in your work environment could set off some sensitivity
in normally healthy skin.
I would recommend that you discover
Noevir's 99 Skin Care Line. The gentle ingredients makes this line ideal

breakthrough new technology with beneficial herbs from the East and West to

aging. And as if that wasn't enough, it also helps strengthen your skin's own
barrier function for lasting protection against external elements.
