Cleansing sensitive skin
becca859   21/11/2011, 13:34

I presently use the Dove bodywash for sensitive skin in addition to Curel 'Itch Defense'. I am just wondering if there are any other suggestions on the types/brands of cleansers that are also appropriate for very sensitive skin. Thanks :)

Hi Becca,

I prefer to recommend products based on what they have in them or more importantly what they don't have in them.  Look for a cleanser that is fragrance free or has no sodium lauryl sulfate which can be highly irritating.  Sometimes the cleansers that don't foam or lather are the best as the foaming agents can or may tend to dry the skin out or remove the lipids layer of the outer skin leading to dryness.
