Think your skin is sensitive? It might be… but it might also just be sensitised. And yes, there’s a big difference – one that could totally change how you treat your skin.
In this Expert episode, Sadaf and Tegan unpack the key differences between true sensitive skin (like eczema, rosacea or a lifelong reactive skin type) and sensitised skin (which is often the result of overdoing it with actives, harsh products or environmental stress). We break down the signs, the triggers, and how to rebuild your skin barrier so your face stops freaking out at literally everything.
Plus, we share:
- Affordable ways to fade post-acne scarring
- Our own dirty little beauty secrets (you’re not alone)
- A few confessions that maybe should’ve stayed off-mic…
If your skin’s been moody, red, stingy, or just off, this one’s for you.
