๐Ÿงผ 1. Choose a Gentle Cleanser

Skip anything with strong smells or foaming formulas โ€” they can strip your skin and leave it dry and tight.

๐Ÿงด Minnieโ€™s Picks:

  • CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
  • Simple Kind to Skin Refreshing Facial Wash
  • La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Wash with lukewarm water โ€” not hot!

๐Ÿ’ง 2. Moisturise Like Your Life Depends on It

Sensitive skin LOVES moisture. It keeps your skin barrier happy and stops irritation.
