It is great when it is a humid day.
It is really nice to spray it on my face and skin. It's so refreshing.

How irritating is it that you...
Can't find products that cater to your sensitive skin needs?
Suffer from sensitive skin, as well having to worry about oiliness or the signs of aging?
Why are there so few options which will treat your skin worries, without irritating?
AND, why can't there be options, which will actively treat your skin concerns, not provoke your sensitivities & be natural too...
I know the feeling .... I have had sensitive skin all my life. Sure I could find certain Pharmacy brands that worked but I found they were packed with chemicals, smelled awful and didn't give me that "luxury" feel, I too wanted from skincare. The other option was choosing from a range of natural products that simply were not active enough to work on my skin.
So as a PHARMACIST, I took it upon myself to develop custom products for my clients that are :
- DESIGNED FOR SENSITIVE SKIN but proven active on all skin types
- POWERED BY NATURE
- CUSTOMISED TO YOUR SCENT OF CHOICE
Did you know that sensitive skin is one of the most common health conditions, yet no two people have the same combination of symptoms. What works for one person, makes someone else's skin worse. And the reality is that most people will never figure out exactly what their specific allergies are.

what can I do about it ?
Apart from trying to avoid some of the triggers listed above, the best option is to work on improving your skin's barrier function in an attempt to increase your skin's resilience to triggers. By using the right skincare regimen designed for sensitive skin. To protect your skin from irritation, look for the following features in your skincare :
- Super-hydrating/almost oily
- Skin penetrating - ingredients like Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Jojoba Oil, Rose hip Oil
- Avoid ingredients which sit on the skin, like mineral oil (a kindly name for petrolatum) & lanolin (wool fat)
- Minimal ingredients to avoid irritation
- No known irritants - avoid parabens, sulphates, formaldehydes etc.
- Minimal unnecessary ingredients, ie. fragrance, colour, fillers
