I am so fed up with all the nonsense written about sensitive skin and what is good for it - or rather what is not good for it - that I thought it was about time someone who talks to people with sensitive skin every day did a bit of myth busting.
One of the aims of this blog is to save those who have sensitive skin experiencing unnecessary reactions to products and, importantly, to stop unnecessary expenditure. What I hear again and again is ‘I have a drawer/bathroom cabinet/bin full of products which I’ve bought and can’t use. I am so fed up of wasting money!’ Does that sound in anyway familiar?
So, who am I? I am Jane and I work for Queen Cosmetics where we make and sell sensitive skin products. Before you close me down saying 'oh no, just another company trying to flog its own products', let me STOP you because you might just learn something which helps you. I am not going to highlight any of our products but am going to help you navigate your own way through the murky maze that is the sensitive skin products market. What you then go on to buy, if anything, is your decision.
Another thing I wanted to achieve, is to show how broad the category - for want of a better word - ‘sensitive skin’ is by using some of the letters/emails/enquiries we get from people because what they are experiencing might just resonate with you.
It would also be good to get your feedback, thoughts and to hear your experiences by starting a forum/comments board where people with sensitive skin can get together and have a sensible discussion without hype, hysteria and any ulterior motives!
Back to the myth busting….next week I will begin with ‘chemicals are bad for sensitive skin’. Just writing it makes my blood boil…..!
