It’s no secret that the warmer temperatures bring along a host of challenges for those with sensitive skin.
The combination of soaring temperatures, increased humidity, and intense UV rays can wreak havoc on delicate skin, leading to issues like redness, irritation and breakouts. Fortunately, there are a variety of specially formulated products available that cater to the needs of sensitive skin during the summer.
Below are some of our top recommendations designed to soothe, protect, and nourish.
New Hydrafacial Peel Sensitive (£150)
For those who may not have considered a Hydrafacial previously due to skin sensitivity, Peel Sensitive is designed especially for those seeking a gentle yet effective professional skin solution. The formula harnesses the power of Lactobionic Acid (a PHA) and Phytic Acid (an AHA) in lieu of Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid, providing gentle chemical exfoliation without causing redness or irritation. Integrated seamlessly into Hydrafacials renowned 3-step cleanse, extract, and hydrate treatment protocol, the Peel Sensitive formula operates painlessly to buff away dead skin cells, alleviating congestion, and protecting against free-radicals for clearer, brighter, healthier skin.
