Recognising when skin is fragilized

20% of the population is born with sensitive skin, but we’re all exposed to the occasional skin rash. Everyday knocks, rubbing, using products the skin can't tolerate, climate, infections...

And you can feel it: burning, pulling, pain and sometimes itching... But it doesn't have to be that way. Help your skin soothe itself with the right care!

When you think that the skin is your first contact with the outside world, it's easy to imagine the impact that chronic rashes can have on your life. There’s the physical discomfort, of course, but also emotional, psychological and social discomfort... This is why it's important to take action!
