When you have sensitive skin, it’s not only the change in season that can cause skin to become irritated or break out. Harsh chemicals, fragrances, and other ingredients found in many of today’s skincare and cosmetics products can do this as well. What’s more, the term “hypoallergenic” is not regulated by the FDA, which means companies can put this term on their label without the FDA approval. Scary, right? However, with some knowledge about ingredients and a look at the ingredient list, you can get an idea of how safe a product will be on your sensitive skin (for example, fragrances and preservatives are a definite no-no, as they are more likely to cause a bad reaction on the skin). And luckily, there’s a growing number of products popping up these days that are free from many harsh ingredients, and these beauty products are a game changer, as they allow even the most sensitive-skinned consumers to reap the beautifying benefits that skincare and cosmetics have to offer.
