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.
