Relief for skin that screams

SENSITIVE skin can be a nightmare, especially when many products that claim to be kind leave you screaming in horror. Your skin might also be prone to allergic reactions and erupts up within seconds of a new cream being applied. Dermatologists at La Roche-Posay have been working to find a solution and the result is Toleriane Ultra Intense Soothing Care. It might be a bit of a mouthful to splutter out at the pharmacy counter but it could provide relief for those of you prone to flare ups. Without giving a science lecture, the range contains neurosensine, a peptide that is naturally present in the skin, where it serves the sensorial regulation of pain.  It can therefore help reduce the reactivity and sensitivity of very sensitive skin. While the moisturiser should provide an instant hydrating and soothing effect, try it for a few weeks to notice more long-term benefits. La Roche-Posay is available from Feely's Pharmacy, Tuam.
