So, guys…

As you have seen I have broken down some of the very good moisturisers that experts proved to be suitable for dry sensitive skins.

A quick disclaimer: I cannot guarantee that these products will work for you, but these are the very best ones recommended by dermatologists and experts.

At the end of the day, we all know that it is all about experimenting with products in our skin until we finally find the right ones. Even dermatologists themselves only advise us products that could potentially help with a condition. It is however an advantage to know that the products that we are trying are at least among the most recommended ones from experts.

Of course, you should not mix too many products at ones as explained in a previous post since it might worsen your condition.

Guys it doesn’t have to be complicated, just remember to be patient and take your time to get to know your skin and what it needs. Everyone has their own time and that is normal!

All the products that I have listed are suitable for your condition, it just depends on what you are specifically looking for in the product!

You never know what product might turn out to be the perfect one for you that you probably are going to use for several years! Again, just be patient and take your time darling!
