If you’ve got sensitive skin, you’ll know how difficult it is to find products that suit your needs. Sometimes, you can spend ages at the pharmacy just picking out your body wash or face cleanser.

You can never be too careful with what you put on our skin, so in order to prevent unnecessary triggers of itchiness or discomfort, it might be time to consider investing in suitable skincare products. From soaps to creams, makeup removers to moisturisers, we would like to present to you our top 11 beauty buys of the season, specially curated for those of you with sensitive skin.
