If environmental factors or your skin produce too much oil, or your complexion becomes easily irritated by moisturizers with strong fragrances such as perfumes or dyes, you could have sensitive skin. Look for light-weight moisturizers labelled “noncomedogenic” to avoid clogs in pores.
After cleansing, Johari recommends applying a hydrating mist or toner with ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid for maximum effectiveness. She also suggests chamomile to soothe red and irritated skin.
