Sensitive & Reactive Skin

Sensitive skin reacts to what is in a formula more than to what it promises to do, so the answer is usually subtraction. Africology formulates without parabens, propylene glycol or synthetic fragrance, using pure essential oils and indigenous botanicals instead. Cleanse with the Hydrating Cleansing Lotion rather than a foaming wash, because it lifts the day off without disturbing the skin acid mantle. Aloe Ferox Serum is the workhorse here: aloe ferox is a South African succulent with a long history of soothing compromised, easily irritated skin. Layer Moisturiser by day and Intense Night hydration overnight, when the skin does its repair work. Around the eyes, where sensitivity shows first, the Eye Elixir balm is buffered enough for reactive skin.

If your skin is currently flaring, introduce one product at a time and give it a fortnight before judging it. All Africology formulas are dermatologically tested, vegan-friendly and cruelty-free.
