The 9 best beauty products for sensitive skin

In summer, however, when stress, inclement weather, sunshine, travel and a change of lifestyle on holiday come into play, your barrier function can easily get disrupted and sensitivities aggravated.

My skin looks so good people are shocked when I tell them I'm 70 – it's thanks to a posh cream I've been using since 40
THERE are hundreds of skincare products out there that claim to banish wrinkles, but this one might just actually work. This comes as beauty fans have been raving about the stuff online, with one even claiming it's turned the clock back decades. 3 The Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Refining Moisture Cream Complex would normally cost £40, but it's available for just £15 right now on Amazon. And if 60 percent off wasn't tempting enough, the results speak for themselves. "This classic formula cushions skin with moisture and provides an occlusive barrier to prevent moisture loss," the description online notes. Ingredients like plant-based squalene help to "restore smoothness and radiance" while also moisturising for "softer, smoother skin." Not only that, but the cream is perfect for helping with texture and clarity - and perhaps most importantly, the appearance of fine lines. Impressively, the products has an average rating of 4.6 stars out of five on the Elizabeth Arden website too. One beauty lover said: "I've been using this for 30 years and is the very best for my sensitive skin. I am 70 and my skin looks very good." A second was also surprised by how effective it was, she said: "The cream makes my black skin feel hydrated and smooth for the whole day. "I have an oily complexion - it's visible and dermatologists have confirmed it - but with this cream my skin is not greasy and not shiny. So far it works." And someone else claimed the cream helped them avoid wrinkles. They said: "I am 64 years old and have been using this since I was 20 years old. Hardly any wrinkles and still love using this. Hope I never have to keep selling this wonderful product." The cream is also perfect for sensitive skin, according to another shop who said: "Bought from the airport as an impulse purchase, glad I did as I have used it every day and wouldn't be without it. "I have very dry very sensitive skin sometimes with eczema and it has not caused any irritation and has greatly improved my skin texture and redness. Will repurchase." More anti-ageing tips and tricks Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Hadley King and Curel adviser shared her top tips to reverse the signs of aging - and they're all free. She previously debunked four common skincare myths, including one that Jennifer Lopez herself swears by. NO SWEET TOOTH Her first free method was to decrease sugar intake and other refined carbs. Dr. King said that almost eliminating both will "decrease aging of the skin." Eating lots of sugar ultimately causes the collagen and elastin fibers to lose their strength and flexibility, contributing to skin aging. Dr. King also encouraged people to amp up their fitness regimen. SUN SMART Dr. King challenged readers to "commit to daily sun smart behavior" because "much of the sun damage that accumulates in our skin is the result of daily incidental sun exposure." Avoid peak UV hours, seek shade, and wear UV-protective clothing. Some examples she offered were a broad-brimmed hat, UV-shielding sunglasses, and topical SPF for all exposed areas. SLEEP SOLUTION One of the most important pieces of advice Dr. King suggested was getting enough sleep. Not getting enough shut-eye per night can result in "stress [on] the body," according to the expert "Getting too little sleep has been shown to negatively affect the skin's appearance," she said. How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings. She told Fabulous: 'The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with. 'The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us. 'All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.' It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing. Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel. Whatever your age or state of health, it's never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you. Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing. Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants. Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration. Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.

The $29 winter item shoppers swear by for transforming dry skin: 'As good as the hype'
As temperatures drop and the central heating is turned up, skin can begin to feel and show the signs of seasonal dryness. But an innovative, dermatologist-approved cream is winning fans and garnering five-star reviews as a must-have skin saviour this winter. Formulated specifically for sensitive skin, CelRevive's B-Restore Barrier Cream delivers 24-hour hydration and helps to fortify the skin barrier. The before-and-after photos submitted by verified customers speak for themselves, revealing jaw-dropping transformations. B-Restore Barrier Cream costs $29 for the 20g size, perfect for on-the-go, travel, or trying the product for the first time. And for a limited-time, shoppers can get a 10 per cent discount on the 100g, usually $75, plus receive a free travel-size version. Packed with high-performance yet non-aggravating ingredients and backed by clinical testing, B-Restore Barrier Cream also works to calm irritation and restore balance to reactive skin. The dermatologist-approved skincare is clinically proved to help skin retain for moisture for longer, while calming irritation and restore balance to reactive skin Clinically proven to significantly reduce transepidermal water loss, the cream helps skin retain moisture for longer. The Australian-made skincare harnesses Lactobacillus ferment lysate, a powerful postbiotic that supports the skin's microbiome. Bilberry seed oil is rich in Omega 3 and 6, and boosts the skin's natural ceramide production to hydrate and strengthen the barrier, while Tasmanian pepperberry is a natural anti-inflammatory to help calm redness and irritation. B-Restore is 98.87 per cent natural, EWG verified, vegan, and completely free from fragrances, parabens, phenoxyethanol, and alcohols. Many customers struggle to find products that are effective, yet gentle enough to use on particularly sensitive, reaction-prone skin. But reviews of B-Restore Barrier Cream note it to be a standout in this category: 'As someone who suffers from extremely sensitive skin.... finding a suitable face cream is challenging,' one customer wrote. 'Usually, they [have] something in them that my skin reacts to. In desperation I searched the internet regularly, hoping to find a product that I hadn't used. 'I came across CelRevive - it sounded different. Naturally based but not with essential oils - no lanolin - no fragrance - no parabens or petrochemicals. B-Restore Barrier Cream costs $29 for the 20g size, and for a limited-time, shoppers can get a 10 per cent discount on the 100g, usually $75, plus receive a free travel-size version 'I have been using this product for about 3 weeks now - still no reaction and my skin feels comfortable . Very happy I found it.' 'I was really hoping this cream was going to be as good as the hype and feedback that I read about and boy has it done the job and more,' another wrote. 'Recommend this cream to everyone with any sort of skin issues, you won't be disappointed.' The brand was Founded by formulation chemist Theresa Tobin, whose own experience navigating breast cancer and the impact of radiation treatment on her skin inspired the creation of CelRevive. 'During my radiation therapy, my oncologist emphasised the importance of keeping the radiated area well-hydrated and moisturised to prevent dryness and reduce side effects,' Tobin says. 'Upon examining the ingredients of the cream provided by the hospital, with my qualification as a personal care formulation chemist who has been working in the beauty industry for over 25 years, I immediately knew there were alternative ingredients that could provide more potent efficacy, while being more gentle and less irritating on the skin. 'I spent time to understand cancer treatment related skin toxicity and dermatitis conditions and conducted extensive research on natural ingredients that strengthen skin barrier function, prevent trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), provide long lasting moisturising benefits, soothe irritation and reduce redness.'
