Quit smoking
Smoking doesn’t just affect your health and wellbeing, it can have a big affect on your skin too!

It’s hard to quit smoking cold turkey but actually you might be spurred on to follow it through when you see the results in the improved look and feel of your skin and improved health too. Better health and better skin!

Find the right foods for you
Often a trigger of sensitive skin is the food we eat. If you find you're having flare ups regularly try keeping a food and drink diary. This is the best way to get a detailed look at what you're eating and it could help you work out what might be triggering your attacks.

Sun exposure
We know from research that increased exposure to the sun’s UV rays can increase the level of skin sensitivity.

When you’re out and about use a SPF moisturiser to protect your skin from UV exposure and keep your skin moisturised too.
