9 Derm-Approved Tips for Calming Sensitive Skin

Since sensitive skin is often indicative of a compromised barrier, it’s very important that it remains hydrated. “Obagi Hydrate Facial Moisturizer, $50, is an excellent option, as it features a delivery system that provides moisture throughout the day,” Schlessinger says. “Shea and mango butters, avocado oil and glycerin provide much-needed hydration while also protecting skin from free radical damage.” If you need something a little richer, he suggests trying SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2, $128, which provides deep hydration with lipids, ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids while also repairing skin’s natural moisture barrier.
