How Not to Irritate Sensitive Skin
It's worth saying again: Never get too aggressive when washing your face. Yes, sunscreen can be stubborn, but being overzealous will only inflame skin, especially if your complexion has a tendency to get irritated.
Simpson says that those with sensitive skin can try using a lightweight, moisturizing facial oil after cleansing and toning to help restore and soothe skin overnight.
Guanzon suggests using an after-sun product, like the Coola Radical Recovery Eco-Cert Organic After Sun Lotion, $32, to help skin replenish and recover. This rich lotion contains soothing aloe and agave to provide skin with nutrients and soothe redness and irritation.
