These products may smell good, but if you have sensitive skin, watch out. Sensitivities can be caused for many reasons. You may have inherited sensitive skin from one or both parents. If you have or are currently using Retin-A, your skin will no doubt be sensitive. Laser resurfacing may also bring about long-term sensitivities.
Thin skin is usually more sensitive than thick skin.
And finally, skin that has been abused in the sun can become sensitive over time. You want to avoid abrasive scrubs. Although exfoliation is vital to healthy skin, you don't want to cause more sensitivity by using a harsh scrub. Just imagine rubbing abrasive particles on sensitive skin. Soap is another undesirable product.
