“Sensitive skin is a sign of a weakened barrier. Think of your barrier like a security guard: it stops the bad things from entering, and protects the good things inside. But, there are many ways this barrier can get damaged: UV rays, product misuse, aggressive exfoliation, daily environmental assaults… or it could just be a part of your genetics.”
– Dawn Gantt, Bioelements Esthetics Insight Circle member
