Sunscreen can aid in the journey from sensitive skin to healthy skin. Because sensitive skin is easily irritated, it’s recommended to do a patch test on a close area to the face, like the neck, before applying it all over the face.
This article introduces three popular products with good reviews for sensitive skin. All the products introduced today are fragrance-free.
