The reason sensitive skin reacts so badly with conventional cleansers is because of strong acids and other chemicals that the skin isn’t OK with. Be cautious of what your facial scrub is made of. If you’re looking for an exfoliator for sensitive skin, pay attention to ingredients such as fruit oils, bamboo silica, and weak acids. Before using any product on your whole face, conduct a patch test to see how a small area of your skin will react to a new product.
