With the party season well and truly upon us, chances are
you’re either piling on your make-up for a night out or using it to disguise
the telltale signs the following day. With all this on/off business, our skin
can sometimes flare up, especially if you’d describe yours as ‘sensitive.’ What
to do? Fortunately there is a product to help.
Although my skin used to be worse, it still gets very itchy
and sensitive sometimes, especially when it’s cold outside (or artificially
warm inside). I’ve started using ‘Kalme’ which acts as a neutral, protective barrier
base coat, providing a blank canvas for any number of products you choose to
apply afterwards. Sort of like a primer. Actually, quite a lot like a primer. You
can also use it in place of a moisturiser, but I find I need a bit more
hydration in the winter months so I usually apply it after my Ren formula.
Kalme works best if you wait about 15 minutes for it to sink
in before applying your make-up. I slap it on and do my hair – the morning
routine has to be particularly slick these days; when it’s dark outside, I
normally feel like I should be in my bed.
I think Kalme is a great idea because it means that people
with sensitive skin can still glam up as much as the next person! A great
stocking-stuffer to boot!
Kalme Undercoat is free from, SLS, MI, parabens and perfumes and is suitable for use during pregnancy. It costs £9.95 (75ml) and is available from www.skinshop.co.uk or call 01794 527433
