GOAT’S MILK
It’s rich in essential fatty acids and has minerals such as selenium, which soothes sensitive skin.
Try: Crabtree & Evelyn’s Goat’s Milk body-care collection, which also has other natural ingredients that are less likely to irritate the skin, such as nourishing oat kernel and bisabolol, an oil with reported skin-healing properties that is extracted from camomile.
CERAMIDES
Ceramides are essential to healthy skin that’s moist and supple. They're also crucial in helping the skin defend against external irritants such as pollution and harsh weather.
Try: Curel Moisture Gel-lotion ($24.80), which boasts ceramides and allatonin. The latter, a botanical extract derived from the comfrey plant, is a wellknown anti-inflammatory ingredient. Specially tailored for sweat and sensitive care, its watery formula absorbs fast, with no sticky after-feel.
