It’s the one thing us brits are associated with thanks to Kate Winslet and those Jane Austin dramas. But achieving that outdoorsy English Rose glow isn’t all its cracked up to be, especially if your “glow” is more like wind-chapped. Redness and skin sensitivity affects millions of people across the world due to environmental factors (heating, air con, pollution etc), certain food and drink groups (spicy foods and alcohol are the main triggers) and sun exposure. But help is at hand (thank god for essential oils!) as brands develop their collections to include sensitive ranges and all-out scientific development.
