Is this milk suitable for sensitive skin, and are there any precautions I should know about?

Many people with mildly sensitive skin get on well with light body milks, but this formula has one component worth a moment of attention: pineapple extract with bromelain. Enzymes are gentler than scrubs or acids, yet if you are specifically sensitive to pineapple or bromelain — for example, if fresh pineapple makes your mouth or hands tingle noticeably — treat this product with the same caution.

A sensible way to introduce it:

• Do a patch test first: apply a small amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before using it over larger areas.
• Start with use every other day rather than daily, and watch how the skin responds over the first week.
• Apply only to intact skin — avoid freshly shaved areas for the first few hours, as well as any scratches, cracks or irritated patches, where even mild ingredients can sting.
• Keep it away from the eye area.

Stop use if redness, itching or any irritation appears. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding and unsure about specific ingredients, a quick check with your doctor or dermatologist before adding a new product is a reasonable step. For very reactive skin that flares with most fruit-extract cosmetics, a fragrance- and enzyme-free emollient may be the safer everyday choice, with this milk kept for less reactive periods.
