I've been through plenty of awkward moments trying to make sure my face doesn't match my inner turmoil. Smiling on the outside while thinking to myself, "Ugh, I'll never be able to use this...," hoping I don't seem ungrateful. And nobody wants that.
Gifts you SHOULDN'T give someone with Rosacea or Sensitive Skin
1) Stay away from the smelly lotions and body wash store
2) Don't bother with new beauty trends like peel off face masks or fancy make-up
3) Think twice before getting her perfume
4) Certainly don't go spending a lot of money on girl's-night-out facials because it would probably melt her face off.
I know, we're complicated.

Here are some of my favorite sensitive skin products I use myself and love so you don't have to worry about giving gifts that make her smile and cringe at the same time. She'll actually really love it.
