I have a lot of concerns because of my suddenly sensitive skin.

Until recently, I could just apply anything I wanted, but these days, even after just washing my face, my face quickly turns red and stings, which is frustrating. It's so frustrating when I look in the mirror and see myself looking different than before. People say it all changes with time, but for me, my face feels especially hot and bothersome. Have you ever suffered from a sudden change in my sensitive skin? Even the nourishing cream I normally use feels so irritating that I dread standing in front of the vanity. I've tried searching for gentle products to soothe my irritated face, but my skin is so sensitive that I can't even reach for them. It's frustrating how even the slightest breeze can make my skin flaky. I can't just ignore this, so I want to try some kind of skincare routine, but it's not as easy as I'd like. Everyone around me advises me to look for gentle ingredients, but the sheer number of options at the store makes it difficult to choose. It's especially important to stick to the basics, but I'm at a loss as to where to begin. Do you have any gentle skincare tips or face masks that you've personally tried and found helpful? I'd love to hear your wisdom and experiences.
