Spring allergies = sensitive skin struggles!
If your skin flares up every allergy season, it’s not just pollen to blame — your tissues might be part of the problem.
When allergies hit, we often reach for tissues dozens of times a day. But here’s the catch — tissues with added fragrance or lotion (even those labeled “soothing”) can clog pores, irritate sensitive skin, or even trigger perioral dermatitis in those prone to it.
✅ Pharmacist tip:
Choose plain, fragrance-free tissues and apply a thin layer of a gentle, non-comedogenic barrier cream (like petrolatum) around your nose to protect against irritation.
Your skin barrier will thank you later! 💆♀️
