Aloe Calming Foaming Wash (P795) from The Body Shop
Best for: Sensitive skin
This facial wash from The Body Shop is formulated especially for sensitive skin. It contains no color, fragrance, or alcohol—all common irritants that can cause skin to act up. The gentle formula has aloe vera, which promises to soothe and calm skin while also making sure it stays soft and hydrated.

AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser (P2,050) from Murad
Best for: Textured skin
For skin that may be feeling a little rough and textured in these stressful times, try this exfoliating cleanser from Murad. It contains chemical exfoliants like salicylic acid, lactic acid, and glycolic acid which slough away dead skin cells and impurities, resulting in smooth skin with a brighter appearance. Take note: If you’re using exfoliants in the day time, be sure to apply SPF after as they can make the skin more sensitive to sun damage. But let’s be real: If you aren’t already using SPF every day, what the heck are you doing?
Available on Rustan’s online store.
