Gentle Products Pamper Your Sensitive Side

Some people are extra sensitive, and that doesn't mean their feelings. Sensitive skin, hair, teeth and gums are problems that are unfortunate birthrights for many people.

For example, 20 percent of Americans are the victims of painful, stinging canker sores. Delicate gum tissue is easily irritated by the cleansers in many toothpastes.

Needless to say, if you want white teeth and you're a canker sore sufferer, it may seem like you're destined for lifelong smile stains. But thanks to some new products, you may still be able to keep your smile white. Rembrandt Oral Care Products has developed Rembrandt Extra Whitening for Canker Sore Sufferers, a toothpaste clinically proven to reduce occurrences of canker sores by 80 percent.

"I've had to deal with canker sores since I was a kid," said Kelly Howard, a Los Angeles-based producer. "Most toothpastes just seemed to make them worse. When I switched to Rembrandt Extra Whitening for Canker Sore Sufferers, I finally got relief, and I hardly get canker sores anymore."

Whether you have sensitive skin, hair or gums, there is a host of extra-gentle products for you! Here are some more mild mannered miracles for some pesky problems:

  • Sensitive feet. With gel-filled heel protectors, which offer ultra-cushy padding, life will be a walk in the park.
  • Sensitive complexion. Are you extra dry around the nose yet plagued by regular breakouts? Try a moisturizer specially formulated to adapt to "fickle" and easily irritated skin.
  • Sensitive eyes. Constant dry, itchy eyes can have anyone seeing red. Eye drops that are similar to natural tears are safe for use day or night.
  • Sensitive hair follicles. What's the point of trying to get a smooth shave if you only end up with razor burn or shaving bumps? Use a shaving gel with aloe, which protects while it softens.
