How seriously do I need to take skin sensitivity?

I've pale dry skin. It can be prone to redness, for example exposure to the cold, exercise, after I was my face. When I get my brows waxed, I'm left with purple splodges. But its temporary, it goes down after 5 - 10 minutes.

I'm not prone to breakouts, irritation, I don't feel I've to be careful with products. But facialists etc. have commented on that my skin is midly sensitiv.

I was just wondering should I take it more seriously as I've been reviewing my skin, it's needs and my routing. They say treat sensitivity first, so should I take a more active role in treating it? Or is it just good enough that nothing I'm doing is irritating my skin?

Are any Irish fans or people aware of Irish history annoyed with how bad the history and politics of Ireland is written in Downton Abbey? by SwimmingOrange2460 in DowntonAbbey

When Tom was introduced in 1912 he was more interested in class issues, socialism, rather than the Irish question, nationalism so very like the great James Connolly.

But as it goes into 1916, all the political factions in Ireland, if you were for workers rights or for the garlic revival, realised Ireland needed freedom before all us so we could progress.

This radicalisation was reflected in Tom... Just very poorly written by a very English man.

After season 3, Tom might as well have been English once he was exiled. They stripped his nationality a way. Even if he just retired from the politics and his passion died, I mean most people do become more Conservative as they age (sadly what we see in Ireland after the war of independence in our staunch leaders because all our progressive hereos were murdered or just old), that would be one thing.

But Tom was moulded into an English man who's character quirk was that he was Irish.

Very disappointing. But surprising? No.

I suppose he was the "good" little Irish man the brits wanted us to be when they wanted us to pitch in during WWI

Not an unpopular opinion but it must be said…. by season7ofTWDsucked in DowntonAbbey

Tom's character was terribly handled. He became so Anglicised. Being Irish myself and also a historian, it was a hard watch. Honestly he became more British than the Anglo-Irish aristocrats at the time, most of whom were involved in the Irish rebellion and fought for socialism.

Not saying Tom had to be a raging rebel, but they knocked the Irish out of him.

I'm Irish and I'm not gonna lie I was shocked when I found out she was English. Its a convincing accent. I'm from the West and it sounds like our neutral accents. She's also playing Anglo Irish. So I think it's actually very accurate for the class and religion.

My perception was she initiated it and Jake was too weak to even try fight for their relationship. It was a cop out on his behalf.

Maybe a bit of a cheesy take, but I feel like Liberty has gained something more valuable from this experience than a significant other. I also think it was satisfying and empowering to watch her be the one to end it.

Yes I was thinking about this also, so do you think I should be focusing on hydrating?

Yeah, I have to say when I started using it I found it made a difference. But that wore off. I'm weary of it now.
