If your skin stings, turns red easily, or reacts to products more often than not — you're not alone. Sensitive skin is one of the most common skincare concerns, and building a routine that soothes rather than irritates can make all the difference.
Step 1: Choose a Gentle Cleanser
Avoid foaming cleansers with sulfates or alcohol. Opt for hydrating, non-stripping formulas that respect your skin's pH.
Step 2: Use a Calming Serum
Look for ingredients like niacinamide or aloe vera. These reduce redness and strengthen the skin barrier over time.
Step 3: Incorporate Sheet Masks (2-3x/week)
Sheet masks can help calm inflamed skin, just make sure they’re fragrance-free and made with natural ingredients like mycelia or biocellulose , which adheres like a second skin. Try our Power Recovery Mask to soothe and repair.
Step 4: Moisturize with creams with barrier-boosting ingredients
Ceramides, squalane, and hyaluronic acid are your new best friends. These lock in moisture and protect your skin against irritants.
Step 5: Don’t Skip Sunscreen
Sensitive skin is extra vulnerable to sun damage. Choose a mineral-based SPF with zinc oxide for broad-spectrum protection.
What to Avoid:
-
Fragrance
-
Harsh exfoliants (physical scrubs)
-
Alcohol-based toners
Sensitive skin deserves consistency, calmness, and care. Start simple, listen to your skin, and remember: less is more.
