Overview
If you suspect you have sensitive skin, we’re going to guide you through what to do next. Below, we’re breaking down sensitive skin’s causes, characteristics, and how to choose targeted skincare products to suit this skin type.
Quick tips for sensitive skin
- Look for fragrance-free, minimalist formulas with skin-supportive ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to help maintain a healthy moisture barrier.
- Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser that removes impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils or disrupting the skin moisture barrier.
- Follow up cleansing with a nourishing serum and a rich, occlusive-free moisturiser to lock in lasting hydration and reduce moisture loss.
- Always finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen to shield sensitive skin from UV and environmental aggressors.
- Patch-test all new skincare products behind the ear or along the jawline before applying them to the face.
