10 Tips for Sensitive Skin
Simplify your routine
Sensitive skin can be easily overwhelmed by a complex skincare routine. Stick to gentle cleansers and fragrance-free moisturizers.
Identify your triggers
Common culprits include fragrances, alcohol, harsh chemicals, and even some botanical extracts.
Cleanse gently
Wash your face twice daily with lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser formulated for sensitive skin.
Moisturize religiously
Apply a fragrance-free moisturizer twice daily, and look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides that help retain hydration.
Patch test new products
Before applying a new product to your entire face, do a patch test on a small area like your inner arm.
Sun protection
Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher formulated for sensitive skin.
Be cautious with exfoliation
Opt for gentle chemical exfoliants with AHAs (like lactic acid) or BHAs (like salicylic acid) a few times a week.
Manage stress
Stress can trigger flare-ups of sensitivity. Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as exercise, meditation, or yoga.
Lukewarm showers
Opt for lukewarm water and keep showers brief to avoid drying out your skin.
Don't pick or scratch
It might be tempting, but scratching irritated skin can worsen inflammation.
