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.
