Skincare for Sensitive Skin

Finding the right clean face products to add to your skin care routine can definitely take a lot of trial-and-error, especially for those with a sensitive skin type. With skin that's prone to redness and irritation, it can be difficult to look for skincare products that work with your skin sensitivity - not against it. Our advice? Avoid skincare products made with potentially harsh ingredients that can further cause skin irritation or contribute to a compromised skin barrier.

How do I know if I have sensitive skin?
Signs of sensitive skin include redness, itchiness, tightness, and stinging (especially when applying beauty products to the skin). If you struggle with skin sensitivity, you'll likely notice these symptoms affecting your face and body, especially as a result of a weakened skin barrier. Allergies or external factors (such as AHA overuse, sunburn, or temperature changes) can also contribute to irritated sensitive skin.

What causes sensitive skin?
While sensitive skin is a genetic trait, both external and internal factors can contribute to sensitive skin flare-ups. External factors can include sun exposure, weather changes, and certain beauty products, whereas internal factors like stress, lack of sleep, and lifestyle changes can contribute to skin sensitivity.

How do you exfoliate sensitive skin?
Exfoliation involves removing dead skin cells to help promote cell turnover. If done incorrectly, over-exfoliation can potentially damage the skin barrier and contribute to further redness and irritation for those with a sensitive skin type. To exfoliate sensitive skin, gradually integrate a gentle cleanser into your skincare routine. Make sure to avoid irritating ingredients, and apply a clean sunscreen after exfoliating.

What are the best ingredients for sensitive skin?
Skin-soothing ingredients that help support the skin's natural barrier work best for easily irritated skin. Featured ingredients include natural oils (Camellia oil, Sunflower Seed oil, Safflower oil), prebiotics, kelp extract, and Beta-Glucan.
