Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin occurs when the skin barrier is weakened or overreacts to environmental triggers. Common causes include genetics, harsh skincare products, pollution, stress, and extreme weather conditions.

Sensitive skin often feels tight, itchy, or stings easily. You may notice redness, dryness, or rashes after using certain products, exposure to the sun, or changes in weather.

Yes. Strengthening your skin barrier with gentle, hydrating products, avoiding irritants, and using daily SPF can reduce sensitivity and improve skin resilience over time.

Look for niacinamide, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and panthenol. These soothe irritation, boost hydration, and protect the skin barrier without causing reactions.

Yes. Diet can impact inflammation and skin health. Eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins can help maintain calmer, healthier skin.

Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser with lukewarm water. Avoid harsh scrubs, foaming cleansers, and products with alcohol or strong fragrances, which can trigger irritation.

Sensitive skin can tolerate actives, but it requires careful selection and gradual introduction. Low-strength formulations, patch testing, and supportive hydrating products help minimise irritation.
