FAQs

  • Maintaining a gentle daily skincare routine will help to strengthen the skin barrier and maintain optimal hydration levels. If you have sensitive skin, you should use products with minimal formulas rich in ingredients that will soothe and strengthen your skin barrier. This will ensure you aren’t introducing additional irritants to the skin while providing it with optimum levels of hydration. It will also prevent sensitive skin from becoming dried out which can lead to further sensitivity.  
  • The skin barrier’s role is to retain water in the skin while keeping harmful elements out. When it becomes compromised, it’s unable to do this effectively. That’s why using skincare formulated with ingredients known for their ability to strengthen and soothe this barrier is vital. A few key ingredients to look out for are: urea, an ingredient that’s important to your skin’s Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF); peptides, an ingredient composed of amino acids; and ceramides, which make up to 50% of the lip layer on the epidermis. Hyaluronic acid is another effective humectant that can help to retain water in the skin and encourage a plump, supple texture.

  • When your skin is feeling particularly sensitive, you should avoid any skincare products that may further compromise the skin barrier and create irritation. This includes formulas containing harsher ingredients such as retinols, alpha-hydroxy acids, alcohol, essential oils and fragrance. Physical exfoliants and exfoliating cleansing pads are often too harsh for very sensitive and reactive skin and should be used with caution. Consult with a dermatologist for individual advice.
  • An ideal skincare routine for dry and sensitive skin should include products such as those from CeraVe with minimal formulas and plenty of hydration. Every skincare routine should begin with a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, impurities, and sebum. This will also create a clean canvas for the products that follow. A hydrating serum containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and ceramides will also deliver intense hydration to the epidermis while helping to strengthen the skin barrier and helps skin feel less sensitive. End your routine with a minimal yet very soothing moisturiser for dry, sensitive skin that will further lock in moisture and leave the skin feeling comfortable. A minimal formula such as CeraVe  will provide your skin with long-lasting moisture while feeling light on the skin. During the day, your final step should always be a broad-spectrum facial sunscreen. This will protect your skin from UV radiation and its associated free-radical damage.

  • One of the most common signs of skin sensitivity is uncomfortable sensations such as tightness, tingling, and dryness. Your skin may also become very dry and irritated or be more prone to flushing and blushing. Bumpy skin can also be a common sign of very sensitive skin.  
  • If your skin is regularly feeling sensitive, you need to identify what’s causing that feeling. You could be using skincare that is too harsh for your skin, bathing too often in very hot water, or be sensitive to a change in the weather. To identify potential triggers, go back to basics, using the most minimal of skincare and keeping a diary of how your skin feels each day. Note the types of foods you eat, what detergent you wash your clothes with, and the temperature outside. You should also note your emotions when a flareup occurs, as anger and stress can often cause skin reactions.
