Sensitive skin may react more easily to environmental conditions, certain skincare ingredients or changes in routine. Common experiences include tightness, dryness, stinging and temporary redness.

Cold weather, hot water, harsh cleansing and overusing active ingredients can contribute to discomfort.

A simple, consistent routine with gentle cleansing and appropriate moisturising can help maintain skin comfort and support its natural protective barrier.

When choosing skincare for sensitive-feeling skin, focus on ingredients that help maintain hydration and support the moisture barrier.

Ceramides — Help replenish lipids naturally found in the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss.

Hyaluronic Acid — Attracts and retains water, helping skin feel hydrated and supple.

Panthenol (Provitamin B5) — Known for its moisturising and skin-conditioning properties.

Glycerin — A humectant that helps draw moisture into the outer layers of skin.

Individual tolerance varies. Introduce new products gradually and consider patch testing before applying them more widely.

Answer DescriptionA gentle routine focuses on cleansing, hydration and protecting the skin without unnecessary complexity.

Morning

1. Cleanse with a mild cleanser or rinse with lukewarm water, depending on your skin's needs.
2. Apply a hydrating serum if comfortable for your skin.
3. Follow with a moisturiser to help maintain hydration.
4. Finish with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

Evening

1. Gently remove sunscreen, makeup and daily impurities.
2. Apply a hydrating serum if desired.
3. Finish with a moisturiser suited to your skin's needs.

Avoid introducing several new products at once, and reduce the use of potentially irritating active ingredients if your skin feels uncomfortable.
