Sensitive Skin & Gentle Care
Make room for a routine that feels comfortable.
When your skin feels easily irritated, choosing products can become frustrating. Start by noticing what feels comfortable and what leaves your skin stinging, itchy, or flushed.
Sensitivity looks different from person to person. Fragrance, a particular ingredient, frequent exfoliation, or a combination of products may play a role. A simple routine can make it easier to recognize patterns.
Begin with Gentle Care
Set aside scrubs and exfoliating products when your skin is irritated. Keep cleansing gentle, use lukewarm water, and avoid rubbing with rough washcloths.
If fragrance bothers your skin, look for fragrance-free options. Botanical ingredients and essential oils can also cause reactions, so let your own experience and the ingredient list guide your choices.
If burning, itching, redness, or a rash continues, a dermatologist can help identify what is happening.
A Simple Starting Routine
Cleanse. Apply a mild cleanser with your fingertips, then rinse gently.
Moisturize. Choose a formula your skin tolerates comfortably.
Protect. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. A fragrance-free mineral sunscreen may be a comfortable option.
Introduce slowly. Test new products on a small area before applying them more widely. Avoid introducing several products at once.
A short note about what you used and how your skin felt can be helpful at your next appointment.
