Navigating sensitive skin? From unexpected redness to ongoing irritation and discomfort, addressing skin sensitivities calls for a gentle approach. Join us as we uncover the foundations of a gentle skincare ritual that will help you understand, nurture and protect your sensitive skin.
Tune into your skin sensitivities
Starting your sensitive skin journey means first getting to know what makes your skin tick. It's about spotting what sets off your skin, whether certain foods, stress, or environmental factors like pollution and extreme weather. Keeping an eye on how your skin reacts helps you figure out your skin's likes and dislikes. This isn't about avoiding anything that could potentially irritate your skin but more about understanding it better. With this knowledge, you can create a skincare ritual that protects against potential triggers and supports your skin's unique needs.
Embrace products loved and tested by others
When it comes to sensitive skin, opt for products with natural ingredients that have been rigorously tested. Jurlique's Calendula Face Oil, infused with farm-grown Calendula and Manuka Leaf, has been dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested. It nourishes and instantly soothes sensitive skin* while reducing redness** and improving resilience^.
Be gentle with your skin
Sensitive skin should be handled with care. Protect the delicate nature of your skin by gently pressing and smoothing skincare products onto your face and neck. Try to avoid abrasive exfoliators that can exacerbate sensitivity, and choose soft, soothing textures that glide over your skin.
Protect your skin from the sun
Sensitive skin is particularly vulnerable to the sun's harsh rays. Incorporate a broad-spectrum UV protection product into your daily routine to shield your skin from potential damage. A lightweight, sensitive-skin-friendly sunscreen can serve as your invisible armour against the sun.
Choose soft, breathable fabrics
Your skincare ritual extends beyond the products you apply. The fabrics that touch your skin can play an important role in your skin's well-being. Opt for soft, breathable materials like cotton or silk that help reduce the risk of irritation from friction or overheating.
Hydration is key
Hydration is at the heart of any sensitive skincare ritual. Drinking plenty of water helps ensure you are hydrated from the inside out, while the right skincare products can help repair the skin barrier and lock in moisture for a more supple, hydrated complexion. Remember, hydrated skin is happy skin.
Catering to sensitive skin sometimes requires a more thoughtful approach. By understanding your skin's unique needs, opting for tested, consumer backed products with natural origin ingredients, and being mindful of your environment and lifestyle choices, you can cultivate a skincare ritual that nurtures and protects, allowing your sensitive skin to flourish in its natural beauty.
