What is skin sensitivity?
Skin sensitivity can look different from person to person and can be caused by several factors including the environment and exposure to certain products. Some of the common “sensitive skin” signs include:
- Dryness & Dullness
- Post-Shaving Irritation
- Red Post-Acne Marks
- Easily Irritated Skin
- Ongoing Redness
- Visibly Irritated Skin
- Damaged Skin Barrier
Can different skin types experience skin sensitivity?
Any skin type can experience skin sensitivity, including oily, dry or combination skin. Regardless of your skin type, you’ll want to upgrade your skincare routine with formulas that can address the signs of sensitive skin and help prevent them in the future.
What is the best skincare routine for sensitive skin?
Your skincare routine may look different depending on your skin type and the unique signs you’re experiencing. There are some steps and products, however, that any skin type dealing with skin sensitivity shouldn’t skip out on. Our favourite is Advanced Night Repair Rescue Solution.
Morning Skincare Routine For Sensitive Skin
Step 1: Gentle Cleanser
Try a gentle cleanser that won’t strip the skin of its natural oils while protecting your skin’s barrier like Perfectly Clean Creme Cleanser/Moisture Mask or Soft Clean Moisture Rich Foaming Cleanser.
Pro-tip: Since scalding hot water can be irritating for sensitive skin types, use lukewarm or cold water to rinse your face.
Step 2: Treatment Lotion
A toner or treatment lotion can provide additional soothing, skin nourishing benefits. For normal to dry skin types, try Micro Essence Treatment Lotion with Bio-Ferment. If you have normal to oily skin, you’ll love Micro Essence Treatment Lotion with Sakura Ferment. Both formulas help soothe skin and fight visible redness while protecting and strengthening skin’s barrier.
Step 3: Skin Sensitivity Specialist
A skin treatment like Advanced Night Repair Rescue Solution can be your answer to managing skin sensitivity.
This breakthrough from our best-selling Advanced Night Repair Collection is specifically formulated for sensitive skin. It’s infused with the high-performance exclusive peptide of our star serum.
