Frequently asked questions
What causes sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin can be due to genetics, a weakened skin barrier, allergies, or conditions like rosacea and eczema. Environmental stressors, harsh skincare products, and lifestyle factors can also trigger flare-ups. Identifying triggers and using gentle, soothing products is key to keeping skin calm.
How can I tell if I have sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin often reacts quickly to products or environmental changes, showing redness, stinging, itching, or dryness. Patch testing new products and tracking your skin’s reactions can help confirm sensitivity and guide you toward a gentler skincare routine.
What ingredients should I avoid with sensitive skin?

Fragrance, alcohol, strong acids, and harsh sulfates are common irritants. Instead, opt for products with calming ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, oat extract, or centella asiatica. Minimalist formulas are best to reduce the chance of reactions.
What’s the best cleanser for sensitive skin?

A gentle, pH-balanced, sulfate-free cleanser is ideal. Cream or lotion textures can cleanse without stripping natural oils. Avoid foaming cleansers with strong surfactants, which can disrupt the skin barrier and cause irritation or dryness.
Should sensitive skin exfoliate?

Yes, but choose gentle options like lactic acid, mandelic acid, or enzyme exfoliants. Limit exfoliation to once a week and avoid abrasive scrubs. Over-exfoliating can damage the barrier, making skin more prone to irritation and sensitivity.
What’s the best moisturiser for sensitive skin?

Look for fragrance-free, hypoallergenic creams containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and squalane. These ingredients hydrate and repair without clogging pores or causing flare-ups. Richer textures can protect against environmental stressors.
How can I soothe irritated skin quickly?

Apply a cool compress, then use a fragrance-free moisturiser with calming ingredients like aloe vera or oat extract. Avoid active treatments until the irritation subsides. Keeping products simple and gentle allows the skin to recover faster.
Does diet affect sensitive skin?

Yes, spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine, and highly processed foods may worsen sensitivity in some people. A diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and anti-inflammatory foods can support a stronger skin barrier and reduce flare-ups over time.
Can sensitive skin use active ingredients?

Yes, but introduce them slowly and choose lower concentrations. Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and azelaic acid are generally well-tolerated. Always patch test and monitor for any signs of irritation before regular use in your routine.
Should I change my routine in different seasons?

Yes, cold weather may require richer creams, while hot, humid climates may need lighter hydration. Seasonal changes can affect skin’s sensitivity levels, so adjust your products accordingly to maintain comfort and protection year-round.
