Skincare Routine for Sensitive Skin
Less Is More
Sensitive skin thrives on simplicity. A 3-step routine outperforms a 7-step one when your barrier is compromised.
Cleanser: Cream or Milk
Avoid foaming cleansers with sulfates. Cream cleansers clean without stripping lipids.
Moisturizer: Ceramide-Based
Ceramides make up 50% of your skin barrier. Look for ceramide NP, AP, and EOP.
Sunscreen: Mineral Only
Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are less likely to cause reactions.
Ingredients to Avoid
Fragrance, essential oils, denatured alcohol, and high-concentration acids. Patch test everything.
