Caring for sensitive skin can be challenging, but with the right approach, it’s absolutely manageable. Sensitive skin tends to react to environmental triggers, harsh ingredients, and even stress. That’s why a gentle, thoughtful skincare routine is essential.

In this guide, we’ll explore the best practices, recommended products, and expert tips to soothe and support sensitive skin.

Understanding Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is more reactive than other skin types. It can show up as redness, itching, dryness, or irritation, often due to:

inflamed skin on cheeks
  • Environmental stress (weather, pollution, UV rays)

  • Harsh ingredients (fragrance, alcohol, sulfates)

  • Emotional stress

  • Genetic conditions (eczema, rosacea, dermatitis)
