Hi everyone! Finding the right skincare for sensitive skin can be a real struggle. One wrong product and your face can break out in redness and irritation. I have sensitive skin too, and here are some products that work well for me without causing breakouts.
✔ Face Wash
Look for a gentle facial cleanser, and it's best to avoid exfoliating cleansers as they may be too harsh. As long as it can remove dirt and oil without stripping your skin, you're good to go.
✔ Hydrating Toner
Choose a toner that contains soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, centella asiatica, ceramide, and more. A good toner helps minimize pores and re-balance your skin's pH after cleansing.
✔ Essence
Essence is optional, but for me, the COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin is amazing for sensitive skin. It hydrates my skin and keeps it moisturized all day long.
✔ Serum
When it comes to serum, go for ones with calming and moisturizing ingredients to reduce irritation and boost hydration. Avoid brightening or strong active ingredients like salicylic acid, which may trigger reactions.
✔ Moisturizer
This is a step you should never skip! A moisturizer helps lock in hydration and protects the skin barrier. I recommend investing in a good moisturizer that improves your skin barrier and reduces redness. Ceramide-based moisturizers have helped calm my skin and reduce inflamed breakouts.
✔ Sunscreen
The final step in your daytime routine is sunscreen. It's essential for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays. Even if you stay indoors, sunscreen is still a must. Without it, sensitive skin can worsen when exposed to sunlight, so always wear sunscreen no matter where you are.
