Sensitive skin requires special attention. More fragile when exposed to external aggressions (cold, wind, pollution, stress), it can react quickly with redness, tingling, or discomfort. Using skincare products specifically formulated for this skin type helps preserve its balance and strengthen its tolerance on a daily basis.
Choosing suitable, gentle, and well-formulated skincare products is essential for limiting reactions and restoring comfort to the skin.
What is sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin is skin that reacts more easily than average to environmental factors or cosmetic products. It can affect all skin types: dry, combination, or oily.
Common causes of skin irritation
Climate changes (cold, sun, wind)
Use of overly aggressive skincare products
Stress and fatigue
Excessive cleansing
Exposure to pollution
These factors can damage the skin barrier and cause discomfort and redness.
Difference between sensitive skin and reactive skin
Sensitive skin is naturally more fragile. Reactive skin, on the other hand, has more intense and rapid reactions (marked heating, diffuse redness). Sensitive skin can become reactive if it is not properly cared for.
Identifying sensitive skin
The most common signs of sensitive skin are:
tightness,
localized or diffuse redness,
tingling after applying a skincare product,
discomfort after cleansing.

What routine should you follow if you have sensitive skin?
The priority is gentleness, simplicity, and regularity. Here are four steps to follow every day:
Gently cleanse: Choose gentle cleansing products such as Coco & Shea Cleansing Cream, Gentle Soap-Free Cleansing Bar, Micellar Water, or Plum & Oat Cleansing Oil.
Soothe and moisturize: You can choose Vitamin B12 & Prebiotics Serum or Aloe Vera Gel to help keep your skin comfortable. Concentrated 3.5% Hyaluronic Acid Serum or Hyaluronic Acid Serum Pearls help maintain hydration.
Strengthen the skin barrier: For nourishing and protective action, the Ceramide & Phytosterol Soothing Oleoserum or the Oat & Ceramide Lipid-Replenishing Balm provide softness and soothing relief.
Adapt according to your needs: If your skin is red, apply a toning lotion such as the one with 5% Niacinamide, Zinc & Hyaluronic Acid; or for overall comfort, opt for a cream with Hyaluronic Acid & Polyglutamic Acid. Finally, if you have fragile eyes, you can use the Concentrated Eye Contour Serum.
A gentle exfoliator such as Pomegranate & Rice Pearl Enzyme Face Scrub can be used every two weeks at most, avoiding excessive exfoliation.
Key ingredients for sensitive skin care
Certain active ingredients are particularly beneficial:
Ceramides & phytosterols: help strengthen the skin barrier.
Hyaluronic acid: helps maintain hydration and comfort.
Prebiotics & soothing active ingredients: support skin balance.
Gentle plant oils such as Sweet Almond Oil or certain skincare oils can also be added to your routine.

Expert advice for optimizing your sensitive skin care routine
Pay attention to the composition
Choose formulas without harsh ingredients and avoid products containing high levels of alcohol or strong fragrances if your skin is sensitive. Always introduce new skincare products gradually.
Adapt your skincare routine to the season
In winter, sensitive skin can become drier and uncomfortable: opt for more enveloping textures such as a lipid-replenishing balm or a precious face oil. In summer, choose light but protective textures.
