Debunking Sensitive Skin Myths

Sensitive skin can be challenging to manage, especially with so many myths circulating about what to do and what not to do. Let's debunk some of these common misconceptions and help you understand how to care for your sensitive skin properly.

 

Top Myths About Sensitive Skin: Debunked

 

Myth 1: Avoid All Actives

Not all actives are bad for sensitive skin! While some active ingredients can cause irritation, others can help build up the skin’s tolerance and alleviate inflammation. Look for peptides to strengthen your skin barrier and soothing, skin-supporting ingredients like squalane, prickly pear extract, and chia seed oil. These ingredients can provide the benefits your skin needs without causing irritation.

Myth 2: All Sensitive Skin is the Same

Just like every other skin type and concern, sensitive skin varies from person to person. It can be dry, oily, or a combination of both, and it can react differently to various triggers. With our dedicated Sensitive Skin range, you’re sure to find the perfect products to meet your unique needs and address your specific skin concerns.

Myth 3: Only Water Should Be Used on Sensitive Skin

Water alone isn't enough to clean the skin and won’t help improve sensitive skin conditions. Using only water can leave behind impurities and excess oils, which can lead to further irritation. Instead, choose a gentle face wash that helps to actively soothe your skin. A good cleanser will leave your skin feeling calmer, softer, and less irritated with each use.

Myth 5: Never Exfoliate Sensitive Skin

Gentle, careful exfoliation is beneficial for removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover, even for sensitive skin. Opt for an ultra-gentle exfoliator that uses jojoba beads to remove dead, flaky skin without causing irritation. Regular, gentle exfoliation can help keep your skin smooth and radiant.
