Start with a fragrance-free, sulfate-free gentle cleanser that removes dirt without stripping your skin barrier. Look for ingredients like glycerin or chamomile extract.
Use an alcohol-free, hydrating toner with calming ingredients like rose water, aloe vera, or cucumber. This helps balance your skin's pH and preps it for the next steps.
Apply a lightweight serum with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or Centella Asiatica. These help hydrate and soothe without causing flare-ups.
Opt for a rich but non-comedogenic moisturizer packed with ceramides, squalane, or shea butter. This will help strengthen your skin barrier and lock in moisture.
If you have dryness or irritation around the eyes, use a fragrance-free, gentle eye cream with peptides or caffeine to depuff without irritation.
Never skip sunscreen! Choose a mineral sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) as it's less likely to irritate sensitive skin compared to chemical sunscreens.
Once or twice a week, treat your skin to a calming mask with ingredients like oatmeal, honey, or aloe vera. Avoid clay masks or anything harsh.
