SENSITIVE, INTOLERANT OR REACTIVE SKIN, TAKE GENTLE CARE OF YOUR SKIN
Sensitized skin is actually skin that has "become" sensitive. It's a skin issue, not a skin type (which is classified from dry to oily). The good news is that it's reversible! Your skin can be considered sensitive if it's red, hot, tingly, inflamed, or reacts to ingredients or external factors like wind, cold, or heating.
Listen to your skin so you can react at the first signs. If you start to notice a change in your skin's texture or the appearance of redness, stop applying overly active products (such as acids, retinol, etc.) immediately and follow our dos and don'ts!

SWITCH TO LEDS
LED light therapy reduces inflammation and promotes repair and hydration. Red light soothes inflammation, while near-infrared light (which penetrates deeper) regenerates cells in the dermis and epidermis. It's fantastic for accelerating skin healing.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR SKIN BARRIER
This barrier acts like a shield, protecting the skin from external aggressors on one hand, and retaining moisture on the other. Sensitive skin is often a sign of a compromised skin barrier.

Like linoleic acid, calendula, borage oil, squalane…
CHOOSE NATURAL AND ORGANIC
For skincare and makeup of course, but also for your food or cleaning products, so as not to be exposed to numerous chemical substances.

OF WHICH
REDUCE SUN EXPOSURE
Most skin problems are caused by UV exposure: wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and skin sensitivity. Therefore, it is essential to wear sunscreen every day.
AVOID MECHANICAL EXFOLIATION
But also AHAs and retinoids until you no longer experience sensitivity. You can then gradually reintroduce these more active ingredients into your routine.
BANISH OVERLY HOT SHOWERS
And rinse your face with lukewarm water.
AVOID HARSH INGREDIENTS
Like alcohol, soap, perfume, emulsifiers, and synthetic ingredients. You won't find these ingredients in natural and organic skincare.
ELIMINATE STRESS
We are seeing more and more skin sensitized by stress. During periods of stress, the body secretes glucocorticoids, which impair cell renewal. The skin becomes fragile and therefore develops sensitivity.
HOW CAN I KNOW IF A SKINCARE PRODUCT WON'T IRRITATE MY SENSITIVE SKIN?
Test it on your neck first, as the skin is thinner there. If you don't experience any reaction on your neck, you can be sure you won't have one on your face.
