Sensitive skin

Sensitive skin requires special attention and care to strengthen its own protection and minimise irritation. Here are some basic skincare tips that take into account the needs of your sensitive skin and promote a healthy and radiant complexion.

The characteristics of sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is thin, tends to be dry and is extremely reactive to environmental factors such as wind, temperature fluctuations, lime or chlorine. Typical signs of sensitive skin are feelings of tightness, burning, tingling, discomfort and redness. The causes can be varied, from a weakened skin barrier to hormonal and environmental factors or pathological reasons such as neurodermatitis (atopic dermatitis) or rosacea.

Important principles for the care of sensitive skin

Use mild cleansers or almond oil for thorough cleansing so as not to stress your skin. Overly aggressive cleansing can destroy the skin's surface layer and lead to hypersensitivity.

In addition to sun protection in summer, effective protection against the cold is crucial in winter. Use rich ingredients such as shea butter, coconut oil and avocado oil to protect your skin from the harshest weather conditions

1. Mild cleansing: Use a gentle cleanser such as Grapefruit Cleansing Fluid or almond oil.
2. Toning: Use plant waters such as rose, chamomile or lavender blossom to soothe and moisturise your skin.
3. Soothing plant oils: If you notice that your skin is in need of rich care, you can apply a suitable plant oil to moisturised skin.
4. Moisturiser: Choose a soothing moisturiser such as Ultrasens Repair & Calm Cream or Ultrasens Anti-Redness Fluid
5. Sun protection or cold protection: Apply a suitable sunscreen or remember to protect the skin from wind and cold in harsh conditions.

1. Remove make-up: Use a gentle make-up remover such as Grapefruit Make-up Remover.
2. Gentle cleansing: Again, use a gentle cleanser such as Grapefruit Cleansing Fluid or almond oil.
3. Toning: Use plant waters such as rose, chamomile or lavender flower to soothe and moisturise your skin.
4. Soothing plant oils: If you notice that your skin is in need of rich care, you can apply a suitable plant oil to moist skin.
5. Moisturiser: Apply a soothing moisturiser such as Ultrasens Repair & Calm Cream.
