Sensitive skin is often a symptom of a compromised skin barrier. When the lipid matrix is disrupted, external irritants, pollutants, and allergens easily penetrate, triggering redness, itching, and inflammation. The gold standard for sensitive skin is minimalism.

Ditch harsh foaming cleansers and opt for milky, non-foaming washes containing colloidal oatmeal or centella asiatica. Follow with a ceramide-rich barrier cream and mineral zinc-oxide SPF protection daily.
