Sensitive Skin? Here’s Your Natural Solution

If you’re tired of tackling skin concerns, it’s time to take stock and think about switching up your skincare routine.

Healthier, clearer skin doesn’t have to mean a lot of work, but the right tools are essential, especially for sensitive skin.

Sensitive skin signs & common culprits

If you’re constantly experiencing rashes, bumps, blisters, burning, tingling, peeling, or itchy, dry or raised skin, chances are your skin is sensitive. While it’s a common complaint, it can be exasperating.

You may not always know what’s triggering an issue, but it’s often linked to synthetic (non-natural) ingredients in the products we use and over cleansing skin, which strips it of essential natural oils, damaging the barrier.

Consider:

• Soap & other cleansers you use
• Your makeup / home cleaning products / fabrics
• Heating & cooling systems
• The weather
• The water you’re using
• Stress
• Exposure to Australia’s harsh sun

Soothing Sensitive Skin

#1 Go all natural

Fragrance-free skincare products made from natural ingredients are gentler on skin, our body’s largest organ.

No matter the product, you can achieve the desired effect without the downside of artificial ingredients. Look for brands or products designed for sensitive skin and ones that incorporate potent healers from Mother Earth.

#2 Simplify skincare

Taking care of skin effectively doesn’t have to be complicated and, with sensitive skin, less is more. Find mild, reliable products that won’t aggravate your skin and stick with them, including when away from home.

If you’ve tried simplifying your routine but are still suffering from symptoms, visit your doctor for a dermatologist referral.

#3 Protect your skin barrier

Our skin exists to guard what’s inside us, so this barrier is integral to good health.

With sensitive skin, the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin) isn’t as robust as it could be, allowing irritants to reach deeper layers. It’s key to protect it from environmental stressors. This looks like:

• Using sunscreen, hats, clothing and shade to protect from the sun
• Staying out of the wind/cold
• Avoiding/reducing chemical use
• Simplified, natural skincare
• Moisturising the skin
• Staying hydrated & eating a balanced diet
• Keeping stress levels low
