What is sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin is thin, delicate and reactive, and some people tend to experience redness, tightness or flushing. It is often genetic and runs in your family or it may be a temporary flare-up due to your skin’s protective barrier being disrupted. You need to be mindful when choosing products, avoiding harsh synthetic ingredients and fragrances, as they may tingle or burn. Sensitive skin needs a gentle approach and extra special care to soothe and strengthen.
Care tips for sensitive skin
Cleanse gently – use a non-foaming cleanser that removes impurities without stripping the skin.
Pro Tip: use lukewarm water and rinse to remove. If using a soft cloth, avoid rubbing the skin.
Moisturise generously - keep skin hydrated and your skin barrier intact.
Treat sensitivity first - choose products with ingredients that replenish, calm, soothe and strengthen.
Patch test - a great way to introduce a new product. Choose a small discreet place such as behind the ear to test the product. Apply, wait and observe. If you notice any redness, itchiness or other forms of inflammation, cease use immediately and ensure to wash off the product.
Sodashi’s Calm Collection has been designed with sensitive, irritated and reactive skin in mind. The collection harnesses natural ingredients that promote comfort, like Calendula, Chamomile, Sandalwood and Damask Rose that instantly soothe inflammation, reduce redness and support healing and repair at a cellular level.
