Daily Sensitive Skin Routine (Simple & Gentle)

The best skincare routine for sensitive skin focuses on fragrance-free cleansing, hydration-first serums, and barrier-supporting moisturizers while avoiding over-exfoliation and harsh actives.

Morning Routine

1. Cleanse with Organic Sensitive Skin Cleanser.
2. Spritz Rose Water Citrus Twist Toner (rose hydrosol + aloe).
3. Hydrate with Organic Hyaluronic Acid Serum.
4. Moisturize + protect with a mineral SPF like Vitamin C SPF 30 Cream .

Evening Routine

1. Gently cleanse again with the Sensitive Skin Cleanser.
2. Apply a calming hydrator like Hyaluronic Acid Serum.
3. Moisturize with Organic Eczema Lotion for barrier support.

If your sensitive skin includes frequent flare-ups, itching, or diagnosed conditions, follow our Eczema Skincare Routine (AM + PM) for more targeted, barrier-repair-focused guidance.

Weekly Care

Sensitive Skin FAQs

What helps calm redness?

Redness-prone skin does best with fragrance-free, alcohol-free formulas and botanicals like aloe, oat, chamomile, and rose hydrosol.

Try our Organic Sensitive Skin Cleanser, Rose Water Citrus Twist Toner, and Hyaluronic Acid Serum for a simple redness-calming trio.

How long before sensitive skin sees relief?

Hydration and soothing textures bring instant comfort, but redness, dryness, and flaking typically improve with consistent use over 2–4 weeks. Introduce new products slowly, patch test, and avoid over-exfoliating.

More Sensitive Skin Questions

Is rosacea the same as sensitive skin?

Not exactly — rosacea is a chronic inflammatory condition, while “sensitive skin” refers to reactivity. Care recommendations overlap but triggers differ.

Should I exfoliate if my skin is sensitive?

Yes — but gently and not during a flare. Choose mild AHAs and avoid scrubs. Always follow with hydrating, barrier-supporting care.
