Sensitive skin is most prone to damaged if the skincare routine is skipped. Getting rashes and breakouts from being out and about in the sun and heat is very easy. Sensitive skin requires products with ingredients that protect the skin and strengthen the skin's barrier, all the while being gentle on the skin itself. Soothing ingredients like ceramides, aloe vera, and chamomile in skincare products are the best for this skin type as they don't irritate the skin, and add barriers that penetrate the skin to calm the irritation caused by pollutants, and the likes.
Follow the complete classic skincare ritual of cleansing, toning, serum, moisturiser and sunscreen without skipping any steps. But make sure to be gentle on your skin as you massage and dry the skin only by patting it with a microfibre towel to avoid further irritating the skin.
Start with a makeup cleanser that is not too harsh on the skin. Follow it up with an extra gentle cleanser and toner which are meant specifically for sensitive skin rather than going for the one for all skin types. Doing this ensures that you use products that not only get the job done, but also heal.
When it comes to a basic CTM routine, we blindly suggest the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser while the toner from Biocule has all the required ingredients, so you can go for it without a doubt.
Besides the general routine, also exfoliate the skin one twice a week since dust particles can penetrate and irritate the skin which isn't always removed by a mild cleanser. Since scrubs are easily irritable to sensitive skin, this one from Thalgo is the one to go for as it is formulated with ocean blue extract, phytic acid and jojoba oil to solve this exact issue.
Pro-tip: If you're not a fan of scrubs, opt for an AHA BHA peel
