Use a mild, soap-free facial cleanser with gentle surfactants and soothing, non-irritating ingredients to protect your skin. Frequent washing of your face can irritate your skin. Once or twice a day is sufficient. A facial toner can help to soothe the skin, moisturize it and prevent redness, irritation and inflammation. The Creyan Balancing Toner, for example, can be used in the morning as a micellar water instead of a facial cleanser.
Afterwards, it is recommended to use an oil-free moisturizing serum or cream to provide the skin with deep hydration. Look for ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, ectoin, glycerin or aloe vera, as they provide moisture and have soothing properties. This strengthens the skin's protective barrier.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 daily to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Choose a sunscreen that is specially formulated for sensitive skin.
For the evening routine, a nourishing and soothing cream with MSM and skin-identical lipids is recommended. MSM has anti-inflammatory effects, sustainably improves the complexion, and reduces redness and irritation. Repairing ingredients help to stabilize the hydrolipid film and ensure balanced and supple skin in the morning. Tip: This restorative cream can be used both as a mask and as a 24-hour cream.
Avoid irritating ingredients such as sulfates, PEGs, etc. Natural ingredients like green tea, aloe vera, vitamin B5, and niacinamide can have a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect.
If you want to try a new product, perform a patch test by applying a small amount of the product to an inconspicuous area of your skin. Check for redness, itching, or other reactions before applying it to your face.
