What is sensitive skin? care and products.

What is sensitive skin? Our beautician shares great care advice and product tips for those of you with sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is a condition where the skin easily reacts to external influences such as weather, temperature changes, pollution or strong skin care products. It can feel tight, itchy, sting or become red.

Cause

The cause of sensitive skin can be both genetic and environmental. Here in Norway we have a harsh climate with long cold periods, weather and wind. Some people have a naturally thin and delicate skin barrier, while others get sensitivity after using products that are too strong or exfoliating too much. Regardless of the cause, sensitive skin deserves gentle, soothing and fragrance-free products that help the skin return to balance.

How to treat sensitive skin?

• Use mild, fragrance-free products
  Perfume, essential oils, alcohol and strong preservatives can easily trigger sensitive skin. Choose fragrance-free products that are specifically designed for sensitive skin.
• Effective ingredients that treat without irritating
  Ingredients like ectoin, ceramides, niacinamide and plant oils protect and strengthen the skin barrier without causing reactions. They help the skin retain moisture, reduce inflammation and protect against environmental influences.
• Strengthen the skin barrier
  Sensitive skin needs extra moisture and protection. A strong skin barrier makes the skin more resistant to external stress and reduces redness and discomfort.
