Natural solutions sensitive skin

More people than ever consider themselves to have sensitive skin, and a recent European study found that up to 52% of participants reported a sensitivity of some kind.

Common signs of sensitive skin:

• Often feels tight and uncomfortable
• Is sometimes sore or sensitive to touch
• Needs extra hydration in winter
• Dries out during flights
• Has patches of redness that may or may not fade
• Has areas of uneven texture, with dryness and flakiness
• Reacts to skincare products
• Becomes itchy or develops a rash after contact with irritants
• Can feel itchy after wearing course, synthetic fabrics
• Turns red and dries out after a hot shower or bath
• Becomes irritable after continued washing with hard water

Sensitive skin is caused by nerve endings in the top layer of skin becoming irritated. This occurs because your skin’s natural barrier function is weakened and has broken down due to a trigger. Those triggers can be anything from stress, sun damage, your genetic make up, or a million other things.

The severity of skin sensitivity, however, can vary from occasional reactions to extreme sensitivity that occurs on a daily basis. This kind of everyday reaction can cause discomfort, dry, flaky patches, blemishes, and redness.

The ingredients in your skincare and cosmetics play a major role and can be a common cause of irritation. Synthetic fragrance is the number one allergenic ingredient in personal care and beauty products and should be avoided altogether. The simpler the product, the better when it comes to sensitive skin. All of our products are made with all natural ingredients and free of irritants, but for especially sensitive people, we recommend the products shown below for their simplicity and gentleness.
