Creating the perfect skincare routine for sensitive skin can be challenging, as it requires effective yet gentle products. This is because sensitive skin typically tends to react easily to harsh ingredients, leading to irritation, redness, or dryness. That’s why it’s crucial to use soothing, hydrating products designed to protect the skin’s natural barrier.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through an ideal skincare routine for sensitive skin, focusing on the best products for sensitive skin.
1. Remove Your Makeup
Thoroughly removing makeup is the first step in any skincare routine, and it's especially crucial for sensitive skin. Makeup can often contain harsh chemicals or clog pores, which can lead to irritation or breakouts. Start with a makeup remover that is gentle on the skin and will not cause friction or harsh scrubbing.
For sensitive skin, Gentle Milk Cleanser by Evans Dermalogical is an excellent option. It removes makeup as well as impurities without drying the skin. Moreover, its hydrating and soothing formula leaves skin feeling soft and soothed, making it a great addition to your skincare routine.
2. Cleanse with a Gentle Face Wash
Once your makeup is removed, the next step is to cleanse your skin with a gentle face wash. Using a cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils or cause irritation is crucial. Sensitive skin is more vulnerable to dryness, redness, and inflammation, so choose a product that cleanses effectively yet gently.
Our Gentle Cleansing Foam is the perfect cleanser for sensitive skin. Formulated with natural plant extracts, this gentle foaming cleanser contains just 10 ingredients. It effectively removes dirt and impurities while preserving the skin's moisture balance. Its soap-free, sulphate-free, and pH-balanced formula removes dirt without drying the skin, leaving it refreshed and hydrated.
3. Use an Alcohol-Free Toner
Toners help balance the skin’s pH levels, tighten pores, and provide hydration, making it an important step of the skincare routine. However, many toners on the market contain alcohol, which can dry and irritate sensitive skin. Thus, it is crucial to use an alcohol-free toner that will not harm or over-dry your skin.
In this regard, our Diamond Tomato® Beyond Toner is an excellent product for sensitive skin. It soothes and relieves irritation while providing the benefits of witch hazel, which acts as an astringent to tighten pores and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Additionally, the white tomato extract in the toner neutralises free radicals to protect the skin, reduces melanin synthesis, and offers antioxidant protection against UV rays. This ingredient helps brighten, lighten, and even out the skin tone, leaving it radiant and youthful.
4. Apply a Face Mask
Face masks are designed to give your skin an extra boost of hydration and nourishment. However, it’s important to use a sheet mask formulated for sensitive skin to avoid irritation. A hypoallergenic, paraben-free mask can provide the deep nourishment your skin needs without causing redness or discomfort.
Keeping sensitive skin in mind, our Diamond Tomato® range offers a variety of facial masks that are perfect for sensitive skin. These masks are not only paraben-free but also hypoallergenic, ensuring that your skin receives the benefits of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals without any irritation.
5. Use Face Serum
Face serums are a vital element of any skincare routine. They deliver a potent blend of active ingredients directly into the skin, targeting specific concerns like aging, pigmentation, and uneven texture. When buying a face serum for sensitive skin, it is crucial to choose the right serum, as some active ingredients can cause irritation or redness.
For example, our Diamond Tomato® Youth Serum is ideal for sensitive skin. It contains ascorbyl glucoside, a gentler form of vitamin C. This powerful antioxidant reduces dark spots, increases skin radiance, and evens skin tone. Additionally, the serum contains annona cherimola extract, which helps maintain balance in the skin and reduces sensitivity.
6. Moisturise your Face
Moisturising is one of the most critical steps in any skincare routine, including for individuals with sensitive skin. A good moisturiser can help lock the hydration and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.
However, for sensitive skin, it’s essential to choose a moisturiser that is not only rich in hydrating ingredients but also free from harsh chemicals or fragrances that could cause a reaction. Look for moisturisers that contain soothing and nourishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and plant-based oils that help you maintain skin hydration levels throughout the day while calming any irritation or redness.
7. Apply Sunblock
Using sun protection is recommended for everyone, regardless of skin type. UV rays can cause damage, irritation, and even pigmentation, which can harm all skin types. Thus, it's crucial to choose the perfect sunscreen that offers high protection. However, when selecting a sunblock for sensitive skin, it is essential to ensure the ingredients in the sunscreen are gentle on the skin.
Keeping this in mind, our range of sunscreen in Singapore includes excellent options for sensitive skin, such as Very High Protection SPF60+ Mineral Sunscreen and SPF50+ Sunscreen Milky Lotion. These sunscreens formulated with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide protect against UVA, UVB and blue light. Being 100% mineral sunscreens makes them ideal for sensitive skin as they are free from harsh chemicals.
