Episode notes
Soothe, Don't Scrub Sensitive Skin
- When your skin is red and inflamed, avoid over-exfoliating and harsh treatments like retinol temporarily.
- Soothing your skin and giving it a break is crucial; retinol and other actives will still be effective later.
Sensitive Skin Is Chronic Inflammation
- Sensitive skin is often a chronic inflammatory condition like rosacea or eczema linked to genetics.
- It can flare unpredictably and requires managing triggers rather than expecting complete cure.
Avoid Common Triggers for Sensitive Skin
- Avoid fragrance, drying alcohols, and harsh scrubs to prevent irritation with sensitive skin.
- Choose mineral sunscreens over chemical ones, and pause active exfoliants during flare-ups for skin recovery.
