Skincare routine for sensitive skin

If anyone has ever told you that if you have sensitive skin, great skin is not possible, and you’ve believed them, I'd like to extend to you an apology. No one has the right to make one feel any less owing to their skin type. It’s rude and in this case, absolutely wrong. Because not only is it possible, it's absolutely achievable. 

Achieving and maintaining clear skin can be a challenge, from lifestyle to product choices and beyond, but with some patience and dedication, it is totally worth it in the long run. And when you’re doing everything right and your skin is still not behaving, it usually comes down to this: you’re either not using the products meant for your skin type, or not using them in an appropriate routine. 

But with the right mix of products and a routine that is consistently followed, you’ll be able to see a dramatic change in not only how your skin appears but also feels.You’ll be surprised and in awe at how your ‘troubled’ and ‘sensitive’ skin blooms into one that is radiant and glowing. 

So stick around and continue reading as we explore how the power of the right skincare regime can help you get that glow you've been wanting!

Best Practices When Starting a Skincare Routine for Sensitive skin type

If you have sensitive skin, starting a skincare routine can be intimidating. After all, with so many products out there, it's hard to know what will work best for your skin without the fear of breaking out and exacerbating things even further. Fortunately, there are several key steps that you can take to ensure the success of your skincare routine.

 First and foremost, it's important to get to know your skin type and its common triggers so that you can select products that won't cause any irritation or flare-ups. You have to pay extra attention to the ingredient list if you have sensitive skin. Secondly, be sure to include cleansers, treatments and moisturizers in your routine that are tailored to suit your specific skin type. Finally, remember that consistency is key when trying out a new skincare routine; it's important to stick with a routine until you see results!

Cleanser With the Right Balance for Sensitive Skin

Opting for the right cleanser is essential for sensitive skin. The goal is to find a balance between an aggressive cleanser and one that's too gentle; you want one that won't strip away moisture and be harsh on the skin, but will also effectively remove dirt and oil from your skin. Make it a habit to cleanse your face first thing in the morning and once right before bedtime. If you have sensitive skin, it is best to use cleansers which have lactic acid in them.  Despite being an exfoliant, what sets lactic acid apart is its gentle nature and hydrating properties which help in reducing skin irritation as well as inflammation. 

The Leovard Multicleanser is a great pick for sensitive skin owing to its fantastic ingredient list, containing hyaluronic acid, green tea as well as lactic acid. This cleanser also provides gentle exfoliation while maintaining appropriate hydration levels owing to the presence of nourishing botanical oils, giving your skin a refreshingly radiant look!

Exfoliate With Acids, Not Scrubs

If you're looking to get that radiant skin and glow, then it's time to switch up your exfoliation game. Scrubs can be quite harsh on your skin, so swap them out for gentle acids like glycolic or lactic acid instead. Acids penetrate deeper into the skin and can help to break down dead cells and impurities, giving you a brighter complexion.

The Leovard Multicleanser is a great product which provides gentle exfoliation and has been formulated using the goodness of lactic acid, helping to give the skin the glow and radiance it deserves. It also contains extracts from papaya that have the ability to slough away dead skin and diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation, giving you a youthful and glowy appearance.

Tone to Hydrate and Rebalance

One of the must-do steps, but the most neglected one is toning. After cleansing, toning helps to hydrate and rebalance your skin. It preps your skin for the products you layer on afterwards, and cleans away any remaining residue left on your face.

The best toners to use if you have sensitive skin are those that contain antioxidants and hydrating ingredients. Look for natural plant based ingredients like tea tree extract, witch hazel, chamomile extract, rosewater, and aloe vera to help soothe and calm inflammation and breakouts while also providing essential hydration. These will help give you a visible glow while dealing with sensitive skin.

Leovard’s Toner can be used as an everyday hydrating and nourishing pick-me-up because of its nourishing properties. It contains plant based ingredients such as witch hazel, green tea extracts and organic aloe vera, all of which bring out the best in sensitive skin, helping to heal, soothe, hydrate and nourish.

Moisturize to Add Extra Moisture and Nourishment

The next step in a skincare routine for sensitive skin should be a moisturizer. This is an essential part of the process because it adds extra moisture and nourishment to your yearning skin. Sensitive skin tends to act out more when it is feeling dry, flaky and tight, making it an essential step in skincare aimed at appeasing it. People with sensitive skin need a moisturizer more than anyone. However, it is important to choose a moisturizer that while having hydrating ingredients that will help in keeping the skin healthy by locking in moisture, won't clog the pores or cause it to break out.

The Leovard Multicream is a lightweight and non comedogenic moisturizer that is free from all artificial flavors and fragrances and does not clog up the pores. With hydrating and soothing ingredients like aloe, green tea and vitamin E, it is a perfect pick for those with sensitive skin.

Conclusion

In conclusion, caring for sensitive skin requires a gentle and tailored approach. By understanding your skin's specific needs, avoiding harsh ingredients, and following a consistent skincare routine, you can achieve a healthier and more radiant complexion.

Sensitive skin types should prioritize using mild products that are specifically formulated for this particular type. Incorporate products that are non comedogenic and fragrance free to ensure the products are gentle and won't cause any irritation, enabling your skin to bloom and blossom into its best possible form.
