When sensitive skin reacts, some symptoms can include:
• Rough-textured, flaky patches of skin
• Dry, cracked skin
• Swelling of the skin
Your cleansing routine should be your opportunity to equip you to take on the day in soft, smooth, healthy-looking skin you’re comfortable to be in. So, because we believe skin cleansing should be as caring as any other part of your beauty routine, we’re delving into some top tips to help you address sensitive skin.
Sensitive Skin Care Routine
What is sensitive skin?
To create the best skin care routine for sensitive skin, we need to begin with an understanding of what sensitive skin is.
Sensitive skin like many other skin issues, is the result of a weakened skin barrier. Once the skin barrier is impaired, the skin’s moisture balance is disturbed resulting in a lack of sufficient moisture for the skin barrier to work effectively. As the skin barrier is unable to do its job of protecting the skin, your skin becomes vulnerable to external irritants such as certain fabrics and chemicals. As the skin comes in contact with external irritants, it becomes inflamed.
If your skin is prone to inflammation from contact with external irritants, you may have sensitive skin.
What is a good skin care routine for sensitive skin?
Your daily shower routine may be a great way to get clean, but it can also be an opportunity for sensitive skin to get triggered, causing an allergic reaction. At Dove, we believe that with every cleansing routine there lies an opportunity for you to practice some pampering skin care. Which is why our bath time products are formulated to leave your skin feeling smooth, soft and nourished.
What products can I use for sensitive skin?
A good skin care routine for sensitive skin is one that includes gentle cleansers and moisturisers that won’t irritate your skin, like our Dove Sensitive Beauty Bar.

A bonus tip to buff up your sensitive skin routine is by avoiding products with harsh chemicals or fragrances that can dry out and irritate your skin. Also, if certain clothing materials cause a skin reaction, opt for clothes made out of organic cotton instead as they are less harsh on sensitive skin.
If sensitive skin is an issue you’re dealing with, don’t stress. Simply identify and avoid practices and products that cause your skin to react. Look out for products specially formulated for sensitive skin like our Dove Sensitive Skincare range and welcome soft, moisturised, healthy-looking skin.
