Dealing with acne and rosacea has been a challenge, especially finding products that don’t irritate. What’s your go-to routine for sensitive skin? I’ve heard fragrance-free and non-comedogenic products work best.
I’ve found that sticking to a minimalist routine really helps—less is more with sensitive skin! I cleanse with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser and follow up with a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Testing new products on a small patch of skin first has saved me from a lot of irritation. Stress management, like yoga, has also surprisingly helped reduce my flare-ups.
One thing I’ve learned is that timing matters just as much as the products themselves—applying skincare in a specific order can make a huge difference for sensitive skin. After cleansing, I let my skin dry completely before using a soothing serum with ingredients like niacinamide or centella asiatica, which calm redness without clogging pores. Sunscreen is non-negotiable, but I opt for mineral-based ones with zinc oxide—they’re less likely to sting. Also, gentle facial massage with clean hands has been a game-changer for reducing puffiness and promoting circulation. It’s all about finding that perfect rhythm for your skin’s needs!
