The Ideal Skincare Routine for Sensitive Skin

Gentle. Effective. Backed by science — and available at Life.Kiwi.

Does your skin react easily? Redness, burning, tightness, or flaking may all be signs of sensitive or intolerant skin — a skin type that requires special attention and the right kind of products. At Life.Kiwi, we’ve selected gentle, dermatologist-recommended formulas that care for your skin barrier, reduce irritation, and restore comfort.

Here’s a complete routine for sensitive skin, using products you can find right now at Life.Kiwi:

🧼 1. Cleanse Gently – Morning & Evening

Sensitive skin needs a non-stripping cleanser that respects your skin’s natural barrier.

What we recommend:

Avène Tolerance Extremely Gentle Cleanser – fragrance-free, no-rinse formula

💧 2. Soothe with Thermal Water

A calming mist helps reduce redness and prep your skin for hydration.

What we recommend:

Uriage Thermal Water Spray – isotonic formula that respects skin balance

🧴 3. Hydrate & Strengthen Your Skin Barrier

Moisturising is key. Look for formulas with niacinamide, ceramides, or panthenol to protect and calm.

What we recommend:

SVR Sensifine Hydra-Crème – minimal formula, rich hydration

☀️ 4. Daily Sun Protection (Never Skip It!)

UV rays can worsen sensitivity. Choose sunscreens designed specifically for delicate skin.

What we recommend:

Heliocare 360 Mineral Tolerance Fluid SPF50 – very high protection, 100% mineral sunscreen

🚨 5. Emergency Care for Irritated Skin

If your skin is having a bad day, reach for a barrier-repair cream to calm and restore.

What we recommend:

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 – multi-purpose balm for dry, irritated areas
