Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is often characterized by heightened reactions to products or environmental factors, leading to irritation, redness, or itchiness. Common signs include frequent redness, stinging, or burning sensations, especially after using products with fragrances, alcohol, or harsh chemicals. Sensitive skin may also feel dry or tight and is prone to blotchiness, small bumps, or flare-ups when exposed to heat, cold, or wind. If your skin frequently reacts negatively or feels uncomfortable after trying new products, you likely have sensitive skin.

To care for sensitive skin, integrate Korean beauty elements that are gentle and soothing. Start with a low-pH cleanser infused with calming ingredients like centella asiatica (cica) or mugwort to cleanse without irritation. Use a soothing toner with calendula extract or green tea to reduce redness and hydrate. Incorporate lightweight serums or ampoules containing panthenol, allantoin, or madecassoside, which repair and strengthen the skin barrier. Sheet masks with aloe vera or chamomile provide additional calming benefits. Finish with a fragrance-free moisturizer rich in ceramides and a sunscreen formulated for sensitive skin, such as those with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, to protect without causing further irritation.
