Do You Have Sensitive Skin?
When you’re dealing with sensitive skin, concerns like redness, dryness, tightness, or unexpected flare-ups are your complexion’s way of saying, “Something isn’t quite right.” Navigating sensitive skin isn’t just about avoiding irritation - it’s about curating a ritual that calms, protects, and elevates your daily self care experience.
KEEP YOUR ROUTINE SIMPLE
Less is more. Avoid using too many products or constantly switching routines. Stick to a few high-quality, gentle formulas that your skin can rely on daily.
To take the stress out of your skincare ritual, we’ve selected 4 products just for you. View the Sensitive Skin Ritual.
USE A GENTLE CLEANSER
Choose a non-foaming, fragrance-free cleanser. It should clean your skin without stripping away natural oils. Look for soothing ingredients like oat, chamomile, or aloe.
Shop the Silkening Creamy Moisture Cleanse for a natural dose of AHA’s and nourishing Cupuacu Butter.
AVOID HARSH INGREDIENTS
Skip products with alcohol, artificial fragrance, exfoliating acids, and strong retinoids unless they’re formulated for sensitive skin. These can trigger irritation. At Amala we always formulate with ingredients that nourish and protect the microbiome, with extra soothing ingredients found in our Sensitive Skin Ritual.
MOISTURIZE DAILY
Sensitive skin often means a compromised barrier. Use a calming moisturizer that hydrates and protects, with ingredients like ceramides, squalane, or shea butter.
The Hydro Comfort Omega-Rich Moisturizer features our Yerba Santa Biotic Infusion that features Vitamin F and Hemp Seed to calm irritation and aid in protection.
KEEP SKIN PLUMP
When dealing with sensitive skin concerns, hydration is your friend. By layering your hydration and infusing skin with actives that plump, protect and strengthen the skin barrier, you’re increasing resilience and combating visual impacts of these sensitivities.
We recommend the Skin Plumping Hyaluronic Serum - an ultra-hydrating formula that features low and high molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid to penetrate all layers of the skin with optimal hydration.
TEST NEW PRODUCTS FIRST
Always patch test a new product on a small area of your skin before using it all over your face. Give it 24 hours to see how your skin reacts, then decide if you will keep it in your skincare ritual.
BE GENTLE
Don’t scrub, tug, or over-wash. Use lukewarm water, soft towels, and gentle motions when applying skincare.
