How do you know if you have sensitive skin? People with sensitive skin tend to experience redness, little bumps and rashes, dry or easily irritated areas and occasional burning or stinging sensations upon contact with certain skincare products.
So if you nodded yes to one or more of those symptoms, you should be using specific skincare products that are specially tailored for sensitive skin. Read this to better understand sensitive skin, and how you can care for it.
At Clarins, we have a carefully curated selection of face treatment oils to reduce redness and calm itchy or irritated skin. Instead of harsh chemicals, we use plant- powered essential oils that are safe and effective for sensitive skin.
If you're looking to get rid of redness on the face, you'll love our Calm-Essentiel Restoring Treatment Oil, containing a potent blend of 95% to 98% natural ingredients, such as Clary Sage extracts and Organic Apricot Oil. This gentle, quick- absorbing face treatment oil is perfect for sensitive skin because it soothes the skin, reduces redness and relieves sensations of tightness and discomfort all in a single step.
Organic Apricot Oil is well-known for its nourishing properties, while Clary Sage provides anti-inflammatory benefits to protect the skin against bacteria. Widely praised as a face oil that calms itchy or irritated skin, it intensely moisturises and comforts even the most reactive skin. So if you want to reduce redness or itching, our skincare experts recommend using this face oil alone as a treatment for 10 to 20 days.
For the best results, use this on your face and neck before bedtime. Warm the product between your fingertips and inhale to enjoy the pleasant aroma of Clary Sage extracts. Then, gently smooth the oil over your face and neck to soothe the skin.
Another gentle face oil that reduces redness and alleviates skin irritations is the Santal Face Treatment Oil. This is a Clarins classic that never fails to impress. Formulated with an aromatic cocktail of Lavender, Sandalwood and Cardamom, it wastes no time in soothing and nourishing dry and sensitive skin.
This non-comedogenic face oil also helps to tone and decongest stressed skin. Hazelnut Oil prevents dehydration, Sandalwood soothes redness, while Lavender Oil combines aromatherapeutic and anti-inflammatory properties that calm both your skin and senses. Apply it on cleansed skin in the morning and evening.
