ZIAJA SKINCARE ADVICE

Sensitive skin – which skincare routine is right for you?

Sensitive skin may react more quickly to external influences or unsuitable skincare, with tightness, redness or discomfort. A short, gentle routine helps reduce unnecessary sources of irritation while supporting hydration and protection.

Typical signs

  • Skin reacts more often to new products, changes in weather or friction.
  • Tightness, redness or an uncomfortable burning sensation may develop more easily.
  • Dry or rough patches may also occur.
  • Sensitivity can occur with dry, normal, oily or combination skin.

Sensitive or temporarily irritated skin?

Not every short-term reaction automatically means that you have sensitive skin. The key distinction is whether your skin repeatedly reacts to different triggers or whether the irritation is only temporary.

Sensitive skin

  • Tends to react uncomfortably to various influences on a recurring basis
  • Can also be dry, normal, oily or combination skin
  • Usually benefits from a short, gentle routine
  • Additional needs, such as dryness or redness, are considered separately

Temporarily irritated skin

  • Can occur after an unsuitable product, overly intensive skincare or external influences
  • The reaction may settle when the trigger is removed
  • The routine should be simplified temporarily
  • Seek medical advice if symptoms are severe or persist

What does sensitive skin need in a daily routine?

Choose a routine that is as simple as possible: gentle cleansing, a well-tolerated moisturiser and suitable UV protection during the day. It is best to introduce new products one at a time so that you can more easily identify any reactions.

Morning

  1. Cleanse gently or, depending on how your skin feels, refresh it with water only
  2. Apply soothing day care
  3. Use suitable sun protection when exposed to additional UV radiation

Evening

  1. Gently remove makeup if needed
  2. Cleanse with a mild product
  3. Finish with soothing night care
  4. Optional: use a soothing mask once or twice a week

Frequently asked questions

Can sensitive skin also be oily or combination skin?

Yes. Sensitivity does not automatically describe how much sebum your skin produces. Oily and combination skin can also be sensitive.

Does sensitive skin need lots of active ingredients?

Not necessarily. A simple routine with mild cleansing, suitable skincare and UV protection is often a better foundation. Add any extra products selectively and one at a time.

What should I do if my skin suddenly reacts strongly to a product?

Stop using the suspected product initially and simplify your routine. Seek medical advice if symptoms are severe, persistent or getting worse.
