If your skin gets red, itchy, or just freaks out when you try new products — you might have sensitive skin. Don’t worry! You’re not alone, and I’ve got you covered 💖
Sensitive skin just needs a little more love and the right products. Here’s how to build a routine that’s calming, simple, and actually works without causing drama 🧴✨

🧼 1. Choose a Gentle Cleanser
Skip anything with strong smells or foaming formulas — they can strip your skin and leave it dry and tight.
🧴 Minnie’s Picks:
- CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
- Simple Kind to Skin Refreshing Facial Wash
- La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser
💡 Tip: Wash with lukewarm water — not hot!
💧 2. Moisturise Like Your Life Depends on It

Sensitive skin LOVES moisture. It keeps your skin barrier happy and stops irritation.
Look for:
- Fragrance-free
- Alcohol-free
- Creamy but lightweight
🧴 Minnie’s Faves:
- Aveeno Calm & Restore Oat Gel Moisturiser
- La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5
- CeraVe Moisturising Cream

🌞 3. SPF is Still a Must!
Yes, even sensitive skin needs sunscreen — you just need the right one. Go for mineral/SPF for sensitive skin options.
🧴 Try:
- Garnier Ambre Solaire Sensitive Advanced SPF 50+
- La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid SPF 50+
- Eucerin Sensitive Protect Sun Fluid
💡 Avoid: Heavily scented or oily sunscreens.
🧴 4. Keep It Simple!

The less you use, the better. Stick to:
- Cleanser
- Moisturiser
- SPF (in the morning)
🌸 Avoid:
- Harsh scrubs
- Alcohol-based toners
- Random TikTok trends with lemon juice or toothpaste 🙅♀️
🧪 5. Try Barrier-Boosting Ingredients

If you want to add something gentle, try products with:
- Niacinamide (for redness + calming)
- Ceramides (for moisture + repair)
- Centella Asiatica or Aloe Vera (soothing)
🧴 But remember: always patch test first!
