Q — What products from The Skincare Company can I use for my sensitive skin and rosacea?

A — We have designed our range to be irritant, fragrance and synthetic preservative free with sensitive skins in mind. For your morning routine, our Daily Cleanser is a gentle cream cleanser that will not strip the skin and disrupt the protective acid mantle that is very important for skin health. (If you get that tight squeaky clean feeling after washing, you’ve probably just stripped away your acid mantle which increases your chances of skin damage and infection). Moisturiser with Sunscreen contains vitamin B3 for strengthening the skin, and helps to reduce pigmentation. Liquorice root extract and sunflower seed oil – mimic the healing cascade in the skin, and help reduce inflammation.

Specialty Serums to use in the morning: Vitamin C – strengthens, and contains zinc for anti-inflammatory effects. Hyaluronic Acid Vitamin B5 Serum is soothing, calming and healing for sensitive and reactive skin. Specialist tip: Mix Vitamin C with our our lightweight, super hydrating Hyaluronic B5 to reduce pH irritation on skin. For foundation try our Mineral Sheer Tint, it evens skin tone with a sheer natural radiance, as it nourishes, moisturises and protects.
Night routine: After cleansing, apply deeply nourishing and fast absorbing hydration booster CoQ10 oil that is ideal for sensitive skins and is formulated using potent antioxidants, vitamins and the highest quality oils. Vitamin A Cream is fantastic for sensitive skin as it excels as an antioxidant assisting in skin renewal and building skin strength. Our luxurious Hydrating Moisturiser excels in providing essential nourishment and is enriched with Vitamins B3, B5, E, A to provide superior antioxidant protection and moisture barrier.

Specialist tip: Vitamin B3 Serum – use sparingly, avoid: AHA/BHA serum, AHA/BHA Facial Scrub, Facial Mousse Cleanser
