Very sensitive skin and problem skin, such as that caused by neurodermatitis, can be a real challenge when looking for the right skin care. Products with ingredients that worsen the skin's appearance or excessive care routines can irritate the skin, cause itching and trigger eczema. But don't worry, with a few tips, the right products and the right order, daily skin care can become a pleasant routine even for sensitive skin.
HOW-TO
A skincare routine includes various steps for skin care, usually starting with cleansing, followed by several care steps for the face and lips. Sufficient sun protection rounds off the routine in the morning.
Here are our best skincare products for very sensitive skin:
1. Gentle facial cleansing with our med cleansing gel
Start your care routine by thoroughly cleansing your face with our med cleansing gel . The mild formula of skin-soothing bisabolol, moisture-retaining betaine, vegetable glycerin and vitamin E gently cleanses the skin without drying it out.
2. Moisturizing facial care with our med base cream
Then provide your skin with an extra portion of moisture for the day. The regulating care cream with a clean, reduced formula without fragrances is ideal for this, especially for very dry or itchy skin (for example with underlying neurodermatitis or rosacea).
3. Targeted support with our med wound cream
If you have weeping, moist or itchy wounds or slightly inflamed skin areas, you can supplement your care routine with our zinc-containing wound cream . On the face, it also supports the healing of small skin inflammations, such as those that can occur with pimples or blemishes.
4. Rich lip care with our med balm
Your lips also deserve your attention. Our med balm for particularly stressed and dry skin rounds off your morning care routine and gives your lips a subtle shine.
5. Sun protection for the day with our Sensitive sun cream
Don't forget to apply sunscreen! The right sun protection is always part of your daily skincare routine, especially in the spring and summer months. Our Sensitive sunscreen with SPF 50 offers you a high level of protection with a purely mineral zinc oxide filter. Take a look at our magazine for more information about our sunscreen.
Depending on the individual needs of your skin, you can of course always integrate additional steps and complementary products, such as face masks, facial oils or serums, into your skincare routine.
However, if you have sensitive skin or skin problems such as rosacea or neurodermatitis, we recommend that you avoid aggressive peelings as they could irritate the skin further. You should also use lukewarm water instead of very warm or hot water and avoid other individual trigger factors such as intensive drying as much as possible.
