5-Skincare for Sensitive Skin

💧 Sensitive Skin Needs Gentle Love

If your skin reacts easily to weather changes, new products, or stress, you probably have sensitive skin — and that’s completely normal. What your skin needs is care, calm, and consistency.
At Radhikaya, we believe in healing through balance — inside and out. Here’s your expert morning and night skincare routine to keep sensitivity under control, restore your skin barrier, and reveal your natural glow.

🌞 Morning Routine – Protect & Hydrate

1. Gentle Cleanser

Start your day by cleansing away impurities without stripping your skin’s natural oils.
Recommended Products:

• Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

• La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser

Pro Tip: Use lukewarm water only — hot water can increase redness and dryness.

2. Hydrating Toner (Optional)

Choose alcohol-free toners with calming ingredients such as rose water, chamomile, or aloe vera.
Try: Klairs Supple Preparation Unscented Toner

3. Soothing Serum

Add lightweight serums rich in niacinamide, ceramides, or hyaluronic acid to strengthen your barrier.
Best Picks:

• The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

• COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence

4. Moisturizer – Lock in Hydration

Hydrate and protect your skin with a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
Recommended:

• CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion

• Aveeno Calm + Restore Oat Gel Moisturizer

5. Sunscreen – The Sensitive Skin Shield

Never skip sunscreen. Use mineral-based formulas with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for gentle protection.
Recommended:

• Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Face Mineral Sunscreen SPF 60+

• Bioderma Photoderm A.R. SPF 50+

Pro Tip: Reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours when outdoors.

🌙 Night Routine – Repair & Rejuvenate

1. Cleanse Gently

Double cleanse if you wear makeup — use a micellar water first, then a mild face cleanser.
Suggested: Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water

2. Soothing Toner or Mist

After cleansing, apply a hydrating mist or toner to prep your skin for treatments.

3. Calming Serum (Optional)

Soothe redness and irritation with Centella Asiatica (Cica), Panthenol, or Peptides.
Recommended: Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Serum

4. Night Moisturizer or Cream

Lock in moisture overnight with a barrier-repairing cream.
Try:

• Eucerin Advanced Repair Cream

• Avene Cicalfate Restorative Cream

5. Lip & Eye Care

Apply a hydrating lip balm and gentle eye cream before sleeping.

Pro Tip: Keep your bedroom cool and humidified to avoid nighttime dryness.

🥗 Best Diet for Sensitive Skin

Your skin reflects what you eat. Support your skincare routine with a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet.

Include:

✅ Omega-3 rich foods – salmon, walnuts, chia seeds
✅ Vitamin C – oranges, kiwi, bell peppers
✅ Antioxidants – green tea, berries
✅ Hydration – at least 8–10 glasses of water daily

Avoid:

🚫 Processed junk foods
🚫 Excess sugar and alcohol
🚫 Spicy or fried food
🚫 Dairy (if it triggers redness or acne)

Pro Tip: A cup of chamomile tea every evening helps soothe both your skin and mind.

⚠️ Precautions for Sensitive Skin

• Always patch test new products before applying.

• Avoid fragrance, alcohol, and harsh scrubs.

• Stick to a simple 4–5 step routine — less is more.

• Protect your skin daily with SPF and barrier repair.

• Keep your products consistent and don’t switch too often.
