Sensitive skin can be frustrating — redness, dryness, or irritation may flare up at the lightest touch.How to Treat Sensitive Skin on Face: BABOR’s Guide to Gentle SkincareBABOR Team8 October 2025

This guide explores how to treat sensitive skin on face, including proven care tips and BABOR’s specialised skincare for sensitive skin.

What Causes Sensitive Skin?

Sensitive skin is not a single condition but a tendency to overreact. Common triggers include:

  • Harsh cleansers or heavily fragranced products

  • Hot water or extreme weather conditions

  • Over-exfoliation or layering too many actives

Identifying what sets off your skin is the first step to managing sensitivity.

Skincare for Sensitive Skin — Key Tips

To keep irritation at bay, a gentle, simplified routine works best. Here are a few dermatologist-approved tips:

  • Cleanse lightly: Use a mild, soap-free cleanser with lukewarm water.

  • Moisturise daily: Hydration supports your skin’s barrier. Look for ceramides or aloe.

  • Patch-test first: Always test new products on a small area.

  • Stick to essentials: Focus on cleansing, moisturising, and sun protection.

  • Protect with SPF: A broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen is ideal for sensitive skin.

 

These simple steps form the foundation of effective skincare for sensitive skin.

BABOR’s Sensitive Routine

BABOR has created products tailored to delicate complexions. The BABOR Essentials Sensitive Routine set is designed to calm and restore the skin while strengthening its natural defences.

The set includes gentle formulations that:

 

  • Reduce redness and irritation

  • Provide long-lasting hydration

  • Support skin barrier recovery

A Simple Day and Night Routine

Here’s an easy routine to follow using sensitive-friendly products:

Morning

  • Cleanse with a gentle face wash

  • Apply a light, calming serum

  • Use a barrier-supporting moisturiser

  • Finish with SPF

Evening

  • Cleanse away impurities (double cleanse only if needed)

  • Apply a soothing treatment serum

  • Lock in hydration with a nourishing night cream

 

This approach keeps your skin cared for without overwhelming it.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When learning how to treat sensitive skin on face, it’s equally important to know what not to do:

  • Avoid hot showers that strip natural oils

  • Skip harsh scrubs or overuse of acids

  • Be wary of fragranced or alcohol-based products

  • Don’t introduce too many new products at once

 

By keeping things simple, you reduce the risk of flare-ups.

When to See a Dermatologist

If your skin remains reactive despite a gentle routine, it may be time to seek professional advice. Persistent redness, flaky patches, or swelling could indicate underlying issues that need targeted treatment.

Final Thoughts

Sensitive skin doesn’t have to hold you back. By choosing the right products, focusing on hydration, and simplifying your routine, you can reduce irritation and enjoy a calmer, healthier complexion.
