I don’t have particularly sensitive skin but it can get irritated from time to time. I have a handful of products that I reach for to help calm or soothe my skin so I thought I would round them up all in one post. Many of them are products I’ve been enjoying for the past year, but some are newer discoveries or things I’ve been using recently.
Skincare Products I Use To Soothe My Irritated Skin
Dieux Deliverance 3-in-1 Repair Serum
Dieux Deliverance serum is a 3-in-1 repair serum designed to target fine lines, irritation and hyperpigmentation. It’s a multi-tasking formula that works for nearly all skin types (especially sensitive skin types) and easily works in any skincare routine. It’s one of those serums that I already know I am going to go back to time and time again because of how effective yet gentle it is to use. I shared my full review here.
Dieux Skin Mercy Recovery Cream
All of Dieux moisturizers have some nourishing and calming properties, but this recovery cream is made with 1% collodial oatmeal for intense soothing. In addition to helping calm irritated or red skin, it has ingredients to help reduce itching. It’s a thick cream but still manages to feel lightweight on the skin while absorbing instantly. I now have and use all three Dieux moisturizers because they continuously perform so well for my skin!
Bloomeffects Royal Tulip Hydrating Bi-Phase Toner (discount code: Maree)
I use a milky toner in my skincare routine every single day – both morning and night. I love using them because they tend to add additional moisture with some soothing properties that my dry, mature skin needs. But this toner from Bloomeffects stands out to me as one of the most intensely soothing and calming toners I have ever used. It’s a bi-phase formula so be sure to shake it up before pouring it into the hands and pressing it onto the skin. There are ingredients like green tea which help to clarify the skin while collodial oatmeal and various dutch florals (chamomile, calendula and centella) help to calm any irritation.
Cocokind Calming Magnesium Facial Mist
I use facial mists every single day in both my morning and evening skincare routine as well as throughout the day to keep my skin well hydrated. While so many mists help with hydration only, the Calming Magnesium Facial Mist helps to calm stressed skin. The formula was designed for those with sensitive, reactive and acne-prone skin to help support the skin barrier while also refreshing the skin. I don’t have sensitive skin but my skin does get drier than ever before and this mist is absolutely amazing!
Sweet Chemistry Skin Barrier Repairing Hydra-Serum
This is a newer brand that I was introduced to but their entire ethos is around helping repair the skin. I immediately fell in love with this serum from the first night I tried it. It’s a rich texture that feels instantly soothing without being too heavy. In addition to helping improve skin barrier function, this serum helps increase density, hydration and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. But for me, I have been loving it’s ability to really calm and heal my skin when it’s feeling sensitive and/or irritated.
U Beauty The Barrier Bioactive Treatment (discount: MAREE20)
The texture of this overnight treatment may not be for everyone but I personally love it. It feels similar liquid balm with a slight ointment/salve texture that really speaks to it’s restorative properties. For those with dry, sensitive or mature skin, this is a phenomenal overnight treatment to use as your final step to really help rejuvenate, repair and intensely hydrate. Because it’s so rich, I only tend to use this when my skin is severely dehydrated or feeling irritated. It’s a great product to use in the dead of winter when your skin is painfully dry from the cold weather – it’s a miracle worker for that!
