Sensitive skin can be challenging to manage, but with the right approach, you can maintain a healthy and radiant complexion. At our skin clinic, we specialise in providing care for sensitive skin. In this blog, we'll discuss how to identify sensitive skin and common triggers, recommend gentle skincare routines and products, and highlight professional treatments suitable for sensitive skin.

Identifying Sensitive Skin and Common Triggers

Sensitive skin is characterised by heightened reactions to various factors. Here are some signs that you might have sensitive skin:

1. Redness and Irritation: Your skin frequently appears red or feels irritated, especially after using certain products.

2. Dryness and Flakiness: Sensitive skin often feels dry and can become flaky.

3. Burning or Stinging Sensations: You experience burning or stinging when applying skincare products.

4. Prone to Breakouts: Sensitive skin can be prone to breakouts and rashes.

Common triggers for sensitive skin include:

1. Harsh Chemicals: Ingredients like alcohol, fragrances, and preservatives can irritate sensitive skin.

2. Environmental Factors: Sun exposure, wind, and extreme temperatures can exacerbate sensitivity.

3. Stress: Emotional stress can trigger or worsen skin sensitivity.

4. Certain Foods: Spicy foods, alcohol, and dairy products can sometimes trigger skin reactions.

Gentle Skincare Routines and Products for Sensitive Skin

For sensitive skin, less is often more. A gentle skincare routine with soothing and non-irritating products is essential. We recommend the Lira Clinical BIO and MYSTIQ lines for their calming and nourishing properties.

1. Cleansing: Use a mild, hydrating cleanser like the Lira Clinical BIO Enzyme Cleanser. This gentle cleanser effectively removes impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils.

2. Serum: Apply a soothing serum to balance your skin's pH. The Lira Clinical BIO Hydra C Serum** is an excellent choice, offering hydration and calming benefits.

3. Moisturising: Keeping sensitive skin hydrated is crucial. Use the Lira Clinical BIO Caviar Creme to lock in moisture and provide antioxidant protection. This moisturiser is designed to be gentle and effective for sensitive skin.

4. Sun Protection: Daily SPF is a must to protect sensitive skin from harmful UV rays. Choose a mineral-based sunscreen like the Lira Clinical BIO Solar Shield 30 to avoid irritation.

5. Night Care: At night, use the Lira Clinical MYSTIQ Beauty Oil to nourish and repair your skin while you sleep. Its gentle formula is perfect for sensitive skin.

Professional Treatments Suitable for Sensitive Skin

Professional treatments can enhance the care of sensitive skin by providing deeper hydration, soothing irritation, and improving overall skin health. Here are some treatments we recommend:

1. Lira Clinical Facial Treatment: This treatment is designed to calm and rejuvenate sensitive skin. It uses gentle, soothing products from the Lira Clinical line to reduce redness, hydrate, and nourish the skin. Our skin therapists customise each facial to address your specific skin concerns.

2. LED Light Therapy: LED therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to soothe and heal sensitive skin. It can reduce inflammation, promote collagen production, and improve skin texture without causing irritation.
