How To Care For Sensitive Skin
Revamp your beauty routine with our PS…Gentle skincare collection.
Despite what your social media feed may tell you, having a 10-step skincare routine isn’t for everybody. While we all enjoy the bliss moment of lighting a candle, getting into some cosy pyjamas and replenishing your skin with serums and face masks, keeping your skincare routine simple has its benefits — particularly for those who have sensitive skin.
What is Sensitive Skin?
The causes of sensitive skin can vary for each person. While some people are born with it, for others it’s certain ingredients, irritations, or even weather fronts that cause it to surface. The symptoms can lead to redness, dryness, swelling and even breakouts.
Say hello to our PS…Gentle collection. Infused with Vitamin E and soothing organic rose water, this range is designed to softly cleanse and replenish your face and body. Use individually to target specific areas or combine for a multi-step approach as part of your daily skincare regime – our guide below shows you how.
Step 1: Makeup Removal
There’s no better feeling than removing our makeup after a long day, right? So, for those after time-saving skincare staples, reach for our PS… Gentle Micellar Water or Cleansing Milk. Designed to gently remove makeup, dirt and debris from your complexion, simply dispense onto one of our reusable cleansing pads and wipe over your skin. With no harsh scrubbing or water required, our travel-size micellar water fits into your liquids bag for easy, on-the-go cleansing. Sold.
Step 2: Cleanse
For extra brownie points: double cleanse. A crucial step to ensure that all impurities are removed from your pores, use our PS… Gentle face cleansers to create a clean canvas for your makeup, serums and moisturisers. Dermatologically tested as part of our Primark skincare promise, our ultra-delicate face wash options will leave your skin feeling fresh, smooth and revitalised. Lather onto your skin before rinsing with lukewarm water. Then, apply a face toner – another must-have to help strengthen your skin barrier.
Step 3: Moisturise
When it comes to choosing the best moisturiser for reaction-prone skin, it’s key to steer clear of harsh fragrances, alcohol and rough exfoliants that may trigger sensitivity. Instead, opt for ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides and Vitamin E that will gently nourish, protect and re-build your skin barrier. Lucky for you, our PS…Gentle moisturiser ticks all the boxes…
Specially designed with a super-lightweight formula that’ll leave even the most sensitive of skin types feeling soft and supple, use morning and night or underneath your foundation for the dewiest glow, guaranteed!
