Skincare for Sensitive Skin

Who this guide is for

Is this guide right for you? Do you have:

  • Skin that feels tight, itchy, or reactive
  • Redness or stinging when trying new products
  • Breakouts triggered by fragrance or overuse
  • Feeling overwhelmed by complicated routines

This page is for anyone whose skin reacts easily, suddenly, or unpredictably, even if it didn’t used to. Sensitive skin can be caused by a damaged skin barrier, overuse of active ingredients, fragrance exposure, stress, seasonal changes, or simply doing too much at once. The purpose of this page is to help you simplify thoughtfully, and choose products that support your skin long-term rather than constantly reacting to flare-ups.

What sensitive skin needs (and what to skip)

  • Look for:

    • Fragrance-free formulas
    • Fewer, high-quality ingredients
    • Barrier-supporting oils
    • Products designed for daily use

  • Avoid:

    • Strong fragrances
    • Over-exfoliation
    • Layering too many actives
    • Constantly switching products

A Simple Routine for Sensitive Skin

  • Multiple containers of Erleia Humble Powder Cleanser on a bathroom counter - one is open, showing the shaker dispenser top

    Cleanse

    Use a mild, non-foaming cleanser like the Humble Powder Cleanser to cleanse without stripping.

  • Three Erleia face balms, including anti-aging and all-skin types, are arranged on a white dish, showcasing their earth-friendly packaging with shadows cast by nearby foliage.

    Moisturize

    Seal in hydration with a Face Balm, by applying directly to your skin or by warming a small amount between your fingers and pressing into damp skin.
