WHAT'S GOING ON?

Sometimes skin just needs a simpler routine.

Skin can feel sensitive for different reasons including over-cleansing, introducing too many products at once, environmental changes or using products that don't suit your skin. If your skin feels uncomfortable or easily irritated, simplify your routine and introduce products gradually so it's easier to understand how your skin responds.

WHAT YOUR SKIN NEEDS

KEEP IT GENTLE

Avoid over-cleansing or constantly changing products when your skin already feels uncomfortable.

SIMPLIFY YOUR ROUTINE

Start with the essentials and introduce additional products one at a time rather than all at once.

LISTEN TO YOUR SKIN

If a product causes persistent discomfort or irritation, stop using it and reassess your routine.

YOUR SIMPLE ROUTINE

  • STEP 01

    CLEANSE

    Keep cleansing gentle and avoid repeatedly washing skin that already feels uncomfortable.

  • STEP 02

    HYDRATE

    Add a light hydration step after cleansing and pay attention to how your skin responds.

  • STEP 03

    TREAT

    If your skin is comfortable with the basics, introduce targeted products such as Glow Fuel gradually rather than adding several new products at once.

  • STEP 04

    MOISTURISE

    Follow with moisturiser to help keep skin feeling soft, comfortable and hydrated.

  • STEP 05

    PROTECT

    Use daily sun protection as the final step of your morning routine.

EVENING

Cleanse → Hydrate → Treat → Moisturise

At night, follow your routine through to moisturising. Treatment steps can be adjusted to suit your skin.

EXTRA CARE

Give your skin a little extra support.

When skin feels easily irritated, keep things simple. Focus on the products your skin is comfortable with and use moisturiser consistently to help keep skin feeling soft and hydrated.

TEEN SKIN TIP

Introduce one thing at a time.

Adding several new products together makes it difficult to know what your skin likes. Introduce new products gradually and consider patch testing before adding them to your full routine.

GOOD TO KNOW

Skin that frequently feels uncomfortable, stings, burns, becomes noticeably red or reacts to products may need a gentler approach. Because several different skin conditions can cause similar symptoms, persistent or significant reactions should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist.

If a particular product appears to cause irritation, stop using that product. Simplifying your routine can make it easier to understand what may be causing the problem. Seek professional advice if irritation is severe or persistent.

If your skin is easily irritated, introducing new products gradually and patch testing before wider use can help you see how your skin responds.

Not necessarily. If your skin is feeling sensitive or easily irritated, focus first on a simple routine. Additional treatment products can be introduced gradually once your skin feels comfortable with the basics.

Seek professional advice if irritation is severe, painful, persistent or worsening, or if you experience swelling, blistering, a significant rash or other symptoms that concern you.
