Sensitive skin: soothe redness, tingling, and tightness

Redness, a sensation of heat, tingling, or tightness: when the skin reacts this way, it’s often a sign that its skin barrier has been compromised. Sensitive skin isn’t a distinct skin type, but rather a condition that can affect all skin types—including combination and oily skin. It can occur occasionally or become a more persistent issue, triggered by cold, heat, pollution, or products that are too harsh. In this column, Chrystelle Lannoy, founder of Gemology, explains how to recognize sensitive skin and help it regain its balance.

A short, gentle routine is usually enough to soothe sensitive skin—there’s no need to use multiple products. Smithsonite Concentrate, rich in zinc and combined with calcium from mother-of-pearl, helps support the skin barrier and strengthen its resistance to external aggressors.
