Everyone’s skin is almost as unique as their fingerprints, but there are four general skin types (besides normal skin): combination, dry, oily, and sensitive. Figuring out and understanding the type of skin you have will help you determine morning and night skincare routines that work for you to suit your skin’s needs and help you reach any skin goals you have. Just like how our bodies change as we age, so does our skin, which means your skin type can change as you age. Your skin type is determined by a few things:

• The amount of water in your skin
  • This affects comfort and elasticity of your skin
• The amount of oil in or on your skin
  • This affects the softness and smoothness of your skin
• The level of sensitivity your skin is.

People with sensitive skin typically have triggers that cause redness, itching, burning, dryness, and general irritation. These triggers can be certain skincare products, environment, foods consumed, etc. It’s best to figure out what makes the sensitive skin worse and avoid that trigger as well as possible. This is difficult skin type to navigate and find a suitable skincare routine for. However, professional-grade products like KS Esthetics are formulated with natural ingredients that are safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Our professional skincare line helps balance and soothe to leave you with healthy, glowing skin!

Morning Skincare Routine for Sensitive Skin

1. Exfoliating Cream Cleanser
   • This cleanser will add hydration to the skin while gently cleansing and soothing inflammation and irritation.
2. Hydrating Serum
   • The hyaluronic acid within this product is an excellent hydrator and is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.
3. Replenish Moisturizing Cream
   • This product is very hydrating and moisturizing for all skin types. It is pH balanced and formulated with a blend of botanical and essential oils to soothe, hydrate, and nourish skin.
4. Mineral Sunscreen
   • This sunscreen includes natural ingredients such as zinc oxide so it won’t be harsh on your skin. The zinc oxide also helps reflect damaging UV rays off the skin to provide professional-strength protection from the sun.

Night Skincare Routine for Sensitive Skin

1. Dual Cleansing Oil
   • The Dual Cleansing Oil is great to use to begin your night skincare routine when you have sensitive skin to remove makeup, dirt, oil, and sweat that is sitting on the surface of the skin. This product also provides hydration and prepares the skin for the rest of the products in the routine.
2. Exfoliating Cream Cleanser
   • This is a gentle cream cleanser that restores moisture back into the skin while removing impurities. The blend of botanical oils helps gently brighten, smooth, and hydrate the skin.
3. Hydrating Serum
   • The green tea extract in the Hydrating Serum helps reduce inflammation and irritation, leaving you with radiant skin! This product is great to use at night, because it locks in moisture and helps your skin stay moisturized.
4. Replenish Moisturizing Cream
   • This moisturizer addresses key factors in moisture loss. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that especially help those with extra sensitive skin.

Additional Tips and Advice for Sensitive Skin

• It is best to begin a new skincare routine with a very simplified step-by-step process. This is best to not increase sensitivity and allow your skin to adjust to the high concentrations used, such as in our luxury skincare products.
• Maintain a regular morning and night routine for four weeks to help reduce the sensitivity of your skin. At the point that you feel that your skin is balanced out with the products, you can then add in the Peptide Eye Cream after the Exfoliating Cream Cleanser in the morning and night routines and the Moisturizing Retinol Night Cream to the end of the night skincare routine.
  • The eye cream is great for gently hydrating the delicate skin around the eyes, reducing fine lines and dark circles.
  • The Moisturizing Retinol Night Cream helps smooth blemishes on the skin and increase collagen production as well.
