What Skin Care Routine Works Best For Sensitive Skin? A Quick Tutorial

Since sensitive skin is so varied, finding that one routine that works universally can be tricky. That said, there are some rules of thumb that work widely for people with sensitive complexions and help calm and protect the skin.

Adapt your routine to your skin

The ideal routine for sensitive skin is one that is tailored to your skin, catering to your skin's needs by choosing products that work with your skin type. Protect your skin against exterior daily stresses with a day cream with SPF, such as Garnier Bright Complete Vitamin C Day Serum with SPF36, and remove your make-up with a specifically adapted formula, like Garnier Micellar Water. Using the right skin care products should help make some serious headway in calming your sensitive skin.

Use micellar waters to remove makeup on sensitive skin

When removing makeup, micellar waters are your best friend. Their special surfactants attract dirt, grease and debris like magnets, without drying out or irritating your skin. Best of all, they can dislodge even the most resistant waterproof makeup without you having to rub and pull at your skin, reducing the chances of irritation. For intense makeup removal that's extra gentle on your skin, try Garnier Micellar Water with Argan Oil.

Take extra care of your eye area 

The area around the eyes is delicate on all skin types, but on sensitive skin it's even more vulnerable. When cleansing or applying moisturizers in the eye area, use only the pads of your fingers to dab and smooth ever so lightly - never rub this part of your skin.
