10 tips for sensitive skin

Sensitive skin can react to everything from weather changes and stress to skincare products with strong ingredients. If you often experience redness, stinging, or irritation when switching environments or trying new products, you’re not alone. In our modern lifestyle—marked by stress, pollution, and sometimes unbalanced diets—it’s increasingly common for the skin’s natural ecosystem to fall out of balance.

 

To help those struggling with sensitive skin, we’ve gathered 10 tips. These tips support the skin’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), preserve microbial diversity, and strengthen the barrier function. As a bonus, we’ll highlight how our products—based on CBD, CBG, MCT oil, and jojoba oil—can offer a gentle solution. We’ll also feature our mushroom supplement with Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Chaga for a holistic approach that nurtures the skin from the inside out.

 

1. Choose a Gentle Makeup Remover

 

Why It Matters: 

Sensitive skin often has a weakened barrier. Harsh cleansers risk further compromising this barrier and disrupting the skin’s pH balance, which can lead to redness and discomfort.

 

How to Do It:  

- Use a cleanser based on MCT oil or other mild oils that effectively dissolve dirt and makeup without drying out the skin.  

- Rinse with lukewarm water and avoid rubbing or scrubbing too hard.  

 

2. Balance Your Skin with CBD and CBG

 

Why It Matters: 

CBD (cannabidiol) and CBG (cannabigerol) have gained attention for their potentially calming and anti-inflammatory properties. For sensitive skin, these qualities can be especially helpful in reducing redness, irritation, and overreactions.

 

How to Do It:  

- Look for facial oils or serums with CBD and CBG as key ingredients. These can support the skin’s own endocannabinoid system (ECS) and help keep reactivity in check.  

- Apply morning and evening to give your skin a balanced foundation.  

 

3. Strengthen Your Skin’s Natural Protection with Jojoba Oil

 

Why It Matters: 

Jojoba oil is unique because its composition mimics the skin’s own sebum. For sensitive skin, this makes it particularly beneficial: it forms a thin, protective layer while helping to retain moisture.

 

How to Do It:  

- Apply a few drops directly to slightly damp skin, or mix it with your serum for added nourishment. 

- Jojoba oil is non-comedogenic, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive ones. 

 

4. Avoid Over-Treating

 

Why It Matters: 

The temptation to try numerous products can be strong, but sensitive skin often thrives on simplicity. Too many active ingredients, harsh exfoliants, or frequent product switches can heighten the risk of irritation.

 

How to Do It:  

- Build a minimalist routine and stick with it for an extended period.  

- Always test a new product on a small area, like behind your ear, before applying it to your entire face.  

 

5. Incorporate Adaptogens and Antioxidants with Mushroom Supplements

 

Why It Matters: 

Inner balance is often the key to calm skin. Our mushroom supplement contains Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, and Chaga, known for their adaptogenic and antioxidant properties. These can help the body manage stress and support a robust immune system—factors that, in turn, positively influence skin health.

 

How to Do It:  

- Take the supplement daily as per the recommended dose to strengthen your body from within and give your skin optimal conditions.  

- Pair it with a varied diet for the best results.  

 

6. Reduce External Stressors

 

Why It Matters: 

Pollution, extreme weather, and rapid temperature shifts are all external factors that can trigger sensitive skin. Combined with an already fragile barrier, these can lead to stronger, longer-lasting reactions.

 

How to Do It:  

- Shield your skin from cold and wind by wearing soft scarves and hats made of natural materials. 

- Use a humidifier at home or work during dry spells to prevent dehydration.  

- Pat your skin dry gently after showering or in wet weather conditions.  

 

7. Manage Internal Stress

 

Why It Matters: 

Stress hormones affect the skin’s endocannabinoid system and can worsen reactivity and redness. When you’re stressed, sensitive skin is more likely to become even more sensitive.

 

How to Do It:  

- Set aside time for recovery: meditation, yoga, or a calm walk can help lower cortisol levels. 

- Ensure you get enough sleep. At night, the skin undergoes vital repair processes.  

 

8. Be Cautious with Sun Exposure

 

Why It Matters: 

While sun exposure can be beneficial (like for vitamin D production), too much direct sunlight or strong sunscreens with irritating ingredients can make sensitive skin more reactive.

 

How to Do It:  

- Use sunscreen products with gentle filters designed for sensitive skin.  

- Avoid direct sun when the UV index is at its peak.  

- After sun exposure, soothe the skin with a few drops of MCT or jojoba oil to maintain moisture balance.  

 

9. Keep Your Routine Simple Yet Consistent

 

Why It Matters: 

Sensitive skin appreciates a predictable routine. Constant product changes or over-treatment can create stress and overreactions.

 

How to Do It:  

- Focus on cleansing, moisturizing, and protection. Add fewer steps at a time, and assess how your skin feels before moving forward.  

- Invest in a small number of high-quality products with clean, safe ingredients like CBD, CBG, MCT, and jojoba.  

 

10. Follow a Thoughtful Skincare Routine for Sensitive Skin

 

Why It Matters: 

A clear routine reduces the risk of sudden reactions. By sticking to the same steps daily, you create the conditions for long-term improvement and stability in your skin.
