A Sensitive Skincare Guide in Bali

​With sensitive skin comes a bit of maintenance to keep everything in check, so treating yourself with grace is crucial for balance. If you feel like your skin is red, irritated, or sensitive in general there are things that a mindful skincare routine can do to help. This mini-guide will explain some of the most important tips and habits to take note of and perform when you have sensitive skin to create a gentle yet effective skincare routine.

Skincare Guide by Pinsela Aesthetic Bali:

• Choose Gentle Cleansers

The first step of any skincare routine is a good gentle cleanser. Use fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formulas meant for sensitive skin. Opt for ones with chamomile, aloe vera, or calendula as they are known to have calming properties, and avoid harsh chemicals or exfoliants that may irritate your skin.

• Mindful Moisturising

Along with this, make sure to keep your skin well-hydrated as it helps maintain the skin’s barrier function. Use a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturiser with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin to help retain hydration without causing irritation. Apply it to damp skin, patting rather than rubbing to lock in moisture; consider patch-testing new products as well.

• Sunscreen as a Shield

Sensitive skin can be especially vulnerable to sun damage. Apply an SPF 30 or higher, broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. Choose non-irritating physical blockers like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Reapply frequently, especially if you’ll be outdoors for extended periods.

• Patch Test New Products

Trying a new skincare product can be risky for sensitive skin. Before full use, apply a small amount to an area like behind the ear and observe for 24-48 hours. If no reactions occur, it’s likely safe to use. This helps you discover what works best for your skin without discomfort.

• Limit Exfoliation

Structured exfoliation supports skin renewal, but sensitive skin may respond poorly to strong chemical exfoliants or abrasive scrubs. Prefer mild exfoliants with fruit acids or enzymes. Avoid overstimulating your skin; limit exfoliation to once or twice a week.

• Hydration from the Inside Out

Proper skincare begins from within. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin moisturised. A well-hydrated body helps create supple, resilient skin less prone to dryness and irritation.
