At REPO we understand the unique needs of sensitive skin, which is why we’ve developed our Resurrection Serum with soothing and nourishing ingredients like tea seed oil and borage seed oil. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the best skincare routine for sensitive skin, offering tips and product recommendations to keep your skin happy and healthy.
Understanding Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin can react to various factors, including environmental changes, stress, harsh skincare products, and certain ingredients. Common symptoms of sensitive skin include redness, itching, dryness, and a feeling of tightness. The key to managing sensitive skin is to use gentle, hydrating, and calming products that strengthen the skin’s barrier and reduce irritation.
The Best Skincare Routine for Sensitive Skin
1. Gentle Cleansing
Tip: Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser that removes impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils.
Product Recommendation: Look for cleansers with soothing ingredients like chamomile, aloe vera, or calendula.
Example: A gentle hydrating cleanser with aloe vera extract to calm and cleanse your skin without causing irritation.
2. Toning
Tip: Choose an alcohol-free toner that hydrates and soothes your skin.
Product Recommendation: Toners with ingredients like rose water, witch hazel (alcohol-free), and cucumber extract can help balance and refresh your skin.
Example: A hydrating toner with rose water to calm and hydrate your sensitive skin.
3. Applying Serum
Tip: Use a serum specifically formulated for sensitive skin that provides deep hydration and reduces redness.
Key Ingredients:
- Tea Seed Oil: Balances oil production and soothes irritated skin.
- Borage Seed Oil: Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), it helps reduce inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier.
- Natural Vitamin E: Provides antioxidant protection and promotes healing.
- Avocado Oil: Deeply moisturises and nourishes the skin with essential fatty acids and vitamins, enhancing skin’s natural barrier and preventing dryness.
- Jojoba Oil: Mimics the skin’s natural sebum, providing long-lasting hydration and promoting a balanced, calm complexion.
Benefits:
- Calms and soothes sensitive skin
- Provides deep hydration
- Reduces redness and irritation

How to Use:
- After cleansing and toning, apply a few drops of Resurrection Serum to your face and neck.
- Gently massage the serum into your skin using upward, circular motions.
- Use twice daily, in the morning and at night, for best results.
4. Moisturising
Tip: Opt for a lightweight, fragrance-free moisturiser that locks in hydration without clogging pores.
Product Recommendation: Moisturisers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and squalane are excellent for sensitive skin.
Example: A calming moisturiser with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and ceramides to restore the skin barrier.
