Sensitive skin requires special care and attention, especially when it comes to exfoliation. 

Some exfoliants can be too harsh and abrasive, leading to irritation and redness. However, with SBTRCT's Clarifying Exfoliator, you can gently exfoliate sensitive skin without compromising its delicate balance. In this blog, we'll explore the best practices for exfoliating sensitive skin using SBTRCT's Clarifying Exfoliator, helping you achieve a smoother, clearer complexion without irritation.

Understanding Sensitive Skin

Before we delve into the exfoliation process, let's take a moment to understand sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is prone to reactions such as redness, itching, and inflammation when exposed to certain stimuli, including harsh skincare ingredients and aggressive exfoliation methods. It's essential to approach sensitive skin with care and choose products specifically formulated to soothe and nourish without causing irritation.

Follow these steps to exfoliate sensitive skin effectively with SBTRCT's Clarifying Exfoliator:

  • Prep Your Skin: Start by cleansing your face with our Makeup Melt and /or our Gentle Foaming Cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup
  •  Wet face with warm water
  • Rub the product in wet hands to lather
  • Gently massage the exfoliator onto damp skin using circular motions, avoiding the delicate eye area.
  • Paying close attention to areas of congestion or dryness such as the T-zone or chin
  • Rinse Thoroughly: After exfoliating, rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove the exfoliator residue. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel, taking care not to rub or tug on the delicate skin
  • Follow with Moisturiser: Finish your skincare routine by applying a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to lock in moisture and soothe the skin. Choose a moisturizer specifically formulated for sensitive skin to minimize the risk of irritation, such as SBTRCT’s Fragrance Free Moisturising Balm 

Exfoliating sensitive skin doesn't have to be a daunting task. With SBTRCT's Clarifying Exfoliator, you can gently slough away dead skin cells and reveal a brighter, clearer complexion without irritation.
