Sensitive Skin SOS
If your skin feels tight, red, or reactive to almost everything, you’re not alone. Sensitive skin affects millions — and it’s often a sign that your skin’s natural barrier needs a little extra care. The good news? You don’t need harsh ingredients to find relief. With a few gentle swaps and a mindful routine, you can calm irritation and restore balance — naturally.
At lavera Natural Beauty, we believe nature knows best. Our certified natural and vegan skincare is formulated with pure plant-based ingredients that nurture, not overwhelm, sensitive complexions. Here’s how to build your own soothing routine from the ground up.
Gentle Cleanse
Harsh foaming cleansers can strip your skin’s natural oils and weaken its protective barrier. Look for a fragrance-free cleanser that removes impurities without disrupting your skin’s moisture balance.
Try this: Basis Sensitive Calming Cleansing Foam — fragrance free, with organic aloe vera and organic almond oil to gently cleanse while maintaining hydration.
Pro tip: Use lukewarm water and pat (don’t rub) your skin dry with a soft towel.
Optional: Toner
Many people with sensitive skin skip toner, but the right one can make all the difference. A gentle, alcohol-free toner helps rebalance your skin’s pH after cleansing, tightens pores, and preps your skin to absorb moisture more effectively. The Basis Sensitiv Gentle Facial Toner, with organic aloe vera and organic mallow, leaves the skin feeling refreshed and smooth.
Protect Your Skin Barrier
A resilient skin barrier is the foundation of calm, healthy skin. When it’s compromised, your complexion can feel dry, tight, or easily irritated — but with the right care, you can restore balance and strength naturally.
Start with a serum: Apply the Barrier Balance Serum after cleansing and toning, and before your moisturiser. This ultra-gentle, fragrance and alcohol free formula with probiotic ingredients and organic green tea helps to reinforce your skin’s natural microbiome, reducing sensitivity and supporting long-term resilience.
Pro tip: Serums are like a targeted treatment step — a few drops go a long way in strengthening your barrier and boosting your skin’s natural defences.
Soothe and Hydrate
Nigh ttime is when your skin naturally regenerates — the perfect opportunity to give it extra support and nourishment. A soothing night cream helps replenish lost moisture, strengthen your skin barrier, and reduce irritation while you rest.
Try this: Barrier Balance Night Cream — enriched with probiotic ingredients and organic green tea, works in harmony with your skin’s natural microbiome to calm sensitivity and reinforce barrier strength overnight.
If your skin prefers something even lighter, opt for the Basis Sensitiv Calming Night Cream, infused with organic almond oil and organic aloe vera for gentle hydration and a soft, supple finish.
Pro tip: Apply your night cream as the final step after your serum to seal in all the soothing goodness — you’ll wake up to calmer, more comfortable skin by morning.
Simplify Your Routine
Less is truly more when it comes to sensitive skin. Overloading with products can overwhelm your complexion. Stick to the essentials:
Cleanser
Toner
Serum
Moisturiser
SPF (day)
Nourishing cream (night)
Introduce new products one at a time to monitor your skin’s response.
Sensitive skin thrives when it’s treated with purity and simplicity. Every lavera product is NATRUE certified, and dermatologically tested for sensitive skin — so you can care for your skin with complete confidence.
Remember: Calming your skin is a journey, not a quick fix. With consistent, natural care, your skin can rediscover its comfort and glow — the way nature intended.
