Skincare Red Flags: What Sensitive Skin Should Never Tolerate—Simree's Guide

Why Sensitive Skin Is More Widespread Than You’d Expect

Redness, tingling, dry patches, breakouts If your skin flares up easily, you’re not alone.

Sensitive skin is more than a skin type. It’s a condition that can be triggered by harsh weather, stress, allergens, or the wrong skincare.

Forget the 10-step routine; your skin only needs a few essentials.

Let’s simplify what to avoid, what to trust, and how Simree makes sensitive skin care feel safe (and glowy).

Ingredients to Avoid If You Have Sensitive Skin

Fragrance & Essential Oils:

Even natural fragrances can trigger irritation. Look for “fragrance-free” over “unscented.”

Alcohol (denatured, ethanol, isopropyl):

These strip the skin’s moisture and disrupt your barrier.

Harsh Exfoliants (like walnut or apricot scrubs):

They cause micro-tears, leading to inflammation.

Sulfates (like SLS):

Common in cleansers and foaming face washes, these are drying and harsh

Overuse of Actives:

Too much retinol, AHAs, or even vitamin C can overwhelm sensitive skin. Go slow and gentle.

What Your Sensitive Skin Actually Needs?

Calm overcorrection

Nourishment over harsh “purging.”

Hydration without heavy oils.

Look for ingredients that:

Support the skin barrier.

Reduce redness.

Gently hydrate.

Some of our favorites:

Blue Tansy: Anti-inflammatory, calming.

Squalane: Light, non-comedogenic oil.

Aloe Vera: Soothes, cools, hydrates.

Jojoba Oil: Mimics skin’s own sebum, non-irritating.
