Sensitive skin – some of us have it, other don’t. So, what is it exactly?
Sensitive skin is a skin type typically caused when the skin is irritated from external factors such as the environment, our overall health, diet, habits or using products that don’t agree with our skin. In fact, you may not even know you have sensitive skin until you have a reaction to something like a soap, makeup or even the temperature!
Sensitive skin
There are a few reasons why our skin can become sensitive.
So, with all of these factors at play, what happens to our skin?
Dry Skin
Causes
Dry skin happens when our skin loses too much water and oil leaving our skin feeling itchy, peeling, flaky and in some cases even cracking and bleeding. Changes in weather or fluctuating temperatures from a sudden exposure to air conditioning or heating can also exacerbate dry skin.
How to treat dry skin
Dry skin loves, even craves, moisture. Applying a moisturising cream once or twice a day can help to alleviate the problem and restore the natural balance of the skin. Complimenting this with a quality oil-based product like The Oil is the perfect skincare item for keeping the skin feeling dewy, fresh and looking healthy.

Sun Damage
Causes
Sun exposure can cause early signs of ageing, increase pigmentation and cause trauma to our skin cells leading to irreversible damage and even cancer. If the exposure is prolonged our skin can often never recover. In this scenario, prevention is better than cure.
How to prevent sun damage
Aside from wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses and avoiding the sun’s harmful rays, an SPF moisturiser should be something you reach for every single day. Research has found that applying broad spectrum SPF moisturiser daily can significantly reverse signs of premature damaged skin. To safeguard your we believe it is imperative to apply a moisturiser that has SPF sun protection during the day to prevent your skin from sun damage.
Our Hydra-Cream SPF 15 is a non-greasy daytime moisturiser containing UVA/UVB sun protection ingredients help to protect premature agieng of skin from sun damage; multi-vitamins and antioxidants help to protect skin from oxidative stress; hydration boosters, natural plant oils and extracts for moisture balance and to protect the skin from environmental pollution.
Acne
Causes
Acne is typically caused by four different things: excess sebum (or oil) production, clogged hair follicles, acne-causing bacteria, and inflammation of the skin. Everything from hormonal changes to stress to the skincare products you use, the food you eat, and the stress levels you experience can cause acne.
How to treat acne
The first step with acne is to throw out the harsh skincare products that are impacting your delicate skin and purchase a gentle cleanser. Our Face Exfoliating Scrub with Salicylic & Rice is a creamy facial exfoliating cleanser containing Salicylic Acid to help exfoliate the pores and remove excessive built-up oil.
Rice exfoliant helps to absorb surface excessive oil while gently scrubbing away dirt and impurities for bright, fresh, supple, and well hydrated skin.
Finding the right moisturiser is also important as this will help protect and soothe your skin. Try our Hydra-Cream SPF which is formulated for all skin types.

Having a great skincare routine is the best way to help protect your skin from irritants and prevent future breakouts. Our philosophy at En Face is that healthy skin is the foundation for lifelong beauty and a reflection of overall health.
