How to recognize sensitive skin?

Sensitive skin is not a skin type, but a skin condition. Fatty, mixed or dry skin can become sensitive over time.

Several signs can alert:

• redness that appears easily;
• skin that pricks or heats;
• point itching;
• feeling uncomfortable after cleaning;
• skin that reacts quickly to a new cosmetic.

When the skin barrier is weakened, the skin becomes more permeable to external aggressions. Cold, wind, sun, pollution, very calcareous water or too much stripping can increase this sensitivity.

Why does the skin become sensitive?

The skin naturally has a protective barrier consisting of water, sebum and lipids. Its role is to limit water losses while preventing external attacks from entering.

When this balance is disturbed, the skin becomes more vulnerable. It reacts more quickly to temperature variations, friction or certain cosmetic ingredients.

Stress, hormonal changes, age or too frequent cleaning can also weaken this natural protection.

Good gestures to take care of sensitive skin

Sensitive skin appreciates simplicity.

It is best to choose treatments that clean without aggression and that bring quality vegetable oils to accompany the skin in its natural functioning.

A gentle routine can include:

• suitable overgras soap;
• cleaning without stripping the skin;
• vegetable oil after shower to feed the skin;
• care limiting unnecessary ingredients when the skin is very reactive.

The aim is not to multiply products, but to bring to the skin what it really needs.

Vegetable oils grown on our farm

The quality of care begins with the quality of raw materials.

Some of the vegetable oils used in our cosmetics are produced directly on our farm in the Marne. We cultivate rapeseed, cameline and hemp before incorporating them into our formulations.

This mastery of the raw material allows us to select fresh oils and to know precisely their origin.

We then associate them with other recognized vegetable oils, such as jojoba, apricot or shea butter, to offer treatments that respect the most delicate skins.

Which products to choose for sensitive skin?

All products in this category have been selected because they are particularly suitable for sensitive skin.

You will find overgras soaps made by cold saponification, care oils and cosmetics rich in vegetable oils.

Each product has its specificities according to your needs: skin that pulls, skin that lacks comfort, skin that reacts easily or skin weakened by external aggressions.

The most important thing is to listen to your skin and to give priority to care that you tolerate well every day.
