Sensitive Skin Protocol
What is sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin reacts more easily to products, shaving, weather, heat or other everyday triggers. You may notice redness, itching, burning, stinging or irritation, sometimes from things that don’t seem to bother other people.
​
Sensitive skin and a compromised barrier can feel similar, but they aren’t always the same. Sensitive skin tends to be an ongoing tendency, while a compromised barrier is usually a temporary change caused by irritation or damage. If your skin suddenly became sensitive when it wasn’t before, your barrier may be the bigger issue.
Professional Care Plan:
Bespoke Facial
For sensitive skin, we recommend our Bespoke Facial with a focus on hydration, comfort and barrier support. Avoid harsh exfoliation, peels and other aggressive treatments until your skin has recovered.
Recommended Frequency:
Schedule a Bespoke Facial at Eros Bodyworks every 3–4 weeks for 6–12 weeks, or as recommended by your esthetician. Your skin can be reassessed along the way so your professional treatments and home-care routine evolve as your barrier improves.
What we're aiming for:
Together, we’re working toward skin that feels calmer, more comfortable and less reactive. Professional treatments will focus on supporting your skin without overwhelming it, while your home routine helps minimize everyday triggers between visits.
Sensitive skin may always need a little extra consideration. The goal isn’t to change your skin type, but to understand what it tolerates, reduce unnecessary irritation and keep it consistently comfortable.
A simple + effective routine:
You don’t need a shelf full of products. For now, keep it simple: cleanse, moisturize and protect your skin from the sun. A few well-chosen products used consistently can do more for a compromised barrier than a complicated routine.
