Stinging, redness and flaking are signs of a compromised skin barrier. The good news is that a consistent minimal routine is usually enough to restore it.

Key Points

  • Stop all exfoliation and strong actives for 2 to 4 weeks.
  • Use a gentle fragrance-free cleanser and avoid hot water.
  • Pick a moisturiser with Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid, morning and night.
  • A physical sunscreen every morning to protect recovering skin.

Recovery takes patience. If irritation does not improve within a few weeks, consult a dermatologist.
