Oür Solution to Dry & Sensitive Skin

Do you ever wonder if you have dry or sensitive skin? Are they the same?

Everything you need to know about dry & sensitive skin. 

First, skin types can change over time, and It is hard to distinguish between dry and sensitive skin because these conditions often coexist.

Sensitive skin is often referred to as a skin type, but it's possible to have oily, sensitive, dry, sensitive, or normal, sensitive skin. Regardless of skin type, if you have sensitive skin, it may appear red and feel burning, itching, or dry. 

Dry skin occurs when your skin loses too much water and oil, so it doesn't have enough moisture to keep it feeling soft. The medical term for dry skin is xeroderma (pronounced “ze-ROW-derm-ah”). Xerosis (pronounced “ze-ROW-sis”) is severely dry skin. Dry skin feels like rough patches of your skin that can flake or look scaly. Dry skin is common and can affect anyone at any age.

Second, dry skin is particularly prone to sensitivity, and sensitive skin is often dry. This can make it challenging to identify the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment. We encourage you to get your skin assessed by a professional aesthetician to confirm the course of treatment. 

The leading causes of a dry &sensitive skin barrier are:

• Environmental weather conditions (cold or dry)
• Sun damage by spending too much time in direct sunlight
• Overbathing
• Using harsh cleansers & soaps
• Unbalanced skin pH
• Washing skin excessively
• Skin conditions

To enhance the skin’s beauty to reveal its healthy radiance, Quannessence recommends the following personal daily home-care ritual program:

Step 1: Cleansing

Remove all face, neck, décolleté, and eye makeup, and debris by applying one to two pumps of Facial Cleansing Cream and a small amount of water. Using your fingertips, massage the cleanser for three minutes into your skin. Remove with a warm, well-saturated face cloth. Repeat if necessary to ensure no residual product remains.

 Step 2: Exfoliating 

Take one teaspoon of Sage Peel Gel,  then massage into the face and décolleté with a circular motion for three minutes. Rinse well with a warm, well-saturated facial compress to ensure all jojoba pearls have been adequately removed.

Step 3: Cleansing

Once a week in the evening, after using the Sage Peel Gel, apply 1-3 pumps of Multi-Fruit Peel Cleanser to the face, neck, and décolleté while avoiding the eyes. Using your fingertips, gently massage into the skin using a circular motion and leave on the face for 3-5 minutes. Remove with three consecutive warm, well-saturated face clothes. Repeat until there is no tingling sensation on the skin.

Step 4: Toning

Prepare skin for serums by spritzing Moisture Mist on the face and décolleté. Moisture Mist provides skin conditioning with a wonderful refreshing citrus-based scent from a combination of five wonderful essential oils.

Step 5: Treating

The skin is now receptive to Quannessence advanced serums and can offer the greatest benefits to your skin. Apply a pea-sized Hyaluronic (PUR) Hydrating Serum to the back of your less dominant hand. Using the fingertips of your dominant hand, feather the serum over the entire face, neck, and décolleté and tap into the skin.

In the morning, apply a dab of Alchemist Revitalizing Cream to the face, neck, and décolleté and massage into the skin using your fingertips.

Step 6: Protecting (Night)

Massage 3 to 6 drops of Gaia Facial Enrichment Oil into the face, neck, and décolleté.This moisturizer combines some of the most lavish and illuminating non-comedogenic oils to provide moisturizing, soothing, and age-softening benefits. It acts as a nourishing nighttime moisturizer which does not impede your skin’s natural detoxification cycle as night creams do.

Step 7: Masking (Night)

Apply one to two pumps of Vital Hydrating Masque cooling gel which promotes hydration and healing. The soothing mask is packed full of powerful humectants and moisturizers combined with cutting-edge ingredients that offer anti-redness, anti-inflammatory and healing properties. The residual mask can be removed the following morning using your Facial Cleansing Cream.

Daily Tip:

Every day, make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of fluids, which include beverages such as tea, milk, and coffee. Your skin will also thank you if you eat a diet rich in antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, and E.
