We often hear: “My skin is sensitive.” But in reality, there are several types of sensitivity, and the differences really matter. Once you understand which group your skin belongs to, you can finally care for it properly – and the result is calmer, more radiant, more resilient skin.
Let’s take a look together... 👇
1) Sensitive skin
How to recognise it:
-
it quickly feels tight, itchy or burning,
-
it reacts to cold, wind or certain cosmetic products,
-
it is often thin, with a weaker protective barrier.
Why it happens:
It is an innate trait of the skin – your nerve endings and skin barrier are simply more sensitive.
Care that helps:
-
use gentle products free from fragrance and alcohol,
-
focus on long-lasting hydration and strengthening your protective barrier.
Golden Cleansing Gel – cleanses gently without irritation.
Immortelle Mist – soothes and refreshes.
Golden Moisturising Cream – lightweight daytime hydration.
+ (in the evening, if needed) Golden Nourishing Cream – extra protection and renewal.
2) Reactive skin
How to recognise it:
-
it reacts to almost every new product,
-
redness, a burning sensation or rashes appear very quickly,
-
it often gets worse after exfoliation, stronger serums or UV exposure.
Why it happens:
Your skin has been overloaded – too many active ingredients, too much exfoliation or unsuitable cosmetics.
Care that helps:
- give your skin a “reset” and let it breathe,
-
use only basic, gentle products that restore and soothe.
Golden Cleansing Gel – exceptionally mild for cleansing.
Immortelle Mist – a soothing toner after every cleanse.
Golden Moisturising Cream – a cream that restores moisture and soothes.
100% Immortelle Oil – as a targeted treatment, when needed, wherever redness or tightness appears.
3) Intolerant skin
How to recognise it:
-
almost every product causes a reaction,
-
even natural formulations or minimal ingredient lists cause discomfort,
-
it often responds with redness, itching or a burning sensation.
Why it happens:
This is skin with extremely low tolerance – often also linked to allergies.
Care that helps:
- use as few products as possible, with the shortest possible ingredient lists,
-
protect and soothe your skin with mild, hypoallergenic formulas.
Cleanse only with Immortelle Mist – no gel, just a cotton pad or a gentle mist.
100% Immortelle Oil – together with your cream.
Golden Moisturising Cream – as your main protection, when your skin tolerates it.
+ (if needed) Golden Nourishing Cream – if your skin is very dry and needs a protective layer.
