How to Care for Sensitive Skin with Natural Products
Sensitive skin isn’t just a trend—it’s a skin type that can easily react to harsh ingredients, fragrances, or environmental stressors. The solution? Clean, gentle formulations built around nature’s most soothing botanicals.
In this post, we’ll explore what triggers sensitivity, why handcrafted natural products work best, and how to gently transition with natural skincare for sensitive skin—using only items from Theresa’s genuine catalogue.
What Causes Sensitive Skin?
- Compromised Skin Barrier – Over-cleansing, pollution, or dry climates can strip your skin’s protective layer, causing tightness, redness, or stinging.
- Common Irritants – Synthetic fragrances, sulfates, and parabens are frequent culprits behind flare-ups.
- Skin Conditions – Conditions like eczema, rosacea, and dermatitis increase reactivity and require careful product selection.
- Environmental Stressors – Sun exposure, wind, and temperature changes can exacerbate sensitivity—especially on under-protected skin.
Why Natural & Handcrafted Formulas Matter
- Fewer Irritants: Natural products steer clear of harsh synthetics.
- Soothing Nutrients: Ingredients like calendula, shea butter, and aloe are known for calming and healing.
- Transparency & Trust: Small-batch, handcrafted products (like Theresa’s) ensure you know exactly what’s in them.
- Ethical Sourcing: Many ingredients are fair-trade and cruelty-free—good for your skin and the planet.
