For You’re Totally Missing Out On!
If you only have one day to see as many sights as you can, we’ve compiled a list of walkable must-see destinations.
SURPRISING SKINCARE
T I P S
Sensitive Skin
It’s not just for makeup removal! Micellar water cleanses without stripping natural oils, making it ideal for sensitive skin that reacts to foaming or gel cleansers.
Your skin’s natural pH is slightly acidic (~5.5). Products that are too alkaline or acidic can disrupt your barrier and cause flare-ups. Stick to pH-balanced formulas to maintain skin harmony.
Cotton pillowcases create friction and absorb your skincare. Silk or bamboo is smoother, hypoallergenic, and doesn’t strip your skin of moisture or product while you sleep.
Go slow and steady. Trying multiple new products at once can make it hard to track what’s causing skin reactions. Introduce one product every 7–10 days so your skin can adjust and avoid sudden flare-ups.
Both icy cold and steaming hot water can damage the lipid layer of sensitive skin. Always wash your face with lukewarm water to keep inflammation in check.
Lavender, tea tree, and citrus oils may smell great, but they often trigger allergic reactions in sensitive skin. Fragrance-free doesn't always mean EO-free; check the ingredients list carefully.
The skin behind your ear is a discreet and reactive area—perfect for patch testing. Always test new products there for 24–48 hours before applying them on your face.
Jade rollers, gua sha, or cleansing brushes can aggravate sensitive skin if used too often or without slip. Limit usage to 1–2 times a week and always apply oil or serum first.
Serums first, then creams! This ensures absorption without clogging pores or causing unnecessary sensitivity from product pilling.
Your skin regenerates while you sleep. Using a barrier-repair cream with ingredients like ceramides, squalane, or madecassoside helps sensitive skin bounce back overnight.
