When skin feels tight, flaky or unusually reactive, simplify first. Use a gentle cleanser, a supportive moisturiser and daytime SPF before reintroducing stronger actives one at a time.
What it is
The skin barrier helps retain water and limit exposure to irritants. Over-exfoliation, weather, prescription products and some skin conditions can leave skin feeling dry, tight or more reactive than usual.
How we treat it
Begin with Glass Skin Cleansing Balm, follow with Miracle Cream, and use SPF as the final morning step. Keep the routine consistent and pause non-essential active products while the skin is uncomfortable.
Once the skin feels settled, reintroduce one targeted product at a time. Stop if irritation returns and seek individual advice for persistent burning, swelling, rash or a diagnosed skin condition.
Who it is for
This guide is for skin that feels dry, tight, flaky or sensitised after an overly complex routine. It is also a useful reset before introducing a new targeted serum.
