Those with sensitive skin and anyone with eczema will know the unpleasant sensations that come from a flare-up. Fortunately, regular treatment with the right product can nourish and heal sensitive and eczema-prone skin.
Find out what causes sensitive skin and discover the special ingredients in Botani’s Olive Skin Serum that make it so highly recommended for this skin type.
What causes sensitive skin?
When you have sensitive skin, certain products and environments will leave it tingling, itchy or red.
As explained by WebMD, sensitive skin is sometimes hereditary or may be linked to eczema or allergic dermatitis. The problem sometimes occurs with age or is caused by too much sun, wind or cold. Some people find their sensitive skin reacts when they forget to moisturize, while others treat it as a chronic condition.
Sensitive skin needs daily care and quality products that will help it stay protected and hydrated. At Botani, we recommend a facial serum instead of a typical moisturizer because it has a much higher concentration of active ingredients.
What is the best serum for sensitive skin?
There are many options on the market, but you will find the best serums for sensitive skin are:
- Made from herbal ingredients
- Specially designed to lock in moisture
- Free of mineral oils and silicon
- Odorless and light to avoid reactions
- Multipurpose so you don’t have to fill your beauty cabinet with different products and treatments
A premium facial skin serum will also include naturally derived squalene. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a sebum found in human skin that helps with elasticity and contributes to a youthful appearance.
Squalene, which occurs naturally in humans, has naturally moisturizing properties. It has the ability to attract oxygen, transport it to the deeper layers of your skin and accelerate the growth of new cells. The best skin serum for sensitive skin includes squalene because it mimics your skin’s natural healing abilities.
Why choose Olive Skin Serum?
The health benefits of the olive have been respected for centuries, and their benefits extend to skin care.
First, olive skin serum is derived from the olive fruit, which is rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamins. These ingredients nourish and heal while being gentle on sensitive skin.
To break down the science behind why the best facial serum for sensitive skin uses olive-based ingredients, this product:
- Contains a high concentration of antioxidants
- Contains vitamin E and vitamin C (which have anti-inflammatory properties)
- Protects the skin from pollutants and irritants
- Neutralizes free radicals that can cause inflammation
For eczema scars or sun damage, olive skin serum also acts as a “repair agent” that restores shine and reduces roughness. The result of daily use is skin free from redness, itching, dryness and that uncomfortable “tight” feeling.
Finally, a quality olive skin serum will contain olive squalene. This squalane is extracted from the pith, which includes the skin, pulp and pith (thus reducing waste). As mentioned, it mimics the skin’s natural healing abilities… and has the added bonus of being a vegan product.
