sensitive skin
At Novum Skin & Wellness, we understand how challenging sensitive skin can be. Sensitive skin is often easily irritated, reacts to certain products or environmental factors, and may appear red, dry, or inflamed. The right skincare routine and professional treatments can help soothe, calm, and repair sensitive skin, bringing relief and improving its overall appearance.
Understanding Sensitive Skin
Understanding Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin is characterised by a heightened reaction to various external stimuli, including skincare products, environmental factors, or stress. It can manifest in different ways, such as redness, itching, burning sensations, dryness, and tightness.
Causes of Sensitive Skin:
Environmental Factors: Changes in temperature, pollution, or allergens can trigger sensitive skin reactions.
Harsh Skincare Products: Products containing alcohol, fragrances, or strong chemicals can irritate the skin.
Skin Conditions: Conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and rosacea can cause heightened sensitivity.
Hormonal Fluctuations: Changes in hormones due to stress, menstruation, or medications can lead to sensitive skin.
Why Professional Skincare is Important
Sensitive skin requires a gentle, customised skincare approach. Harsh treatments or ingredients can worsen the sensitivity, which is why it’s essential to use calming and repairing products. At Novum Skin & Wellness, we provide treatments specifically designed to soothe, hydrate, and strengthen sensitive skin.

LED Light Therapy
LED Light Therapy uses light wavelengths to promote healing and reduce inflammation. It’s an excellent option for soothing sensitive skin and calming flare-ups, as it helps to reduce redness and irritation.
Skincare Tips for Sensitive Skin
Choose Gentle Products: Opt for fragrance-free, alcohol-free products formulated for sensitive skin. Avoid harsh exfoliants or products with astringents.
Hydrate Your Skin: Drink plenty of water and use a hydrating moisturiser to lock in moisture and protect the skin’s natural barrier.
Avoid Hot Water: Hot water can aggravate sensitive skin. Use lukewarm water for cleansing and bathing.
Sunscreen: Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from sunburn and further irritation.
Test New Products: Always patch-test new products before applying them to your face to ensure they don’t cause a reaction.
