The Bare Roots Routine for Sensitive Skin: Less Really Is More
When it comes to sensitive skin care the simpler the routine the better. If your skin often reacts with redness flaking irritation or dryness chances are your barrier is compromised — and layering on too many actives or harsh products may only make things worse.
At Bare Roots Skincare we believe in a minimalist skincare routine that supports and strengthens your skin with just a few targeted essentials. Our range is crafted for sensitive reactive skin types and designed to soothe nourish and protect without the fuss.
In this article we’re sharing our go-to natural skincare routine for sensitive skin using just three multi-tasking products: Gentle Cleansing Milk Omega Oil and Vital Cream.
Step 1: Gentle Cleansing Without Stripping the Barrier
Using: Bare Roots Gentle Cleansing Milk
Start with the right cleanser — one that cleans effectively without stripping or drying out the skin. Our Gentle Cleansing Milk is a customer-favourite for good reason. It’s a non-stripping cleanser that removes impurities while leaving the skin soft hydrated and balanced.
Formulated as a gentle cleanser for sensitive skin it works to calm inflammation soothe tightness and reduce redness. Unlike other milk cleansers that can feel thin or underwhelming this one is plush rich and comforting — exactly what sensitive skin craves.
Looking for a cleanser that won’t mess with your barrier? This is the one.
Step 2: Strengthen With Fatty Acids and Lipids
Using: Bare Roots Omega Oil
The next step is to repair the skin barrier using essential fatty acids. Sensitive skin is often lipid-deficient which means it lacks the building blocks needed to retain moisture and protect itself. That’s where our Omega Oil comes in.
This formula is loaded with omega 3 6 and 9 — powerful ingredients known to reduce inflammation rebuild resilience and nourish from within. It’s often considered the best facial oil for sensitive skin thanks to its lightweight texture and fast-absorbing formula.
If you struggle with red irritated skin or flakiness this oil will become your new favourite. It calms the skin on contact and delivers long-term benefits with consistent use.
Just 2 to 3 drops pressed into damp skin is enough to transform the way your skin feels and functions.
Step 3: Hydrate and Protect
Using: Bare Roots Vital Cream
No routine is complete without a face cream for sensitive skin that locks in moisture and seals in all the goodness from your serum or oil. Our Vital Cream is the finishing touch that brings everything together.
It’s a calming face cream that instantly comforts irritated skin while also supporting long-term barrier repair. With its perfectly balanced texture it suits dry sensitive and even combination skin types.
Many consider it the best natural moisturizer for reactive skin — and we agree. It’s aloe vera base, rich in skin-restoring nutrients and completely free from ingredients known to aggravate sensitive skin.
Think of it as a breathable cocoon for your skin.
