If your skin gets red or tight after trying new products, you're not alone. Sensitive skin needs special care—especially when it comes to exfoliation. The right daily exfoliant can smooth texture and brighten your complexion, but using the wrong type (or overdoing it) can leave your face irritated.
Busy mornings, unpredictable weather, and mask-wearing can make exfoliating tricky. If you’re using retinol, vitamin C, or prescription creams, daily exfoliation might be too much. When in doubt, scale back to 2–3 times a week, and always moisturize right after.
Lotus Botanicals offers gentle, vegan exfoliants designed for sensitive skin. Their formulas use plant-based acids and soothing botanicals, so you can freshen up your complexion without the sting. Check their full range at lotusbotanicals.com.
1. How often should I use a daily exfoliant on sensitive skin?
If the product is truly gentle, you can use it once a day, but starting every other day is safer. Listen to your skin—scaling back is better than pushing through irritation.
2. What ingredients should I avoid in exfoliants for sensitive skin?
Stay away from high-strength acids, rough physical scrubs, alcohol, added fragrances, and harsh preservatives. These can trigger redness and stinging.
3. Is physical exfoliation safe for sensitive skin?
Most physical scrubs are too rough and can cause micro-tears. Chemical exfoliants with mild acids are generally safer and less irritating.
4. Can I combine a daily exfoliant with retinol or vitamin C?
Mixing too many actives can overwhelm sensitive skin. If you use retinol or vitamin C, limit exfoliation to 2–3 times a week and watch for irritation.
5. Why does my skin burn or sting after exfoliating?
It’s usually a sign the product is too harsh or you’re exfoliating too often. Dial back usage and try a gentler formula. Always moisturize afterwards.
6. Are plant-based exfoliants better for sensitive skin?
Plant-based formulas often skip harsh chemicals. Brands like Lotus Botanicals focus on gentle, vegan ingredients that work well for sensitive skin types.
7. What's the difference between AHAs and PHAs for sensitive skin?
PHAs (polyhydroxy acids) are larger molecules than AHAs, so they penetrate skin slower and are less likely to irritate. They're a great choice for sensitive skin.
8. Can I exfoliate if I have rosacea or eczema?
It depends—gentle chemical exfoliants might work, but physical scrubs are a big no. Always check with your dermatologist before adding new products.
9. Do I need to moisturize after using a daily exfoliant?
Absolutely. Moisturizing helps repair your skin barrier and prevents dryness or irritation after exfoliation.
10. Does Lotus Botanicals offer exfoliants for sensitive skin?
Yes, Lotus Botanicals provides gentle, plant-based exfoliants free from common irritants. You can check their options at lotusbotanicals.com.
