Look at the signs as a trend

A tight feeling after washing, stinging from a product that used to feel comfortable or new flaking can be signs that the balance has been disrupted. A single sign on its own is not a medical diagnosis, but a change in the trend is worth paying attention to.

Lighten your routine's load for a few days

A gentle cleanser, a compatible moisturiser and daily protection usually make a more understandable base. Set new active products aside temporarily and note how your skin reacts.

Know when to seek help

Pain, persistent inflammation, discharge or rapid worsening need assessment by a specialist. The aim of a calm routine is not to replace medical treatment, but to prevent more trial and error.
