How to Soothe the Skin of Your Face?

Pollution, wind, stress, cold, harsh cleansing, UV rays: our pace of life, our habits and our surroundings sensitize the skin day after day. The signals are familiar: redness, tightness, a feeling of discomfort, a duller complexion. They deserve to be heard, because they mark the first step back to healthy skin.

At Absolution, we believe sensitive skin deserves gentleness, to rebuild its protective barrier and preserve its natural balance. Our soothing face care is certified organic and formulated with botanical actives chosen to protect the ecosystem of your epidermis. Discover how to soothe your skin, lastingly, with our dedicated collection.

Why does facial skin need soothing?

Sensitive skin is, above all, skin whose skin barrier has been weakened. This fine protective layer on the surface of the epidermis limits water loss and defends against external aggressors. When it falters, facial skin grows more reactive and shows several signs of discomfort: redness appears more often, tightness settles in, and the complexion gradually loses its glow.

Every skin type can be affected, but soothing begins with understanding what your skin needs. Dry skin that is also sensitive lacks lipids and craves nourishment, while oily skin or combination skin needs hydration to rebalance its barrier.

Knowing your skin moods is the key to lasting comfort.

Care for sensitive or reactive skin with an organic soothing face care

Every ingredient counts when it comes to calming sensitized skin. A natural soothing cream or an organic soothing face care made with plant-based actives helps restore natural balance gently, in harmony with the skin's own mechanisms. A formula with controversial ingredients, on the other hand, may keep discomfort alive.

From the very beginning, Absolution has created certified organic care that works in bio-affinity with the epidermis. Our soothing formulas bring together botany, science and conscience to restore, preserve and protect sensitive or reactive skin. Free from superfluous ingredients, they rely instead on targeted actives to calm redness and strengthen the skin barrier.

What are the best natural actives to calm redness?

Longing to feel comfortable in your skin again, and for it to be less reactive? Here are the natural ingredients to favor to nourish and soothe facial skin.

• Aloe Vera is a soothing-care essential. Its hydrating and repairing properties help calm sensations of heat and keep skin well hydrated.
• Honey is prized for its softening, nourishing virtues on weakened skin that lacks comfort.
• Plant Oils (Coconut, Avocado, Jojoba, Macadamia and more) reinforce the hydrolipidic film, limit dehydration and improve skin's suppleness, thanks to their wealth of essential fatty acids.

Better protected, skin looks more supple, more comfortable, calmer. Redness seems softened and the complexion regains its glow, for a face that looks visibly more balanced and naturally comforted.

The Absolution soothing routine, step by step

What better than a simple, consistent routine to soothe facial skin? Our soothing, anti-redness care slips easily into your morning and evening rituals.

• Begin with a gentle cleanse: Le Nettoyant Pureté for blemish-prone skin, or our softening face and body soap Le Savon Blanc, to remove impurities without disturbing the hydrolipidic film. On makeup, start with the cleansing oil-gel Le Baume Céleste or La Crème Douce Démaquillante.
• Follow with our two-phase toner and care La Brume Systémique, a soothing gesture that prepares skin for what comes next.
• Next, apply the organic soothing face care that best suits your skin mood. We recommend the hydrating, antioxidant serum Le Sérum Anti-Soif for light, rebalancing hydration.
• Choose the natural soothing cream that completes your routine. Our balancing care La Crème de Santé hydrates, soothes and regulates skin that wants a light texture, while our nourishing antioxidant care La Crème Riche wraps reactive skin in an intensely comforting protective veil, especially in winter. At night, our regenerating night care La Crème du Soir supports the skin's renewal while you sleep, for skin that wakes more supple, fresh and calm. Prone to redness? Blend 3 drops of the soothing CBD oil PAX into your cream to repair and balance your epidermis.
• Once or twice a week, complete your soothing routine with Le Masque Anti-Soif Hydratant for dehydrated skin, or Le Masque Riche Réconfortant for skin that is red and uncomfortable.
