Tightness, redness, tingling… If these signs sound familiar, you're not alone. Sensitive skin affects nearly 60% of women — and yet, too many skincare routines are still poorly suited to this condition.
At Théobroma Beauty, we believe it's time to do things differently. Here are the 5 most common mistakes to avoid to soothe, protect, and enhance your sensitive skin.
1. Using overly aggressive skincare products (even “clean” ones)
Many skincare products still contain irritating ingredients: synthetic perfumes, alcohol, harsh preservatives, or simply… too much water.
A diluted formula is a weakened formula: it forces your skin to compensate, which triggers reactions.
Our approach:
Formulas without added water, 100% active, enriched with theobromine, organic aloe vera, plant-based hyaluronic acid… and nothing unnecessary.
2. Changing products too often
Sensitive skin hates instability. Testing a new product every week, layering products, or switching brands risks disrupting your skin barrier.
Our advice:
Adopt a short, stable and consistent routine — like our TH3+ Serum + Soothing Day Cream duo, rated 100/100 on Yuka.
3. Over-cleaning (or cleaning incorrectly)
Washing your face twice a day with a harsh cleanser is a common mistake. This removes the natural lipids that protect your skin.
To do:
Use a gentle cleansing treatment, such as our Cocoa & Aloe Cleansing Balm, which gently purifies the skin while nourishing it with its complex of precious oils, cocoa butter and organic aloe vera.
4. Neglecting hydration and skin barrier repair
Sensitive, poorly hydrated skin becomes more vulnerable to damage. And no, water alone isn't enough: it evaporates quickly without active ingredients to bind it in.
Solution :
Opt for skincare products rich in repairing and soothing active ingredients such as theobromine, hyaluronic acid and plant butters.
The key gesture:
As a final step, apply Baume des Dieux, our iconic multi-repair treatment. Its melting texture and comforting fragrance instantly soothe, calm redness, and strengthen skin day after day. 5. Ignoring warning signs
Persistent redness, burning, itching: these are not just your skin's quirks. They are SOS signals.
Listen to your skin:
A suitable routine can transform your daily comfort.
