Yon-Ka’s Trusted Trio for Sensitive Skin

Hero formulas to soothe, calm and reduce redness

Yon-Ka Paris, the French phyto-aromatic skincare brand with over 70 years of expertise, shines a spotlight on its ‘Soothe, Calm & Balance’ Bundle, a trusted trio drawn from the brand’s long-standing Sensitive range, formulated to soothe, calm and support reactive skin.

Sensitive skin is a common concern for many people in Ireland, affecting all skin tones and skin types, and is often influenced by environmental factors such as weather, pollution and lifestyle stressors. From redness and discomfort to tightness and irritation, sensitive skin requires gentle yet effective care to help maintain a healthy skin barrier.

Shannon McCreery, Head of Education at Yon-Ka Ireland, says, “Sensitive skin needs calming care, consistency and respect. Small daily habits, like how you wash, dry and protect your skin, can make a huge difference to long-term comfort.”

5 Expert Tips for Managing Sensitive Skin

  1. During a flare-up, pare your routine right back
    When sensitivity flares, less is more. Strip your routine back to the basics and focus on gentle, non-irritating steps only. This gives the skin barrier time to recover and helps prevent further inflammation.
  2. Strengthen the natural barrier
    Protect sensitive skin by strengthening its natural barrier. The invisible shield that locks in moisture and keeps irritants out. When this barrier is healthy and balanced, skin stays calm, hydrated, and resilient; when it’s compromised, redness, tightness, and flare-ups follow. Gentle care, barrier-supporting ingredients, and minimal disruption help reinforce this vital defence, allowing sensitive skin to feel comfortable, balanced, and protected every day.
  3. Be cautious with exfoliation and treatments
    Even mild exfoliation or advanced treatments can overstimulate sensitive skin. Keep exfoliation minimal and avoid it entirely during periods of irritation or compromised skin comfort.
  4. Introduce changes slowly and one at a time
    Sensitive skin needs clarity. Whether it’s skincare, professional treatments or lifestyle changes, introducing one new element at a time makes it easier to identify triggers and avoid unnecessary reactions.
  5. Reduce friction and physical stress on the skin
    Rubbing with towels, face cloths or cleansing devices can aggravate sensitivity. Pat skin dry gently and be mindful of anything that repeatedly touches the face, such as scarves, masks or pillowcases.

The ‘Soothe, Calm & Balance’ Bundle brings together three of Yon-Ka’s most relied-upon formulas, carefully selected for their complementary actions and proven results. Designed to work in synergy, the routine helps to visibly reduce redness, relieve discomfort and restore skin comfort over time.
