Dry + Sensitive Skin

Not sure whether you have dry skin? Here are the most common signs that you may have dry skin: Dry skin often becomes tight after washing, has small pores, may contain flaky patches, develops fine lines and wrinkles more quickly than other skin types, may feel itchy or irritated at times, and is especially vulnerable to colder temperatures and harsher weather conditions. 

Sensitive skin can be reactive to many ingredients, and may develop a rash, irritation, or redness after using common ingredients and products. Those with sensitive skin often also have dry skin, their skin is greatly affected by weather conditions, dry air, and colder temperatures in addition to being sensitive to many ingredients commonly found in skincare products.

If you have dry and/or sensitive skin, then you're in the right place! We've formulated our line specifically for you. Our products are extremely gentle, nourishing, and were made for those of all skin types. Fawn Lily Botanica's owner and maker, Irene, created our entire product line after struggling to find products that didn't irritate her naturally dry and sensitive skin, and all of our products have been formulated and extensively tested by her.

For dry and sensitive skin types, we recommend washing twice per day with plain water. After washing, spritz with a facial toner, and once the toner has dried, apply facial serum. During the winter months, before bedtime, and if skin needs extra protection and moisturization, then we recommend sealing the serum in with facial balm. Herbal salve, facial balm, or facial serum may be used on flaky and dry spots throughout the day as needed.

Once per week, use a facial steam, exfoliating grains, and apply a clay mask to deeply cleanse pores, stimulate circulation, and remove dead skin cells which helps with the absorption of moisturizer. For dry skin, the clay mask and exfoliating grains can be mixed with coconut milk, yogurt, honey, oil, or half and half to help moisturize and prevent over drying.
