Introduction
When it comes to dealing with sensitive skin, choosing the right skincare products is crucial to maintaining a healthy, glowing complexion without causing irritation, breakouts, and redness. Having sensitive skin is one of the most common elements we share here at the CottonNow office, and we are constantly sharing how we nourish our picky skin. During last week's outing trip, our coworker girlies discussed the best products we use personally in our skincare routine. Kylie, one of our social media managers, passionately shared her love for the brand IMAGE. So, for today's post, we have Kylie here to share her two best IMAGE products that can be used with our PureNatura towels for glowy, healthy, sensitive skin.

I. Image Skincare Vital C Hydrating Facial Cleanser

$66
A creamy, hydrating cleanser that gently removes makeup and impurities while nourishing skin with essential daily vitamins and antioxidants. Great Image product for sensitive skin!
This product, along with the rest of the Vital C line in IMAGE's catalog, is a true cult classic. Other than the cleanser, I sometimes also use the Vital C serum/moisturizer instead, depending on how my skin is doing. If I see more bumps or I feel like I am on the verge of breaking out, I switch to another cleanser that is more geared towards acne and use the Vital C hydrating serum instead.
When my skin is clear, I switch back to the cleanser and use a lighter moisturizer. I love this line because hydration is so important for sensitive skin. Hydration allows the skin to naturally heal itself from a long day of pollution, dirt, sweat, and more impurities.
This cleanser is excellent at hydrating and cleansing the skin so it doesn't irritate and dry out. Although more expensive than your regular cleanser or serum, I can truly tell the difference right after my routine. There are quite a few reviews online about this line of products, and you can learn more about them.
II. Image Skincare Prevention+ Daily Ultimate Protection Moisturizer SPF 50

$106
Another great Image product for sensitive skin. Its a moisturizer plus a sunscreen so its super convenient and comes in real clutch in the morning when you are in a rush!
For sensitive skin, a high SPF moisturizer that doesn't irritate or clog pores is a must. The Prevention+ Daily Ultimate Protection Moisturizer SPF 50 provides broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection with a formula that's light enough for sensitive skin types. It hydrates while protecting against sun exposure, which can exacerbate sensitivity and other skin issues. When you apply it, it is not greasy at all, as it dries out really fast. This makes applying makeup really easy, and I appreciate this when I am running late for work in the mornings (sorry, May, LOL).
III. Finally, How I Use Our Very Own PureNatura Towels to Take My Routine to Another Level for Sensitive Skin.
When I first joined CottonNow, I was living in a small apartment in New York that didn't have an in-unit washer and dryer. I would take my towels to the washer and wash them every two weeks in batches, but most of the time, I got lazy and waited until I really had no choice but to wash them. In that period, I started using the Vital C cleanser from Image and saw great results. My skin was dewy and plump, and I loved it. However, I could not get rid of the acne on my cheeks. I knew it wasn't the Vital C's problem because it's rare for cleansers and moisturizers to lead to acne on my skin.
After learning about CottonNow, I realized towels could be the issue. Exactly like I guessed, after a month of ditching my normal bathroom towels for PureNatura, along with all the hydration that helped my skin heal itself, I finally ended the year-long streak of acne breakouts on my cheeks and I no longer needed to get stressed about needing to walk over to the washers to wash my towels.
Everyone living in cold areas knows how serious the weather is and how dry and vulnerable our skin is. In a vulnerable state, the skin is much more sensitive to bacteria and chemical irritation, which can lead to acne that never stops until you solve the core problem. What helped me shake off the breakouts was a combination of Vital C products from Image that helped with hydration and the PureNatura towels that helped with bacteria-free cleansing. It really feels like a full circle moment for me now that I am working here full time and I feel great having the opportunity to share my story.
Conclusion
Sensitive skin requires careful treatment, and choosing the right products helped my skin deal with the extreme cold weather of New York. I now swear by my Image Vital C products and PureNatura, and I have been telling all my girlfriends about them. I hope you guys gave these a shot, too!
Q&A
Image Skincare products are formulated with high-quality, gentle ingredients that nourish and protect sensitive skin without causing irritation. Their products contain soothing botanicals and are free from harsh chemicals, making them ideal for maintaining the health and balance of sensitive skin.
PureNatura™ towels provide a hygienic way to dry and pat the skin after cleansing or applying products, reducing the risk of bacterial transfer from traditional, reusable towels. This is particularly beneficial for sensitive skin, which is more prone to irritation and breakouts from bacteria and residue.
Vitamin C is crucial for sensitive skin because it helps to soothe inflammation, boost collagen production, and protect against environmental damage without harsh effects. The Vital C Hydrating Facial Cleanser from Image Skincare gently cleanses while nourishing the skin with antioxidants, making it a perfect match for sensitive skin types.
