Stressed, reactive skin
Why does skin become stressed and reactive?
01
Stress and lack of recovery
Stress and a lack of recovery can affect the skin's balance and make it more reactive. When the body is exposed to long-term stress, the skin can become more sensitive and react more easily to things it previously tolerated.
02
Skincare that strains the skin
Strong acids, peels, active ingredients and fragrances can be taxing for sensitive, already reactive skin. When the skin barrier is weakened, it can be important to simplify your routine and choose mild, nourishing and caring products.
03
Diet and nutrition
The skin needs the right nutrients and essential fatty acids to maintain its barrier function and its ability to retain moisture. That's why it can be worth reviewing both your diet and nutrition when your skin is out of balance.
04
Hormonal changes
Hormonal changes can affect the skin's moisture balance and sensitivity. During different periods of life, the skin can therefore change and need adapted care and more support to maintain its balance.
05
Weather and environment
Cold, wind, dry air, changes in the weather and other external stresses can affect the skin's natural barrier. Sensitive skin can then become drier, tighter and more reactive.
06
Sleep and lifestyle
Sleep, exercise, diet and recovery are all part of the bigger picture when your skin needs to get back in balance. Making room for recovery and good everyday habits is an important part of self-care.

STEP 2
When your skin isn't reactive
Keep strengthening your skin from within with Q Omega Supreme. Add the facial toner Q Balancing Booster, which also helps to balance the skin, for maximum hydration. If you're still dry and want more radiance, you can add more natural oils that help the skin retain moisture. You can use the unscented Blackcurrant Oil or the lightly scented Intensive Nourishing Serum.
In that case, first apply a thin layer of oil/serum and then the unscented Quick Repair Cream or the lightly scented Intensive Nourishing Cream.

Extra tips along the way
Be patient with your skin. When your skin is stressed and reactive, it needs time, calm and consistent self-care to regain its balance. Keep your routine simple and introduce new products gradually. Listen to your skin and let its needs guide the way forward.

"Christmas stress, sugar and gluten are a disaster for my complexion, which then breaks out in rashes and spots. Christmas 2024 really left its mark, but as early as January 2025 I started using Quick Repair Cream and Q Omega Supreme, and my skin got much better.
When Christmas 2025 turned out to be just as stressful again, with plenty of Christmas sweets, the consequences were nowhere near as bad as the year before. I felt that the support from within with Q Omega Supreme, together with continuing to use Quick Repair Cream, made a big difference."
