The Glow Back™ Method: Gentle Skincare Products That Help (and When to Use Them) Part 3
Posted by Jentri Quinn on Sep 11th 2025
Ciao, Beautiful!
Not all “gentle” is equal. Here are my tried-and-trusted picks for sensitive, compromised, or post-treatment skin—and when they shine.
Everyday Cleansers & Moisturizers
• CeraVe / Cetaphil / Aveeno (cleanser): Fragrance-free, barrier-supportive basics.
• CeraVe (with SPF) / Aveeno (moisturizer): Simple daily hydrators that play nicely under sunscreen.
Targeted Soothe & Repair
• La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5: Protective balm with panthenol + madecassoside; great for sore spots and barrier repair (can feel heavy in heat—spot use is fine).
• Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream: Thermal-water–rich barrier cream; thicker texture, lovely at night or on specific areas.
• Weleda Skin Food: Ultra-rich body cream for rough, dry patches.
• Alra Therapy Lotion: Hospital-trusted, fragrance-free lotion with aloe, lanolin, and allantoin; absorbs fast and feels gentle on tender skin. (Code JENTRI25 saves 25% at alra.com.)
When to Use Which (quick guide)
• Active flare with pain/visible rash: Cicaplast Baume B5 or Avène Cicalfate+ for a protective, repairing layer
• Very tender, raw-feeling skin: Alra Therapy Lotion for ultra-gentle moisture without heaviness
• Maintenance between flares: A gentle daily moisturizer like CeraVe or our beloved Whipped Face Butter to keep the barrier steady
How to layer (face or body)
• On clean skin: hydrating serum → cream → optional oil
• Apply within 60 seconds of bathing to trap water in the skin
• Morning: finish with SPF 30+ (face, neck, chest, and any exposed skin)
Glow Note: Your skin is resilient. With small, steady choices, it remembers how to glow—no rushing, just respect.
Remember, the more you know, the more you glow.
