Suffering from Dry and Sensitive Skin?

Discover Niki Newd’s Solution for Sensitive and Dry Skin

Sensitive and dry skin can be more than just a minor annoyance—it can be a source of daily discomfort and frustration. The constant battle against flakiness, tightness, and irritation can make even the simplest skincare routines feel overwhelming. If you’re someone who struggles with  sensitive and dry skin, you’re certainly not alone. Many people experience the same challenges, but the good news is that there is hope for relief.


At Niki Newd, we’ve spent years researching and developing products that cater specifically to the needs of sensitive and dry skin. We understand that finding the right balance in skincare is essential to maintaining healthy, comfortable skin. Through our experience, we’ve identified some key practices and products that can make a significant difference in your skincare journey. If you’re ready to embrace a routine that truly nourishes and protects your skin, read on to discover our gentle solution.

The Common Culprit: Harsh Cleansing Habits

One of the most common mistakes people make with sensitive and dry skin is over cleansing. It might seem counterintuitive, but scrubbing your face vigorously, especially in the morning, can actually exacerbate the very problems you’re trying to solve. Many people believe that their skin needs to be thoroughly washed multiple times a day to stay clean and healthy. However, this approach can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to increased dryness and sensitivity.

Your skin is a delicate organ with its own natural balance, including a protective barrier that helps retain moisture. When you over-cleanse, especially with harsh products, you disrupt this balance, leaving your skin vulnerable to irritation. One often overlooked factor is the pH of tap water. While generally considered neutral, tap water can be too alkaline for sensitive skin types, further drying out and irritating your skin. The ideal pH level for skin health is slightly acidic, around 4.5, which helps maintain the skin's natural barrier and prevents moisture loss.


With this in mind, we recommend rethinking your cleansing routine. Instead of washing your face in the morning, consider a gentler approach. Daily cleansing in the evening with our Oatmeal Soap is sufficient for most people. By allowing your skin to maintain its natural oils and barrier function overnight, you can wake up to skin that feels more balanced and comfortable.

Daily Cleansing Summary for Sensitive and Dry Skin:

Evening: Cleanse with Niki Newd’s Oatmeal Soap. This gentle cleanser respects your skin’s natural balance while effectively removing impurities.

Morning: Skip the wash unless necessary. If you live in a highly polluted environment or have specific concerns, a light wash with our Oatmeal Soap in the morning can be beneficial.

OATMEAL SOAP

  • Oatmeal Soap gently daily cleanser
  • Nurturing
  • Naturally antioxidative and anti-inflammatory qualities
  • All skin types, especially sensitive, atopic, acne prone and dry skin, vegans, unisex
  • Oats  prevent the itching and protect skin from the harmful effects of UV-radiation. Oats have been used to moisturize, cleanse and calm the skin.

Skin Glow and Skin Silk: Antioxidant-Rich Relief

When it comes to skincare for sensitive and dry skin, less is often more. Piling on multiple products with complex formulations can overwhelm your skin and lead to further irritation. Instead, focus on using high-quality, nutrient-rich products that support your skin’s health without burdening it with unnecessary ingredients.


Two of our most beloved products at Niki Newd—Skin Glow and Skin Silk oil serum—are designed with this philosophy in mind. These prodcuts are crafted specifically to soothe and revitalize stressed dry skin, providing the hydration and nourishment your skin craves.

SKIN GLOW

  • Formulated to calm, energize and brighten your complexion. 
  • It’s packed with antioxidants, which are essential for protecting your skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause significant damage to your skin cells, leading to premature aging and increased sensitivity. By neutralizing these harmful molecules, antioxidants play a critical role in maintaining your skin’s health and vitality.
  • Designed to enhance your skin’s natural radiance.
  • It’s perfect for those who want to boost their complexion’s overall brightness and resilience. 
  • Makes it an excellent choice for morning and evening use, leaving your skin feeling nurished.
  • Also around your eye.

SKIN SILK

  • Boost your skin's radiance with Lycopene pre-retinol, Omega fatty acids, Vitamin E, Phytosterols and Phenolic compounds.
  • Light and silky in consistency, hydrated, softened. Skin Silk leaves a beautiful light silky skin feel and absorbs very well.
  • As a day and night oil serum. 
  • Works beautifully also around the eyes. Unisex. 

Both products are crafted with sensitive and dry skin in mind, ensuring that each ingredient works in harmony with your skin’s natural properties. Whether you choose Skin Glow or Skin Silk, you can rest assured that you’re giving your skin the gentle care it deserves.

Daily Skincare Product Summary for sensitive and dry skin:

Evening: Apply Skin Silk or Skin Glow to freshly cleansed skin, including the delicate eye area. You can combine Skin Glow and Skin Silk if your skin requires a more nourishing blend.

Morning: Skip the wash unless necessary, and apply Skin Silk or Skin Glow, or a combination of both.

The Importance of a Healthy Diet

While skincare products play a vital role in maintaining healthy skin, it’s essential to remember that what you put inside your body is just as important as what you apply on the outside. A healthy diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids can significantly impact the condition of your skin.


For those with sensitive and dry skin, it’s particularly important to consume foods that support skin hydration and repair. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, are excellent for maintaining the skin’s lipid barrier and preventing moisture loss. Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, such as berries, spinach, and sweet potatoes, provide the nutrients your skin needs to combat oxidative stress and maintain its health.
