Calm, Soothe And Strengthen: The Organic Sensitive Skin Facial Built for Reactive Skin

Sensitive skin can have many triggers, from skincare products to environmental factors such as Singapore’s heat and humidity. When your skin becomes reactive and even familiar products start to sting, a gentle facial can help rebalance it without adding further stress. 

The 70-minute Phyt’s Sensi Treatment at Sage & Fawn is one such facial, designed to help reduce the appearance of redness while supporting the skin barrier and soothing reactive complexions. 

Recognised as Best Skin Barrier-Strengthening Facial in our Spa & Wellness Awards this year, the treatment features products from organic French skincare brand Phyt’s Paris, specifically its sensitive skin line. 

These Ecocert-certified formulas are made with 100 per cent natural, botanically derived ingredients, including vegetable squalene to support the skin’s natural protective layer, and natural vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect against environmental stress.

Together with the range’s botanical ingredients, they help to replenish moisture and reinforce the skin barrier. The products are also suitable for use during pregnancy. 

A soothing sensitive skin facial focused on comfort

Spa Awards reviewer Lix Leng was concerned about some redness on her face, and was curious to experience a facial designed with sensitive skin in mind.

The treatment began with double cleansing and exfoliation, followed by extraction. This was one of the highlights for Lix, who found her therapist “thorough without being unnecessarily harsh”. The therapist also placed a bolster under Lix’s knees to make her feel more comfortable – a small detail that made a noticeable difference to her overall experience.

For the face massage that came next, the therapist worked in the Sensi Phyt serum, a blend featuring magnolia, Belle de Nuit and cotton flower extracts selected for their soothing properties and suitability for sensitive skin. The massage was another highlight for Lix, who found the experience particularly relaxing. 

This was followed by the application of a mask which was left on for around 20 minutes, giving the therapist time to perform a shoulder massage. The combination was relaxing enough for Lix to nod off before a finishing lotion completed the facial.

Visibly calmer, less red skin after one session

After the treatment, Lix noticed that her skin looked visibly soothed, with less redness. The facial also left her skin feeling hydrated and comfortable.

Her overall impression was of a facial that prioritised comfort at every stage while still addressing her skin concerns. In fact, Lix liked the experience enough to consider purchasing a session for a friend with sensitive skin.
