Farm Stay Sika Palm: Cica-Cleansing for Sensitive Skin
The Farm Stay Sika Palm collection pairs centella asiatica extract (the "sika" in cica skincare) with palm-derived fatty acids to deliver gentle yet thorough cleansing without stripping the moisture barrier. Whether your skin skews dry, combination, or acne-prone, there is a step in this line to address it.
What Is the Sika Palm Complex?
Sika refers to the centella asiatica (cica) extract widely used in K-beauty to calm redness and support the skin's barrier. Palm here means palm-kernel-derived emollients that add slip and nourishment. Together they soften cleansing action so the skin feels balanced, not tight, after washing.
Key Products in the Line
The lineup includes: Carming Cleansing Balm (95 ml) for first-cleanse oil removal; Nature Solution Cleansing Foam (180 ml) for second-cleanse; Acne Foam Cleanser (180 ml) for blemish-prone skin; Regenerating Solution Emulsion (200 ml) and Cream (50 ml) for daily moisture; Blemish Clear Ampoule (100 ml) for spot treatment; and Sika Palm Eyepatches (60 count) for under-eye care.
Building a Double-Cleanse Routine
Start with the Carming Cleansing Balm on dry skin to dissolve SPF and makeup. Massage for 60 seconds, add water to emulsify, and rinse. Follow with the Nature Solution Cleansing Foam on damp skin for a water-based second cleanse. Pat dry - you should not feel any tightness.
Adapted Steps for Acne-Prone Skin
Swap the standard foam for the Acne Foam Cleanser in your second step. Its lighter, non-comedogenic formula removes residue without over-drying active breakouts. Follow with the Blemish Clear Ampoule targeted at individual spots before applying your regular moisturizer.
Extending the Routine to Body Care
The Sika Palm Carming Body Wash (500 ml) uses the same cica-palm complex for full-body sensitive-skin care. Pair it weekly with the Baking Powder Sika Palm Fore Scrub (175 ml) to gently buff keratosis or rough patches before applying body lotion.
Getting the Most from the Eye Patches
Refrigerate the 60-count Eyepatches for 10 minutes before use. Apply to clean under-eye skin for 20 minutes, morning or evening. The cool temperature reduces puffiness while the cica complex addresses dark circles over time with consistent use.
Which Skin Types Benefit Most?
Sensitive and reactive skin sees the fastest improvement because cica directly addresses redness and irritation. Dry skin benefits from the palm emollient nourishment. Oily and combination skin can use the balm-then-foam double-cleanse without over-stripping. Acne-prone skin should favour the dedicated acne foam and the ampoule over heavier emulsions.
Storage and Shelf Life
Store all products below 25 °C, away from direct sunlight. Balms and creams benefit from refrigerating in summer to preserve texture. Opened products are typically best used within 12 months; look for the PAO (period-after-opening) symbol on each package for the manufacturer's guidance.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does "Sika Palm" mean in the Farm Stay line?
"Sika" is shorthand for centella asiatica (cica), a herb used in K-beauty to calm and repair sensitive skin. "Palm" refers to palm-kernel-derived fatty acids that add nourishment and help the products spread smoothly without stripping moisture.
Is the Sika Palm range safe for sensitive or reactive skin?
Yes. The line is formulated around centella asiatica, which is clinically recognized for reducing redness and reinforcing the skin barrier - two primary concerns for sensitive skin. The cleansers are low-irritant and free of harsh surfactants that cause tightness.
Can people with oily skin use the Carming Cleansing Balm?
Yes. Cleansing balms emulsify with water and rinse away completely, so they do not leave oily residue even on oily skin. The key is following with a water-based second cleanse (the Nature Solution Foam) to ensure thorough removal.
How is the Sika Palm Acne Foam Cleanser different from the Nature Solution Foam?
The Acne Foam Cleanser is formulated to address blemish-prone skin with a lighter, non-comedogenic surfactant blend. The Nature Solution Foam is a milder general-purpose cleanser suited to everyday use on normal-to-dry skin. Both perform as second-cleanse steps.
In what order should I use the cleansing products?
Step 1: Apply the Carming Cleansing Balm on dry skin to dissolve sunscreen and makeup. Emulsify with water and rinse. Step 2: Follow with either the Nature Solution Foam or the Acne Foam Cleanser on damp skin as a water-based cleanse. Rinse and pat dry.
How do I use the Sika Palm Blemish Clear Ampoule?
Apply 2-3 drops directly onto cleansed skin after toning. You can apply it all over the face or concentrate it on blemish-prone zones. Let it absorb for 30 seconds before layering your emulsion or cream on top.
How long should I wear the Sika Palm Eyepatches?
Leave them on for 15 to 20 minutes. Refrigerating the patches before use amplifies the de-puffing effect. Do not exceed 30 minutes, as the patches dry out and can draw moisture back from the skin.
Is the Sika Palm Body Wash suitable for daily use?
Yes, the Carming Body Wash is designed for daily use. Its cica-palm complex is gentle enough for everyday cleansing while being effective at removing sweat and daily grime. It is also suitable for use on eczema-prone body skin, though a patch test is recommended.
How often should I use the Baking Powder Fore Scrub?
One to two times per week is sufficient for most skin types. Over-exfoliating can compromise the barrier the cica complex is trying to reinforce. If your skin is sensitive or reactive, start with once per week and increase only if your skin tolerates it.
Do I need the full Sika Palm routine or can I use individual products?
Individual products work well on their own or integrated into your existing routine. The cleansers are the most commonly used entry points. You do not need to buy the entire line - pick the products that target your specific concerns and layer them with other compatible K-beauty products.
Are the Farm Stay products on skinsli.com authentic?
Yes. Skinsli sources Farm Stay products directly through authorized Korean wholesale channels. All products are original Korean market editions with Korean-language packaging (photos on the listing show the actual product).
How long does shipping take for Farm Stay orders?
Standard international shipping from Korea typically takes 7 to 14 business days. Expedited options may be available at checkout. Tracking is provided once the order ships.
