Sensitive Skin
Do you dread trying to find a cosmetic because you know that the chances are that will cause your skin to burn and red? You have a bathroom cupboard full of creams and lotions that you used only once or twice because they reacted badly with your face? So you’ve got sensitive skin, which is probably the most frustrating to have the skin type. So how can you handle it?
The main problems with sensitive skin are redness, burning, tightness, dryness and irritation. This type of skin can also be prone to dermatitis, eczema or acne. The first approach would be to find out if an allergy is causing the problem.
A dermatologist can perform a test patch to see if you are susceptible to one of the most common allergens. It can be an ingredient in a cosmetic, it can even be a food allergy or food intolerance. If allergy is ruled out, the problem is genetic and there are still several things that can be done to improve the situation.
When you buy a cosmetically always look for “hypoallergenic” on the label. This means that not ensure that won’t reply to your skin, but it does mean that some or most common allergens are omitted from the product, such as sulphates, perfumes and some colors, see the label if you are unsure.
Preservatives used to increase the shelf life of a product can be some of the main irritants. Put a little bit on a small patch of skin before spreading all over your face.
Try to find products with fewer ingredients, more ingredients of a product, the more likely your skin will find it doesn’t like it! Avoid perfumes in anything you put on your face, it is an unnecessary ingredient and included only to make the product commercially unacceptable.
Don’t use exfoliants on sensitive skin, even the gentlest ones are still too harsh, ditto with harsh soaps. Forget toners and astringents that contain alcohol, they are too drying. Try cleansing only at night with perhaps a splash of warm water in the mornings, over-cleansing can irritate sensitive skins. Read the rest of this entry »
