Diet, how much time spent in the sun, genetics, what cosmetic products you use, if you smoke, if you drink, stress and your sleep routine all contribute to the complexion and health of your skin.
What is sensitive skin?
Many people will say they have sensitive skin if they’ve ever had an adverse reaction to a skincare product. But inferior products can leave people with even the hardiest of skin dry and irritated. In clinical terms, sensitive skin is a skin type that has any of the following types of characteristics or conditions, either alone or in combination:
- They flush easily
- Their skin is acne prone
- They are prone to having dry skin
- Rosacea
- Psoriasis
- Eczema
- Allergic dermatitis
- Skin Bumps
- Erosion
Anyone can have sensitive skin. Your age, gender, or ethnicity have no bearing on whether or not you will have these types of sensitive skin conditions. If you have any of these skin conditions, it’s vital that you can find skin facials that include gentle exfoliators, enzyme peels, and other treatments that will leave your skin soft, radiant, and healthy looking.
Choosing the Right Products for Sensitive Skin
No matter what type of sensitive skin issue you’re dealing with, there are skin care products on the market that are gentle enough for you and that are still strong enough to treat and soothe your skin condition.
At its core, care for sensitive skin should be as simple and as basic as possible. People with dry, acne or redness-prone skin should stay away from facial treatments that have harsh, synthetic chemical ingredients or are full of added fragrances. The more natural the product, the smaller the ingredients list, and the more easily you can pronounce the ingredients, the better for your skin.
Whatever you do, stay away from deep cleansing products and other facial treatments that contain dyes or fragrances. Fake chemicals like these are the number one cause of sensitive skin flare-ups. Parabens, sulfates, and alcohol tend to be too drying, and retinol creams and AHA’s are often too strong for people with sensitive skin. Also, steer clear of products that use “gimmicky” marketing techniques. These products often contain synthetic ingredients that make them high-risk venture for sensitive skin types.
To keep things simple, look for organic and all natural products or ask for facial treatment recommendations from your dermatologist that are specially formulated for sensitive skin. It’s possible to find deep cleansing products that clear away dead skin and dead skin cells without leaving you with a flare up or adverse reaction from harsh ingredients. Also, look for a moisturising formula.
People with acne-prone skin may feel the need to use powerful cleansers, but drying out the skin can damage the skin’s natural barrier, causing redness, itching, and worsening acne flareups. For those who battle breakouts, it’s still important to find a cleanser that isn’t too drying and to follow up with a moisturiser that mimics the natural skin barrier. Remember, less is always more when it comes to finding useful products for sensitive skin types.
What about makeup for sensitive skin?
If you want to minimize the appearance of fine lines, and give your skin a healthy glow and refreshed appearance, you’ll want to look for makeup products that are formulated for sensitive skin types. When shopping for cosmetics, the rules are the same for sensitive skin types – less is more. Fortunately, there are a lot of natural and organic cosmetics on the market today that are also effective enough to give you the look you want. But stay away from makeup products that are marketed as “waterproof.” Waterproof makeup will require a stronger cleanser to get it off your face once the day is over. A waterproof eyeliner or mascara is not ideal for sensitive skin types. It’s possible to find a setting spray or eye makeup primer for sensitive skin that will keep your eye makeup from smudging or running.
If you’re on the hunt for a foundation product for sensitive skin, mineral makeup is often the best choice. They are usually free of synthetic dyes, chemicals, and fragrances, and they’re also non comedogenic, which means they won’t clog pores. But keep in mind that mineral makeups come in a powder form, and powders can highlight fine lines and creases. A silicone-based cream or liquid cover up can give you a smooth appearance without causing any adverse reactions. Also, make sure you purchase new makeup and facial cleansers and moisturisers as soon as your old products expire. Expired products can cause a reaction in sensitive skin types. Plus, the materials break down in the expired product, and it won’t be able to do its job correctly.
