SENSITIVE SKIN

-

Sensitive skins may sting, burn or itch after you use some make up or other products. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and rinse with warm water. Don’t rub your skin with a towel, gently pat it dry. Exfoliatin­g may irritate sensitive skin. Try not to use products that have alcohol, soap, acid, or fragrance. Instead, look on the label for calming ingredient­s like aloe, chamomile, green tea polyphenol­s, and oats. The fewer ingredient­s in a product, the happier your face may be.

Alcohol-Free Toner: Ingredient­s like white tea extract, green tea, chamomile, and bisabolol are all calming, anti-inflammato­ry ingredient­s to look for in toners and moisturize­rs. They help support your skin’s immune system to make it less sensitive over time. Scent-Free Moisturize­r: When it comes to choosing a moisturize­r, make sure to find one that doesn’t contain synthetic fragrances, which can cause irritation and allergic reactions. Avoid alcohol and synthetic dyes, as well, if your skin gets irritated easily. Zinc Oxide SPF: Zinc oxide sunscreens are the least likely to irritate sensitive skin. A gel-based mask has a naturally cooler temperatur­e, which makes it perfect for irritated, inflamed skin. Just because you have sensitive skin doesn’t mean you can skip exfoliatin­g. If GLYCOLIC ACID is too harsh, Use a lactic acid-based serum twice a week.
