How to Care for Sensitive Skin
If your skin feels weak or delicate and gets red and blotchy frequently, you probably have sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is highly susceptible to the weather especially extremely hot or cold climatic conditions. Even some spicy food products can trigger a reaction in sensitive skin.
If you have sensitive skin, be careful while selecting cosmetics. Certain cosmetics contain harsh chemicals that cause sensitive skin to turn patchy and flaky. If your skin reacts strongly to readymade cosmetics go in for natural sensitive skin care. Most people who have sensitive skin develop skin conditions like acne, rosacea and melesma.
There are several sensitive facial skin care products available that claim to protect this type of skin from damage. But be careful while picking these products because some of these may cause your skin condition to worsen. You should test the product on a patch of your skin before using it. If you’re skeptical about the sensibility of using readymade sensitive facial skin care products, you should go in for herbal remedies.Here are some natural sensitive skin care tips you can follow to keep your skin clear and luminous:
Eat healthy as much as possible. Refrain from gorging on spicy and refined foods. Consume fresh fruits and fruit juices and drink sufficient water to keep your skin hydrated. To firm up and tone sensitive skin smash strawberries and make a paste. Smooth it over your face, leave it on for about 5-10 minutes and rinse. Generally, sensitive skin tends to develop dark circles easily. To lighten dark circles cut slices of cucumber and place them over your eyelids.
Leave them on for about 15 minutes and take them off. Cucumbers are wonderful when it comes to sensitive skin eye care. Drinking green tea regularly may also prevent flare-ups on sensitive skin. Green tea is known to have a soothing effect on the skin.You can smooth yoghurt over your face and wash it off after about 15 minutes. It refreshes the skin and prevents dryness and itchiness.
If you still want to go in for over-the-counter sensitive facial skin care products take the following precautions:
Refrain from using products that contain alcohol. It irritates the skin and may aggravate an existing condition. Select cosmetics that do not emit a strong fragrance and always take a look at the contents. Some cosmetics contain chemicals that are very harsh on the skin.While choosing a sunscreen, ensure that you get one with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15.
If you’ve tried everything and nothing works and your skin is getting redder and itchier by the day, visit a dermatologist. It will save you valuable money and a lot of anxiety wasted over getting drugstore cosmetics. Since sensitive skin differs from person to person, the dermatologist will prescribe a treatment based on your specific condition. So, use these sensitive skin care tips to regain your skin’s lost glory and if in a state of doubt don’t hesitate to consult a dermatologist.
