Sensitive skincare

Many individuals have a problem with sensitive skin and sensitive skin is the skin most likely to develop skin infections or to show allergic reactions to the chemicals, fragrances, and dyes found in products that come into contact with the skin.

In general, sensitive skin is defined as not a medical diagnosis, but a symptom of skin with a low tolerance for certain types of cosmetics or skincare products.

For the most part, sensitive skin is a symptom of some invisible skin problems, so finding or avoiding key causes or stimuli may help to prevent or avoid sensitive skin problems.

 

People with sensitive skin may feel uncomfortable and disturbed by anything that can touch the skin, however, these symptoms may improve with some lifestyle changes, and follow the proper foundations of sensitive skincare.

Home ways to care for sensitive skin

Some home remedies can help relieve the symptoms of irritated skin or take care of sensitive skin and prevent stimuli that irritate, including:

 

1.     Use oatmeal preparations

Products containing colloidal oatmeal, such as oatmeal paste or colloidal oat bath, help treat sensitive skin symptoms, such as dry skin, rashes, and eczema.

 

2. Use refreshments

Preparations made up of certain beverages, oils or anti-allergic substances can help moisturize dry sensitive skin without irritation, including lactic acid preparations, urea, coconut oil, or shea butter. 

Caution: It is necessary to test the product on a small area of the skin before using it on the affected skin.

 

3. Use cosmetics suitable for sensitive skin

For women with sensitive skin, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends:

Use silicone foundation to reduce skin irritation.

Black eyeliner or black mascara pens are recommended, as they may show fewer allergic reactions than other colors.

Use kohl pens, eyeliners, or dry lips instead of liquid, because liquid preparations for these types contain latex and may cause allergic reactions to sensitive skin.

Use a face powder that contains a small percentage of preservatives.

Water-resistant cosmetics are not preferred, due to the difficulty of removing them.

Avoid using old cosmetics because they can be contaminated or corrupted.

4. Proper cleaning

Wash the skin thoroughly every day and gently, using gentle cleansers on the skin that do not contain strong chemical cleansers and are free of fragrances.

It is recommended to use cleansing creams that do not contain irritating substances for the skin, and the skin should be cleansed of cosmetics before going to sleep.
