Sent by: Lactic Acid Peel. It’s no secret that dry sensitive skin is also very difficult to take care of. Because of the deficient lubrication and the tight sensation of the skin, this dryness could easily cause the formation of wrinkles from the simple expression lines. Moreover, such a skin specificity makes one prone to allergic reactions, rashes, capillaries breaking and sudden flushes. Therefore, the dry sensitive skin care could prove quite a challenge at times. Moreover, dry sensitive skin is encountered regardless of gender, age or race.
The choice of cleansing, moisturizing and make up products ought to include some preventive measures when you have to care for dry sensitive skin. First of all, you need to minimize the amount of products you put on the face; the more the chemicals one comes into contact with, the higher the chances to develop rashes. All the products have to be fragrance free and hypo-allergenic so that you don’t develop red irritation blotches.
The blusher and the foundation could raise some problems for dry sensitive skin.
Avoid using too much make-up for a normal and unhindered skin breathing. When shopping for make up, other than the hypo-allergenic feature, you should also pay attention that they be oil free. Water-based foundation and blusher make excellent choices because the risk of pore clogging is lower. Oil absorbing foundations are not recommended to dry sensitive skin, because they will make your epidermis even drier.
It is not recommended to use exfoliants or astringent products on dry sensitive skin because they could irritate the thin epidermis. The same thing must be said in relation to cleaning: over-washing the face means eliminating the natural oils that lubricate the tissues, which will result in an accelerated dryness.
Furthermore, make sure that the daytime moisturizer has an incorporated SPF (sun-protection factor) of at least 15. Then, although you may like sunbathing, dry sensitive skin doesn’t allow you much to enjoy such outdoor pleasures.
Premature aging and skin problems are the main consequences of sunbathing. And finally, a warning must be signaled in relation to the changes of one cosmetic product for another. When you have made up your mind to switch to a different skincare brand, it is important to test the product on a small skin portion to check whether it triggers any allergic reaction or other negative manifestations.
