Skincare for Irritated Skin - Sensitive Skin Care
Does your face goes red and blotchy? Or do you get itchy and burning sensation?
This is a clear sign of having a sensitive skin. People with sensitive skin usually have a thin or very fine textured skin.
The skin tends to react to sudden change of temparature, both hot and cold.
People with sensitive skin have a tendency to get sunburn and windburn easily, too.
If you suddenly developed the sensitive skin, particularly in a localised area, it could be due to an allergic reaction from your skin care or make up products.
The tips to combat with the sensitive skin as following;
- Step 1: Use a Alcohol Free Toner
- Any skin care product which contains alcohol (mostly Toners) is a main factor to cause irritations on the skin.If your skin is very sensitive, try to use alchol + fragrance free toner.Aveda All Sensitive Toner is the one of them (see the picture below).
- Step 2: Apply an Alchol Free calming emulsion / lotion, before applying a moisturiser
- Step 3: Change your cotton pillow cases to silky satin ones.
A calming emusion is a life saver for sensitive skin. The product works on a deep layer of the skin where nerves cause irritatiions, and calms the skin immediately.
I love Chanel’s Precision Solution Destressante Calming Emulsion. It is very effective for any skin irritations, including after shaving or waxing and skin rashes. I found it even worked on mosquito bites!
Surprisingly, a cotton pillow case can irritate the skin while you are in sleep.
A silky satin case would be more ideal for sensitive skin, as it doesn’t cause the irritation as much as a cotton one.
Swap it to the satin one and have a lovely beauty sleep.
