Sensitive skin facial care: the benefits
Do you have redness on your face, skin that tingles and feels tight... don’t look any further, you simply have sensitive skin! Beyond the discomfort it causes, sensitive skin requires daily care whose benefits help it rebuild and stay hydrated. Make sure your skin is truly sensitive, as it is often confused with dry skin.
What does sensitive skin need?
Sensitive skin is highly reactive to the slightest external aggression. It needs to be soothed to avoid these excessive reactions. Often, it is confused with dry skin because they look similar, but their needs are different. Dry skin lacks sebum, which can make it appear irritated, while sensitive skin reacts to natural aggressors that are normally tolerated, such as tap water.
What care for sensitive skin?
The benefits of products for sensitive skin are numerous. They hydrate and repair the epidermis while being hypoallergenic to avoid excessive reactions. In general, sensitive skin care products are natural and do not contain parabens, alcohol, or coloring agents.
When you have very sensitive skin, it is recommended to use organic products to avoid all additives that can cause an allergic reaction. Sensitive skin needs to be moisturized. Choose a rich cream designed for reactive skin that should not contain any fragrance.
Actions to avoid
It’s not just products that can irritate your skin and cause reactions. It is important to avoid hard tap water and do not rub your face to dry it, but gently pat it instead. Also avoid harsh exfoliants to remove dead skin cells. It is recommended to do a gentle exfoliation once a month.
