Skin types and textures may be of
variety of kinds. Out of these sensitive skin is one of them. We often have to
use so many products on our skin that we
must know how it reacts to their ingredients, otherwise one wrong product and
it may bring a myriad of backlash that may result in irritation, allergy, scars
or pimples.
Thus sensitive skin must be taken proper care of. Besides, this
type of skin must also be kept clean, must be properly covered against the sun
and should be well moisturized. Feels like a lot of work isn't? Well not, for
just following few simple and easy tips, sensitive skin can be well-preserved
and can be easily taken care of. If you are the one who is in the search of an
easy guide to care for their sensitive skin, the following information can be
of some help:
1. Keep it Simple:
Well yes, literally, for it is more likely that more products you use and try
on your skin, the more possibility it is to come across an ingredient that may
start off some reaction. Thus for the sake of your already delicate skin, use
minimum of products for your skin type.
2.Take a Patch test:
This is an absolute essential. Before using any product on the whole skin, try
using a little amount of it on a small patch of skin. If it does not produce
any reaction within 24 hours, then have a go at it, otherwise refrain.
3. Take your makeup off before
going to bed: This is something that needs no further emphasizing
and definitely does not deserve any excuse. Regardless of how much you are
tired or how much late it is, remember to take your makeup off before falling
asleep. This is especially more important for the sensitive skin for obvious
reasons. Thus, it is clearly evident that the longer you will allow dust, dirt
and makeup to stay on the skin, the more likely it is to produce a reaction.
4. Take your Hands Off:
Most of us are in a regular habit of touching our face after little gaps. This
make the skin on the face vulnerable to bacteria and germs transferred from the
hands. If at all the need arises to touch the face, then use a clean tissue or
an anti-bacterial wipe for the purpose.
5. Stay Hydrated: For a healthy glowing skin as well as keeping the
toxins away, it is important to drink at least eight to ten glasses of water
everyday. And this applies both for the summers and winters when usually there
is a less tendency to drink water.
6. Stay Chilled Out:
This is another important but often less emphasized tip for taking care of
sensitive skin. Stress not only dehydrates but also can cause flare-ups which
can irritate sensitive skin. If you ever find yourself under the influence of
stress then try doing yoga and meditation as well as a consistent effort to
keep yourself chilled and stress free.
