If you’ve got sensitive skin it might be getting you down. If so I’ve got some sensitive skin care tips that I can share with you.
Because some people don’t have sensitive skin and some people do have sensitive skin. And if it’s you that has sensitive skin you might need to.
All that annoying blotchiness, redness, inflammation and itchiness can often be controlled.
Of course it may always be worthwhile seeing a dermatologist, but before you consult an expert you can try out some, or all of these remedies. Let science wait till you’ve tried some basic stuff to see if your skin conditions improve.
Sensitive skin care starts with an examination of your cosmetics and skin care products. Believe it or not, many big brand cosmetics and skin care products and anti aging products like creams, face masks and so on, can themselves CAUSE the problems that people with sensitive skin blame on their skin type, not on the products.
On my website I write about the dangerous ingredients that are found in many big brand skin care products and cosmetics.
Things like parabens. If you haven’t read about parabens yet they are a commonly found in many cosmetics and skin care products. Parabens are a range of chemicals that are cheap to use and work as a preservative. And there is quite some doubt about the safety of parabens. For example the cosmetics database lists 2 parabens (there’s quite a few) as a hazard of at least 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. 7 or 8 is “high hazard”.
And a chemical like a paraben can itself cause skin reactions. So, ironically, the very products that you are using may well be causing your skin problems. Maybe or maybe not, but it’s worth finding out.
Many big brand cosmetics and skin care products include similar or the same ingredients, and you may well find that if you change your cosmetic brand to a natural non allergenic cosmetic brand many, or all, of your sensitive skin problems go away.
I have personal experience of this. A while ago my 8 year old daughter did her first ballet concert. They applied cosmetics to her face for the performance.
Within an hour or 2 her face had broken out in a huge rash, and at that point we decided to do something about the cosmetics she used.
So examine your current skin care products carefully. If they are big brand name products from the department store it is likely that they contain ingredients that are not good for sensitive skin.
Use low allergenic laundry detergents too. There are many detergents that also contain ingredients that may cause skin reactions in people with all sorts of skin types. In particular wash sheets and pillow cases with low or non allergenic detergents. Rinse well and avoid any detergents, as well as skin care products and cosmetics, with fragrances.
And even for people with oily or healthy skin fragrances can cause problems.
And if you have specific skin allergy problems a good allergy specialist can also find out if there are any other products that you could be using that are also causing problems.
You need to source a range of non allergenic range of both natural cosmetics and natural anti aging skin care products.
And we’re very lucky that there are a couple of small niche skin care and cosmetics companies that make natural skin care products and natural cosmetics that are not only perfect for sensitive skin they are also excellent skin care products and cosmetics, and at very competitive products.
That’s because they don’t even try and compete with the big brand name skin care and anti aging products. They don’t advertise on TV which contributes hugely to keeping the cost of their products down. They rely largely on the quality of their products to sell their products for them through word of mouth.
And you’ll find that those big brand name products are made down to a price rather than up to a standard.
So there’s a few things for you to do if you have sensitive skin and are looking for some good sensitive skin care tips. If these don’t work then try consulting an expert like a dermatologist, but for many people with skin problems just doing these things will clear up those nasty rashes and blotches and redness and itchiness.
