Along with the "difficulty" level, sensitive skin is also one of the difficult skin that is not inferior to oily skin. But there's a way, don't worry! As long as she pays attention to them a little, loves them a little, she will no longer have to worry about frequent irritation. Let's find out with V-Care how to properly care for sensitive skin by dermatologists!
WHY DOES YOUR SKIN BECOME SENSITIVE?
Influence from the environment
The weather changes, especially in the cold season, your skin will be most irritated. When there is a difference or sudden change in temperature, your skin will become imbalanced, dehydrated and more sensitive.
Dirt and pollution
Dirt: Born from production activities, vehicles, construction materials, etc., dirt adheres directly to the skin and clogs the pores.
Toxins: Toxins are industrial wastes of manufacturing plants, exhaust gases from vehicles… are infiltrating into the skin, increasing skin pigmentation, breaking the surface of the skin structure.
Water source: Domestic water systems in big cities are mainly supplied by chemical water treatment activities. These chemicals act directly to cause skin toxicity.
Clean skin the wrong way
Cleansing the skin is good, but over-cleansing the skin in the wrong way will also lead to the opposite reaction. Follow the correct and sufficient basic skin cleansing process for your skin.
Unscientific living habits
Staying up late, using stimulants, sitting in the air conditioner, being in contact with pool water for too long… are invisible habits that cause damage to the skin.
Diet
Not drinking enough water, improper nutritional menu will also lead to sensitive skin.
Hormonal imbalance
During red light days, pregnancy or during puberty can all make your skin more sensitive. Hormonal changes, hormone imbalance is the main cause.
Stress
Stress and fatigue will affect hormones and make your skin more sensitive and aging faster. If this condition persists, your skin will get worse and worse.
Ingredients in skin care products
Some common ingredients such as fragrances, artificial colors, and harsh chemicals can all cause skin irritation. In addition, retinol and glycolic acid are also two quite sensitive ingredients in anti-aging products.
6 STEPS TO CARE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN THE RIGHT WAY
Step 1: Make a “black list” of ingredients that cause your skin to be irritated
To be able to know what ingredients your skin is allergic to, even natural skin care products are no exception, you have to try using it.
But testing the product also needs to be safe for the skin. Practice checking the ingredients listed on the product. Just look at the TOP 5 ingredients first, as the latter are usually at very low concentrations and do not cause significant irritation to the skin.
Then, test the product on a small area of skin under or on the back of your ear and see how it reacts for at least 48 hours. If the skin becomes red or has a strange reaction, you should stay away from the first 5 ingredients.
TIP: Cosmetic products will also often come in sample or minisize forms. Try with small products to save your wallet.
Step 2: Always remove makeup every day is a way to care for sensitive skin da
Makeup removal is one of the most important steps in sensitive skin care. It's not just makeup that needs to be removed. In fact, cleansers or toners still cannot completely clean our skin. Therefore, removing makeup is always an extremely necessary step to be able to "fly" all dirt from the skin.
It is not difficult for sensitive skin girls to choose makeup remover products. Most cosmetic brands have a separate line for sensitive skin. Focus on these products, instead of choosing one eye-catching product.
TIP: If you are not familiar with cosmetics, then water-based makeup removers will be the safest choice for sensitive skin.
Step 3: Wash your face properly
Especially when taking care of sensitive skin, washing your face twice a day is enough... more than enough for clear and clean skin. Do not think that cleaning your face more than 2 times will help clean skin, even backfire, causing the skin to thin and become more sensitive. And only choose face wash products that do not contain alcohol, parabens, fragrances, colorants and fragrances.
TIP: Sensitive skin should also prepare 2 types of face wash:
In the morning use the mildest type, so as not to lose the moisture film on the skin.
At night, you can use a deep cleaner to remove all day dirt.
Step 4: Hydrate and hydrate sensitive skin
Whether you have sensitive skin or not, never skip the step of moisturizing your skin. Because only when fully hydrated, the skin's natural moisture film is healthy, helping the skin to be protected naturally, reducing the sensitivity of the skin.
Still sharing the same rule of choosing sensitive skin care products, the most ideal moisturizing products for sensitive skin are:
Contains no fragrance.
Contains no preservatives or synthetics.
There are ingredients from natural or certified safe, benign to the skin.
Step 5: Not sunscreen is a mistake
It is undeniable that sensitive skin often has many difficulties when using sunscreen. Because sunscreens often have some chemical ingredients that block UV rays very well, but they are easy to irritate sensitive skin. Just using the wrong product, you will easily encounter problems such as acne, dermatitis, or irritation.
The best way is to choose a sunscreen specifically for sensitive skin. Most cosmetic brands have developed their own line of sunscreens for difficult skin.
TIP: Test the product first with your skin's reaction or limit direct exposure to the sun after about 9am to 4pm, because this is the "most toxic" time of the sun.
Step 6: Clean up the bedroom area
In addition to taking care of the skin, the resting environment is also important.
What does the basic skin care kit include and when should it be invested?
In addition to working and studying time, we often spend 6-8 hours a day sleeping and living in the bedroom. If the room is cluttered, it will create conditions for bacteria and harmful pathogens to grow. This is the main reason why the skin is always pale, lack of vitality and skin care steps do not achieve maximum effectiveness. If you are a busy person, there is not too much time to clean the bedroom.
Besides taking care of our skin from the outside, don't forget to take care of our body as well. Just drink a lot of water, eat a lot of vegetables, foods to beautify the skin and exercise regularly. A healthy body will also help the skin become stronger.
