| How to Care for Sensitive Skin | |
There are a number of ways a sufferer of sensitive skin can reduce and care for their condition, these include:
- Whilst having sensitive skin may not directly be a disease, if there are any major reoccuring signs or symptons there may be an underlying skin condition that you are unaware. If this is the case it is advisable to seek medical advice from your doctor.
- If your skin is particularly effected by extreme weather conditions always use the highest strength sun block available during sunny periods. Also try to use a relatively thin moisturising lotion or cream during the summer periods and then switch to a thicker more oily oinment during the winter if you do not react badly to these products.
- Uses as little cosmetics and other extra skin care products as possible as these may cause constant irratation. If you must use cosmetics or skin care products you must ensure that they are all natural hypo-allergenic products, which irritate and inflame the skin less.
- Keep your skin hydrated by drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day as this will prevent the skin from drying out too much which actually stimulates the skin into producing more oil.
- Keep your skin as clean as possible using a good quality organic face cleanser twice a day as this will often help to unclog the pores and reduce the amount of dirt on the face. Couple this with a facial scrub three times a week and an oil and wax free moisturiser that will leave the skin matt, once a day and your sensitive skin problem will reduce itself significantly.
- Green tea has anti-inflammatory properties, which may aid and help to prevent sensitive skin reactions.
- Try to minimize contact with your face, this is due to the fact that people suffering from sensitive skin tend to pick up dirt and grime easily causing reactions. This has the effect however of adding additional chemicals to your skins natural balance and causing blotchy outbreaks. This is especially true with your face as this is the most sensitive area of your body.
- If you suffer from sensitive skin all over your body, Try to wear clothing made of organic cotton or cotton blend. This is due to the fact wool and synthetic fabrics have the downside of causing skin irritation.
- Get the right amount of sleep. They don't call it beauty sleep for nothing, having the correct amount of sleeping time is viatal to help your skin regenerate. This is also the time when the skin is allowed to breathe, if you have worn make up all day.
Finally don't forget that your skin is fragile and if you take good care of it, it will take good care of YOU!
