Sensitive Skin Advice

If you have sensitive skin, you know how challenging it can be to find products that don't irritate or dry out your skin. Even everyday activities like showering, exfoliating, and applying skincare products can cause redness, itchiness, or discomfort.

10 Tips for Taking Care of Sensitive Skin​

If you have sensitive skin, here are some tips to help you take better care of it:

  • Use gentle cleansers: Look for fragrance-free and hypoallergenic cleansers that are designed specifically for sensitive skin.
  • Avoid harsh exfoliants: Exfoliate your skin gently with a soft cloth or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs).
  • Moisturize regularly: Apply a fragrance-free moisturizer after bathing and throughout the day to lock in moisture.
  • Protect your skin from the sun: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days.
  • Avoid irritants: Steer clear of products containing harsh chemicals like sulfates, artificial fragrances, or dyes.
  • Shower wisely: Keep your showers short and lukewarm to prevent stripping your skin of its natural oils.
  • Use a humidifier: Dry air can exacerbate sensitive skin; using a humidifier can help maintain the moisture levels in your skin.
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
  • Eat an anti-inflammatory diet: Focus on consuming foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins C and E, and antioxidants to support healthy skin.
  • Consult a dermatologist: If your sensitive skin persists or worsens, consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment.

By following these tips, you can help soothe, calm, and protect your sensitive skin.
