Sensitive skin care regimen made easy

You definitely know if you need a sensitive skin care routine or not. Many products cause you to break out in rashes easily. Your skin type is usually difficult to work with because it can also be prone to acne and dry patches. Whatever you do, use the gentlest products possible by avoiding fragrance and dyes.

Skin care products to have on hand

    ◈Cleanser – Look for mild cleansers that are specifically formulated for your skin type or have the description “gentle”. This cleanser should be hypoallergenic, allergy-tested and fragrance-free.

    ◈Moisturizer – Go for the fragrance-free, color-free, and allergy-tested products. Even if the moisturizer is labeled “sensitive”, be sure to look for these guarantees. Products containing aloe vera or vitamin E are great to use also. These ingredients work well at calming the skin whenever irritated.

    ◈Exfoliant – There’s no need to exfoliate. Your skin is sensitive, and you don’t want to risk irritating it in any way.
    *Exfoliant refers to a facial scrub that removes the dead layers of your skin to leave it feeling smooth, invigorated and healthy.

    ◈Toner/Astringent – There’s no need to use a toner. Your skin may have an unnecessary reaction to the product.
    *Toner refers to a lotion designed to cleanse the skin and shrink pores, usually used on the face.

    ◈Treatment – If you have blackheads, you may want to consider using a clay mask specifically formulated for your skin type once a week.
