My skin is very sensitive and I always like redness, what should I do?

Key points of skin care for sensitive skin (Published on: 2005-2-12 0:43:01)

First, don’t cleanse too much.

Many girls with sensitive skin feel that their skin is oily or their noses have blackheads, so they use facial cleansers with strong cleansing power, which is actually counterproductive. These products often over-stimulate sebum secretion, causing the illusion of oily skin. On the other hand, they may cause long-term allergic reactions, such as red blood streaks or red spots, affecting the appearance of the skin.

It is recommended not to use whitening facial cleansers as they may cause more irritation to the skin.

Second, choose skin care products that are less irritating and focus on hydrating and balancing oil. It is best not to use whitening products (some whitening ingredients may cause sensitivity if they are acidic). Healthy skin is beautiful.

There are some skin care products for sensitive skin on the market. The reviews are different and you need to experience it yourself. What others think is good may not be suitable for you. Fortunately, there are not many brands. I personally recommend H2O. Its eight glasses of water are non-irritating and highly hydrating. Sisters regardless of sensitivity can choose it. The facial cleanser has sufficient cleaning power and does not harm the skin. Use it with makeup remover oil, so you don’t have to worry about insufficient cleansing even if you put on makeup. The facial mask is also good and highly recommended.

Please use caution when using any brand of exfoliating products. Even if you use it, reduce the frequency to once a month at most. It is not recommended to use peel-off facial masks or exfoliating products that are rubbed off after drying. Such violent actions can easily damage fragile and sensitive skin.

Third, use safe products and do not make homemade facial masks

There are many posts about homemade facial masks. It is recommended that women with sensitive skin not try them. Many untested natural ingredients are applied on them. It is likely to cause sensitivity on the face.

I personally never use homemade facial masks. If there is a better homemade facial mask that has been tested on sensitive skin, you are welcome to discuss it, :)

Fourth, don’t follow the trend of buying skin care products

If sensitive skin is not cared for properly, the skin condition will be worse. In this case, people would place great hope on finding special skin care products that can immediately improve their skin, but the results are often disappointing. Don’t buy skin care products based on trends. What’s suitable for normal skin types may not be suitable for sensitive skin. Don't blindly trust counter girls and beauty salons. If they can't tell you have sensitive skin based on your skin condition and careful conversation, then be sure to reject their recommendations.

Gentle face wash

"Moderate cleansing" is the focus of care for sensitive skin , because the dirt in the pores is also the culprit of allergies and inflammation. But be sure not to wash your hair too much. The sebum layer will be destroyed and the skin will be more susceptible to allergies.

Correct choice:

No soap-based ingredients: Choose a facial cleanser with a mild texture, preferably with natural ingredients.

No particles: The product cannot contain exfoliating ingredients, nor can you use facial cleansers that generate heat.

No need for makeup remover: Sensitive skin does not like greasy feeling, so it is best to use emulsion makeup remover.

Correct use:

Wet your face: first rub the facial cleanser into foam and then start washing.

Use a towel to dry it gently: Do not rub your face violently back and forth because it is itchy. When sensitivity attacks, it is best to change to a new towel.

Morning: Wash your face with water.

At night: Use "milky" makeup remover to remove makeup, then wash your face with facial cleanser.

Anti-allergic moisturizing

"Moisturizing" is another key point of care for sensitive skin. Anti-sensitive lotion has a higher water content and can soothe sensitive skin better than cream, helping the skin adjust its hydration level and increase its resistance.

Correct choice:

Special products for sensitive skin: Products marked with "gentle, mild, sensitive" are specially designed for sensitive skin and can be used with confidence.

Soothing ingredients: Natural extracted ingredients such as "herbal or marine" have a soothing effect.

Correct use:

Warm the palm of your hand: In winter or when the temperature is relatively low, the lotion will be thicker, so you need to warm it with your palm before use.

Use the "flicking" method: spread the lotion slightly and flick it on your face with your fingers. Do not apply it hard to reduce the pressure on sensitive skin.

Toning and conditioning

The function of lotion is to calm sensitive skin, adjust texture and texture, and balance the pH value of skin after washing the face.

Correct choice:

Should have calming and moisturizing effects: Chamomile, aloe vera, calendula or hot spring ingredients all have calming, soothing and anti-allergic effects.

Alcohol-free: Avoid alcohol and acids.

Correct use:

No cotton pads: Cotton pads can make sensitive skin uncomfortable. It is best to use non-woven cotton pads or apply directly with clean hands.

Two-hand pressing type: "Papping type" is not suitable for sensitive skin. It is best to use your hands coated with lotion and press gently from the inside out.

Protection and isolation

Failure to protect yourself from the sun can also cause physical sensitivity to ultraviolet rays, especially sensitive skin that has been inflamed and cannot see the sun. If skin care is the skin's underwear, then sunscreen is like the skin's outerwear. You must wear it whenever you go out?

Correct choice:

Hypoallergenic + refreshing texture: choose sensitive A skin-specific sunscreen that contains anti-allergic ingredients. The fresher the texture, the better.

Correct use:

Apply an extra layer to the protruding parts of the face: first apply a thin layer and press evenly, then apply another layer to the higher parts of the nose and cheekbones .

Apply again in the afternoon: If you often go out, apply again before going out in the afternoon. Use tissue paper to absorb oil and dirt before applying.

The soothing and refreshing facial mask that strengthens moisturizing and anti-allergy

The "sealed moisturizing effect" of the mask is definitely beyond the reach of other skin care products. It is best to use it twice a week to increase the moisture of the skin and also It can relieve red hot discomfort.

Tips for use during spring allergy season

When allergy symptoms are obvious, put the mask in the refrigerator to cool down before applying it, which can relieve inflammation and reduce discomfort.

Anti-allergic first-aid spray for special occasions

If your face becomes "dry and itchy" in an air-conditioned office, it is recommended to put a bottle of "anti-allergic spray" in the drawer because your skin will feel uncomfortable. Feel free to calm down and relax at any time.

Tips for using sprays:

1. Don’t rely too much: Sprays can only provide temporary relief. Don’t spray frequently just because you feel comfortable.

2. Blot off excess water droplets: Water droplets left on the face will take away the moisture from the surface of the skin. After spraying the spray, dry it with a tissue immediately.
