How to Take Care of My Sensitive Skin

Comment prendre soin de ma peau sensible ?

Here are our 5 beauty tips: your sensitive skin must be soothed every morning and evening, with care products specifically designed for this purpose. A good care for intolerant skin must meet several characteristics:

1 . No allergens or irritants.
2 . A limited number of ingredients.
3 . Moisturizing and soothing active ingredients for optimal skin tolerance.

 

1. Cleanse and remove makeup

Two-fold cleansing action to eliminate pollution particles

Removing makeup and cleansing the skin every night is vital. The skin needs to breathe, which is why it is important to eliminate pore-clogging makeup and pollution residue that leave it sensitive. Use gentle cleansers  and avoid soap, which tends to cause dryness.

Opt for gentle cleansing gels, micellar water, lotions and even cleansing milk.

If you have particularly intolerant skin, opt for no-rinse cleansers and soothing sprays to rinse the face. Tap water is often hard and therefore too harsh on the skin.

For optimal cleansing results, use at least two cleansers one after the other.

2. Moisturize and soothe

Moisture-replenishment is essential for repairing the skin barrier. It is important to use high tolerance moisturizing and soothing skincare products on a daily basis, in harmony with your skin’s level of dryness.

Intense moisturizing products such as masks should also be used once or twice a week. Avoid exfoliating scrubs and products with high concentrations of potentially irritant agents, such as AHA and retinol.

3. Protect

Protect your skin daily using sun protection with mineral filters, which are better tolerated by sensitive skin. In addition to shielding the skin against the harmful effects of UV light, mineral filters form a protective barrier against pollution particles.

For optimal protection against pollution, use specific anti-pollution skincare formulas.

5. Lifestyle

Your lifestyle has an impact on your skin’s level of sensitivity.

Limit consumption of alcohol, coffee, spices and other stimulants as studies have shown that these factors can exacerbate sensitive skin. It is also important to protect skin from temperature variations, heat, cold, sunlight and wind as much as possible.

Mode de vie

 

In short:

A suitable daily skincare routine can significantly reduce signs of sensitivity. So, start changing your habits today!
