10 Things to remember if you have sensitive skin

When we say sensitive skin what does it exactly means? Sensitive skin is a condition wherein the skin is hyperactive or reactive to environmental, topical and internal factors, to which other skin types are usually well tolerant. The question now arises how does one identifies whether his/her skin is sensitive or not. If one notices facial discomfort with stinging, burning, itching caused due to all kind of factors including; environmental factors (wind, sun, cold weather, fast changes in temperature), topical factors (hard water, skincare products and cosmetics) and internal factors (stress and spicy food) then it is clear that he/she has a sensitive skin. Here are a few points to ponder for those with this type of skin condition:

1) Choose skincare products that are fragrance free and contain low sensitivity or no preservatives. Read the labels carefully to check that none of the products have alcohol, harsh exfoliants or irritating surface active agents in them.

2) Perform a patch test before using a new skincare product. The test should be done 24 to 48 hours before usage. If you feel redness, burning, itchiness it means your skin is sensitive to that particular product and it shouldn’t be used.

3) Follow a proper skincare regimen everyday to keep skin woes at bay. Sensitive skin is vulnerable to environmental factors so cleansing it without fail becomes even more necessary. Keep the pores and skin free from dirt and sweat by cleansing it with a gentle cleanser twice a day.

4) Keep it hydrated from inside out. Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily irrespective of season. And for outside hydration dab a conditioning moisturiser twice a day to protect your skin from environmental stressors like wind, sun, cold weather and pollution.

5) Exfoliating the skin once a week is essential to remove the dead skin cells. Use peel off masks instead of harsh scrubs as peels exfoliate the skin without causing irritation.

6) Sun-protection is an important part of daily skincare regimen. Sun protection is complete with use of umbrella, scarf and sunscreens like zinc oxide if planning to stay in sun for longer hours. A person with sensitive skin shouldn’t step out in sun without applying a sunscreen. A sunscreen with SPF 15-20 on daily basis will be fine but if you are going to a beach then opt for one with SPF 50. Change your sunscreen texture as per the weather, in summers use spray ones while in winters cream based sunscreen should be used. Sensitivity of the skin can be a problem for sunscreens containing cinnamates so avoid these.

7) Cosmetics should be picked up wisely. The topical application of makeup products that don’t suit your skin can give allergy and breakouts. But this doesn’t means you can’t wear makeup you need to be careful while choosing them. Avoid waterproof mascaras or liquid liners as they require harsh cleansers to be removed. Hypoallergic makeup is the one that doesn’t have fragrance so try and use such products. And remember to change your makeup products with change of season, use water based products in summers and oil based products in winters.

8) Eat a balanced diet that is rich in nutrients and doesn’t includes spicy food. Spicy food is rich in capsaicin which increases problems for sensitive skin. Vasodilators like caffeine and tannins also contribute to sensitivity. Either avoid them or add milk to neutralize their effect, so if you’re having your Latte there is no need to worry.

9) Avoid factors like hot baths, saunas, hammans, alcohol and sudden changes in temperature that aggravate the itchiness or allergic reactions.

10) One should avoid sitting for prolonged hours in air-conditioned or heated atmosphere. Sensitive skin is the worst sufferer in such condition; it turns tight and can also become itchy. In air controlled atmosphere like long flights keep moisturising your skin and use thermal water sprays to sooth the skin.

  65. I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to Dimepiece LA celebrity streetwear brand? I seem to be unable to proceed to the checkout on Dimepiecela site. I’ve read in Cosmopolitan that they were acquired by a UK hedge fund in excess of $50m. I have just bought the Dimepiece Babygirl Unisex Heavy Blend™ Crewneck Sweatshirt from Amazon and totally love it xox

  66. I run a vape store directory site and we have had a listing from a vape store in the United States that also offers CBD goods. A Month later, PayPal has contacted use to say that our account has been restricted and have asked us to take away PayPal as a payment method from our vape shop directory. We do not retail CBD product lines like CBD oil. We simply offer advertising and marketing services to CBD companies. I have had a look at Holland & Barrett– the UK’s Well known Health and wellness Retail store and if you take a good look, you will see that they supply a rather comprehensive stable of CBD goods, primarily CBD oil and they also happen to take PayPal as a settlement solution. It appears that PayPal is employing contradictory standards to different firms. As a result of this limitation, I can no longer take PayPal on my CBD-related website. This has restrained my payment options and currently, I am greatly reliant on Cryptocurrency payments and straightforward bank transfers. I have consulted with a barrister from a Magic Circle law office in The city of london and they explained that what PayPal is undertaking is totally against the law and inequitable as it should be applying a consistent criterion to all firms. I am yet to talk with yet another lawyer from a US law firm in The city of london to see what PayPal’s legal position is in the USA. Meanwhile, I would be highly appreciative if anybody here at targetdomain could offer me with alternative payment processors/merchants that work with CBD companies.
