Effective Skin Care Tricks To Cope With Sensitive Skin

 

If you are trying to cope with sensitive skin, you may only have to make some simple changes to your skincare routine and the sensitive skin product you use to notice an improvement.

It seems that no one is immune to experiencing skin sensitivities at some point, in fact, sensitive skin is on the rise. This is because we are increasingly being exposed to harsh weather conditions, increases in pollution and stress and scarily we are exposing our skin and bodies to more and more synthetic ingredients daily. 

How To Cope With Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is usually associated with conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. You may be surprised to hear that if you have ever experienced dryness, tightness, flaking, redness or itching, chances are that you have experienced sensitive skin. The good news is sensitive skin doesn't have to be a burden. With a few smart changes to your skincare routine you can experience relief from irritations and enjoy healthy skin again.

Follow these steps to reduce dryness, itchiness and inflammation:

1. Simplify Your Skin Care Routine

Bombarding sensitive skin with a multitude of different sensitive skin products will not help it calm down. In fact, it's likely to lead to increased/prolonged flare-ups. Following a Cleanse, Treat, and Hydrate skincare routine with products specially formulated for sensitive skin will help bring your skin back into balance. Use the same products for at least a few weeks before you switch so your skin can adjust and the benefits can start to show. Consistency and simplicity are key!

2. Know Your Skin

If you have sensitive skin, try to figure out what causes it to flare up. For example, a particular skincare ingredient, a type of food or even a certain animal may make things worse. Once you know the cause, you can make an effort to avoid these as part of your sensitive skincare routine. 

3. Know your sensitive skin product ingredients

Sensitive skin needs extra gentle attention that will nourish and moisturise the skin to soothe irritations, so it's essential that your products contain ingredients that assist with this. When choosing face care, products try to avoid any harsh cleansers that will strip away essential oils or synthetic moisturisers that may miss the mark when it comes to soothing and hydrating the skin.

4. Choose a quality moisturiser

Moisturising plays a huge role in revitalising sensitive skin. It assists in restoring essential nutrients and also assures that your skin is well protected from free radical damage that can further irritate it. 

However, not all moisturisers are created equal. When it comes to choosing a natural moisturiser for sensitive skin you can't go past Botáni's Olive Skin Serum. Containing plant active Olive Squalene, the serum has a natural affinity with the Squalene found in your skin. As a sensitive skincare ingredient, it is immediately absorbed, to deliver vital nutrients to the skin and provide protection against further damage. This unique, non-greasy serum is the best solution for sensitive skin and is an essential skin care product for any sensitive skincare routine.

5. Protect your skin when you’re out and about

Sensitive skin will flare up when the weather is hot, cold or windy. A sensitive skin repair cream can create a barrier to give you an extra layer of protection. This all-natural product is designed to protect your skin from moisture loss and environmental stressors.

6. Don’t forget about the rest of your body

It’s not only your face that needs protection from being sensitive and easily irritated. Use a quality sensitive skin body wash to reduce irritation. Botani’s PhytoBody Wash is a luxurious and gentle gel-based body wash formulated for all skin conditions. It gently purifies and restores moisture without stripping your skin of its vital oils. This multi-purpose body wash is an ideal shower gel and a hand wash. We also recommend it as a shaving gel, because we know legs can be sensitive too.
