Sensitive skin: how to recognize it?
Recognizing sensitive skin is the first step to adopting proper skincare and preventing annoying irritation. Sensitive skin is characterized by greater reactivity to external stimuli, such as the sun, wind, chemicals and even cosmetics. Here are some symptoms that can be traced back to sensitive skin:
▪️ Redness : Sensitive skin tends to turn red more easily than other skin types.
▪️ Irritation and Itching : People with sensitive skin may experience irritation and itching.
▪️ Dryness : Having a compromised skin barrier, sensitive skin can suffer from dryness and flaking.
▪️ Presence of dermatitis : It is not uncommon for people with sensitive skin to suffer from psychosomatic dermatitis .
▪️ Burning Sensation : Some people with sensitive skin may experience a burning or stinging sensation on their skin.
▪️ Vulnerability to Climate Change : Sensitive skin is often more vulnerable to climate change.
▪️ Vasodilation : Veins on the skin of the face may appear more evident in people with sensitive skin, creating a red or "rosace-like" appearance.
Sensitive Skin Care Tips
Once you have recognized sensitive skin , you need to take care of it in the best way possible. Here are some tips to keep in mind when choosing your skincare .
Choose the right products
The first step in caring for sensitive skin is choosing the right products. In fact, these should be:
▪️ Delicate , meaning formulated with ingredients that do not irritate the skin.
▪️ Hypoallergenic : formulated to reduce the
risk of allergies.
▪️ Without synthetic fragrances : they are highly irritating.
Use gentle cleansers
Cleansing is very important in any skincare routine, but when cleansing sensitive skin , it is important to use gentle products so as not to further weaken the skin barrier and redden the skin.
Hydrates the skin
Sensitive skin needs to be very hydrated precisely because the skin barrier is weaker and therefore retains less skin moisture. In addition, keeping the skin well hydrated is essential to prevent the appearance of itching and worsening of the inflamed area.
Protect your skin from UV rays
UV rays can be more damaging to sensitive skin and cause redness, itching and premature aging.
Choose the right exfoliation
Exfoliation is important to remove dead skin cells, but it is important not to damage the living ones. This is why it is important to always choose cosmetics that include enzymatic exfoliation and not mechanical exfoliation in skincare for sensitive skin .
Avoid stress
Stress and skin are closely linked; therefore, finding ways to reduce stress can also help improve the appearance of sensitive skin. The use of neurocosmetics, for example, can also help improve the psychological aspect in addition to taking care of your skin, which today is also called Psycare .
Complete sensitive skin skincare in 6 steps
