what is sensitive or sensitive skin?
Like dry skin, dehydrated skin lacks moisture. It feels dry and cracked. This is often because the skin barrier is damaged and moisture from the skin evaporates more easily.
Unlike dry skin, dehydrated skin is more of a skin condition than a skin type. This means that dehydrated skin is less genetic and depends on various internal and external factors: UV radiation and environmental toxins as well as your diet or incorrect skin care can lead to dehydrated skin.
WHAT CARE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN?
If you have sensitive skin, it is important that you support your body's own protective skin film and reduce skin irritation. Basically, this means that care products containing irritating alcohols are taboo. Likewise, all products that contain silicones, parabens or mineral oils as well as questionable preservatives.
In order to stabilize the body's own skin protective barrier, a mild facial cleanser is suitable that only removes dirt from your skin, but not the protective fats and oils. You also need a moisturizer that hydrates your skin well and provides it with important nutrients so that it stays intact and can strengthen itself from within.
TIPS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
Tip 1: Sensitive care
Your skin is sensitive to irritation, so you should avoid it. Care products often contain ingredients that do more harm than good to your skin. That's why it's all the more important that you avoid products that have questionable formulas and cause irritation.
Tip 2: Protective film
The more intact the protective acid mantle is on your skin, the more protected it is against external irritations. Therefore, make sure that your care program is low in surfactants and maintains the pH value. Care after facial cleansing should restore high-quality oils to your skin in order to support its body's own protective functions.
Tip 3: Moisturize
Skin dryness can often lead to sensitivity. Therefore, care is necessary to restore sufficient moisture to the skin. Urea and hyaluronic acid have proven to be compatible and effective active ingredients. Make sure that your moisturizer is tailored to the needs of sensitive, sensitive skin. This means: It contains no parabens, silicones or other harmful ingredients.
Tip 4: UV rays
UV rays not only cause skin dryness, but they penetrate so deeply into skin cells that they cause damage and irritation. For sensitive and sensitive skin, this is more than unpleasant and also has serious consequences. That's why you should pay attention to effective, skin-friendly sun protection and ideally avoid direct sunlight as much as possible.
