Whether you are born with sensitive skin, or find your skin reacting to certain ingredients or environmental factors, sensitivity is a growing dermatological concern. Due to this, special care needs to be taken for such skin type.
This summer why not introduce an ultra-gentle sensitive range of skincare to your beauty routine?
Experts have identified 7 signs of skin sensitivity in the lines of dryness, dullness, roughness, tightness, redness, irritation, and dehydration. Look for mild, gentle, hypoallergenic, sulphate-free and fragrance-free products.
Avoid product overload, and try keeping it simple. Follow a fail-proof “cleanse, protect and prevent” ethos with a foaming micellar cleanser, day cream with SPF & hydrating night serum.
The range consists of the following three products that help soothe and intensely hydrate skin that is prone to sensitivity :
- Look for cleansers with soothing elements like aloe vera, cucumber & rose extracts, gentle and hydrating enough to give soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits to the skin. Also, check if the product is dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic that helps restore pH balance and is free from fragrance, paraben and sulphates.
- Protect your skin with a light textured day cream with a minimum SPF 25 that gives intense hydration & moisturization to sensitive skin along with UVA & UVB protection. An added bonanza will be something helps remove tan, lightens skin and gives a soothing sensation. The star ingredients to look for are Geranium Robertianum extract, Polyglutamic Acid & allantoin to keep you covered all year round!
- Save your best arsenal for the night time routine. It is that time of routine where you use the most potent products for maximum effects. Use a hypoallergenic night serum that delivers long lasting hydration to the skin making it brighter & moist, with other ingredients like rose extracts, hyaluronic acid, glycerin. (IANS)
