Dry sensitive skin
Dry skin is very often sensitive, which only makes it more difficult to care for. Because of the deficient lubrication and the tight sensation of the skin, this dryness could easily cause the formation of wrinkles from the simple expression lines. Moreover, the specificity of such skin types makes one more exposed to allergic reactions, rashes, capillaries breaking and sudden flushes. Therefore, the care for dry sensitive skin could prove quite a challenge at times. Moreover, dry sensitive skin is encountered regardless of gender, age or race.
The choice of make up, cleansing and moisturizing products ought to include some preventive measures when you suffer from dry sensitive skin. First of all, you need to minimize the amount of products you put on the face; the more the chemicals one comes into contact with, the higher the risk of irritations. All the products have to be fragrance free and hypo-allergenic so that you don’t develop red irritation blotches. The foundation and the blusher could pose some problems for dry sensitive skin.
Avoid using too much make-up in order to allow the skin to breathe adequately. Besides the hypo-allergenic feature, another recommendation is that you choose an oil-free item. Water-based foundation and blusher make excellent choices because the risk of pore clogging is lower. Oil absorbing foundations are not recommended to dry sensitive skin, because they will make your epidermis even drier.
The skin dermis specific to dry sensitive skin should not be exfoliated or treated with astringent products. The same thing must be said in relation to cleaning: over-washing the face means eliminating the natural oils that lubricate the tissues, which will result in an accelerated dryness. Furthermore, make sure that the daytime moisturizer has an incorporated SPF (sun-protection factor) higher than 15. Unfortunately, sunbathing will not be a favorite pastime for people who suffer from skin dryness.
Premature aging and skin problems are the main consequences of sunbathing. And finally, a warning must be signaled in relation to the changes of one cosmetic product for another. When you decide to try a different skincare brand, it is important to test the product on a small skin portion to check whether it triggers any allergic reaction or other negative manifestations.
