Dry skin
It’s no secret that dry sensitive skin is also very difficult to take care of. Dry sensitive skin feels tight because of the deficient lubrication and has a tendency to develop small expression lines that will evolve into wrinkles. Moreover, such a skin specificity makes one more exposed to allergic reactions, rashes, capillaries breaking and sudden flushes. Therefore, the care for dry sensitive skin could be a continuous problem. Moreover, dry sensitive skin is encountered regardless of gender, age or race.
The choice of cleansing, moisturizing and make up products has to follow rigorous steps when you have to care for dry sensitive skin. First of all, stop using all sorts of products for skincare; the more the chemicals the skin gets exposed to, the higher the chances to develop rashes. All the products have to be fragrance free and hypo-allergenic so that you don’t develop red irritation blotches. The blusher and the foundation could raise some problems for dry sensitive skin.
Try not to use too much make-up for a normal and unhindered skin breathing. Besides the hypo-allergenic feature, another recommendation is that you choose an oil-free item. The foundation or the blusher should be water-based because thus, they wouldn’t clog the pores. Furthermore, dry sensitive skin is not compatible with oil absorbing foundations because these tend to dry the skin by eliminating the supposed sebum excess.
It is not recommended to use exfoliants or astringent products on dry sensitive skin because they could irritate the thin epidermis. 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, the daytime moisturizer should have an incorporated SPF (sun-protection factor) higher than 15. Unfortunately, sunbathing will not be a favorite pastime for people who suffer from skin dryness.
Don’t expose dry sensitive skin to the sun for tanning purposes because you will only achieve a premature aging and even serious health problems. And last but not least, a warning must be signaled in relation to the changes of one cosmetic product for another. Once you have made up your mind to try a different skincare brand, it is important to test the product on a small skin portion to check whether you react allergically to it or not.
