Sensitive skin care focuses on the condition through unique ways and special products. When it comes to sensitive skin care there are some facts you need to know. One big fact is that the sensitive skin care products you are using to solve your problem may actually be making it worse!
Many sensitive skin products contain ingredients that will cause your skin to become even more sensitive. With that in mind, here are 7 hot tips to cool skin.
1.Know Your Skin Type
What kind of skin do you have? Is it oily, dry, or normal? Is it a combination of all 3 or is your skin sensitive. Some sensitive skin care products treat each problem differently. Some sensitive skin products can actually treat all types of skin. Either way it's important to know your skin type.
2.Clean Your Skin Gently
Many experts including doctors agree no matter what skin types you have make sure you cleanse it gently or softly. This means using lukewarm water instead of hot water to keep the skin from getting too dried out. Instead of using wash cloth which is to rough for most skin types use your fingers.
3. If Your Skin Is Very Sensitive And Dry Don't Wash More Than Once Per Day.
Look for sensitive skin products that are soap free and non irritating. Use water-based moisturizers than are oil free. This will allow your skin to breathe. Oil based moisturizers can clog your pores creating more problems.
4. Begin A Regular cardiovascular exercise program.
No sensitive skin care program would be complete without a regular routine of cardiovascular exercise. This will produce more blood flow to your skin which helps to stimulate collagen production.
5. Avoid harsh chemicals.
It is important to stay away from harsh chemicals that are contained in many so called sensitive skin products. Avoid ingredients such as fragrances, dyes and preservatives. Common names are propylene glycol, mineral oil, sodium lauryl sulfate, cocoamide, titanium dioxide, and just any other ingredient you can't pronounce. It is important to any sensitive skin care program that you stay away from the ingredients mentioned above.
6.Stay Away From Chlorine
This tip may not be popular, but it plays an important part in sensitive skin care. Chlorine is everywhere, in the water you drink, in the pool you swim in, the shower or bath you take. This doesn't mean you can't swim. Just make sure you rinse off in cool water. Warm water opens the pours of your skin allowing dangerous chlorine to enter you body. Chlorine really dries out your skin and is known to cause cancer. Consider a whole house water filter to be safe.
7.Buy Sensitive Skin Products That Use Natural Plant Based Ingredients.
Although you may not be aware of them there are companies that make sensitive skin products using ingredients so safe you could eat them! These are the type of sensitive skin products that will work for all skin types.
Most of these companies are located in New Zealand and can be found with a little research. Look for ingredients such as Phytessence Wakame (a special extract from Japanese sea kelp), Nanobelle CoenzymeQ10, Homeo Age (a powerful anti-aging ingredient derived from a brown algae), natural vitamin E, and active manuka honey which comes from New Zealand. Other ingredients may include Macadamia nut and Avocado oils. All these ingredients are great for sensitive skin care.
In conclusion, sensitive skin care need not be a big chore or cost a lot of money. Many of the sensitive skin products coming from New Zealand using the ingredients listed in hot tip 7 costs less than the big brand names. Take action on the hot tips listed and you'll be on your way to cool looking skin that feels great.
