Sensitive skin, what is it? Having sensitive skin is when it is very reactive. It reddens easily and is prone to breakouts. Some sensitive skin types are dry and dehydrated very quickly. The reasons for this hypersensitivity are multiple and are often linked to the composition of the products used (presence of perfume, etc.) and the environment (pollution, hard water, etc.). A suitable daily routine The goal when caring for sensitive skin is to soothe it and not make it more reactive by using overly aggressive skincare products. Choose hypoallergenic skincare products to minimize the risk of allergies. To begin, you should gently cleanse your skin. Choose cleansing products without sulfates, parabens, or fragrances. Sulfate-free cleansing gels are ideal for these skin types. If your skin is very dry, cleansing oil is more suitable. It will cleanse your skin while nourishing it thanks to its sweet almond oil-based formula. After washing, you can tone your skin while giving it the softness it needs. Chamomile floral water is recommended. It calms sensitive skin thanks to its soothing properties. Sensitive skin needs hydration and nutrition. Use only gentle, hypoallergenic, and, above all, fragrance-free skincare products. You can use vegetable oils, which are very effective. Argan oil or avocado oil are ideal. To remove your makeup, you can use regular makeup removers, as long as they are suitable for sensitive skin. Otherwise, cleansing oil is recommended because it is gentler and more nourishing. An essential step before bed is to moisturize and nourish your skin. As with daytime skincare, argan oil or avocado oil are ideal. They will soothe, nourish, and beautify your skin. Treatments to be done once a week If you have sensitive skin, you should be careful about the scrubs and masks you use. When it comes to scrubs, choose ones with very fine grains. There are even enzymatic scrubs that don't contain grains. For masks, choose ones that will moisturize and soothe your skin. White clay and red clay are ideal for sensitive and reactive skin. Simply add floral water and vegetable oil. What to remember Choose hypoallergenic skincare products. Make sure they're fragrance-free. If you can avoid rinsing your face with tap water, do so. Replace it with spring water, which will be much softer and contain much less limescale. You can use scrubs and masks, but remember that they should be tailored to your skin type. Gentleness is key.
