Sensitive skin is common to all skin types. Sensitive skin can be congenital, but it can also develop over the years due to the use of cosmetics not suited to your skin type, your lifestyle (stress, smoking, diet), or harmful external influences (climate, pollution, excessive sun exposure). If you have sensitive skin or it is easily irritated, it can be painful and your skin may become irritated frequently, for example after contact with water or due to stress or changes in climate.
There are different types of sensitive skin, all of which react strongly to certain factors:
- Intolerant skin
- Skin that reddens easily
- Dry or dehydrated skin
Sensitive skin is not necessarily the same as allergic skin. It is skin that naturally reacts to certain external influences. This is related to the excitability of the skin's nerve endings. Depending on the skin type, sensitivity can manifest itself in different types of reactions: pricking, pulling, itching, a sensation of heat and/or burning, sometimes combined with redness.
The causes of these reactions can be different:
- The living environment: heat, cold, wind, sun, large temperature fluctuations, and air pollution can cause stinging, burning, redness, and warming.
- Contact: Application of a product with an ingredient that is poorly tolerated, contact with very hard water, or contact with certain fabrics can cause unpleasant reactions: itching, stinging, pulling, or redness.
- Delicate blood vessels: When the blood vessel walls are very fragile. This is due to the influence of certain external factors, such as temperature fluctuations, or internal factors, such as spicy food or alcohol. Swelling, redness, and a feeling of heat.
Careful
With sensitive skin, it's important to use products that irritate and excite as little as possible. Therefore, use products without synthetic fragrances, dyes, or preservatives. If your skin was used to synthetic products, it may take some getting used to a natural alternative. The skin has to adapt, and for a while, symptoms may seem to worsen, but this is temporary and positive in itself. This is because the skin needs to eliminate waste products and the metabolism needs to get back on track. So don't be discouraged if you don't see immediate results; it's part of the process. Give your skin 4 to 6 weeks to find a new balance.
- Gently cleanses: For sensitive skin, it's best to cleanse without water: a combination of milk and toner is great for this.
- Serum: All our serums are suitable for sensitive skin.
- Day cream: day creams for sensitive skin.
- Night cream: 24H carrot face cream , 24H avocado and aloe vera face cream or avocado cream .
- Washing with Dead Sea salt: Many people are deficient in magnesium, which, among other things, also affects the skin. By washing with Dead Sea salt , you provide your skin with minerals regularly and evenly, improving its condition and overall health.
General advice:
- Be careful with makeup: Makeup can also contain substances that irritate your skin, so read the labels carefully.
- Take care of your diet: Drinking enough water keeps your skin well hydrated and helps the organs that cleanse your body. Also, choose healthy, organic foods, if possible, such as vegetable oils and fats (from cold-pressed olive oil, avocado, and coconut oil, for example), proteins (from wild fish and organic meat, among others), vitamins (especially vitamins A, C, and E), and minerals (especially iron, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium).
- Avoid extreme weather conditions: Exposure to excessive sun and heat, strong winds, and very cold temperatures put extra stress on your skin, which can throw it out of balance. If you can't avoid this, make sure you have adequate protection.
