How to care for sensitive skin

First you want to get rid of any products that you do not need. Exposing your skin to too many different chemicals can harm you. All you really need is a cleanser, a moisturizer with spf and depending on your age an eye cream.  Second make sure you avoid products containing ingredients that will cause sensitivity like fragrances, colors and preservatives although it really depends on you, you could be sensitive to anything. Third treat your skin with care. Make sure you cleanse gently to remove makeup at the end of the day. Use very light creamy cleansers or facial wipes that will minimize your contact with the chemicals. Moisturizing is very important because the drier your skin is the more it will be sensitive.

Calming facial for sensitive skin

1-Soak four camomile teabags in hot water once the water has cooled splash your face with this 20 times

2-While your skin is still damp stroke or tap skin in a downward motion . This helps drain away the fluids

3-Apply a hydrating face mask (i’ll give you an example) Relax for five to ten mins then wash off the mask with tepid water.

Tips for sensitive skin:

  • Use products with fewer than 10 ingredients lowering the risk of you coming across something your allergic to  
  • Wear sunscreen!!
  • Change your prodcuts. The skin tends to become sensitized to things it encounters too often.
  • Always read labels to see what is in your prodcuts
