Good habits for sensitive skin
Does your skin react to everything? From the weather, dust, the products you use, face masks, and even stress, it seems to be affected.
Sensitive skin can be a constant torment, literally, but what can I do about it?
The answer depends on the root cause, and here we suggest some lifestyle changes that can help you mitigate it and enjoy your life with healthier skin.
Proper use of face masks
Correct use of face masks is essential to protect yourself and everyone around you.
However, it has become a common cause of skin irritation or pimples on the cheeks and mouth.
If you have sensitive skin, it is very important to adapt your facial care routine to mitigate these effects. We remind you that everything starts with good hygiene of your skin and the masks you use.
Start your routine with a pH-neutral dermo-cleanser or with Hydrating Micellar Water , and then apply your creams and serums , preferably with a light consistency so as not to clog the pores and allow the skin to breathe. Once you have applied them, it is essential that you allow time for them to be fully absorbed before putting on the mask.
For women, try to reduce the amount of makeup you use and if you can leave the eye area free of makeup, even better. Focus your makeup on the eye area to highlight them and look perfect at all times.
For men, space out your shave by a few days if possible to avoid constantly irritating the area, and use a light After Shave or Hydrating Thermal Water to soothe irritation. Just be careful to allow it to absorb well before you have to go out.
Allergies
From the type of soap you're using to the foods you eat, allergies to certain products or ingredients can cause your skin to spiral out of control.
Initially, it can be difficult to identify the main allergen that is creating this reaction. If you are still in the process of discovering it, we advise you to keep a log of the ingredients in your personal care products, the foods you eat and external factors that may be affecting you. You can eliminate or add them to your daily routine one by one and write down the effects you observe. It may be tedious, but in a few weeks you will have identified some and it will be easier to detox your products and pantry.
Over time, you and your skin will thank you!
Environmental factors
Extreme weather, such as too much sun, wind, snow or rain, can be problematic for your skin type. These weather factors cause damage to the skin, leaving it more prone to spots, heat or cold burns, and dryness or dehydration.
To contain the effect of environmental factors, make sure to follow a deep cleansing, protection and moisturizing routine. This should include the use of a gentle, pH-neutral cleanser, as well as ultra-hydrating moisturizers and active ingredients that will nourish your skin at the same time.
Daily use of an anti-aging sunscreen with UVA/UBV coverage is essential, even if you're just in your car, since the sun's harmful rays are reflected and amplified by the car's glass.
During the cold or hot seasons, adapt your facial care routine and include an extra session at midday with a light moisturizer . If you are a man, you can cleanse your skin and reapply moisturizer and sunscreen. And if you are a woman and wear makeup, give yourself a hydration boost with hydrating thermal water. And try to drink plenty of fluids to keep your skin well hydrated.
Dry skin
Extreme dryness of the skin is often mistaken for sensitive skin. It can become brittle, flaky, irritated and more prone to developing spots and blackheads, and then fine lines and wrinkles.
There is no quick cure for dry, dehydrated skin. To help it, you will need to commit to a daily, disciplined routine of cleansing, nourishing and deep moisturizing. Completely avoid harsh products, such as those containing alcohol or sulfates, which can further dry out the skin. Instead, use gentle formulas with ultra-hydrating, nourishing and restructuring active ingredients that allow your skin to breathe, nourish and hydrate itself deeply while restoring its natural levels of hydration and moisture.
Be very careful with “miracle” skin care products. No healthy skin product will give you immediate results, since the cells of your dermis and epidermis have a natural restoration and renewal process that we must respect.
Be careful what you put on your skin.
In addition to the habits mentioned above to avoid the main causes that affect sensitive skin, there are other basic rules that you should follow if you have this type of skin.
- Always remove all makeup and dirt from your face before going to bed to avoid clogged pores and buildup. It is during the night that your skin regenerates and you need your pores free to do so.
- Eat healthy to detoxify your body and especially your skin.
- Here we go again with this habit that we tend to easily forget… Drink at least 2 liters of water a day to stay hydrated and promote a healthy water balance.
- Avoid contaminating your skin with bacteria and fungi by having a face towel for each person at home.
- The best facial care products are those that are used with discipline and consistency… A2B Skin Care, of course!
- Always read the labels of the products you use to make sure they are suitable for your skin type. Avoid parabens, alcohol and petroleum-based products.
