You might not know this, but all skin can feel sensitive sometimes. Things in our surroundings, like pollution, the weather, what we eat, and some beauty products that contain allergens, can make our skin sensitive and make it feel tight, itchy, or swollen. Good news! As for dealing with sensitive skin, there are many easier ways to do it than trying to change the weather. Try these simple, sensitive skin care tips to soothe and protect your skin and help stop those annoying reactions.
1. Get back to basics
Most tips for caring for sensitive skin can be summed up in one phrase: keep things simple. First, don’t use strong chemical cleansers that can worsen your skin. Instead, look for products that calm and soothe. If you use too much skincare, it can hurt your skin. You don’t want your skin to feel squeaky clean. Instead, you want it to feel soothed and renewed. Products like our Simple® Water Boost Micellar Cleansing Water, which easily removes daily dead skin cells, impurities, and extra oil without drying out the skin, can help you simplify your skincare routine.
2. Remove your make-up before you sleep
Yes, sometimes we don’t feel like doing it before bed. But taking off your makeup before sleeping can quickly become a good habit. Your face can worsen if you leave your makeup on while you sleep, even if your skin is sensitive. A gentle foamy wash can help keep exposed skin on your face feeling fresh and clear at the end of the day. Are you afraid that the foam will make your skin feel tight? A wash without soap, like Simple Kind to Skin Moisturizing Facial Wash, will help keep your skin from getting dry.
3. Handle sensitive skin with care
When we clear, we can be rough. You might not know it, but rubbing, pulling, and drying your skin after cleansing can make it more sensitive. Take a little longer to take off your makeup. Hold an eye make-up-removing cotton pad over your eye for a little longer. This will give it more time to break down any stubborn makeup, and you can wipe it off quickly!
4. Safeguard sensitive skin against the sun
UVA and UVB rays can hurt skin even when the sun isn’t out. Also, cloudy days are bad for your skin. Protecting your skin all year with sunscreen is one of the most important skin care tips for sensitive skin or any skin. For extra protection, use a moisturizer with SPF every day.
5. Cool down your skin
Stick to cold water when washing your face because too much heat can make exposed skin uncomfortable. If your skin feels hot and needs to cool down, put a wet face cloth in the fridge and use it as a massage on it.
6. Protect a sensitive face against pollution
Air pollution can stick to your skin at different times of the day and hurt its protection. Over time, these tiny things can accumulate on your skin and make it feel itchy. What do we suggest? Cleanse often, at the start and end of each day, to eliminate dirt and other bad things. Are you going places? Keep a pack of wipes in your bag to clean up quickly.
7. Hydration is key to dealing with sensitive skin
To keep your skin calm and clear, ensure it stays hydrated. Twice a day moisturizer and lots of water will help keep your sensitive skin in balance. Your desk should have a pretty bottle to remember you to keep sipping.
These top seven tips will help you keep your sensitive skin signs under wraps, even though all skin can sometimes feel exposed .
