Have you got sensitive skin and find that it’s getting on top of you? If so there are some simple sensitive skin tips that I can pass on to you.

Because some people don’t have sensitive skin and some people do have sensitive skin. And if it’s you that has sensitive skin you might need to.

There’s a range of annoying symptoms that come with sensitive skin like redness and blotchiness on your skin, itchiness, dryness and lots more.

And that’s not to say sensitive skin conditions can be controlled simply for everyone, you may have a specific condition that you should consult a dermatologist for. But why not try some simple stuff first and see how it works for you.

The first thing sufferers of sensitive skin need to do is to have a look at your current cosmetics and skin care products. Because there are a whole lot of skin care products and anti aging products and cosmetics that can actually cause the problem of sensitive skin. All those face masks and blushes and creams and so on can actually be the problem.

You’ll know if you’ve read my site that Ive warned often about the dangerous ingredients often found in big brand name skin care products like moisturizers, face creams and other skin care treatments and anti wrinkle creams.

Ingredients like parabens, which are used extensively in big brand skin care products as a preservative, can be dangerous. For example the cosmetics database lists 2 parabens (parabens refers to a group of chemicals, not one) as, on a scale of 1 – 10 of hazard, as being at least a 7 or an 8. Ie, in their words, high hazard.

And a chemical like a paraben can itself cause skin reactions. So, ironically, the very products that you are using may well be causing your skin problems. Maybe or maybe not, but it’s worth finding out.

And so if you change your products, cosmetics, skin care products or even soaps and shampoos and more then this alone may well fix your sensitive skin problems.

The writer of this article has direct experience of this. My 8 year old daughter had to use cosmetics for her first ballet performance recently. Not something that an 8 year old would normally use, but she did that day.

Within a few hours her entire face had broken out in a rash, and we decided right there not to use those cosmetics again.

So have a good look at your cosmetics and skin care products and if they’re big brand name products from your local store then the chances are that they have some nasty ingredients in them and that itself could be causing sensitive skin care problems.

Use low allergenic laundry detergents too. There are many detergents that also contain ingredients that may cause skin reactions in people with all sorts of skin types. In particular wash sheets and pillow cases with low or non allergenic detergents. Rinse well and avoid any detergents, as well as skin care products and cosmetics, with fragrances.

Fragrances are also chemicals and can cause skin reactions for all skin types, including those with oily skin and healthy skin.

And if you have specific skin allergy problems a good allergy specialist can also find out if there are any other products that you could be using that are also causing problems.

You need to try out a range of natural cosmetics and natural skin care products that may well fix your sensitive skin problem for you, if not then you need to keep looking.

And fortunately there are 2 excellent natural skin care and natural cosmetics companies that make fine products that will be perfect for many people with sensitive skin, and fortunately these are excellent skin care products and cosmetics as well, and price competitive.

That’s because they don’t even try and compete with the big brand name skin care and anti aging products. They don’t advertise on TV which contributes hugely to keeping the cost of their products down. They rely largely on the quality of their products to sell their products for them through word of mouth.

Most of those big brand name products that you might be buying now will do very little and are made down to a price.

So there’s some sensitive skin tips. If they don’t work consult an expert like a good dermatologist, but just doing these things may well clear up your sensitive skin.

‘Sensitive skin care’ is governed by a few basic rules. However, even before we delve into the rules for sensitive skin care, it’s important to understand what a sensitive skin is. Sensitive skin is one which is unable to tolerate any unfavourable conditions (environmental/other), and which easily gets irritated on contact with foreign materials (including skin care products). For this reason, some products are especially labelled as sensitive skin care products. The degree of sensitivity can however vary from person to person (and depending on that, the sensitive skin care procedures vary too). Generally, all skin types respond negatively to detergents and other chemical based products. However, the damage starts generally beyond a defined threshold (or tolerance level). This tolerance level is very low for sensitive skin types, leading to skin getting damaged very easily and quickly. Sensitive skin care products either avoid the potential irritants or keep them at very low concentrations. Here are a few tips for sensitive skin care: * Use sensitive skin care products only (i.e. the products that are marked for sensitive skin care only). Also, check the instructions/ notes on the product to see if there are specific restrictions/warnings associated with the product). * Even within the range of sensitive skin care products, choose the one that has minimum preservatives, colourings and other additives * Do not use toners. Most of them are alcohol based and are not recommended for sensitive skin. * Wear protective gloves when doing laundry or other chemical based cleaning. If you are allergic to rubber, you can wear cotton gloves below the rubber ones. * Another important tip for ‘sensitive skin care’ is to avoid excessive exposure to sun. Apply sunscreen lotion before getting out in the sun. * Avoiding exposure to dust and other pollutants is also important for sensitive skin care. So, cover yourself adequately before going out. * Use hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic moisturizer as a sensitive skin care product (if there is none specifically labelled as a sensitive skin care product) * Use soap-free and alcohol free cleansers. Cleanse your face whenever you return from spending time out doors. * Do not scrub or exfoliate too hard. It can cause reddishness and even inflammation. * Do not leave the makeup on for too long. Use hypoallergenic makeup- removers. So, sensitive skin care is very different from the normal skin care. Sensitive skin care is more about being careful with your skin (both in terms of sensitive skin care products and protection against environments atrocities on skin).
