How can I remedy it?
Simplify your skincare routine
The most effective way of treating sensitivity is with skincare that will help to soothe itching and dryness while working to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. It is advisable, however, to keep your routine simple and use products with minimal ingredients to avoid creating any further irritation. Face serums are a great way to instantly soothe and hydrate the skin as they have a low molecular size which can penetrate the skin quickly and carry active ingredients to the deep layers of the dermis.
Protect the skin from environmental aggressors
Pollution and UV rays are always present in our environment and can weaken the skin’s natural barrier function. Prevent this from happening by applying a broad-spectrum suncreen in a high SPF to your face every day.
Eat a healthy, balanced diet
If you are prone to skin sensitivity, it’s important to pay close attention to your diet so that you can identify any possible triggers. Eating a healthy, balance of foods including lots of fresh fruit and vegetables will also you get the nutrients you need for your body to work optimally. Find out which foods are best here
Avoid over-stripping the skin
Try to avoid harsh astringent formulas or scrubs as they can strip the skin of essential lipids and oils that keep the skin plump and hydrated. Look for formulas with active ingredients that help to hydrate, soothe and protect the skin from environmental aggressors.
