Co-author: Lactic Acid Peel. Dry skin is very often sensitive, which only makes it more difficult to care for. Dry sensitive skin feels tight because of the deficient lubrication and has a tendency to develop small expression lines that will evolve into wrinkles. Moreover, such a skin specificity makes one more exposed to sudden flushes, rashes, allergic reactions and capillary damage. Therefore, the care for dry sensitive skin could be a continuous problem. Moreover, dry sensitive skin is encountered regardless of gender, age or race.
The choice of make up, cleansing and moisturizing products has to follow rigorous steps when you have to care for dry sensitive skin. First of all, stop using all sorts of products for skincare; the more the chemicals one comes into contact with, the higher the chances to develop rashes. All the products have to be fragrance free and hypo-allergenic so that you don’t develop red irritation blotches.
The blusher and the foundation could pose some problems for dry sensitive skin.
Avoid using too much make-up in order to allow the skin to breathe adequately. Besides the hypo-allergenic feature, another recommendation is that you choose an oil-free item. Water-based foundation and blusher make excellent choices because the risk of pore clogging is lower. Furthermore, dry sensitive skin is not compatible with oil absorbing foundations because these tend to dry the skin by eliminating the supposed sebum excess.
The skin dermis specific to dry sensitive skin should not be exfoliated or treated with astringent products. And we could say the same thing about cleaning too: if you wash too frequently, you increase dryness by eliminating the natural skin oils meant to lubricate the tissues.
Furthermore, make sure that the daytime moisturizer has an incorporated SPF (sun-protection factor) higher than 15. Unfortunately, sunbathing will not be a favorite pastime for people who suffer from skin dryness.
Premature aging and skin problems are the main consequences of sunbathing. And finally, be careful when you change skincare products. When you decide to switch to a different skincare brand, it is important to test the product on a small skin portion to check whether you react allergically to it or not.
