Dealing with Dry Skin
Dry skin is very often sensitive too, which just makes it harder to deal with. Dry sensitive skin feels tight because of the lack of natural oils and has a tendency to develop small expression lines that will eventually become wrinkles. Furthermore, this kind of skin makes one more exposed to allergic reactions, rashes, capillaries breaking and sudden flushes. Therefore, the taking care of dry sensitive skin proves quite a challenge at times. It is worth stating the fact that it affects people regardless of age, colour or gender.
You need to follow stringent steps in your choice of cleansing, moisturising and make-up products when you have dry sensitive skin to take care of. First of all, you have to minimize the amount of products you put on your skin. The fact is, the more chemicals you come into contact with, the higher the chance of developing rashes. The products have to be perfume-free and hypo-allergenic so that you don’t get red, irritation blotches. Blusher and foundation can present some problems for dry sensitive skin.
Try not to put on too much make-up in order to permit your skin to breathe adequately. When you are shopping for make up, other than looking for the hypo-allergenic label, you should also try to ensure that they are oil-free. Furthermore, foundation and blusher should be water-based because they don’t clog your pores. Moreover, oil-absorbing foundations are not recommended for dry sensitive skin, because they will make your skin even drier.
It is also not recommended that you use exfoliants or astringent products on dry sensitive skin because they can irritate the thin epidermis. The same thing must be said in relation to washing: over-washing of the face means removing the natural oils that lubricate the skin, which will result in an increased dryness.
Furthermore, your day-time moisturiser ought to have a sun-protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 incorporated into it. However, although you may like sunbathing, dry sensitive skin does not really permit you to enjoy such outdoor, skin-parching pleasures.
Don’t expose dry sensitive skin to the sun only to tan it, because you will only achieve early ageing and possibly even fairly serious health issues. And last but not least, a warning must be given that you should change some of your cosmetic products for others along the lines mentioned above.
If you decide that you should to change to another skincare brand, it is very important that you test the product on a small patch of skin in order to check whether it provokes any negative manifestations.
