Avoid skin allergies and analyze how to care for sensitive skin

Sensitivity means that the skin is very fragile and cannot adapt to changes in the external environment. And there will be an uncomfortable feeling, which is an unhealthy skin type. According to experts, sensitive skin mainly has the following characteristics:

Sensitive skin is characterized by

Contact with cosmetics or seasonal allergies can easily cause skin allergies, resulting in redness, swelling and itching. The skin lacks luster and the cheeks are prone to redness and swelling.

Due to seasonal changes, the skin tends to be in an unstable state. The main symptoms are itching, burning, stinging, itchy skin and small rashes.

Myth 2: Rough, red, and dry skin is ugly, so use more powder to cover it up

Correct answer: If your skin is inflamed, you should stop wearing makeup. Inflamed skin is very sensitive, so you should stop wearing makeup first. This way the skin can breathe easily and freely and slowly recover. If you use cosmetics, it will only cause more damage to your skin.

The correct method: For sensitive skin that has become inflamed, even with powder it will not adhere to the skin, and the lack of air permeability will cause increased sensitivity. It is best not to put on makeup and let the skin rest for a few days. If you must put on makeup, just "sunscreen + powder" will do. Choose breathable, moisturizing, light and burden-free powder.

Misconception 3: Apply facial cleanser directly to your face and scrub it

Correct answer: Facial cleanser that is not rubbed into foam will stick tightly to the skin surface and damage the sebum film.

The correct method: Add clean water to the facial cleanser and rub it to make foam first, because the detergent can exert its cleaning effect after foaming, and the foam is milder than the unfoamed milky state. When washing your face, wash the T-zone first, then gently wash your cheeks with warm water.

Myth 4: Once you experience sensitivity, you switch to a whole set of special skin care products for sensitive skin

Correct answer: This is not safe. Once the skin is allergic, it will become extremely delicate.

The correct method: Don’t replace all of them at once. You can start with the last products in the skin care routine, such as night cream or lotion, and gradually replace them all. You can also stop using irritating products first, such as those containing alcohol or fruit acid.

Misconception 5: Simplifying skin care routine for fear of skin allergies, just applying some toner is enough

Correct answer: People with sensitive skin must apply moisturizer and sunscreen.

The correct method: "Itching" is the most common symptom of sensitive skin. The biggest reason for itching is dryness. Only by fully moisturizing the skin can you alleviate allergic symptoms and help cells recover. Applying sunscreen can prevent the skin from being damaged by ultraviolet rays.

Myth 6: If you don’t have time to clean your powder puff, it’s okay to continue using it

Correct answer: Unclean cosmetic tools are also the culprit for skin sensitivity!

The correct method: When you touch up your makeup, the oil on your face will be absorbed by the powder puff. The powder puff full of oil comes into contact with the air, which is the best breeding ground for bacteria. Using a dirty powder puff is not only unsightly, but it can also make your skin fragile or cause acne.

The powder puff should be cleaned once a week with a special cleanser or mild soap. After washing, press it with facial tissue to absorb water and then dry it in the shade.
