How to exfoliate sensitive skin? Three steps to get it done

When exfoliating sensitive skin, you must not rub too hard. You must master the many factors of exfoliation. Especially for sensitive skin, the frequency must not be too frequent. In addition, you must use the right technique, otherwise it will cause a lot of fine lines.

1. Reduce your exfoliation frequency

In fact, there is no fixed frequency for exfoliation. Everyone's skin type is different, and due to seasonal and environmental factors, the metabolism frequency of the stratum corneum is also different. You should adjust the exfoliation cycle reasonably according to your own situation. You may try observing and touching. If your skin feels rough, inelastic, dull and lifeless, it is possible that your stratum corneum is too thick and you need to exfoliate it.

2. How to exfoliate skin in special conditions

1. Red-blooded skin: Whether it is dry or oily, red-blooded skin is skin with a very thin epidermis and damaged barrier function. It is therefore particularly susceptible to external aggression and stimulation, causing allergies. This type of skin requires special attention when exfoliating, try to avoid abrasive and acid products, and reduce the frequency of exfoliation.

2. Dry skin: When exfoliating dry skin, you should choose mild products. You can use more moisturizing cheeses to help soften and fall off rough cuticles without causing excessive friction on the skin, which may aggravate dryness and discomfort.

3. Skin diseases or inflamed acne-prone skin: If you already have skin diseases such as allergies, dermatitis, etc., exfoliating will only aggravate the condition. In addition, acne-prone skin is not suitable for exfoliation, especially contagious pustular acne. It is recommended to avoid places where acne occurs and never touch the acne.

3. Timely hydration and sun protection

After exfoliation, the aging, rough cuticles, acne, melanin, etc. on the facial epidermis will be removed more cleanly, and the stratum corneum will be thinner than before. At this time, you should strengthen hydration, moisturizing and sun protection to avoid causing dry and sensitive skin.
