Looking For Some Serious Sensitive Skin Care? Here’s How.
December 31, 2009 4:52 am skin careIf you’ve got sensitive skin it might be getting you down. If so I’ve got some sensitive skin care tips that I can share with you.
If you have sensitive skin there’s some simple things you can do for it that may mean you really don’t need to have sensitive skin.
All that annoying blotchiness, redness, inflammation and itchiness can often be controlled.
Of course some people have a skin condition that may need professional care from a dermatologist. But for many getting rid of those sensitive skin symptoms can be quite simple, so why not try these first.
So if you suffer then the first thing you need to do is to examine all those creams, blushes, foundations, moisturizers and so on that you use now, because it can often be those anti aging skincare products and cosmetics and more that are causing the problem.
I write extensively about the nasty ingredients that are found in many big brand name cosmetics and skin care products on my website.
Here’s an example. Parabens. Parabens is the name of a range of chemicals that are used extensively in many big brand skin care and anti aging products and cosmetics. They are very cheap and are used as a preservative. And parabens are listed in the cosmetics database as a hazard. 2 are listed as a hazard on a scale of 1 to 10 of at least a 7 or 8.
And a chemical like a paraben can itself cause skin reactions. So, ironically, the very products that you are using may well be causing your skin problems. Maybe or maybe not, but it’s worth finding out.
Many big brand cosmetics and skin care products include similar or the same ingredients, and you may well find that if you change your cosmetic brand to a natural non allergenic cosmetic brand many, or all, of your sensitive skin problems go away.
The writer of this article has direct experience of this. My 8 year old daughter had to use cosmetics for her first ballet performance recently. Not something that an 8 year old would normally use, but she did that day.
Within a short time her face had broken out in a rash and we removed the cosmetics and it went away. No more big brand cosmetics for my daughter.
So have a good look at your cosmetics and skin care products and if they’re big brand name products from your local store then the chances are that they have some nasty ingredients in them and that itself could be causing sensitive skin care problems.
Use low allergenic laundry detergents too. There are many detergents that also contain ingredients that may cause skin reactions in people with all sorts of skin types. In particular wash sheets and pillow cases with low or non allergenic detergents. Rinse well and avoid any detergents, as well as skin care products and cosmetics, with fragrances.
And even for people with oily or healthy skin fragrances can cause problems.
And visit an allergy specialist, they can often determine exactly what it is that is causing a skin allergy or allergic reaction, and if you can isolate what it is then you can try and eliminate that ingredient. It may well be from your skin care products or cosmetics.
You need to try out a range of natural cosmetics and natural skin care products that may well fix your sensitive skin problem for you, if not then you need to keep looking.
And fortunately there are 2 excellent natural skin care and natural cosmetics companies that make fine products that will be perfect for many people with sensitive skin, and fortunately these are excellent skin care products and cosmetics as well, and price competitive.
They’re priced competitively because they don’t spend huge amounts on TV advertising and so keep their costs right down. They rely on their products to sell themselves once people have tried them.
Most of the big brand name skin care products including sensitive skin care products do very little and are made down to a price rather than up to a standard.
So there’s a few things for you to do if you have sensitive skin and are looking for some good sensitive skin care tips. If these don’t work then try consulting an expert like a dermatologist, but for many people with skin problems just doing these things will clear up those nasty rashes and blotches and redness and itchiness.
