Sensitive Skin Type: Daily Skin Care Regimen
People with sensitive skin are prone to breakouts due to reactions to ingredients in skin care products. This is why using natural or organic skin care products is in your best interest. Avoid products that contain fragrances, dyes and other harsh ingredients.
Here's a simple 5 step sensitive skin care regimen:
Cleanse, Exfoliate, Tone, Decongest and Moisturize
1- Use a hypo-allergic, fragrance free, mild facial cleanser.
2- Use a fragrance free and dye free moisturizer that contains Vitamin E, an antioxidant with natural sun protection. However, you will need to still find a hypoallergenic sunscreen for sensitive skin.
3- Use a mild hypo-allergenic facial peel to micro-exfoliate once per week. This is the gentlest form.
4- Use a natural toner like Witch Hazel to close your pores. It's much gentler on your skin than commercial products.
5- If you tend to get blackheads or whiteheads, you may use a special treatment mask for sensitive skin once per week. An all natural clay based mask will work as well.
Again, due to the nature of sensitive skin, organic skin care products that are hypo-allergenic all around are best.
Always remove any makeup before going to be each night by using the cleanser for your skin type followed by the witch hazel for toner and sensitive skin moisturizer. It's also best to do your facial peels in the evening for the sake of time.
Follow this sensitive skin care regimen and steps to protect and provide for your skin all year round.
