In this blog we will be discussing sensitive skin concerns, causes, solutions, key ingredients that are beneficial to reducing redness/inflammation & how to get your skin back on track. 

Some things you may not realize you are doing that contribute to your sensitive skin!

Placing your face in hot shower water.

This strips our skin of natural healthy oils on the epidermis. Repeating this one simple action day after day may seem minuscule in our lives but believe it or not this is the first step of recovery for your skin omitting this one step to your routine. Hot water inflames and aggravates the skin leaving it feeling tight, uncomfortable, with visible redness. 

Over exfoliating

In the aesthetics industry we recommend exfoliating once a week. By over exfoliating you can damage the most outer layer of your skin causing hypersensitivity. This can cause irritation, breakouts and even a stinging feeling when you apply products. 

Products containing alcohol

It depletes vital substances needed for healthy skin, harms your skin’s protective surface. Plain and simple, alcohol is pro-aging.

Fragrance

If you suffer from eczema, psoriasis or roseaca highly fragranced products are one of the most irritating and allergenic ingredients in your lotions & can trigger allergies.
