First of all, we need to understand the reasons for skin sensitivity.
"The right medicine" can "get rid of the disease"
The root cause of skin problems, such as sensitive skin, thin skin or easy redness, is the damage of skin barrier, and skin barrier is the "defender" of our skin. It is a weakly acidic sebum film on the surface of our skin, which can lock in moisture and protect our skin from external invasion. However, the damage caused by environmental pressure or physical factors will make the natural sebum membrane fragile, make sensitive substances more likely to invade the skin, and lead to skin sensitivity, redness and other problems.
Here comes the point!
So how should people with sensitive skin care for their fragile skin?
1. Mild cleaning
For sensitive skin, it is best to avoid soap-based cleansing, and try to choose amino acid surfactant for cleansing, which is gentle and close to human PH value. Weak acidic cleanser is mild and non-irritating. Alkaline cleaning power is strong, but it will destroy the natural protective layer of skin, which is more suitable for oily skin. Amino acid cleansing products are a good choice. Amino acids have a good affinity with human skin, which can clean the face without tightness and dryness, and make the skin feel comfortable.
Wash your face tips!
Cleaning should be gentle, and splashing water on your face to wash off the foam is the correct way. Gently pat with water in both hands to take away foam or cleansing residue, and don't rub hard to damage the stratum corneum.
Do a good job in sun protection
People with sensitive skin have damaged skin barrier and weak defense function against ultraviolet rays, which is very easy to get sunburned. Doing a good job of sun protection is very helpful for the recovery of sensitive skin. For sensitive skin, the safest thing is to avoid sunburn and do a good job of hard sun protection, because it will not have any impact on the skin. Under the premise that the skin can bear it, sunscreen is also a very beneficial supplement. The choice of sunscreen is explained in detail in ps's previous article, and babies who don't understand can go and have a look.
Repair skin barrier
Skin moisturizing and the formation of epidermal barrier are the key to the maintenance of sensitive skin. The thin stratum corneum of sensitive skin often can't keep enough moisture, and it is easier to feel dehydrated and dry than ordinary people. The use of moisturizing ingredients is helpful to restore the moisture content of stratum corneum, rebuild epidermal lipids, repair damaged epidermal barrier and greatly resist external stimuli. Therefore, it is very important to strengthen moisturizing in daily maintenance. At the same time, sensitive muscles can choose some lotion with calming and soothing effects. You can see the healthy skin and the damaged skin state through the picture below.
Reduce stimulation
When the makeup skin gets hot, it can show that the skin health has turned red. The best way to make the skin recover as soon as possible is to reduce irritation, not to be exposed to excessive wind and sun, not to eat irritating food, and to choose safe products without alcohol and essence for skin care products.
