SENSITIVE SKIN

If you have skin problems like rosacea, flushed skin, rashes, itchiness or just skin reactions to products, you belong to the sensitive skin family. Sensitive skin requires extra love and care, as it is prone to more problems. Having a simple routine of cleansing, moisturizing, and toning your face regularly will help maintain your skin. If you are dealing with breakouts you can use a pimple cream for men and combat it.

FACIAL CLEANSER

• • Recommended: 
  1. It’s really important to keep your face clean. But one of the worst things you can do to sensitive skin is to wash it too frequently. This is something that dermatologists see all the time in men with sensitive skin.
  2. Don’t even think about using a bar of soap to wash your face! Because it’s going to dry out your skin and have the opposite effect of what we’re trying to do here.
  3. Instead use a gentle face wash. One that will clean your face but without causing dryness.

• • TIP: 
  1. You need a non-drying face wash that is made with gentle ingredients that won’t irritate your face. Look for natural soothing ingredients like Aloe Vera and Allantoin which will work to calm your skin.
  2. And Glycerin too. This is an excellent ingredient for keeping your skin hydrated and making sure that it is not stripped of essential moisture.

                    SCRUB

• • Recommended:  
  1. Exfoliating away dead, flaky skin cells can instantly reveal brand-new, smooth, clear skin.
  2. But the key word is ‘gently’…
  3. Avoid using a facial scrub to exfoliate your face! They are too harsh for facial skin (especially sensitive skin) damaging the surface and causing your skin to become even more dry and irritated.
  4. A gentle ‘chemical’ exfoliant, and a policy of ‘little and often’ is a much kinder way to go.
  5. You need a good quality, non-drying face wash that includes a gently exfoliating Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (an AHA).

• • TIP:  Gently exfoliating everyday with our Daily Face Wash is the best option for sensitive skins.

              MOISTURIZER

• • • Recommended:  
    1. The key to reducing sensitivity is to keep your skin well-hydrated.
    2. This helps to create a strong and healthy skin barrier, which will ward off both dryness and sensitivity.
    3. So moisturizing your face and your body both morning and night is a must.
  • • TIP:  
    1.  Choose a lightweight moisturizer which increases hydration as well as healing the protective lipid barrier of your skin.
    2. It should absorb easily so that you don’t have to use pressure to rub it in.
    3. One of the best ingredients to look for is Hyaluronic Acid.

                       SERUM

• • Recommended:  
  1. Reach for a hydrating formula that will help maintain moisture within the skin’s surface layers, like Hydro-Plumping Hydrating Serum. It’s made with glycerin and our unique epidermal hydration filler and helps encourage the skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid.
• • TIP:  
  1.  Use one to two pumps to cover your face and allow it to sink in before moving on to the next step in your sensitive skin routine.
