Every person has a different type of skin and different type of care is needed for the skin. Out of all the skin types, sensitive skin is the one that needs the most care. It is important to detect that you have sensitive skin in order to pay special attention. In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar tells all about sensitive skin and the causes behind having sensitive skin.
Sensitive skin can have a number of causes. Some people have sensitive skin from the beginning and some people develop this skin type with time. People, who develop skin sensitivity with time, maybe facing this condition due to an underlying disease. So, if you are experiencing some sudden changes in your skin texture, you should consult a doctor.
A skincare routine for sensitive skin is similar to any other skincare routine. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that you cannot use any product on your skin. You need to test the products before you use them and make sure they are mild in nature.
Make sure you remove the makeup carefully and use a mild makeup remover or astringent that isn’t too harsh on your skin. Dead cells can be the reason behind your skin getting irritated and red. You should try keeping your skin as clean as possible. So, choose a cleanser that is not harsh on your skin and will leave your skin free from any dirt and irritation.
If you have sensitive skin, you may be familiar with frequent redness and inflammation on your skin. This is one of the consequences of having red skin. So, you should try dabbing your face with a cool cloth to relieve your skin cells and get your skin back to normal. A cold compress always works in such situations. You should even keep an ointment or a lotion ready for such situations. The product you choose should have anti-inflammatory properties.
