Author: Laura Lin

Here are some great tips for sensitive skin. Are your skin prone to irritation and inflammation? Do you always have to be careful of the skincare products and make up that you apply on your face? Does your skin flare out like rashes, redness or inflammation when exposed to the sun? If you do have such encounter, you are likely to have sensitive skin. Skin sensitivity can mean different thing for different people. For one group, it may be related to allergies to food, or products that they apply that caused the skin to flare up, itch, redness or inflammation. For others, it can be related to allergy to cold or hot weather condition, exposure to the sun or acne condition relating to sensitive skin. Here are my advice to you to help you managed your skin better.

1. Water

Make sure that you drink enough water throughout the day. The recommended is 6 - 8 glasses of water a day. Water is essential as it hydrates your body and allow the nutrients to flow throughout your cells for cell renewal. Water is also important for you to flush out the toxins from your body and your lymph nodes.

2. Avoid staying out in the sun

You need to understand your skin well and take necessary precaution to prevent further triggers to your skin. If your skin reacts negatively to the sun, limit your exposure to the UV rays and apply sunblock to protect your skin. Apply sunblock everyday before you leave the home as the UV rays will cause further skin damage and breakdown of collagen resulting in fine lines and wrinkles. Reapply sunblock when necessary.

3. Vitamin C

Vitamin C helps to build up your immune system and improve your collagen and tissue repair and give your a healthy body. It also aids in wound healing and promote healthy skin, gum and teeth.

4. Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidants that helps to protect our skin against free radicals. The free radicals can accelerate the breakdown of our skin cells resulting in damage of our skin. Taking sufficient of the antioxidant, it can help to prevent or delay the process of skin ageing.

5. Pimple

When you have pimples on your face, apply pimple cream on the affected area to speed up the healing. Do not use your hand or fingers to touch the pimple area as our hands are dirty and the bacteria on our hand can further aggravate the pimples and worsen the condition.

6. Keep Your Face Clean

Wash your face regularly to keep your skin clean. However do not overdo, as if you washes your face too often, you will remove away the protective layer of our skin and your skin will become dry or more prone to more problems.

7. Moisturizer

A good moisturizer is very important to hydrate our skin and always retain its moisture. Always apply sufficient moisturizer to keep skin moist and hydrated. For sensitive skin, it will be safe to use a water based moisturizer instead of oil based.

Sensitive skin may be a little difficult to handle but if you take the proper care, you will be able to maintain a good healthy skin. Be sure of what you apply on your face and whenever in doubt, check with the experts for solution.
