Find the Right Products for Your Sensitive Skin

by Aileen Fitzharris

Our skin begin changing in our teens due to puberty. Our body begins to produce more hormones, which in turn, makes our skin produce more sebum. The excess production of sebum is the basis of acne outbreaks.

We can also begin to determine the type of skin that we have during this time in our lives. The three basic types of skin are dry skin, oily skin and combination skin. Regardless of which one you have, your skin can also be sensitive.

Sensitive skin produces a slight problem for skin care. Sensitive skin usually reacts to traditional products by developing a rash and/or irritation. That's why you must be very careful about the skin products that you choose.

Achieving the appropriate sensitive skin care has a lot to do with using products that are alcohol and fragrance-free. It is also important that you stay away from ingredients such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. These ingredients are known to irritate or dry out your skin.

Anti Aging Skin Care & Sensitive Skin

For people with sensitive skin, anti aging skin care may be a challenge. Mainstream anti aging products are usually made with ingredients such as Vitamin C that can produce inflammation, itching, and chafing. Nevertheless, you can definitely rely on alternative skin care products to help reduce skin wrinkles and age spots without irritating or drying it out even more.

Try not to use trial and error when it comes to sensitive skin as this can lead to a cycle of irritation that can be hard to treat. Instead, take the smart way out and take your time to check the label on the products so that you can make sure that it contains soothing alternatives - as follows.

*Niacinamide is a great way to treat inflammation and hyperpigmentation. It is particularly good for sensitive skin.

*Aloe Vera is one of the most soothing ingredients found in several skin care products. It can help treat chronic redness and swelling.

*Chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties that make it a very soothing alternative for sensitive skin.

*Licorice root extract, also known as licochalcone, is another soothing alternative that can help alleviate irritation and redness.

*It is important that your anti aging cream contain antioxidants. Look for products with vitamins E and C and green tea. They may cause some irritation but they are much gentler than other alternatives such as AHAs and retinols.

*Finally, if you want to keep your skin young, don't skip the sunscreen. A great way of including sunscreen into your daily skin care routine is by choosing products that contain physical sunscreens instead of chemical ones. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are the best alternatives to chemical sunscreens.
