Features of caring for sensitive skin
Proper care for sensitive facial skin is not only delicate scrubs and gentle peels, but also proper daily manipulations. In order for the tissue condition to gradually improve, it is recommended to follow the following rules:
- Water for washing must be softened, filtered or boiled. The best option is to use herbal decoctions. After them, the use of decorative cosmetics will not cause such a violent reaction and peeling for sensitive skin will demonstrate its properties better.
- To ensure that a scrub for sensitive skin does not damage the tissue, before starting the manipulation, the face must be moistened with water, a herbal decoction or a very light cream that does not form a film.
- To maintain the effect obtained after salon procedures, it is recommended for some time to use specialized products of the same brand that were used during cleansing.
- You should not change your usual peeling for sensitive skin to more aggressive options if noticeable improvements appear. You can change the product only if the manipulation no longer gives the desired effect. This indicates an improvement in the protective functions of tissues.
- The scrub for sensitive skin is recommended to be used only when indicated. Any mechanical impact on the tissue can negatively affect the condition of the epidermis and lead to increased symptoms.
- If increased sensitivity of facial skin is a consequence of pregnancy and the hormonal changes in the body caused by it, it is recommended to be patient and wait until the factor ends. Attempts to neutralize the condition may lead to nothing and may even worsen the situation. And during such a period, the skin just needs to be “pampered” more often with soothing compresses.
