How to choose skin care products for sensitive skin

Choose high-quality skin care products with simple formula while avoiding irritating ingredients 

It is recommended that sensitive muscles pay attention to the ingredient list when choosing skin care products. 

The first is to pick a product that looks simple and has relatively few ingredients. Because for sensitive muscles, one more ingredient—whether it is a moisturizer or a conditioner—must mean more risk of sensitization. 

Secondly, it is best to avoid the cleansing of soap bases and products containing irritating ingredients such as acids (such as A acid) and alcohols (such as alcohol).

 Finally, try to use skin care products with good quality ingredients. However, most people who are not in the industry and do not touch the supply chain are really unable to judge this. Can only say that, from the perspective of insurance, do not be cheap, buy too cheap skin care products. 

Skin care steps should be streamlined

 For sensitive muscles, after gentle cleansing, as long as the moisture is enough, you don't need water cream essence to use it all the time (in fact, normal skin is also the case). 

It is recommended to use only warm water to cleanse the face without makeup or skin oil. Even facial cleanser can be saved. Of course, in the daytime skin care procedures, sunscreen is indispensable.

On the recommendations of skin care ingredients, 

Natural ingredients, including marigold, Centella asiatica, chamomile extract, aloe extract and purslane extract. These natural ingredients have been clinically proven to have a better soothing effect. 

Chemically synthesized raw material, β-glucan derived from yeast cell wall, modified into carboxymethyl β-glucan. It has moisturizing, anti-oxidant, and immune system and repair functions.

 Vitamin B. The nicotinamide we often mention is vitamin B3, which can reduce transepidermal water loss and repair the skin barrier. Other moisturizing ingredients. Such as ceramide, allantoin, etc., are also often used as soothing moisturizing ingredients.

Introduce the basic skin care principles and methods, but also talk about taboos. 

1. Avoid excessively sticky, heavy products Because the skin feel of a product is sticky and heavy, there are generally two situations: one is the addition of macromolecular glue, the skin is not absorbed, and even many non-sensitive muscles will be red and uncomfortable after use; The species is rich in nutrients and high in oil. This texture is not suitable for sensitive groups.

2. Avoid excessive cleansing and long cleansing time It is recommended that the sensitive muscles should be cleaned up to twice a day, and the cleansing product should stay on the face for up to 1 minute.
   

3. Use less cleansing mask and cleansing instrument For sensitive muscles, both types of products are prone to over-cleaning problems.

4.  Do not exfoliate at high frequency The skin consists of the epidermis, the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue. We generally say that the skin care is carried out in the epidermis. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis, the main role is to protect the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The stratum corneum with the right thickness has a good natural moisturizing capacity and also has better resistance. The problem of sensitive muscles is precisely that the stratum corneum is thin, the secretion of sebum is small, the ability to lock water is poor, and the resistance is weak.

   So a very important step in the daily maintenance of sensitive muscles is the repair of the stratum corneum - both gently moisturizing and not stimulating the weak cuticle. Therefore, sensitive muscles should not blindly exfoliate at high frequency, and it is good to have a gentle exfoliation in about half a month.
