How to take care of sensitive skin? The degree of care is very important

Sensitive skin has a very thin stratum corneum, so most of the time it is accompanied by redness on the skin surface, visible red blood streaks, and even severe symptoms such as itching, stinging, swelling, and rashes. So you need to be extra careful when taking care of your skin.

How to Exfoliate for Sensitive Skin

In terms of skin structure, human skin is composed of three layers: epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the outermost layer, which is what we usually call the stratum corneum. It can resist external friction and prevent the invasion of external chemical substances. The keratin in the stratum corneum can also be used to maintain the softness of the skin. During the skin's metabolism, the skin continuously metabolizes a new stratum corneum from the innermost layer of the epidermis, which is the basal layer, and then forms "old dead cells" and "new dead cells". When too many old dead cells accumulate on the surface of the skin, the skin will appear dull and rough. At this time, you need to exfoliate to let the "old and dead" stratum corneum fall off and the "newly dead" stratum corneum show through, so that the skin can regain its vitality and vigor.

However, the stratum corneum of sensitive skin is generally very thin, so when exfoliating, you need to first choose exfoliating products specifically for sensitive skin. These products not only have finer particles and are not easy to irritate the skin, but also usually contain ingredients that promote the thickening of the stratum corneum. For sensitive skin, it is generally sufficient to exfoliate once every 15-30 days. If you have super sensitive skin and your face often has red blood streaks, swelling, rashes, etc., it is best not to exfoliate. Just nourish and repair your skin regularly.

How to care for sensitive skin

When removing makeup for sensitive skin, it is best to use emulsion-like makeup remover products instead of makeup remover oil. For sensitive skin, dust particles in the air remain attached to the skin surface for a long time, which can easily cause pores to become clogged and inflamed, causing itching and stinging of the skin. So even if you don’t wear makeup during the day, you should remove the dirt on your face as soon as you get home at night, and then clean it with facial cleanser. When using facial cleanser to cleanse your face, you should not over-cleanse, otherwise it will dry out the skin and increase the chance of skin sensitivity, redness and itching. It is advisable to choose a facial cleanser with a mild texture, such as amino acid facial cleanser, which is less harmful to the skin and can also effectively relieve skin itching.

When washing your face, do not rub it hard. Just press lightly with your ten fingertips for about 1 minute. When caring for your skin, choose anti-allergic and moisturizing skin care products to adjust the skin's moisture and enhance skin resistance. When applying lotion, milk, or cream, use both hands to gently press from the inside to the outside. When your skin is usually dry, you can also carry a bottle of moisturizing spray with pure plant ingredients to moisturize your face frequently and keep your skin hydrated.
