Sensitive skin is seen in many people and it is the most fragile kind of skin type. Sensitive skin has a low tolerance level to certain products or environmental conditions. People with sensitive skin may react quickly to chemicals, heat or wind by developing red, blotchy and irritated skin. Different people have different levels of skin sensitivity. Some people may react to a product, while for others it produces no effect. Similarly, some people may have a very severe reaction, while others only have a mild reaction.

DO’s:

  1. Take allergy patch test always on your inner arm every time you are tempted to buy a new product in the market. If your skin starts burning or itching within minutes of applying a product, wash it off immediately.
  2. Every six months, throw out all bacteria-collecting products like eyeliner and mascara.
  3. Never use any article where the oil and water mixture has separated or where the colors are clearly separating. Keep soothing lotions like rose water and witch hazel at hand.
  4. If you find yourself reacting to sunscreen products, try a sunscreen that is water-resistant rather than water proof, as the former contains less synthetic oils. The more your sunscreen, the better; it’s the chemical ingredients that cause sensitivity problems. Try chemical free Super Sensitive Faceblock SPF30.
  5. While sorting out the cosmetic products always check out for hypo allergic range and keep the use of chemical-based products to a minimum.
DON’Ts:
  1. Never ever start with any cosmetic product on your face unless you are sure after the patch allergy test.
  2. Never expose your skin to radiation and do not go out under the sun without a sunscreen lotion.
