Sensitive Acne-prone Skin Is A Nightmare. Here’s How You Can Deal With It…
Written by Urvi DalalApr 10, 2019
Oily acne-prone skin is quite troublesome; add to this mixture sensitive skin, and you are living a nightmare. Oily skin especially becomes a problem when you add sensitivity and redness to the mixture.
Acne remedies that work on normal or dry skin may not always show the same results on sensitive skin; in fact it could make the issue a lot worse. So then what is the solution for sensitive-skinned girls? With the right care, you can tame oily shine, improve acne, and learn to embrace your skin sensitivity. Find out how...
Using a harsh face wash or a soap bar strips your skin of its natural and essential oils, making it prone to sensitivity and redness. Use a mild face wash such as the Simple Kind To Skin Refreshing Facial Wash that is free of any harsh chemicals and is ideal for sensitive skin.
Use gentle exfoliants
Harsh scrubs can easily irritate your sensitive skin, causing redness and burning. Stay away from gritty and abrasive particles in your scrubs. Use a scrub that’s especially suited for sensitive skin such as the St. Ives Blemish & Blackhead Control Apricot Scrub prevents acne and is extremely gentle on sensitive skin.
Use a purifying toner
A toner may seem like a useless step in your skincare routine, but it is actually quite beneficial. A toner helps balance the pH levels of your skin and helps your skincare products to work better. But if you have sensitive skin, use a toner that astringent free to prevent skin irritation.
Use a lightweight moisturiser
The texture of the moisturiser you pick is extremely important. Avoid creams and oily lotions, and use a hydrator with a lightweight gel, liquid, or thin lotion texture. You can pick the Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiserthat is quickly absorbed into the skin and does not aggravate your acne.
Avoid paraben and SLS in your skincare products
Avoid skin care with paraben, sodium lauryl sulfate, alcohol and fragrances as these ingredients can strip acne-prone skin of essential moisture and breakdown its acid mantle, leaving it susceptible to irritation.
