What to look out for?
Alcohol, fragrances and artificial additives should be red alert and highlighted on your checklist.
These dehydrating ingredients erodes your skin of vital nutrients and equals dry, damaged skin.
Always opt for facial cleansers that contain green tea, chamomile and aloe vera extracts. They are antioxidant rich and repairs and restores your skin clean and clear without stripping your PH balance.
Pay attention to any spicy foods that you eat. Spices are hidden culprits that can aggrevate flare ups. You may just be the target one!
Moisture is key
The water content of your skin decreases significantly either through extreme hot and cold temperatures, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms as well as hot showers, so make sure to moisturise immediately after to replenish and nourish your skin.
Remember, when taking your shower, wash your face seperately with luke warm water and skip the light misty moisturisers, go for ones that have maximum hydration to replace any moisture loss.
In addition, another very important aspect that is very easily overlooked are the makeup tools that we use.
Make informed decisions when it comes to your choice of makeup brushes. Stores are swamped with a broad spectrum of good quality brushes to the extent of it being vegan. Map out your
preferences suited for your type of sensitivity and include soft bristles and
antibacterial properties as priority.
