What is sensitive skin and what skincare is suitable for it?
Everyone has to deal with it at some point: sensitive skin. Unfortunately, sensitive skin always shows up at the wrong moment. But don't worry: in this blog we give you all the tips you need to care for, protect and treat your sensitive skin.
How do you recognise sensitive skin?
If your skin is a bit more sensitive, you will more often deal with redness and irritation. Your skin can sometimes itch and even feel like it's burning. Dry skin combined with sensitive skin is also common. A final characteristic is skin that feels tight or tingly.
Cleansing sensitive skin
With sensitive skin it is important to avoid friction. Make sure you remove your make-up properly every day, preferably without too much rubbing. That's why it helps to use a make-up remover pad, which makes removing your make-up super easy. The nice thing about these pads is that you only need to add water (warm or cold), so there are no harsh ingredients for your sensitive skin in them at all. View all remover pads here.
Caring for sensitive skin
When your skin is irritated, it is very understandable that you don't want to irritate it further and therefore want to skip steps in your daily skincare routine. But that is exactly what you shouldn't do. If you don't cleanse your skin properly, dead skin cells stay behind on your skin, which can clog your pores. And when your pores get clogged, your skin only becomes more irritated. Also use a suitable serum and a good cream. The Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre, for example, is a cream that nourishes and hydrates the skin at the same time.
Sensitive skin and a moisturizer
A moisturizer helps your skin hold on to moisture and protects it against environmental factors. For protection against UV radiation you also need a product with SPF. When you apply the cream, it is good to warm it between your palms first, so the moisturizer works even better. Click here for a moisturizer for sensitive skin.
Use a special pillowcase
Something else that helps you get calmer and healthier skin again is sleeping well. A lack of sleep can lead to skin problems, more stress and, of course, a worse mood. Use a special pillowcase, for example, so your skin isn't irritated during the night. These pillowcases are also ideal for your hair.
