Sometimes sensitive skin is perceived as a double punishment: it is prone to irritation, and makeup is contraindicated for it. However, you should not deny yourself the pleasure of applying makeup even with very sensitive skin. It is able to neutralize redness, improve the appearance of the skin and protect it from the adverse effects of the environment. True, you should follow a few basic rules.
RULE 1
Test products before application
Sensitive skin reacts to ingredients that are generally well tolerated by “regular” skin. Therefore, it is important to test the product on a small area of the face before use. If you don’t feel any discomfort within 24 hours, the good news is that this product is for you!
RULE 2
Avoid Allergens
When choosing cosmetics for sensitive skin, you should be careful. There should be no secrets in the list of ingredients. Make sure the product meets all safety criteria and has been hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. Also, don’t forget to look for the “nickel tested” mark, which indicates that the nickel content in the product is minimal, so the risk of allergic reactions is reduced.
RULE 3
Learn about the main allies
Sensitive skin has not only enemies, but also allies who need to be known “by sight”. When choosing makeup products, opt for hypoallergenic, non-greasy, non-comedogenic formulas that are rich in moisturizers and antioxidants. Light textures that do not clog pores and allow the skin to breathe are better for you. Finally, choose products that provide protection against harsh external factors such as harsh sun and environmental pollution.
RULE 4
Thermal spring water is the best choice
After applying make-up, mist La Roche-Posay Thermal Water onto your face to not only set it, but also soften, moisturize and protect the skin thanks to a unique combination of minerals and trace elements, in particular selenium, which has antioxidant properties.
RULE 5
Take care of your beauty products and they will do the same for you.
Cosmetic products take care of your skin. Do you take care of your beauty products? To keep them as effective and enjoyable as the first day, store them in a cool, dry place (preferably not in the bathroom). Never leave them open and wash your brushes after each use.
