Thin skin

Thin-skinned, this article is for you. We will not only offer 10 beauty products for thin skin, but also tell you how to properly care for it.

Features of thin skin

Thin skin is in a special position. After all, the characteristic “thin” refers not to the type and not to the temporary state of the skin, but to the physiological features of its structure.

Thin skin is vulnerable and sensitive.

You can determine if you have thin skin by the following visual signs:

  • pores are almost imperceptible;

  • the tone is light, pale due to the low level of melanin;

  • visible capillary network;

  • the face turns red from touch and temperature changes;

  • easily irritated.

Based on the above, it is clear that sensitive skin of the dry type is often thin. However, if you try hard, and oily skin can be thinned by improper care and aggressive procedures.

Determine your skin type by answering the test questions.

Rules for choosing cosmetics

In caring for thin skin, strictly follow these six rules.

  3. Do not leave makeup on your face overnight.

  4. Do not use alcohol-based products.

  5. Apply creams twice a day.

  6. Apply sunscreen daily, even in winter.

Choose your exfoliators carefully. Acid peels are undesirable, as are scrubs with large abrasive particles.

Caring for thin skin should be delicate.

Alexander Prokofiev explains: “Exfoliation is necessary to improve breathing and relief of the skin. If for normal and oily skin, the scrub can be used 1-2 times a week, for thin skin, once every 7-10 days is enough. At the same time, use gentle scrubs with polyethylene microgranules.
