The cold and dry autumn and winter seasons are the two natural enemies of sensitive skin. For sensitive skin, the identity of cosmetics is “also enemies and friends†– unsuitable cosmetics are likely to be the culprit responsible for sensitivity; suitable cosmetics can care for sensitive skin and avoid sensitive symptoms.
Frequent replacement of skin care products
When autumn is over, many people's skin will appear red, tight, itchy, stinging, scaling (skinning), and even redness and inflammation. These may be sensitive skin. Skin sensitivity is not a “patent†for women, and many men are also sensitive skin.
According to Su Mingshan, deputy director of the Department of Dermatology at Zhongguancun Hospital in Beijing, sensitive skin is not “pathological†but a sub-health state of the skin. The sensitivity of sensitive skin is not always present, it usually occurs after adulthood, and it is usually stimulated in certain circumstances.
It is too arbitrary to determine whether the skin is sensitive or not by the symptoms alone. Once the above symptoms appear in the skin, it is best to go to the hospital to let a professional doctor diagnose the skin, determine whether it is sensitive skin, and find out the skin's allergens. In general, depending on the sensitivity of the skin, the skin can be divided into general sensitive skin, poorly tolerated skin and highly sensitive skin.
Causes of skin sensitivity, both congenital and acquired factors. According to Su Mingshan, genetic factors can cause skin sensitivity, such as eczema, atopic dermatitis is often accompanied by family history; climatic factors can also cause skin sensitivity, such as ultraviolet light, wind blowing, environmental pollution, etc.; skin care products Improper selection can also damage the protective barrier of the skin. Excessive frequent replacement of skin care products can cause excessive sensitization of skin immune cells. Long-term irregular use of hormonal drugs can cause hormone-dependent dermatitis; local drugs can cause skin irritation during the treatment of skin diseases, which can cause skin sensitivity to increase.
Sensitive skin care products
Sensitive skin selection cosmetics need to be extra careful, read the cosmetic instructions carefully. Once you find such words in the ingredients: alcohol, bronopol, sorbic acid, parabens, fragrance (general name of spices), etc., do not buy, because these are easy to cause sensitive Chemical material.
Specific to each skin care step, Su Mingshan gave the following recommendations:
The choice of cleansing products. In autumn and winter, it is best to choose a slightly acidic cleansing product. Skin is often very sensitive to dryness and water shortage in the fall, so when choosing a care product, you should choose ingredients that do not contain spices, alcohol, or heavy preservatives. For cleansing agents, do not choose alkaline products that are too strong and too irritating. If the alkalinity is too strong, it will damage the skin. Therefore, it should be mild and slightly acidic. In addition, cleansing brush, sponge or loofah should not be used when cleaning the face to avoid sensitivity due to friction.
The choice of toner. It is recommended to choose a toner that does not contain alcohol and spices. The role of toner is to give the face a refreshing and smooth feeling. Most of the toners in the world contain alcohol. In addition to making the sensitive skin infrared, when the alcohol evaporates, it will cause the skin to become tight. Therefore, choose a mild and non-alcoholic, perfume-free toner.
The choice of day cream. It is recommended to choose a cream with better moisturizing effect. It is best not to choose a cream with oil control formula. For sensitive skin, it is not advisable to use a irritating and high concentration cream, which is slightly acidic and has no fragrance or is indicated for sensitive skin.
The choice of make-up. It is recommended to choose a high-moisture wet foundation. Because sensitive skin should use anti-allergic effects when using foundation, it should also choose wet foundation with high moisture to reduce the itching caused by dryness.
The choice of sunscreen. Products containing Titanium dioxide or zinc oxide are recommended. However, Su Mingshan reminded that these substances are prone to chemical interaction with metals and cause dark spots. Therefore, it is necessary to let the sunscreen products completely dry before wearing jewelry.
Skin allergy "first aid" program
Even if you choose the right skin care products, you can't guarantee it. Once the skin has allergic symptoms, Su Mingshan gives a “first aid planâ€: first clean the face with cold water or a cleansing lotion without any additives, and apply a thin Vaseline when not completely dry. And in a cool environment, it can quickly calm the skin. If the symptoms are not alleviated, or if there is aggravation, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment, and avoid using drugs to avoid worsening symptoms.
In addition to the selection of cosmetics, paying attention to adjusting diet and work habits in daily life can also alleviate sensitive symptoms and improve skin texture. Su Mingshan reminds that sensitive skin should pay attention to diet and life rules, try to avoid damage to skin caused by spicy food and staying up late. Some foods with higher protein such as meat, seafood, coffee, hot drinks and spicy food can cause skin allergies. Should be minimized to eat. More vitamin C supplementation can strengthen the skin's anti-allergic ability.
In addition, avoid staying in the sun and dry environment for a long time. In daily life, you should actively participate in various physical exercises, enhance your own immunity, improve your physical fitness, and also fight allergies to a certain extent. When changing skin care products during the seasons, it is best to do an allergy test first.
