SKIN TYPES OR SKIN CONDITIONS


Sensitive Skin
These types of skin are a condition, but are also genetically predisposed.
Sensitive skin characterized by:
- Redness and easily irritated by products and exposure to heat or sun
The right product for Sensitive skin:
1. Gentle cleansing milk is the best type of cleanser. Foaming, detergent-like cleansers can strip the skin’s lipids and barrier protection.
2. Best exfoliates for sensitive skin is enzyme peel.
3. A soothing gel mask is great for calming and toning down redness.
4. Moisturizers with calming ingredients like: chamomile, aloe, azulene, allantoin, licorice extract

You should AVOID harsh exfoliates like scrubs and product with alcohol and fragrances, color agents and preservatives. The goal is to calm and cool the skin.
That type condition is usually genetically but also could be from strong products, medications.
