Sensitive Skin
While people with sensitive skin often have dry skin, that is not always the case. You may have oily, blemish-prone, combination, normal or dry skin yet also experience skin sensitivity. Sensitivity may include tingling, tightening and discomfort, with or without visible signs. Your sensitive skin may easily react to products, including make up and face care products, and you may experience skin overreaction to external factors such as shaving, stress or aesthetic procedures.
The key to managing sensitive skin is to use gentle, non-irritating products, moisture regularly, and stay away from known triggers that cause you sensitivity.
Potentially irritating ingredients often found in face care products:
- Sodium lauryl sulfate / sodium laureth sulfate
- Fragrance & Dyes
- Parabens
- Lanolin
- Soap
- Exfoliating scrubs or micro-beads
Your Skin’s Moisture Barrier
Your skin has a natural moisture barrier and it plays an important role in maintaining clear, healthy-looking skin. Your moisture barrier helps defend against external elements that cause blemishes, dryness and sensitivity. When that barrier is disrupted, cracks form, allowing external elements like dirt, bacteria, pollutants and cosmetics to enter, which may lead to skin sensitivity and blemishes. Those cracks also allow precious moisture to escape, leaving your skin looking and feeling tight and dry. Therefore, it is important to use products that are gentle and do not disrupt your skin’s moisture barrier.
3 Simple Steps
A daily skin care routine is important in managing your sensitive skin. Using the right products and having both a morning and night routine is key to keeping your skin clear and healthy-looking. Depending on your skin type (Blemish-Prone/Oily, Normal to Combination, Dry) select the Spectro skin care system that is right for you. All of these products are formulated for sensitive skin.
