Got Sensitive Skin? Sensitive Skin Care Explained.

By Peter Albertonach

If you've got sensitive skin it might be getting you down. If so I've got some sensitive skin care tips that I can share with you.

If you have sensitive skin there's some simple things you can do for it that may mean you really don't need to have sensitive skin.

There's a range of annoying symptoms that come with sensitive skin like redness and blotchiness on your skin, itchiness, dryness and lots more.

Of course it may always be worthwhile seeing a dermatologist, but before you consult an expert you can try out some, or all of these remedies. Let science wait till you've tried some basic stuff to see if your skin conditions improve.

So if you suffer then the first thing you need to do is to examine all those creams, blushes, foundations, moisturizers and so on that you use now, because it can often be those anti aging skincare products and cosmetics and more that are causing the problem.

You'll know if you've read my site that Ive warned often about the dangerous ingredients often found in big brand name skin care products like moisturizers, face creams and other skin care treatments and anti wrinkle creams.

Ingredients like parabens, which are used extensively in big brand skin care products as a preservative, can be dangerous. For example the cosmetics database lists 2 parabens (parabens refers to a group of chemicals, not one) as, on a scale of 1 - 10 of hazard, as being at least a 7 or an 8. Ie, in their words, high hazard.

And there's no reason why the presence of parabens would not of itself cause sensitive skin problems. It may or may not, but it's worth asking the question.

And if you change your brand of cosmetics or skin care products (or even soaps, shampoos and much more) to a non allergenic brand that alone may well result in your sensitive skin problems going away.

And the first time I came across this it was a personal experience. My 8 year old daughter had her first ballet concert coming up and she got made up for it, as you do.

Within a short time her face had broken out in a rash and we removed the cosmetics and it went away. No more big brand cosmetics for my daughter.

So maybe it's time to have a look at those cosmetics on your shelves and those anti aging skin care products sitting there. If they're big brand name products they may have some nasty ingredients in them that might be causing your problems with sensitive skin.

Use low allergenic laundry detergents too. There are many detergents that also contain ingredients that may cause skin reactions in people with all sorts of skin types. In particular wash sheets and pillow cases with low or non allergenic detergents. Rinse well and avoid any detergents, as well as skin care products and cosmetics, with fragrances.

Fragrances are also chemicals and can cause skin reactions for all skin types, including those with oily skin and healthy skin.

And if you do have problems with skin allergies, make sure you visit an allergy specialist, a good one can also point you to other products that can be causing problems.

What you need to do is to try out a range of low allergenic range of natural cosmetics and natural skin care products and find out how your skin reacts to these. You'll probably notice an immediate improvement.

And fortunately there are 2 excellent natural skin care and natural cosmetics companies that make fine products that will be perfect for many people with sensitive skin, and fortunately these are excellent skin care products and cosmetics as well, and price competitive.

They're priced competitively because they don't spend huge amounts on TV advertising and so keep their costs right down. They rely on their products to sell themselves once people have tried them.

And you'll find that those big brand name products are made down to a price rather than up to a standard.

So there's a good range of sensitive skin care tips. If you try these and don't find it works for you then consult a professional, but if you try these tips then your sensitive skin problems may well be gone.
