Taking Care Of Your Sensitive Skin This Spring

We’ve made it spring! And although we are all doing our part by staying in isolation and practising social distancing, it’s still important to take care of your skin. If you have sensitive skin, your complexion may need it now more than ever, so a little extra pampering may be in order. Spring is seen as the month for renewal, so it’s the perfect time to revamp your skincare routine and give it the TLC that is needed.

Before diving into a sensitive skin routine though, you need to determine whether you actually do have sensitive skin. Some skin types can be very clear to determine but sensitive skin is difficult. There certainly isn’t a definitive checklist to read from so it can be difficult to pinpoint. There are a few things that you should keep your eye for though. Think about how your skin feels after using certain products, does it ever become blotchy, itchy or sore? I this is the case then chances are you have sensitive skin and need to take the time to think about your routine a little more. 

Let’s have a look at some of the ways you can help: 

Make Use Of Micellar Water 

Although this has been seen as a bit of a fad by some people, it has proven extremely effective for people with sensitive skin. Stay away from soap cleansers and try using something softer that offers a no-rinse cleansing solution. Micellar water has grown in popularity for sensitive skin users, for the simple fact that it is one of the easiest and oftest ways you can cleanse your skin without irritation. 

Moisturise

Rule number two is to never skimp on moisturiser. Although it may take you a little while to find the right one for your skin when you have sensitive skin you shouldn’t skip this step in your routine. Try using lightweight and natural products as you would find at Grahams Natural. The right moisturizer can help to restore, replenish and give a natural barrier to your skin. These ultimately help to reduce signs of fatigue, fine lines and wrinkles. If you show any signs of irritation from a moisturizer, try using a different one instead. Sometimes with sensitive skin, it’s all about trial and error.

Face Masks 

If now wasn’t the perfect time to do a face mask or two then when is? Yes, we may all be spending more time at home but let’s put it to use. Sometimes sensitive skin needs a little extra care and attention and a perfect way of doing this are treating yourself to a facemask. Ok, so you may have had bad experiences with face masks in the past but it’s about finding the right one for your skin. Clay masks tend to be very calm and good for sensitive skin so maybe start with a clay-based mask?
