Dry Sensitive Facial Skin

View:

The skin on your face is exposed to a barrage of toxins and environmental damage on a daily basis. It must withstand pollution, ultraviolet rays, wind, and debris, as well as the harmful chemicals in 99% of all skin care products and cosmetics. The skin on your face is the most delicate skin on your body. Therefore there are many specialty products that have been developed specifically for your facial skin. It can be difficult to decipher which products perform which tasks, and which products would work the best with your skin type. Here's a primer on the most common facial products available.

A Word About Facial Skin
Before you can select the facial skin care products that would work best for you, you need to determine your skin type. Basically, facial skin is categorized as either normal, oily, dry, sensitive, or combination. If you've never had problems with oily skin or dry skin, it's likely that you have 'normal' skin. The pores of normal skin are small and the overall skin tone is even. Oily skin, on the other hand results in medium to large pores that are prone to blockage and breakouts. Oily skin is usually slightly too moderately greasy and is thicker and firmer than normal skin. Dry skin feels tight and itchy, especially in the winter. It is thinner than normal skin and may even be slightly rough to the touch. People with sensitive skin are usually the ones who actually know their skin type. Sensitive skin is prone to rashes and breakouts from any kind of irritants such as sun, perfumes, shaving cream, temperature extremes, and even soap. Avoid products with dyes, per!

fumes, or unnecessary chemical ingredients in all skin conditions. As its name implies, combination skin has both dry and oily patches. Most commonly, combination skin exhibits an oily 'T-Zone' (forehead, nose and chin) with dry skin on the cheeks and around the eyes.

Facial Skin Care Products

Skin Toners: Skin toners offer extra cleaning and help to restore the pH balance of your facial skin. However, these products can be quite drying, so if you have dry or sensitive skin, you will not need to use a skin toner.

Eye Creams: Eye creams are specifically made to pamper the delicate skin under and around the eyes. They help to plump and tighten under eye skin and they can reduce fine lines and wrinkles (like crows feet) that develop around the eyes. I recommend 'Parfait Visage'

Sunscreen: Sunscreen is the most important facial skin care product for the health and protection of your skin. The sun's rays, even in small amounts can be very damaging to the skin on your face. Protect it with a natural sunscreen of at least an SPF 15 everyday.

AHAs: Alpah Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) work wonders at smoothing out the texture of skin and reducing the visibility of fine lines. These products work by sloughing off dead skin cells to unblock and cleanse pores, to improve oily skin or acne, and to improve skin condition in general. The extent of exfoliation that a facial skin care product is capable of depends on the type and concentration of the AHA, its pH (acidity), and other ingredients in the product.

Dry Sensitive Facial Skin

Believe it or not, men do have the same skin issue as women. Women usually get the limelight on facial products and care but men tend to shy away from this matter. Men also do get wrinkles and pimples, dry skin and oily skin, cancer and many of them suffer with pimples all their life. Nowadays, men skin care is gaining more attention from various parties regarding men skin care, but how can men find the best solution for them.

Men and women have different skin but how can we differentiate between them? Men do not spend much money on cosmetics, facial wash but shave more than women. There are more products for women but there are some for men. However, the publicity of skin care products for men is insignificant compared to women's.

Here are some good tips that men can follow to ensure good and healthy face. Use facial cleanser once in the morning and once in the evening, try to avoid soap as it can make your skin dry. When shaving, try using mild shaving cream or gel, shave at least 1-3 times a week. Breakouts should be treated with antibacterial products, use sunscreen products with SPF 15 if you are going out on the sun and use moisturizer on dry skin area.

Since men usually shave more then women, but it is not often to encounter problems like ingrown hairs, razor burn or irritation from shaving. Shaving products should not sting actually. When we are shaving hairs off our face, sometimes we tend to shave off the skin without noticing. This is bad as our skin will be irritated.

If you do experience any rash, most likely it is due to the products that you have used before, during or after shaving. Most of the products contain ingredients that irritate the skin such as alcohol, menthol, camphor and peppermint. If one is still facing problems as such, it's time to move on to a new and different shaving product. Shaving cream or gels that contains emollient ingredients is suitable because it keeps the skin smooth and mosturized. Furthermore, look for ingredients that have aloe, silicone or allantoin which is listed the first five ingredients in shaving products. Products which is ?alcohol free? is also important as it will not be irritate the skin while shaving.

Men's skin is sensitive thus men should be more careful while choosing products for their face and take good care. Hopefully in the future, there will be more skin care products for men with different type of skins.
