Are you battling with red, inflamed & irritated sensitive skin? Are green concealer & colour correctors everyday necessities in your makeup routine? Does every new skincare product you try cause a reaction on your face? Well fear not, I am here to provide a solution for your red, sensitive skin woes!
Let’s break this down a lil more...
The reactivity of sensitive skin to skin care products can be attributed to various factors, and it's often a complex interplay of individual skin characteristics and the composition of the products used. Here are some of the reasons for adverse reactions to certain skincare products:
1. Fragrances
Fragrances are a common culprit for skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. Fragrance ingredients can be potent and may cause allergic reactions or irritate the skin.
2. Alcohol
Some skincare products contain alcohol, which can be drying and irritating to the skin. It can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to increased sensitivity and redness.
3. Certain Preservatives
Certain preservatives, such as parabens and formaldehyde-releasing agents, are known skin irritants and can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
4. Harsh Chemicals
Skincare products that contain harsh chemicals, such as sulphates or certain acids, can be abrasive and irritating to sensitive skin.
5. Allergens
Skincare products may contain common allergens, such as certain plant extracts or essential oils, which can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive-skinned individuals.
6. pH Imbalance
Skincare products that disrupt the natural pH balance of the skin can lead to irritation and sensitivity.
Now this may sound a little overwhelming, but let me put you onto the natural sensitive skin solution, the herbs & botanicals that are here to soothe and calm sensitive skin to help you achieve your best complexion yet!
Mangosteen
Mangosteen is rich in antioxidants, particularly xanthones, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. Antioxidants are beneficial for overall skin health and contribute to reducing sensitivity.
Borage Oil and Evening Primrose Oil
These oils are high in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid. GLA has anti-inflammatory properties and contributes to maintaining healthy skin by supporting the skin's natural barrier function.
Maqui Berry
Maqui berry is rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation, a huge benefit for those of us with sensitive skin.
Olive Leaf Extract
Olive leaf extract contains compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It contributes to overall skin health and helps to reduce sensitivity.
Zinc and Selenium
Zinc and selenium are essential minerals that play a role in skin health. Zinc, in particular, is involved in wound healing and maintaining the skin's integrity. Selenium has antioxidant properties that improve the skin barrier and reduce sensitivity.
