Sensitive skin is of particular concern for most people, regardless of skin type. There are four skin types; dry, normal, combination, and oily. On the other hand, sensitivity is a specific skin condition rather than a skin type. That means any skin type may experience sensitivity. It could be a chronic or temporary condition due to weather, harsh chemicals, or medicines.
Whether chronic or temporary, selecting the right products for this skin condition is of utmost importance for the skin’s health. Apart from sensitivity, some people suffer from rosacea and damaged skin barrier. However, sensitivity, rosacea, and damaged skin barrier have similar needs in skincare; minimal skincare routine with unique ingredients targeting inflammatory responses of the skin.
Back to Basics
The first step toward caring for sensitive, rosacea-prone skin is to switch to a minimal skincare routine consisting of several products. That is because incorporating too many products into skincare increases the chances of loading skin with potential irritants.
Each product addition increases the number of chemicals the skin encounters with. In addition, different combinations of ingredients may drive sensitivity up in just seconds. Hence, include only essentials in your skincare routine: oil-based cleansers, water-based cleansers, moisturizers, and SPF.
The second important point is to select products with specific ingredients that work on sensitive skin’s particular needs. The first prominent concern for sensitivity or rosacea-prone skin is controlling redness. For example, Niacinimide, also known as vitamin B3, helps to soothe redness and supports healthy barrier function. It is a multipurpose superstar ingredient that also works as a powerful antioxidant reducing environmental damage to sensitive skin. Another type of ingredient to look for in the formulation is moisture boosters. These ingredients increase the moisture levels of the epidermis, creating an ideal environment for the skin to function properly.
So ingredients that work on inflammation and barrier repair will significantly help sensitive, rosacea-prone skin with a weak barrier function.
