Sensitive skin

A natural solution for everyday skincare: choose the natural face cream that best suits your skin!

MANY OF US HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SENSITIVE SKIN AS IT CAN APPEAR AT ANY AGE, EVEN AFTER GIVING BIRTH OR IT CAN ALSO DEVELOP WITH AGING. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT EXACTLY IS SENSITIVE SKIN AND HOW TO TAKE CARE OF IT.

Sensitive skin, which is a skin problem and not a skin type, can appear not only on the face, but also all over the body, and even on the scalp as well. When the defense barrier of skin is so weakened that it can not fight bacteria, chemicals, allergens, and contamination, it may result in sensitive skin.

Skin reactions, such as itching, scaling, and rashes are unpleasant, usually aesthetically disturbing, and sometimes may appear suddenly resulting in discomfort.

WHY IS OUR SKIN SENSITIVE?

Skin is the largest organ covering our body. The upper layer of skin is called stratum corneum (horny layer) and has an important barrier function which works properly if it is in great health. Stratum corneum is like a shield ensuring keeping a healthy skin flora and regulating peeling. When this layer weakens, the skin becomes defenseless against bacteria, contamination, and chemicals. The imbalance of skin defense may result in dehydrated and inelastic skin.

In addition to external causes, internal or mental problems can contribute to developing sensitive skin; frequent or chronic stress can weaken the skin’s natural barrier function.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF SENSITIVE SKIN?

Scaling, itching, burning, skin tightness, hives, rashes, coarse texture – these symptoms can be easily mistaken for dry skin, that’s why consulting a dermatologist is especially important. It’s important to know that these symptoms may not appear all at once. Hormonal imbalance during pregnancy may cause dehydrated skin, and sensitive skin may appear with aging. The skin of babies and children is also worth mentioning as their skin is much thinner than that of adults’, and their skin’s barrier function is not yet fully developed, their skin tend to be more irritated and inflammed and thus need more attention.

WHAT CAN TRIGGER SENSITIVITY?

Besides pregnancy and aging, several other things can trigger skin sensitivity, including genetics, weather (changing of temperature), too alkaline soap, excessive use of detergent, shower gel, shampoo, and certain drugs. Stress, not drinking enough water, and eating an unhealthy diet can also contribute to developing sensitive skin.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF SENSITIVE SKIN

If you are certain that you have sensitive skin, it is best to build a minimalist skin care routine. Use less products for cleansing and make-up, and also choose products that have less ingredients in them. Make sure that the products you use are meant for sensitive skin.

  • Avoid artifical fragnance.
  • Avoid skin care products containing alcohol.
  • Avoid essential oils.
  • Avoid harsh-grained scrubs.
  • Look for hypoallergenic formulas.
  • Opt for products with high antioxidant content.
  • Look for skin-calming ingredients (e.g. allantoin, Vitamin E, green tea)

 

SCHÜSSLER SKIN CARE ROUTINE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

  1. It is best for sensitive skin to build the most gentle cleansing routine. Try Schüssler Micellar Cleansing Water containing Schuessler’s mineral salt No.8 which regulates skin’s water balance. Our micellar water contains 100% natural ingredients, is hypoallergenic, and fragrance-free so your sensitive skin won’t be irritated. You don’t need water for this product as it perfectly cleanses your skin without water. Contains bio hamamelis water which has skin-calming and pore-tightening effects.
  2. When it comes to day time skin care routine, moisturize after cleaning your face. This is an important step as creams provide extra protection against environmental damage for skin besides nurturing and moisturizing it. Schüssler No.3 Facial Cream was created especially for treating sensitive and red skin. Containing Schuessler’s mineral salt No.3 Ferrum Phosphoricum, also known as ’the first aid salt’. It soothes sensitive, irritated skin and it has oxigenizing effect that may promote skin metabolism. It is beneficial for treating red skin. This cream fights environmental damages such as sunburn, red skin caused by hives, insects or hair removal. Use this cream to restore the natural and healthy state of damaged skin.
  3. Wrinkles caused by dry skin can be more visible due to the delicate and thin skin around the eyes which is prone to dehydration and loosing tightness. This area contains less collagen and elastic fibers that can keep elasticity and firmness of skin. Schüssler Age Protection Eye Cream is designed specifically for this area and contains mineral salt No.10 Natrium Sulfuricum that acts as a natural diuretic and helps reduce swelling around the eyes and bags under the eyes in the morning. Mineral salt No.11 (Silicea) is also known as the ’Beauty salt’ as it boosts the skin’s natural collagen production and hydrates and tightens skin on the tissue levels. The product contains an additional, special tightening ingredient, the EPS Seafill. EPS Seafill is a marine algae extract which has clinically-proven deep wrinkle reducing effects by boosting collagen and elastin production. With hypoallergenic scent to care for sensitive skin.
  4. Let’s not forget about sun protection, which is obligatory from spring to autumn, but also necessary when skiing in the winter. Sensitive skin needs extra protection from scorching and severely damaging sun rays. Schüssler Natural Sun Cream is a sunscreen with physical protection especially designed for sensitive skin. Physical sunscreen is highly recommended for those suffering from rosacea or extremely sensitive skin, and it is the only option for those who are allergic to chemical sunscreen.

It contains No.8 Schuessler’s mineral salt that can restore skin’s water balance thus providing long-lasting hydration.
