Do You Suffer From Sensitive Skin? Here's What You Do.

By Peter Albertonach

If you've got sensitive skin it might be getting you down. If so I've got some sensitive skin care tips that I can share with you.

Because some people don't have sensitive skin and some people do have sensitive skin. And if it's you that has sensitive skin you might need to.

All that annoying blotchiness, redness, inflammation and itchiness can often be controlled.

Of course some people have a skin condition that may need professional care from a dermatologist. But for many getting rid of those sensitive skin symptoms can be quite simple, so why not try these first.

So if you suffer then the first thing you need to do is to examine all those creams, blushes, foundations, moisturizers and so on that you use now, because it can often be those anti aging skincare products and cosmetics and more that are causing the problem.

I write extensively about the nasty ingredients that are found in many big brand name cosmetics and skin care products on my website.

Ingredients like parabens, which are used extensively in big brand skin care products as a preservative, can be dangerous. For example the cosmetics database lists 2 parabens (parabens refers to a group of chemicals, not one) as, on a scale of 1 - 10 of hazard, as being at least a 7 or an 8. Ie, in their words, high hazard.

And a chemical like a paraben can itself cause skin reactions. So, ironically, the very products that you are using may well be causing your skin problems. Maybe or maybe not, but it's worth finding out.

Many big brand cosmetics and skin care products include similar or the same ingredients, and you may well find that if you change your cosmetic brand to a natural non allergenic cosmetic brand many, or all, of your sensitive skin problems go away.

And the first time I came across this it was a personal experience. My 8 year old daughter had her first ballet concert coming up and she got made up for it, as you do.

Within a short time her face had broken out in a rash and we removed the cosmetics and it went away. No more big brand cosmetics for my daughter.

So have a good look at your cosmetics and skin care products and if they're big brand name products from your local store then the chances are that they have some nasty ingredients in them and that itself could be causing sensitive skin care problems.

And here's another tip. Use low allergenic laundry detergents because if you've got your face on a pillow washed in regular detergent then that may also cause dry skin and sensitive skin care problems. And make sure you rinse everything well. Oh, and avoid those with fragrances, they too can cause problems for those with sensitive skin.

And even for people with oily or healthy skin fragrances can cause problems.

And if you have specific skin allergy problems a good allergy specialist can also find out if there are any other products that you could be using that are also causing problems.

You need to try out a range of natural cosmetics and natural skin care products that may well fix your sensitive skin problem for you, if not then you need to keep looking.

Luckily it also turns out that the companies that make the best natural cosmetics and natural anti aging skin care products also make the best products. They are small niche companies making excellent products, and at very competitive prices too.

And the reason why the prices are competitive is because these companies don't spend huge amounts on TV advertising, in fact they don't advertise at all. So their costs are way lower. And they rely on their products selling themselves because they work so well.

Most of those big brand name products that you might be buying now will do very little and are made down to a price.

So there's a few things for you to do if you have sensitive skin and are looking for some good sensitive skin care tips. If these don't work then try consulting an expert like a dermatologist, but for many people with skin problems just doing these things will clear up those nasty rashes and blotches and redness and itchiness.
