Sensitive skin

<What precautions should be taken to relieve sensitive, intolerant skin?>

 

Consult your dermatologist so he/she can identify what factors are triggering or aggravating the cutaneous reaction.

Wash your face with a very high tolerance soothing hygiene product: containing no perfume, no preservatives and no surfactants.

Dry your face with the utmost care.

Once or twice a day gently apply a very high tolerance skin care product (containing no perfume, no preservative and no surfactants) to combat the inflammatory reaction.

Once or twice a week gently apply an intensive hydrating product (mask).

Avoid applying anti-ageing products, as the active ingredients they generally contain (fruit acids, vitamin A, retinol) can cause irritation.

Avoid dermatological operations (face peels, dermabrasions, laser-abrasions, ) and particularly surgical operations (face lifts, ...).

Remain vigilant. Limit your exposure to the sun or cold, and your consumption of hot liquids. Also beware of certain sedatives.
