SKIN SENSITIVE

SKIN SENSITIVE

Keeping your skin clean when its sensitive actually requires less work. According to American Academy of Dermatology, washing the face once a day should be enough for people with sensitive skin.

SENSITIVE SKIN: Be careful if you want to exfoliate---when you have sensitive skin, the exfoliation process can actually cause irritation as the scrubs and exfoliants tend to peel off and rub against delicate skin.

ACNE: Paying attention to the hair and beauty products we use is extremely important. Conditioners and heavy moisturizers can cause skin break-outs. An overactive thyroid can also cause a medical condition of increased acne which is similar to adolescent acne.

FOR THE LIPS: Just like our skin, protecting our lips from the sun's effects is just as important in the winter as it is in the summer. Dermatologists recommend year-round use of a lip balm with a broad spectrum SPF 30 to prevent chapped lips and guard against skin cancer.
