Introduction

Whether you’re sensitive or sensitized, having your skin react negatively to products is never fun. But there are some ways to manage your skin so that it doesn’t become irritated or turn red. Below are some tips on how you can tell if you’re experiencing sensitivity and what to do about it:

1. Check out your current products.  If you’re still using your trusty moisturizer and cleanser, there’s a good chance that it might trigger any redness or sensitivity you experience.

If you’re still using your trusty moisturizer and cleanser, there’s a good chance that it might trigger any redness or sensitivity you experience. The first step in creating an effective skincare routine is to check out the ingredients in the products you use most often. If they have any known allergens, preservatives, irritants, fragrances (which can cause irritation), alcohol or dyes (which can be irritating to many people), synthetics (like parabens), or even if they contain too much water for your skin type…it could be adding to the irritation problem!

It’s important to remember that everyone’s skin is different; what causes one person’s skin to break out may be completely fine for another person with different types of skin. This means that there isn’t one-size-fits-all advice when dealing with sensitive skin issues like redness – but luckily there are some general precautions we can take when looking at our skincare routine:

2. If your skin is sensitive or irritated, you will often see a difference in the tone of the skin after using a product that doesn’t agree with it.

• Skin tone can change based on health, diet, stress level and other factors. But if you feel like there’s something wrong with your complexion and your routine isn’t helping to fix it, taking note of how things are going may help determine what’s behind the problem.

3. Ever try leaving some of your old products out for a few days to see if the sensitivity returns?

If you’ve tried this in the past, I’m sure it has worked well for you. If not, don’t worry—it’s definitely worth another shot; I’ve found that leaving out an offending product for several days can be an excellent way to find out whether or not it’s causing my skin issues. (I also recommend writing down which products you’re using before and after each test.) For example, if my face breaks out during allergy season (and especially when I’m using something new), going back through my routine and eliminating common offenders like moisturizers with fragrance or acne-fighting ingredients from my routine helps clear things up again quickly.

4. Try another new product, but keep in mind that some people might be more sensitive to one brand than another.

If you’ve tried a new product and your skin is suddenly going haywire, it could be that you’re just allergic to that particular brand. That’s why it’s always a good idea to try different brands when you’re shopping for skincare products. You may find that one brand works better than another—or, at least, causes less irritation.

You may also want to look into the ingredients in your current products, especially if they contain ones that are known irritants; this way, you can make an informed decision about whether or not they’re actually causing your breakouts (or redness).

5. If you have eczema or rosacea, make sure that your skin condition isn’t an allergic reaction to any of the products you use regularly.

If you have rosacea or eczema, it’s important to know that these conditions can be caused by an allergic reaction to certain products. If you think that your skin condition may be caused by a product, try eliminating it from your routine for a few weeks and see if your symptoms improve.

If your symptoms don’t improve after a few weeks without the product, then it’s likely not the culprit behind your flare-ups. However, if they do clear up when you stop using that product—or even just one ingredient in the product—then there’s a good chance that it was causing an allergic reaction in the first place!

6. Dampen your skin with cool water on areas that are more sensitive before applying your skincare routine (e.g., wash off any makeup or makeup remover first).

• Dampen your skin with cool water on areas that are more sensitive before applying your skincare routine (e.g., wash off any makeup or makeup remover first).

This may help you to avoid irritation and keep the area around your eyes hydrated, which will make it less prone to flakiness or redness. You can use a soft cloth or cotton pad to wipe off the excess water, then move on to toner and moisturizer applications as usual.

If you’re still having issues after trying this tip out for a while, consider seeing a dermatologist who can give you more specific advice based on your unique needs; according to Dr. Lee, “some people will benefit from prescription creams that contain cortisone” in order to calm down irritated skin.[3]

Sensitivity is not something to be ashamed of and should not reflect on what makes you “unattractive.”

One thing that can be hard to deal with is having a sensitive skin, especially if you have a lot of it. You might think that being sensitive means you’re unattractive or unhealthy. But being sensitive does not mean anything negative about who you are as an individual, and there are many causes for sensitivity.

While everyone has different reactions to things, there are some ways to help with your sensitivity regardless of how much or little it affects your body:

• Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers
• Avoid harsh products (even those labeled “gentle”) like exfoliators, soaps and perfumes
• Eat healthy foods that aren’t processed or full of chemicals (the less ingredients on the label the better!)

Conclusion

We have covered a lot of information in this post, and it can be overwhelming for someone who isn’t accustomed to managing their skin well. The best thing you can do is take things one step at a time. Start by cleaning up your skincare routine and switching out any products that may cause irritation. Then add some new ones slowly, one at a time – making sure each new product works well with the others before adding anything else into the mix!
