To go the extra mile only top-quality naturally produced cleansers, toners and moisturizers will make you stand out from all the others.
Now for Some Extra Care Tips
The right moisturizer, not too heavy not too light, can prevent excessive damage to sensitive skin from being exposed to the harmful rays of the sun. You can suffer from red burning skin by sitting on the beach or in your garden. Your moisturizer may have a sun block but if not try to apply a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 15 every time you walk in the sunshine. Never go out without it when the sun shines.
The sun can seriously damage your skin. Its ultraviolet rays, UVA and UVB cause skin cancer and sunburn respectively. Sunscreen will protect you against UVB and sunburn. It will not help against UVA unless it contains zinc oxide, that is, the white covering which sports people smear over their noses and foreheads when competing in very hot sunshine.
Scrubs can be very harsh on your skin and you need to be careful with the sensitive skin type. Your skin pores need to be kept clean and dead skin has to be removed. If your skin cannot take even the mildest scrubs do not use them.
Have you ever thought how often you use your hands. They are constantly touching, handling, holding and rubbing against all kinds of materials. In so doing they gather dust, dirt and a host of skin damaging matter. Your hands are infection carriers, so never touch your face with your hands until you have washed them.
Wash your face nightly before going to bed to remove dirt and grime. The environment today is full of pollutants and your face needs to be cleansed to get rid of them. For women, make-up should be cleaned off first before you wash and never go to bed with your make-up still on.
Facials are a great idea for any skin type but you can have a sensitive skin facial which can help your skin to ward off irritation and repair any injuries caused by the environment in which you live. Do yourself a favour and stop suffering.
