Looking for gentle products and following just the right skincare routine may take some trial and error. You may even become extra picky on the products you choose to apply on your skin. But don’t worry, we’re here to help you out and guide you on using the right products to make your skin feel comfortable.

In this article, we'll discuss common sensitive skin issues and provide tips for developing a gentle skincare routine using Physiogel products, available at MyPharma.

What Does Sensitive Skin Look Like?

Skin sensitivity can manifest in various ways which is why it can be challenging to find the right solution. Here are some sensitive skin issues that may look familiar:

1. Dryness and irritation: Sensitive skin often feels tight and itchy, with visible flakes and rough patches.
2. Redness on the nose area: This can be caused by irritation, inflammation, or even rosacea.
3. Acne and breakouts: Overly sensitive skin can react to harsh skincare products, leading to breakouts and inflammation.
4. Eczema and rosacea: These skin conditions can cause redness, itching, and discomfort.
5. Sun sensitivity: Sensitive skin is often more susceptible to sunburn and sun damage.

Tips for Developing a Gentle Skincare Routine

Though treating sensitive skin may seem complicated, it all comes down to choosing the right products. Look for ones that are clear of harsh ingredients like fragrance, alcohol, sulfates, and parabens. Some effective ingredients for normal skin like retinol (or retinoids), AHAs, and BHAs may also not be suitable for sensitive skin. So make sure you know what your skin’s comfort level is when it comes to these ingredients.

Here are some tips you want to keep in your back-pocket when you’re out shopping for skincare items.

The ideal facial wash is one that will clean your skin without leaving it feeling tight. Your main goal is to have a non-irritating product that will make your face feel fresh and supple. Keep your eyes peeled for hypoallergenic cleansers, but also look out for products that have hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin to maintain the skin’s moisture.

After washing your face, it’s also ideal to use a moisturizer to seal in moisture. Like your cleanser, you should also stay clear of harsh ingredients and consider products with soothing and barrier-enhancing ingredients. This combination will help with calming your skin and protect it from further irritation. Choosing oil-free formulas will also help provide hydration without leaving a greasy residue.

If you ask any skincare superfan, sunscreen is the absolute must-have in any skincare regimen. For sensitive skin, using sunscreen can save you from inflammation and redness while also preserving your skin’s barrier.

Most people with sensitive skin prefer a physical sunscreen, also known as a mineral sunscreen. These type of sunscreens contain filters like titanium dioxide or zinc dioxide as its active ingredients. These filters form a barrier on the skin that reflect the sun’s UV rays, protecting your skin in the process. Make sure to apply sunscreen regardless of the weather.

Sensitive skin requires extra care and attention, but with a gentle skincare routine, you can minimize irritation and discomfort. By following the tips we’ve shared and exploring products made for sensitive skin, you can embark on a healthier and happier skin journey.
