Face Masks That Are Meant For Sensitive Skin

Skin can become overly oily or dry, flakey, red, itchy, bumpy, blotchy, stinging, burning, and dehydrated. Sensitive skin is also prone to inflammation including rosacea, eczema, or acne. It is critical for those with sensitive skin to choose skincare that reduces inflammation. But first, it’s important to know whether your skin is truly sensitive or if you have sensitized skin. Sensitized skin is another skin condition that people mistake for true sensitivity because the symptoms can be the same, What differentiates it is that it has nothing to do with genetics, but is brought on by environmental factors, diet, ingredient allergies, and overuse/misuse of harsh skincare products. It’s always best to check with your derm, but a few of the most common indicators that you have sensitive skin are dryness and flaking, general irritation, and rashes that show up after using an irritating product or skincare ingredient. Many medical-grade skincare lines can be irritating because of high-powered active ingredients that can have inflammatory side effects. Luckily for everyone with sensitive skin out there, there’s a host of ingredients that won’t stress out your complexion. Ingredients with calming, hydrating, and repairing properties to protect and heal are best for sensitive skin.
In order to prevent irritated skin, steer clear of anything with “fragrance, dyes, and highly abrasive products. Masks that are designed to exfoliate, reduce wrinkles, or clear acne may have ingredients that are especially irritating for those with sensitive skin.
