Dry skin is quite often sensitive too, which just makes it more difficult to deal with. Dry sensitive skin is tight because of the deficiency of natural oils and has a tendency to develop small expression lines that will eventually evolve into wrinkles. Furthermore, this kind of skin makes one more exposed to allergic reactions, rashes, capillaries breaking and sudden flushes. Therefore, the taking care of dry sensitive skin proves quite a challenge at times. It is worth mentioning the fact that it affects people regardless of age, colour or gender.

You have to follow rigorous steps in your choice of cleansing, moisturising and make up products when you have dry sensitive skin to care for. First of all, you need to reduce the amount of products you put on your face. The fact is, the more chemicals you come into contact with, the bigger the chance of developing rashes. The products ought to be fragrance-free and hypo-allergenic so that you don’t get red, irritation blotches. Blusher and foundation can pose some difficulties for dry sensitive skin.

Try not to put on too much make-up in order to allow the skin to breathe properly. When shopping for make up, other than the hypo-allergenic label, you should also make sure that they are oil free. The foundation or the blusher should be water-based because they don’t clog your pores. Oil-absorbing foundations are not recommended for dry sensitive skin, because they will make your epidermis even drier.

It is also not to be recommended that you use exfoliants or astringent products on dry sensitive skin because they could irritate the thin upper layers of skin. The same thing has to be said in relation to washing - too frequent washing of the face means removing the natural oils that oil the skin, which will produce accelerated dryness.

Furthermore, the day-time moisturiser ought to have a sun-protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 in it. However, however much you may enjoy sunbathing, dry sensitive skin doesn’t really permit you to enjoy such outdoor pleasures.

If you have dry sensitive skin, don’t expose it to the sun just to tan it, because you will only achieve premature ageing and possibly even quite serious health issues. And last but not least, a warning must be signalled that you should change some of your cosmetic products for other ones along the lines mentioned above.

If you decide to change to a different skincare brand, it is important to test the product on a small patch of skin in order to check whether it provokes any allergic reactions.
