Top 5 Cleansers for Sensitive Skin
04:37
Slight red patches, dryness, blemishes and even some itchiness are all signs of skin sensitivity. Our skin barrier keeps things that irritate our skin out; however, in order for it to work at its optimum it must contain the right amount of moisture. Our skin is exposed to many things that can dry out the barrier such as weather conditions and central heating to name but a few. Once the barrier weakens things that should not get through the barrier do get through and cause the skin cells to react as they detect things that should not be there and this is what causes the skin reaction known as skin sensitivity.
It is crucial to choose the correct cleanser for your skin so it does not make your skin too dry. Avoid cleansers that contain sodium lauryl sulfate and ammonium laureth sulphate as they are very harsh and break the natural lipids in skin. This causes the skin to crack and allows moisture to seep through and irritants to seep in.
Here are 5 cleansers that are known for helping combat skin sensitivity:
- Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser is an extremely gentle gel/cream that combats skin sensitivity caused by pollution, climate, hormonal imbalance and irritating cosmetics. Cheryl Cole’s lush skin has a lot to do with her using this product too.
- Eucerin Ultra-Sensitive Soothing Cleansing Lotion is a super smooth and creamy lotion that is very gentle on sensitised skin and removes makeup and impurities effectively without leaving the skin feeling dry.
- Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm is free from mineral oils and although it looks like a thick, heavy wax in the jar, it is actually very lightweight, non-greasy and removes every spec of makeup from your skin and eyes without drying it out. Works for all skin types.
- Clarins Cleansing Milk with Gentian is a calming cleanser with a great texture that leaves the skin soft, fresh and clean. It thoroughly removes makeup whilst calming and soothing the skin. It also smells great.
- Elemis Sensitive Cleansing Wash cleanses skin effectively, yet is gentle enough for the most sensitive complexions. Thyme, German Chamomile and Lady’s mantle are well known for their anti-bacterial and soothing properties. Perfect for rehydrating sensitive skin.
No matter how sensitive your skin is it is essential that you cleanse your skin twice a day. Choosing the correct cleanser could be your first step in controlling your skin sensitivity.
