What routine for my sensitive skin?

Tightness, tingling, redness, burning sensation, hyperreactivity, telangiectasias… If you recognize yourself in this list, there is little doubt: you probably have sensitive skin.

It's not really a skin type, but rather a skin tendency. This means that the discomforts that characterize it can come and go, depending on the season (winter is often THE bad time for reactive skin), your environment, exposure to the sun, pollution, etc.

Paradoxically, sensitive skin is very greedy for cosmetics, but sometimes feels like it can no longer tolerate anything. This is why it is so important to offer them well-formulated products, if possible without perfume, alcohol or "stripping" surfactants. "Preservative-free" is very difficult to achieve, but there are a few rare solutions on the market.

Also, don't forget to watch your diet, which has a definite impact on the beauty and comfort of your skin. Limit your consumption of alcohol, coffee and spices. Finally, pay attention to the hardness of your water depending on the region where you live: your sensitive skin hates limescale...
