Tips for caring for sensitive skin

Ever lamented the fact that your skin reacts adversely to changes in diet, changes in facial wash brands or even changes in the weather? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it’s clear that you have sensitive skin. Having sensitive skin isn’t the end of all your dreams to have well-complexioned, smooth skin; rather, it just requires a little more effort on your part to ensure that your skin gets the best care possible.

Firstly, its is important to understand what sensitive skin is. There isn’t particular qualities or reactions that sensitive skin produce, because every one has differing sensitivities to chemicals, heat or weather conditions. The key is to understand what your skin is sensitive to, and then taking the right steps towards caring for your skin. If you notice that using certain products cause your skin to flare up, turn blotchy or even cause itchiness, then its time to take note of these products and ensure that you avoid them in the future.

There are several tips that people with sensitive skin can look out for, because frankly speaking, we don’t often know what exactly our skin is sensitive towards until we actually try it and get a rash, and at which point, it is far too late. Firstly, using natural based beauty products ensures minimal chemical additives and thus less reactive material for your skin. Secondly, if using artificially made beauty products, look out for products with special labels, to ensure the best for your sensitive skin. Lastly, take care to avoid irritants to ensure that your skin does not flare up as often.

Natural Products

You are what you eat, or at least in this case, what you eat results in what you are. Food allergies, which commonly include seafood, peanuts, or spicy foods, often result in blotchy or red skin. So if you notice that when eating these food products you begin to feel itchy, stop eating immediately! The itchiness or redness that results from eating food products that you are allergic to can last anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days, so while it may seem a waste to put aside your favorite food in the short run, it works out for the best over the long term.

Keeping yourself well-hydrated is another key point for taking care of sensitive skin, because if you are well hydrated, your skin would be healthier and hence better able to heal triggered reactions or to resist the effects of chemicals that may make your skin red or itchy.

Must have hair care products

There are several “must have hair care products” that my hair just could not survive without, but before I let you in on my little hair care secrets, let me give you a brief history of my hair. I am someone who likes to change my hair colour on a regular basis. When I see a celebrity in a magazine or on television it makes me long for that particular hair colour. I love the feeling that a new hair colour can evoke within me. My natural hair colour is a very dark brown, which I like, but quickly bores me.

I have always wanted hair with multi tones and highlights-Jennifer Aniston‘s hair colour being my all-time dream hair colour, but it is surprisingly difficult to achieve her hair colour. This past three months alone I have gone from black hair, to medium brown, to very bright (somewhat luminous) blonde. I am currently a dark blonde hair colour and am considering scattering a few blonde highlights throughout the front of my hair – just to liven it up a little. My aim is to look as “naturally” blonde as possible, especially now with summer on its way, I would like to lighten it up.

You must be thinking that my hair is in horrendous condition, maybe even on the verge of falling out, but I can assure you that it is in good condition. I have always taken care of my hair. I have bought very inexpensive hair care products to the most expensive hair care products on the market, and I can advise you that the best hair care products are definitely the inexpensive products.

I am someone who is a bit of a hair care product “junkie”. I used to spend hours at the weekend just reading the labels on the back of bottles of shampoo and conditioner, comparing the expensive and inexpensive brands. My research revealed to me that the number one ingredient listed on all shampoos and conditioners was “aqua”, in other words “water”. I asked myself why I should pay exorbitant prices for water, and I decided that I would start spending my money on the inexpensive brands. However, I would recommend sticking to fairly well known brand names.

My “must have” every day shampoo and conditioner is any from the Timotei range. They are very gentle on the scalp and hair and smell good too. My all-time “must have” hair care product is VO5 Hot Oil Conditioner. It is a little miracle in a tube. You just pop it in a cup of warm water, wait a few minutes, then smooth it on to your hair, wait another minute and shampoo and condition as usual. You will notice the difference in your hair almost immediately.

I hope my recommendations will have helped you achieve healthier hair, just remember not to buy into the marketing and advertising hype of the more expensive hair care brands.
