Caring For A Sensitive Skin

A sensitive skin is known as a skin that is easily irritated. For example, if you are constantly having itchy skin, stingling of skin then you may have a sensitive skin. A sensitive skin may have symptoms like eczema, psoriasis, itchiness, swellings and rashes. This type of skin demand extra care for the skin.
There are habit you need to incorporate if you have a sensitive skin and there are certain habit to avoid if you have a sensitive skin.

Do's of caring for a sensitive skin:

Find out the cause of the sensitivity on your skin. You do this by always keeping a record of your skin. When there's is change whatsoever write it down.
Choose carefully your cosmetics products like cleansers, moisturizers, hair products and even makeup products.
Always use a deep moisturizer on your skin. Many sensitive skin are dry skin so always be moisturizing the skin with a good moisturizer like coconut oil, almond oil, argan oil. You can also add glycerin in your body lotions to serve as a great moisturizer.
The food you take in counts. If you incorporate a healthy diet, there's no way your body won't be healthy. Most skin conditions are caused by what we are putting in the body. Adding lemon drink to your diet is great way of flushing toxic from the body.
Exfoliate often like once or twice a week or twice a month. Make it a point to incorporate a healthy exfoliation lifestyle. This will reveal a healthy and glowing skin by removing dry skin cells from the body.
Exercise daily.
Sunscreens protect skin from the UV rays. Make it a daily lifestyle that whether it's cloudy, cold or sunny you will use sunscreens.
Rosewater is a toner that restores the skin's natural pH balance. It also help reduce acne and breakouts.
Using home remedies like cucumbers, milk, green tea, honey, olive oil will help sensitive skin a great deal.

Dont's of caring for a sensitive skin

Don't be careless with what you put on your skin. For example
Stay away from the sun. If you want vitamins D, you will get some from the food you are eating or supplements.
Don't use hot water to wash your skin.
Stay away from alcohol and smoking

I believe taking extra care of your skin will reduce the problems that arises with skin sensitivity.

Which Should I Use First Sunscreen or Moisturizer!

This is one of the many questions that's been asked everyday when it comes to skincare. Whether to use sunscreen first or moisturizer first. In my opinion it's better to get a sunscreen with antioxidants so that it can protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun and at the same time moisturizing you skin. This is what I do during daytime, I apply my sunscreen rich with antioxidants then at nighttime I just use a plain moisturizer. Firstly before you want to know when to apply sunscreen, you should find out the type of sunscreen you are using. There are two types of sunscreens. We have the chemical and the physical. The chemical sunscreen is composed of oxybenzone or avobenzone. The physical sunscreen is made of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. "A Chemical sunscreen should go on clean, bare skin first" says Laurie Polis, MD, director of Soho Skin and Laser Dermatology in New York City[source- Oprah. com ].

What Are Moles? And How Should You Treat Them?

There are several women who love their moles and I'm one of them because they are beautifully placed. Meanwhile there are others who are not pleased with their moles because they are too much or cancerous. According to Mayo Clinic, "moles are a common type of growth on the skin. They often appear as small dark brown spots and are caused by clusters of pigmented cells. Moles generally appear during childhood and adolescence. Most people have 10 to 45 moles, almost all which appear before age 40. Some moles may fade as you age". Moles may be present during birth and this has nothing to do with sun, it's just genetics.

People who are living in...
