5 Ingredients To Avoid For Sensitive Skins

 5 Ingredients To Avoid For Sensitive Skins

Only people that LIVE in Malaysia WITH sensitive skins understand the pain of having sensitive skins, imagine yourself gone through dozens of skincare products thinking it's worth investing and in the end, it's a waste of your money and effort or worse, not only your skins conditions did not improve, it got worse – cracked skins, itchy, dry and redish.

Well I have done some read up and would like to share how you should avoid some ingredients that often used in most of the skincare products that is too harse for your sensitive skins.

#1: Avoid Glycolic acid, it is a member of alpha hydroxy acid family that's derived from citrus fruist, sugar canes and apples. It is very powerfyl exfoliater that unclogs pores and make your skin smooth and fimer, but it can be too harsh for sensitive skin. Try lactic acid instead, which is derived from sour milk and it is highly mositurizing, causes less irritation towards sensitive skins.

#2: Avoid chemical based sunscreen ingredients. Choose sunscreen that uses ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, don't use the typical sunscreen which are absorbed into the skin, those that made with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide stays on the skin's surface providing protection without introducing much irritation.

#3: Avoid Retinoids. These vitatmin A are one of the best ingredient to treat signs of premature aging and boost for smoother and healther skin, but they are often too strong for sensitive skin. Know yourself, opt for milder options instead of going too gung-ho for the treat.

#4: Avoid Benzoyl peroxide. Though this ingredient is effective for acne, it leaves skin looking worse than the acne blemishes. Try lower strength salicylic acid formula, you don't need very strong formula to get rid of your acne problem, just something that would gently unclog pores and smooth the skin, salicylic acid formula is great for anti-aging as well.

#5: The biggest no-no – avoid artificial fragrances or coloring at all cost. You really, really don't need complicated stuff when you are having sensitive skin, the more you use, the more you need to use to solve your problem. Look out for Fragrance Free products, it is often specified on the label.
