Sensitive Skin

Discover a calming moisturiser for sensitive skin

Sensitive skin can experience dryness, itchiness, redness and other uncomfortable symptoms. Selecting a moisturiser for sensitive skin specifically formulated to nourish and protect, especially from everyday environmental factors and common irritants, can help.

Healthylife offers a curated range of quality sensitive skin moisturisers, including face moisturisers for sensitive skin. These products are made with gentle and hydrating ingredients to support your skin’s natural glow and keep it feeling comfortable and hydrated.

What are some of the dos and don’ts of sensitive skin?

Always use gentle, fragrance-free skincare products and moisturisers for dry and sensitive skin. These products are specifically formulated for sensitive skin types. Before using a new product, it’s important to test it on a small area of skin before full use to ensure no irritation. It’s also important to read the label and follow the directions for use.

When buying skincare products for sensitive skin, check the ingredients list for things like alcohol, strong fragrances and artificial dyes. These all have the potential to irritate sensitive skin. Also, avoid abrasive exfoliants and hot water. These may strip your skin of natural oils and increase irritation. 

What are the different types of sensitive skin moisturisers?

Not all sensitive skin is the same, so not all sensitive skin moisturisers are the same. You’ll find moisturisers for sensitive skin that target a range of different skin concerns. For example, hydrating moisturisers are typically lightweight, while barrier repair creams may be heavier and contain added ingredients like ceramides to protect the skin’s natural barrier.

Some moisturisers for sensitive skin may contain ingredients to help calm irritated skin. Other formulations are designed for those prone to allergies, while oil-free formulations may help to manage acne symptoms.

How does using the right moisturiser help sensitive skin?

In sensitive skin, the function of the skin barrier is often compromised. The right face moisturiser for sensitive skin may help by locking in moisture and reinforcing the skin’s barrier. This may reduce dryness, irritation and susceptibility to environmental factors like pollutants or harsh weather. 

Using a product tailored for sensitivity may help the skin to remain hydrated and calm without irritation.

What is the best way to choose a sensitive skin moisturiser?

The first step in choosing the right moisturiser for your skin is to identify the needs of your skin and specific triggers of your sensitivity. A moisturiser for dry and sensitive skin can be quite different to a moisturiser for sensitive skin and acne symptoms. 

Then, look for products labelled as fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, or dermatologically tested for sensitive skin and that contain ingredients that may be gentle on sensitive skin, such as ceramides and hyaluronic acid. It’s important to consult your healthcare professional for individual advice and support in choosing the right product for you.
