Regular use of moisturizer is a “therapeutic cornerstone for sensitive skin management.” Mikailov says. As you go about choosing one. There are a few key things you need to look for, particularly when it comes to the ingredient list body.
“In general, moisturizers should be free of dyes, fragrances and scents.” Mikailov says. “The list of ingredients should be minimal — ideally under 10.”
Here are a few key steps to picking the right formula for your skin:UFABET
Understand the three basic categories of moisturizer.
Moisturizers can be categorized into three main types:
- humectants, which bind water to the skin
- occlusive, which create a physical barrier on the skin
- emollients, which help restore the skin barrier
Ideally, Mikailov says that sensitive skin moisturizers should overlap between an emollient. And an occlusive in order to provide necessary hydration and prevent outside elements from penetrating the skin. He says that a moisturizer with all three components would also work, but these formulations tend to have many more ingredients.
Look for sensitive skin-friendly keywords
When reading labels, check for the words “noncomedogenic” and “hypoallergenic,” as these terms denote products that are generally safer for sensitive skin.
Noncomedogenic means that the product is oil-free but won’t strip your skin of moisture. Hypoallergenic means that the product typically doesn’t cause allergic reactions. It’s important to note, however, that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t require cosmetic manufacturers to provide hard data to prove any product’s claims.
