No doubt, you’ve heard that you have a skin type. You may think you have dry skin, oily skin, or combination skin. Many people suffer with sensitive skin. Symptoms of sensitive skin can vary from mild rashes, itching, acne, flakey skin to red patches appearing on your skin…

It’s important to note that your skin is the largest organ in the body, and whatever goes on your skin, goes in your body. Drug patches for pain, birth control, and tobacco cessation are just some examples of how your skin can absorb what is put on it.

If you have sensitive skin with signs and symptoms of skin problems such as itching, discoloration, pigmentation, and acne, it can be difficult and expensive to experiment with different brands. Instead of buying based on what’s written on the label, choose products based on safety and gentleness of ingredients.

Your skin is either healthy or not. For healthy skin follow the following tips:

•Minimize direct exposure to sun. Wear a hat and natural, safe sunscreen with zinc oxide.

•Use hydrating moisturizers free of salicylic acid and herbal extracts.

•Drink adequate amounts of water.

•Manage stress properly.

•Eat healthy foods and decrease amounts of sugar intake.

•Follow a simple cleansing routine with SLS free cleansers and soaps.

•A gentle exfoliating scrub can remove dead cells and help grow healthy cells.
