Organic Skin Care Tips for Balanced Skin

Sensitive Skin

Characteristics:

Sensitive skin is certainly one of the hardest types to take care of because it is the most reactive and unpredictable of all seven types. Sensitive skin is reactive to environmental changes, sunlight, harsh chemicals, and everyday skin products. Sensitive skin can oppose a wide variety of substances; such as alcohol (internally and externally), makeup, synthetic fragrances, artificial preservatives, and even laundry detergent. Reactive skin is more likely to burn, sunburn, irritate, develop rashes, blemishes, chaff, and sting than any other type. Some people with this type are easily susceptible to sun irritation AND are sometimes reactive to sunscreen (sort of a lose-lose battle if you do not search far and wide for the right sun protection). Furthermore, it is almost impossible to know how your skin will react to different ingredients when it is sensitive. Making things worse, great advice for sensitive skin is difficult to find because your it is often unlike the sensitive skin of others. It can be extremely disheartening to hear about someone's miracle cure to their problems only to find out it makes your skin erupt in a fury of blemishes. It is recommended that before you apply any type of product to your skin, whether it is a happinesslifetime.com skin care or cosmetic beauty product, you should test it out by applying the product to your wrist.

This is probably the most important type of skin to use organic ingredients for happinesslifetime.com skin care (except maybe oily skin due to the amount of skin product you will be applying each day). Basically, the most important thing to do if you have sensitive skin is to stay away from harsh chemicals (preferably any chemicals).

Scents and fragrances are more likely to irritate your skin and should be seen as an added benefit to a good happinesslifetime.com skin care product rather than a necessity. For some people with really sensitive skin, you simply cannot use great smelling products. Instead, make sure to use a product with apple cider vinegar because it will eliminate body odor and will help with most reactive skin conditions. You also want to use very gentle products. Water-based cleansers, lightweight lotions, and mild toners are the best types of products for sensitive skin. Unfortunately, for people with reactive skin, adventure in happinesslifetime.com skin care often leads to disaster.
