Sensitive Skin Care: Ways to Soothe Aging Skin

Before we get too involved in the topic, how about we have a general overview of the different types of skin. There are three basic types of skin:

*dry skin

*combination skin

*oily skin

It is quite easy to determine your skin type. Simply cleanse your face and do not apply moisturizer. Wait one hour and blot different parts of your skin with a tissue.

People with dry skin won’t leave behind any traces of oil on the tissue. Oily skin will leave residue on all the tissues. If you have combination skin then there will be oily residue only on the tissues applied to the forehead, cheeks and chin.

Some people may be thinking: Wait! I’ve heard of a fourth skin type, sensitive skin. Well, in all honesty sensitive skin is not a skin type, per se. It’s merely a condition of the different skin types just like aging skin.

How to Deal with Aging Skin

Okay, here is where it gets complicated. The older we get the more our skin becomes sensitive regardless of our skin type. So, it is vital that we find and use products that can treat our skin gently yet effectively.

This is when sensitive skin care comes in handy for every type of skin. Anti aging skin care products often contain ingredients that can be irritating for sensitive skin, such as Vitamin C, retinol and AHAs.

You may be tempted to use trial and error to find the right product. However, if your skin is too sensitive, this may lead to a cycle of irritation that can be hard to treat. So is there anything you can do? In fact, there is. Before purchasing any product make sure you read the labels and see if you can find any of the following ingredients:

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is probably one of the most soothing ingredients found in skin care products. It is useful for anti-aging because it can treat chronic redness and swelling.

Chamomile

The anti-inflammatory properties of this ingredient have made it a part of skin care treatments for years. In fact, its gentle nature makes it perfect for helping soothe sensitive skin.

Licorice Root Extract

Licorice root extract may appear in the ingredients label as licochalcone. It is a soothing ingredient that helps alleviate irritation and redness.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide is particular good for sensitive skin because it can help relieve inflammation and treat hyperpigmentation.

Antioxidants

If you want to treat aging skin then you should look for products that contain Vitamin E, polyphenols and other antioxidants. These ingredients are essential for anti-aging skin care and less irritating than AHAs and retinol.

One Last Piece of Advise

If you want to get the most from your anti aging skin care routine, make sure that you don’t skip the sunscreen. One of the main reasons premature skin wrinkles and age spots appear is because of UV radiation. A problem that can easily be treated by simply using sunscreen on a daily basis.

REJUVENATING CREAM is an excellent skin care lotion for sensitive, aging skin that promotes natural skin care thanks to its mix of natural ingredients. That’s right. The best thing about this natural REJUVENATING CREAM is that it is an excellent wrinkles cream that can be used for any type of skin regardless of how sensitive it is.
