The world is filled with so many skincare products to choose from. While some are good products, others are untested and can cause damage to your skin. As tempting as it is to try, we advise against applying just anything to your body or skin especially if you already know you have sensitive skin. Below we have a few skincare products that are suitable for your sensitive skin that you can find locally in Lagos and across the country.
Do I Have Sensitive Skin?
According to webMD, there isn’t a definitive checklist that dermatologists use to define sensitive skin. There are, however, a few revealing signs that can help you determine whether you have this skin type. These could include:
- Your skin becomes red or blotchy under the sun
- Signs of itching, stinging, burning and a feeling of tightness
- Skin reactions such as pustules, skin bumps, or skin erosion
- Very dry skin
Must Have Skincare Products for Sensitive Skin
Cleanser
Every skincare routine should always begin with a cleanser.
Think about what your body and skin go through during the day with pollution, the sun, various makeup you use, the sunscreen and all other impurities. By not cleansing your skin, you risk all of those impurities clogging your pores, which can lead to everything from breakouts and irritation to dull and dry skin. We recommend using any of the CookieSkin soaps.
Tonics
Tonics offer a wide range of benefits, including balancing the skin’s pH levels post-cleansing, soothing the skin and removing any lingering bits of residue or dirt. Sensitive skin types can benefit from using a tonic designed with natural ingredients such as Revitalizing Luminous Tonic
Serum
Serums are an essential addition to your skincare routine as they can focus on specific concerns such as wrinkles, dark spots and more. For sensitive skin, we recommend the Oil & Pores Serum which helps maintain the skin’s moisture levels and reduces the appearance of redness.
Body Lotion
Keeping your skin well-hydrated with body lotion will leave your skin with a special glow and you feeling extra smooth. Try one of our loved body lotions such Brightening Body Lotion
Body Cream with with SPF
Another essential skincare product you need in your kit is body cream with sunscreen. Our skin is affected by the heat, rain and sun’s rays we can’t see. Body cream with sunscreen can prevent skin cancer, keep off skin damage that causes a weakened skin barrier and sensitivity. Reach for a body cream with sunscreen that’s sensitive skin-safe, like the Complexion Day Lotion with SPF 50.
