Brides with sensitive skin, worry not. We are here to give you a step-by-step breakdown of how to take care of your skin and prepare it for your special day. There are a few different definitions for the word sensitive, but the one that you need to keep in mind is “easily offended or upset”. If your skin takes offense to almost everything, and shows you how it feels through cystic acne, dry patches, allergic reactions, and bouts of dermatitis. Then you have come to the right place. Wedding Affair brings to you the go-to skincare routine for sensitive skin.
To Keep In Mind
Find cleansers, serums, and spot treatments that are gentle enough to keep your skin calm yet powerful enough to actually do something. Trendy acid exfoliators may work well for other skin types but will result in redness and irritation for you. Also, retinoids trigger angry breakouts, and most clay masks leave will strip your skin off moisture.
Cleansers
There’s no need for vigorous scrubbing first thing in the morning – a light, soothing lotion like cleanser swept over the skin will do just the trick for removing any greasy product residue from the night before, and will leave skin feeling calm and refreshed. This reduces the risk of triggering sensitive skin redness first thing in the morning.
Face Mist
A cooling fix with added benefits, a face mist is a must-have addition to a sensitive skin routine – it’s perfect for reapplying throughout the day. Not only is it extremely gentle and refreshing, it’s also perfect for waking up dull, tired skin.
Moisturiser
Sensitive skin is often lacking in hydration so it’s important to keep it well moisturised to make it feel comfortable throughout the day. Light moisturisers containing allantoin,, is specifically formulated for sensitive skin types. Such light moisturisers are natural anti-inflammatory and hydrate without clogging pores.
Sheet Masks
Chilled sheet masks are perfect for speedily soothing and calming inflamed and irritated skin. If you’ve had a reaction or your skin is feeling a little bit itchy, pop a cold sheet mask on for instant relief. Ones that contain hydration heroes like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and cucumber are the best for your sensitive skin. Use it to calm skin down before bed and you’ll wake up soft and glowing.
