With the Diwali season nearing us, those with sensitive skin need extra care to combat exposure to festive pollutants and makeup. Here’s a guide on how to prep and protect your skin effectively.
CLEANSE
Select alcohol-free toners with soothing ingredients such as aloe vera. This helps reduce redness and keeps your skin moist all day.
MOISTURISE WELL
Sensitive skin thrives with a rich cream containing ceramides. It seals in moisture and strengthens defenses against pollutants.
USE SUNSCREEN
Sun exposure can increase sensitivity, so put on SPF 30 or higher even indoors with bright lighting.
STEER CLEAR OF HEAVY MAKEUP
Choose light, non-clogging makeup to avoid blocked pores and irritation. Seek 'hypoallergenic' on products to dodge flare-ups.
REMOVE MAKEUP
Choose a gentle oil-based makeup remover for fewer irritation risks, leaving your skin soft and refreshed.
SOOTHING NIGHT MASK
Wrap up your day with a soothing, fragrance-free night mask. Look for chamomile or niacinamide to help calm and heal sensitive skin.
STUDY FINDINGS
According to the National Institutes Of Health (NIH), gentle products and consistent hydration are essential for maintaining skin resilience and soothing irritation.
Conclusion
Enjoy Diwali festivities with skin that’s glowing, calm, and stress-free! Consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
